FOXF

Have you been searching for a stock that might be well-positioned to maintain its earnings-beat streak in its upcoming report? It is worth considering Fox Factory Holding (FOXF), which belongs to the Zacks Automotive - Domestic industry. This vehicle suspension maker has an established record of topping earnings estimates, especially when looking at the previous two reports. The company boasts an average surprise for the past two quarters of 115.63%. For the most recent quarter, Fox Factory Holding was expected to post earnings of $0.16 per share, but it reported $0.37 per share instead, representing a surprise of 131.25%. For the previous quarter, the consensus estimate was $0.09 per share, while it actually produced $0.18 per share, a surprise of 100.00%. Thanks in part to this history, there has been a favorable change in earnings estimates for Fox Factory Holding lately. In fact, the Zacks Earnings ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction) for the stock is positive, which is a great indicator of an earnings beat, particularly when combined with its solid Zacks Rank. Our research shows that stocks with the combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) or better produce a positive surprise nearly 70% of the time. In other words, if you have 10 stocks with this combination, the number of stocks that beat the consensus estimate could be as high as seven. The Zacks Earnings ESP compares the Most Accurate Estimate to the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter; the Most Accurate Estimate is a version of the Zacks Consensus whose definition is related to change. The idea here is that analysts revising their estimates right before an earnings release have the latest information, which could potentially be more accurate than what they and others contributing to the consensus had predicted earlier. Fox Factory Holding currently has an Earnings ESP of +3.73%, which suggests that analysts have recently become bullish on the company's earnings prospects. This positive Earnings ESP when combined with the stock's Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) indicates that another beat is possibly around the corner. We expect the company's next earnings report to be released on November 5, 2026. With the Earnings ESP metric, it's important to note that a negative value reduces its predictive power; however, a negative Earnings ESP does not indicate an earnings miss. Many companies end up beating the consensus EPS estimate, though this is not the only reason why their shares gain. Additionally, some stocks may remain stable even if they end up missing the consensus estimate. Because of this, it's really important to check a company's Earnings ESP ahead of its quarterly release to increase the odds of success. Make sure to utilize our Earnings ESP Filter to uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they've reported. Want the latest recommendations from Zacks Investment Research?

General Motors GM reported third-quarter 2026 adjusted earnings of $3.7 per share, up 32.2% year over year. The figure surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $3.55. Higher wholesale volumes, favorable vehicle mix and cost efficiencies supported the outperformance. Revenues increased 2.9% to $50.02 billion and beat the consensus estimate of $48.21 billion. Global wholesale volume rose to 1.03 million vehicles from 976,000 a year earlier. Adjusted earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) increased 21.6% to $4.11 billion, while adjusted EBIT margin expanded 130 basis points to 8.2%. General Motors Company price-consensus-eps-surprise-chart | General Motors Company Quote GM North America generated revenues of $41.42 billion, up 2.1% from the prior-year quarter. Wholesale volume increased to 870,000 vehicles from 840,000, supported by higher internal combustion engine (ICE) shipments. ICE volume increased by 53,000 units, partly offset by a 23,000-unit decline in electric vehicle volume. The segment's adjusted EBIT surged 43.4% to $3.59 billion. Adjusted EBIT margin expanded 250 basis points to 8.7%. Lower warranty costs, favorable EV inventory adjustments and improved vehicle mix supported profitability. Higher commodity, logistics and manufacturing costs partly offset these benefits. U.S. dealer inventory ended the quarter at 568,000 vehicles compared with 527,000 a year earlier. The company maintained pricing discipline, with incentives averaging 4.8% of manufacturer's suggested retail price, below the industry average of 6.6%. GM International revenues increased 12.1% year over year to $4.09 billion. Wholesale volume climbed to 159,000 vehicles from 137,000, supported by higher shipments in South America. However, adjusted EBIT declined 87.6% to $28 million. Higher manufacturing and logistics expenses, alongside a negative mark-to-market adjustment related to GM's investment in Momenta, weighed on profitability. Higher volumes and favorable foreign exchange movements provided partial relief. GM's China joint ventures generated equity income of $32 million, down 60% year over year. Nevertheless, the China business delivered its eighth consecutive profitable quarter, supported by