Work Truck Attachments Segment Second Quarter 2026 Results

●

Net Sales increased 20% to $129.3 million, driven by strong demand for snow and ice control products, plus the addition of Venco Venturo.

●

Adjusted EBITDA increased 13% to $35.8 million, with Adjusted EBITDA margins of 27.7%, based on the impact of Venco Venturo, timing of preseason shipments, and business mix.

●

The ratio of pre-season shipments in 2026 is expected to be close to a 50% to 50% split between the second and third quarters, compared to a 60% to 40% split in 2025.

Van Genderen explained, “The strong snowfall this past winter set the stage for a robust pre-season in Attachments, and results to date have exceeded our initial expectations, particularly for parts and accessories. Based on the strength of our third-quarter projections, we anticipate preseason shipments will be split nearly evenly between the second and third quarters this year. Our team continues to execute effectively, ensuring timely deliveries to dealers and enabling installations to be completed ahead of the winter season.”

Work Truck Solutions Segment Second Quarter 2026 Results

●

Net Sales of $85.3 million are relatively flat, with lower Adjusted EBITDA of $8.8 million, based on continued lower commercial demand somewhat offset by strength in municipal demand.

Van Genderen stated, “The Solutions segment produced a strong quarter overall, despite facing a tough comparison to record second quarter results in 2025. Municipal demand continues to be a source of strength, and we continue to invest to expand our capacity to meet customer needs. At the same time, we are navigating softer demand in select commercial business lines. As a result, we are taking targeted actions to optimize our sales and marketing efforts and align our cost structure to preserve profitability.”

Dividend & Liquidity

●

Returned approximately $10 million of cash to shareholders through the payment of a quarterly cash dividend of $0.295 per diluted share, and the repurchase of approximately 67,500 shares of company stock.

●

Net cash used in operating activities increased $12.5 million to $25.2 million for the first half of 2026. The increase was due to higher inventory required to meet demand across both segments and increased receivables driven by higher net sales.

●

Capital expenditures increased by $2.2 million to $7.3 million in the first half of 2026 as planned. The Company continues to expect 2026 Capital Expenditures to be towards the higher end of the traditional range of 2% to 3% of Net Sales.

2026 Outlook

Sarah Lauber, Executive Vice President and CFO, noted, “Based on the strength of pre-season orders for the Attachments segment, we are raising our 2026 guidance once again. In Solutions, healthy municipal demand continues to support performance near our record 2025 levels, largely offsetting the anticipated softness in some of our commercial markets. Supported by the hard work and dedication of our team, our updated outlook highlights that we are on track to produce record annual results in 2026.”

*In millions, except per share, and tax rate data

The 2026 outlook assumes relatively stable economic and supply chain conditions, that pre-season orders are still expected to be shipped approximately equally between the second and third quarters, and that core markets will experience average snowfall in the fourth quarter of 2026.

With respect to the Company’s 2026 financial outlook, the Company is not able to provide a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP because it does not provide specific guidance for the various extraordinary, nonrecurring, or unusual charges and other certain items. These items have not yet occurred, are out of the Company’s control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted. As a result, reconciliation of the non-GAAP guidance measures to GAAP is not available without unreasonable effort and the Company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information.

Earnings Conference Call Information

The Company will host a conference call on Monday, August 3, 2026 at 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time (10:00 a.m. Central Time). To join the conference call, please dial 1-833-634-5024 domestically, or 1-412-902-4205 internationally.

About Douglas Dynamics

For more than 75 years, the Company has been innovating products that not only enable people to perform their jobs more efficiently and effectively, but also enable businesses to increase profitability. Through its proprietary Douglas Dynamics Management System (DDMS), the Company is committed to continuous improvement aimed at consistently producing the highest quality products, at industry-leading levels of service and delivery that ultimately drive shareholder value. The Douglas Dynamics portfolio of products and services is separated into two segments: First, the Work Truck Attachments segment, which includes commercial snow and ice control equipment sold under the FISHER®, SNOWEX® and WESTERN® brands, and truck mounted cranes and dump hoists sold under the VENCO VENTURO brands. Second, the Work Truck Solutions segment, which includes the up-fit of market leading attachments and storage solutions under the HENDERSON® brand, and the DEJANA® brand and its related sub-brands.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains financial information calculated other than in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). The non-GAAP measures used in this press release are Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Share (EPS), and Free Cash Flow. The Company believes that these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors and other external users of its consolidated financial statements in evaluating the Company’s operating performance as compared to that of other companies. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the nearest comparable GAAP measures can be found immediately following the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows included in this press release.

Adjusted EBITDA represents net income before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, as further adjusted for certain charges consisting of unrelated legal and consulting fees, stock-based compensation, severance, restructuring charges, acquisition costs, inventory step up related to Venco Venturo, CEO transition costs, debt modification expense, and loss on extinguishment of debt. The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA in evaluating the Company’s operating performance because it provides the Company and its investors with additional tools to compare its operating performance on a consistent basis by removing the impact of certain items that management believes do not directly reflect the Company’s core operations. The Company’s management also uses Adjusted EBITDA for planning purposes, including the preparation of its annual operating budget and financial projections, and to evaluate the Company’s ability to make certain payments, including dividends, in compliance with its senior credit facilities, which is determined based on a calculation of “Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA” that is substantially similar to Adjusted EBITDA.

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Share (calculated on a diluted basis) represents net income and earnings per share (as defined by GAAP), excluding the impact of stock based compensation, severance, restructuring charges, acquisition costs, inventory step up related to Venco Venturo, CEO transition costs, debt modification expense, loss on extinguishment of debt, and certain charges related to unrelated legal fees and consulting fees. Management believes that Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Share are useful in assessing the Company’s financial performance by eliminating expenses and income that are not reflective of the underlying business performance.

Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP financial measure that we define as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less the acquisition of property and equipment. Free Cash Flow should be evaluated in addition to, and not considered a substitute for, other financial measures such as Net Income and Net Cash Provided By (Used in) Operating Activities. We believe that free cash flow represents our ability to generate additional cash flow from our business operations.