restructuring efforts and strong new-energy vehicle sales. GM Financial revenues declined marginally to $4.31 billion from $4.34 billion in the year-ago quarter. Ending earning assets increased to $126.9 billion from $126.5 billion. Adjusted earnings before taxes declined 16.9% to $668 million. Lower interest expenses and higher retail yields were offset by increased provisions for loan losses and higher lease depreciation expenses. The financing arm paid a $250 million dividend to GM during the quarter, bringing year-to-date dividends to $1.2 billion. OnStar ended the quarter with deferred revenues of $6.8 billion, up approximately 40% year over year. Recognized revenues exceeded $800 million, increasing 15%. The company remained on track to add approximately 1 million subscribers in 2026, approaching 13 million by year-end. Super Cruise recognized revenues increased approximately 60%. GM delivered around 83,000 Super Cruise-equipped vehicles during the quarter, bringing year-to-date sales above 243,000 units. Management expects to exceed 850,000 subscribers by year-end, with the post-three-year prepaid subscription attach rate remaining between 30% and 40%. Automotive operating cash flow increased 32.6% to $8.05 billion. Adjusted automotive free cash flow jumped 40% to $5.88 billion, driven by higher automotive earnings and tariff-related timing benefits. Capital expenditures totaled $2.33 billion for automotive operations. GM repurchased $2.5 billion of shares, retiring approximately 29 million shares, and distributed $200 million in dividends. Automotive cash and marketable securities totaled $23.1 billion, while total automotive liquidity reached $37.1 billion. The board also authorized a new $20 billion multi-year share repurchase program. General Motors narrowed its full-year adjusted EBIT guidance to $14.5-$15.5 billion from $14-$16 billion. Adjusted earnings are now projected at $12.75-$13.75 per share, compared with the previous range of $12-$14. The company raised its adjusted automotive free cash flow forecast to $11.5-$12.5 billion from $9.5-$11.5 billion. It maintained expectations for an 8-10% adjusted EBIT margin in North America and capital spending, including battery joint-venture investments, of $10-$12 billion. Management expects warranty savings toward the upper end of $1-$1.5 billion, while commodity inflation, including logistics and memory-chip costs, is projected at approximately $2 billion. Gross tariff costs are expected near the lower end of the $2.5-$3.5 billion range. The board declared a quarterly dividend of 18 cents per share, payable Dec. 17, 2026, to shareholders of record as of Dec. 4. GM currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).

Interested in Fox Factory Holding Corp.? Here are five stocks we like better. Strong second-quarter execution: Revenue was $358.1 million, down 4.5% year over year, while adjusted EBITDA reached $45.5 million, exceeding guidance by about $5 million. Excluding tariff refunds, adjusted EBITDA margin improved sequentially to approximately 12.2%. Cost savings are being offset by inflation: Fox Factory captured more than $25 million in savings during the first half and remains on track for roughly $50 million in annual savings, but tariffs, commodities, freight and fuel are expected to add nearly $20 million in costs versus its plan. Full-year revenue outlook raised: The company increased 2026 revenue guidance to $1.42 billion–$1.47 billion while narrowing adjusted EBITDA guidance to $176 million–$196 million. New vehicle awards, electric-vehicle programs and stabilizing powersports and bicycle markets are expected to support future growth, while net leverage stood at 3.7 times at quarter-end. From Zero to Hero? Why GoPro's Rally Could Be More Than It Seems Fox Factory (NASDAQ:FOXF) reported second-quarter 2026 revenue at the high end of its guidance range and adjusted EBITDA above expectations, while raising its full-year sales outlook and maintaining its cost-savings target amid elevated commodity, freight and fuel expenses. Revenue for the second quarter totaled $358.1 million, down 4.5% from a year earlier and 2.9% sequentially. Adjusted EBITDA was $45.5 million, about $5 million above the high end of the company’s guided range. The result included roughly $2 million in IEEPA tariff refunds; excluding those proceeds, adjusted EBITDA margin was approximately 12.2%, up about 250 basis points sequentially from the first quarter on a comparable basis. → 3 Drone Stocks That Should Soar After the Summer Slump Top 2 Small Cap Automotive Stocks Set for a Strong Rally “Revenue growth is returning,” Chief Executive Officer Michael Dennison said, citing new product programs, partnerships and operational productivity. He said the company’s revenue decline from the first quarter was expected, reflecting the divestiture of Phoenix operations, shipment timing and lower Ford F-150 volumes related to aluminum supply disruption. Fox Factory said it captured more than $25 million of gross savings during the first half and remains on track to achieve approximately $50 million for the full year. The company said the savings include roughly $10 million of carryover from phase one of its profit-optimization program and about $40 million from phase two. → Meta’s Earnings Drop Shows Wall Street Wants More Than Ad Growth However, the company said higher input costs have limited the net benefit. Chief Financial Officer Dennis Schemm said incremental input-cost inflation is running nearly $20 million above assumptions in the company’s full-year plan, driven by tariffs, commodities, freight and fuel costs. About $15 million of that additional pressure is expected in the second half. Gross margin was 30.6%, compared with 31.2% a year earlier, as product mix and higher external costs more than offset cost-savings realization. Adjusted operating expenses fell to $78.5 million, or 21.9% of revenue, from $83.5 million, or 22.3% of revenue, in the prior-year period. → Jersey Mike's Serves Fresh Gains After IPO Stumble Schemm said the company does not assume relief in commodity, freight or fuel costs in its outlook. Fox Factory expects margin expansion in the second half as phase-two savings increase, last year’s tariffs are lapped and pricing and surcharge recovery initiatives move forward with OEM and channel partners. Powered Vehicles Group: Net sales rose slightly year over year to $124.2 million. Powersports revenue increased 22.5% in the quarter and 28% in the first half, as OEM customers worked through channel inventory imbalances. Automotive results remained affected by aluminum supply constraints that reduced F-150 production, as well as supply-chain issues at Toyota. Aftermarket Applications Group: Sales fell 4% to $109.6 million, including an approximately $5.5 million impact from the Phoenix divestiture. Excluding that effect, the segment posted modest growth despite reduced F-150 volumes. Segment margin improved about 70 basis points year over year and roughly 500 basis points sequentially. Specialty Sports Group: Revenue declined 9.4% year over year to $124.3 million but rose 12.5% from the first quarter. The company said bicycle revenue should remain broadly stable for the year, with a seasonal pickup expected in the third quarter. Segment margin was essentially flat despite lower sales. Dennison said Fox Factory is seeing stabilization in both powersports and premium bicycle suspension following periods of inventory disruption. In bike, he pointed to demand for new e-bike, drivetrain, battery and motor technologies, adding that some products have sold out. The company also said it launched next-year bicycle models during the second quarter. Within Marucci, the company delayed a new bat launch from the second quarter into the third quarter to support inventory availability and give the product a stronger market launch. Dennison said the company is working through existing sporting-goods inventory while using innovation to support demand. He said softball has become an increasingly important contributor to Marucci, while Lizard Skins and certain glove categories have performed strongly. Fox Factory said it launched 12 new vehicle fitments during the year, including expanded aftermarket Live Valve offerings. The company cited new powersports applications, including Kawasaki’s Teryx H2 with Fox’s advanced chassis control system and Polaris’ RZR Pro R Boost using Fox 3.0 Live Valve X2 shocks. The company also said it received a new vehicle award from an existing automotive OEM that is expected to generate meaningful volume in 2028. Separately, it won business with a new electric-vehicle OEM for an autonomous-vehicle application. Shipments for that program are expected to begin late in 2026 and contribute incremental volume in 2027. In its aftermarket upfitting business, Fox Factory said its traditional custom upfit operations remain its primary go-to-market model. But new OEM-driven customization programs are expected to provide dealer access, reduce marketing and sales complexity, and improve factory utilization, even though they generally carry less content per vehicle than traditional custom builds. Fox Factory raised its full-year 2026 revenue outlook to a range of $1.42 billion to $1.47 billion. It narrowed adjusted EBITDA guidance to $176 million to $196 million, representing approximately 5% to 16% growth over fiscal 2025 on roughly flat revenue, according to the company. The revised outlook implies full-year adjusted EBITDA margin of approximately 12.4% to 13.3%, below the roughly 13.1% to 14.3% margin range implied by February guidance because of inflation and mix dynamics. For the third quarter, Fox Factory expects net sales of $355 million to $380 million and adjusted EBITDA of $46 million to $54 million. The outlook reflects the delayed Marucci product launch and normalization of bike volumes after a supplier disruption, partially offset by continued chassis supply constraints in automotive-related operations. At quarter-end, cash and cash equivalents were $61.3 million, while total debt was $667.7 million, down $20.5 million sequentially. The company’s net leverage ratio was 3.7 times, compared with a five-times covenant under its amended credit agreement. Fox Factory said it expects meaningful debt reduction progress during the remainder of the year through EBITDA improvement, working-capital management and disciplined capital spending.

Fox Factory Holding Corp (NASDAQ:FOXF) delivered second-quarter revenue at the high end of its guided range and adjusted EBITDA approximately $5 million above the high end of its guidance. The company's profit optimization program is on schedule, capturing more than $25 million in gross savings in the first half of 2026, with a reaffirmed target of approximately $50 million in total gross savings for the year. Powersports segment showed strong growth, with sales up 22.5% in the second quarter and 28% in the first half year-over-year, as OEM customers worked through channel inventory imbalances. The company has won significant new business awards, including a new vehicle with an existing OEM for 2028 and a new electric vehicle OEM for an autonomous vehicle, which will drive incremental volume in 2027. Fox Factory Holding Corp (NASDAQ:FOXF) is raising its full-year net sales guidance and narrowing its adjusted EBITDA outlook, reflecting confidence in its cost-out programs and back-half performance. The company improved its cash conversion cycle by approximately 12 days year-over-year and reduced days inventory on hand to approximately 136 days from 150 days a year ago. Adjusted EBITDA margin expanded approximately 250 basis points sequentially in the second quarter, excluding tariff refunds, demonstrating progress on margin recovery. The company is seeing stabilization in its bike and powersports markets, with new product launches in e-bikes and softball driving demand and optimism for future growth. Fox Factory Holding Corp (NASDAQ:FOXF) experienced a 4.5% year-over-year decline in total consolidated net sales for the second quarter, reflecting portfolio optimization and shipment timing issues. The company is facing significant external cost pressures, with incremental input cost inflation running nearly $20 million above its full-year plan due to higher steel, aluminum, freight, and fuel costs. The aluminum supply disruption affecting Ford's F-150 platforms continued to negatively impact volumes in the second quarter, with production expected to resume only in early to mid-September. The company's full-year adjusted EBITDA margin guidance was lowered to approximately 12.4% to 13.3%, down from the roughly 13.1% to 14.3% implied in February, due to persistent inflation. The SSG segment, which includes bike and Marucci, saw a 9.4% year-over-year decrease in net sales, with mixed near-term demand signals as consumers remain cautious. The company's effective tax rate was 36% in the quarter, significantly higher than the federal statutory rate, due to discrete items and lower pretax income. Net debt reduction in the first half was below expectations due to seasonal working capital build and the cash impacts of first-half tariffs, with net leverage at 3.7 times. The company is absorbing significant distribution-related expenses to protect customer delivery schedules, which is compressing net realization of its cost savings programs. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 10 Warning Signs with FOXF. Is FOXF fairly valued? Test your thesis with our free DCF calculator. Q: Can you help us bridge the steep ramp in EBITDA margin into the fourth quarter, as implied by your guidance? What are the key drivers?A: Dennis Shem, CFO: The step-up from 12.2% in Q2 to 13.6% in Q3 and then to roughly 15.6% in Q4 is driven by the net release of our cost savings programs as we anniversary tariffs from the first half of the year. In Q3, we also benefit from the delayed Marucci bat launch and the normalization of bike volumes tied to supplier disruptions. Moving into Q4, the drivers include a recovery in PVG as F-150 chassis supply constraints ease, further margin contribution from Marucci during the holiday season, and the full run rate of our Phase 2 cost optimization actions. Q: Can you unpack what's embedded in your guidance for the bike business in the back half? Are you expecting growth, and how far away are we from seeing more reliable growth in the industry?A: Dennis Shem, CFO: We are expecting the bike business to be extremely stable with the prior year, not necessarily growth, but with strong margins for the entire year. We should see a pickup in Q3 relative to the bike side and then leveling off with normal seasonality in Q4. Mike Dennison, CEO, added that the premium nature of their product offering creates more predictability, and new product launches in e-bike and drivetrain technology are attracting new consumers, with some products sold out, which provides optimism for the business's direction. Q: Regarding the upfitting business, can you help us think about the mix between legacy upfitting and the new OEM-driven customization programs, and expectations for the back half?A: Mike Dennison, CEO: The primary business model is still the core outfitting business. The new OEM-driven customization programs are a smaller part of the mix but are important because they drive dealer growth and engagement through the OEM's marketing and sales channels, and they provide factory absorption and productivity. This relieves complexity and cost for Fox relative to marketing and sales, and the kits are menu-driven, flowing through production quickly to absorb overhead expenses. Q: Can you give us an update on the latest in sporting goods, specifically the delayed Marucci bat launch and order patterns?A: Mike Dennison, CEO: The delay in Q2 was driven by us to ensure we could launch the bat with the right level of inventory in the channels. We delayed the launch to create the best opportunity for a great launch with heavier volume. New product is the best bet against inventory challenges, so we pushed the launch to Q3 to give it the most airtime. We are confident in what it can do in Q3 and Q4. We are also seeing strength in the softball market, which is growing significantly and outpacing growth in most other sectors of Marucci. Q: How are the non-baseball parts of Marucci doing, such as Lizard Skins, the MLB contract, and the grips business?A: Mike Dennison, CEO: Lizard Skins is doing fantastic. We moved its warehousing and distribution to Baton Rouge for optimization, which is helping on the cost basis. End market demand is strong as it expands into sports beyond baseball. The MLB relationship is very good, with a fantastic performance at the All-Star Game and Home Run Derby. Other parts of the business, like gloves, are quite strong, but we are trimming back softer areas like shoes to focus on what works best. Dennis Shem, CFO, added that the big driver remains baseball and softball, with success internationally in Japan. Q: Can you give us the net go-forward narrative on tariffs, looking past IEPA refunds, into the back half of the year and into next year?A: Dennis Shem, CFO: We have anniversaried a lot of the tariff impact. We previously discussed an $80 million annual impact, which we netted down to around $40 million through operational and supply chain work. Going forward, we expect tariffs to continue to some degree, with a slight benefit to Marucci near year-end. Mike Dennison, CEO, added that if we are through the majority of tariff changes, tariffs become fairly priced into products and markets by 2027, making them a lesser factor on a go-forward basis relative to P&L impact. Q: How much of the $20 million incremental input cost inflation is built into pricing for 2027?A: Dennis Shem, CFO: Very little would be built in now because it's so fresh. The teams are looking at it and will build their plans as we move into the back half of the year, when customer conversations will start. We will continue our operational efforts to look for cost outs. Mike Dennison, CEO, added that temporary inflation from shipping channels is transient, while commodity index increases can be stickier and easier to price through to OEM customers. Freight and fuel cost changes may require more permanent supply chain structure changes, which will be figured out between Q3 and Q4. Q: Can you update us on progress with diversification into other platforms outside of Ford, Toyota, and RAM in the AAG segment?A: Mike Dennison, CEO: Most of our diversification is coming through new partnerships with predominantly Ford and Stellantis. These collaborations have expanded beyond a few products to other vehicles, taking us into new places and relationships we didn't have before. This diversification is compelling, probably more so than adding additional OEM brands to the mix.

Fox Factory Holding (FOXF) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.37 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.16 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.4 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items. This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of +131.25%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this vehicle suspension maker would post earnings of $0.09 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.18, delivering a surprise of +100%. Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates three times. Fox Factory Holding, which belongs to the Zacks Automotive - Domestic industry, posted revenues of $358.12 million for the quarter ended June 2026, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 1.43%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $374.86 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates three times over the last four quarters. The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call. Fox Factory Holding shares have added about 14.9% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 12.8%. While Fox Factory Holding has outperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock? There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately. Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions. Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Fox Factory Holding was unfavorable. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to underperform the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here. It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and the current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $0.55 on $348.48 million in revenues for the coming quarter and $1.41 on $1.4 billion in revenues for the current fiscal year. Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Automotive - Domestic is currently in the top 30% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1. Another stock from the same industry, VinFast Auto Ltd. (VFS), has yet to report results for the quarter ended June 2026. This company is expected to post quarterly loss of $0.26 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +25.7%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days. VinFast Auto Ltd.'s revenues are expected to be $1.25 billion, up 88.8% from the year-ago quarter.

DULUTH, Ga., Aug. 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Fox Factory Holding Corp. (NASDAQ: FOXF) (“FOX” or the “Company”), a premium brand and a global leader in the design, engineering and manufacturing of performance-defining products and systems for customers worldwide, today reported financial results for the second fiscal quarter ended July 3, 2026. Second Quarter Fiscal 2026 Highlights Net sales of $358.1 million, driven by continued strength in powersports, compared to $374.9 million in the prior year Net income of $4.1 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, compared to net income of $2.7 million, or $0.07 per diluted share in the prior year Adjusted net income of $15.5 million, or $0.37 per diluted share, compared to adjusted net income of $16.6 million, or $0.40 per diluted share in the prior year Adjusted EBITDA of $45.5 million, included approximately $2 million of IEEPA tariff refunds, and exceeded the high end of the guidance range Adjusted EBITDA margin (includes 50 bps of IEEPA tariff refunds) expanded 300 basis points sequentially to 12.7%, reflecting profit optimization execution across portfolio rationalization, supply chain, and operating expense management Profit optimization initiative delivered $25+ million of gross savings in the first half; operational improvements to drive second half margin despite tariff, commodity, and freight headwinds Reduced net debt by $9.1 million since 2025 fiscal year end and improved the cash conversion cycle by approximately 12 days year over year, further strengthening the balance sheet Mike Dennison, FOX's Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Our second quarter results met or exceeded our guidance, with adjusted EBITDA margin expanding approximately 250 basis points sequentially, excluding tariff refunds. Our profit optimization actions remain on track to deliver approximately $50 million of gross cost savings this year, driven by continued execution across portfolio rationalization, supply chain, and cost discipline. A portion of what we captured in the first half was offset by higher input costs driven by geopolitical disruption and commodity inflation, including freight surcharges and fuel costs above original expectations. We are encouraged by signs of stabilization in powersports, bike, and aftermarket in general, while our upfit businesses continue to be constrained by limited availability of Ford F-150 chassis. Our team remains focused on sharpening the portfolio and becoming a more efficient organization that is positioned for growth and profitability.” Mr. Dennison continued, "We expect to see continued strength in revenue through the back half driven by PVG with overall adjusted EBITDA margin tempered by continued macro headwinds and mix shifts. Our outlook assumes Ford F-150 chassis availability remains constrained through August and begins to recover in early September.” Second Quarter 2026 Results Net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2026 were $358.1 million, a decrease of 4.5%, as compared to net sales of $374.9 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2025. This decrease reflects a $12.9 million, or 9.4%, decrease in Specialty Sports Group (“SSG”) net sales, and a $4.6 million, or 4.0%, decrease in Aftermarket Applications Group (“AAG”) net sales, partially offset by a $0.7 million, or 0.6%, increase in Powered Vehicles Group (“PVG”) net sales. The decrease in SSG net sales from $137.2 million to $124.3 million primarily reflects original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) order timing, and channel destocking in response to market-wide economic conditions. AAG net sales decreased from $114.2 million to $109.6 million. The Phoenix, Arizona operations divested in the first quarter contributed $5.5 million of net sales in the prior year period and none in the current period. Excluding those operations, AAG net sales increased approximately 0.9%, as growth in the segment was partially offset by limited availability of Ford F-150 chassis for our upfit businesses following the 2025 fires at Novelis’ Oswego, New York aluminum facility. The slight increase in PVG net sales from $123.5 million to $124.2 million is mainly attributed to strengthening demand in powersports, where net sales increased 22.5% compared to the prior year period, partially offset by lower net sales in our autos-related product lines. Gross margin was 30.6% for the second quarter of fiscal 2026, compared to gross margin of 31.2% in the second quarter of fiscal 2025. The decrease in gross margin was primarily driven by shifts in our product line mix and higher external input costs, including tariffs, freight, commodities and fuel, partially offset by cost savings realization. Total operating expenses were $92.2 million, or 25.7% of net sales, in the second quarter of fiscal 2026, compared to $98.5 million, or 26.3% of net sales, in the second quarter of fiscal 2025. Operating expenses decreased by $6.3 million, driven by our optimization initiative, including lower general and administrative expense and reduced discretionary spending. Adjusted operating expenses were $78.5 million, or 21.9% of net sales, in the second quarter of fiscal 2026, compared to $83.5 million, or 22.3% of net sales, in the second quarter of the prior fiscal year. Income tax expense was $2.3 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2026, compared to $2.8 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2025. In the second quarter of fiscal 2026, the difference between the Company’s effective tax rate of 36.0% and the 21% federal statutory rate was primarily attributable to unfavorable impact of discrete items in proportion to lower levels of pre-tax income. Net income attributable to FOX stockholders in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 was $4.1 million, compared to net income attributable to FOX stockholders of $2.7 million in the second quarter of the prior fiscal year. Earnings per diluted share for the second quarter of fiscal 2026 was $0.10, compared to earnings per diluted share of $0.07 for the second quarter of fiscal 2025. Adjusted net income in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 was $15.5 million, or $0.37 of adjusted earnings per diluted share, compared to adjusted net income of $16.6 million, or $0.40 of adjusted earnings per diluted share, in the same period of the prior fiscal year. Adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 was $45.5 million and includes an approximate $2 million benefit associated with IEEPA tariff refunds, compared to $49.3 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2025. Adjusted EBITDA margin in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 was 12.7% or approximately 12.2% excluding the tariff refunds, compared to 13.1% in the second quarter of fiscal 2025. First Six Months Fiscal 2026 Results Net sales for the six months ended July 3, 2026, were $726.8 million, a decrease of 0.4% compared to the six months ended July 4, 2025. This decrease reflects a $23.4 million or 9.1% decrease in SSG net sales and a $1.8 million or 0.8% decrease in AAG net sales, offset by a $22.0 million or 9.0% increase in PVG net sales. The decrease in SSG net sales from $258.2 million to $234.8 million is mainly due to OEM order timing and channel destocking in response to market-wide economic conditions. AAG net sales decreased from $226.1 million to $224.3 million. The divested Phoenix, Arizona operations contributed $12.5 million of net sales in the prior year period and $3.7 million in the current period. Excluding those operations, AAG net sales increased approximately 3.3%, with growth limited by constrained availability of Ford F-150 chassis for our upfit businesses. The increase in PVG net sales from $245.6 million to $267.6 million is primarily due to strengthening demand in powersports. Gross margin was 29.7% in the six months ended July 3, 2026, compared to gross margin of 31.1% in the six months ended July 4, 2025. The decrease in gross margin is primarily driven by the net impact of tariffs and other external input costs, including freight, commodities and fuel, and by shifts in our product line mix, partially offset by cost savings realization. Total operating expenses were $192.6 million, or 26.5% of net sales, in the six months ended July 3, 2026, compared to $458.7 million, or 62.8% of net sales in the six months ended July 4, 2025. Operating expenses decreased by $266.1 million primarily due to goodwill impairment of $262.1 million recorded in the first six months of fiscal 2025 and our optimization initiative. Adjusted operating expenses were $164.0 million in the six months ended July 3, 2026, compared to $167.9 million in the six months ended July 4, 2025. Other expense, net for the six months ended July 3, 2026 was $9.0 million, an increase of $10.5 million from $1.5 million other income, net in the six months ended July 4, 2025. The increase in other expense, net was primarily attributable to a $10.6 million loss on divestiture of the Phoenix, Arizona AAG operations. Net loss attributable to FOX stockholders in the six months ended July 3, 2026 was $10.9 million, compared to net loss attributable to FOX stockholders of $257.0 million in the six months ended July 4, 2025. Net loss per diluted share for the six months ended July 3, 2026 was $0.26, compared to net loss per diluted share of $6.15 for the six months ended July 4, 2025. Adjusted net income in the six months ended July 3, 2026 was $22.9 million, or $0.54 of adjusted earnings per diluted share, compared to $26.4 million, or $0.63 of adjusted earnings per diluted share in the prior fiscal year. Adjusted EBITDA in the six months ended July 3, 2026 was $81.2 million and includes an approximate $2 million benefit associated with IEEPA tariff refunds, compared to $88.9 million in the six months ended July 4, 2025. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 11.2% or approximately 10.9% excluding the tariff refunds in the six months ended July 3, 2026, compared to 12.2% in the prior fiscal year. Reconciliations to non-GAAP measures are provided at the end of this press release. Balance Sheet Summary As of July 3, 2026, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $61.3 million, compared to $58.0 million as of January 2, 2026. Inventory was $382.9 million as of July 3, 2026, compared to $388.6 million as of January 2, 2026. As of July 3, 2026, accounts receivable and accounts payable were $198.8 million and $134.9 million, respectively, compared to $190.7 million and $141.4 million, respectively, as of January 2, 2026. Prepaids and other current assets and other assets were $121.2 million as of July 3, 2026, compared to $108.4 million as of January 2, 2026. Accrued expenses were $84.4 million as of July 3, 2026, compared to $92.1 million as of January 2, 2026. Total debt was $667.7 million as of July 3, 2026, a decrease of $5.8 million, compared to $673.5 million as of January 2, 2026. Net debt, defined as total debt less cash and cash equivalents, was $606.4 million as of July 3, 2026, a decrease of $9.1 million compared to $615.5 million as of January 2, 2026. In May, the Company proactively amended its credit agreement to provide additional financial flexibility, including the expansion of the net leverage covenant to 5.0x, compared to the prior 4.5x. As of July 3, 2026, the Company’s net leverage ratio calculated under the credit agreement was 3.7x in compliance with the applicable covenant levels. The increase in cash and cash equivalents was mainly due to proceeds from the divestiture of our AAG operations in Phoenix, Arizona, including the collection of principal on the related note receivable, and proceeds from asset sales, partially offset by changes in working capital, debt repayments, capital expenditures, and debt modification costs. Inventory decreased by $5.7 million from January 2, 2026, driven by divested inventory, partially offset by an inventory build to support second half demand. Days inventory on hand improved to approximately 136 days from approximately 150 days in the prior year period. The increase in accounts receivable is due to timing of collections. The decrease in accounts payable reflects the timing of vendor payments. The increase in prepaids and other current assets is mainly attributable to receivables arising from the divestiture of our Phoenix, Arizona AAG operations. Progress on Phase 2 Profit Optimization Initiative Fox Factory continues to execute its multi-phase profit optimization strategy targeting approximately $50 million of gross realized savings in fiscal 2026. In the first six months of fiscal 2026, the Company captured more than $25 million of gross savings, a portion of which was offset by external cost increases, including tariffs, freight, commodities and fuel. The Company expects those external costs to remain elevated and has reflected an incremental amount beyond its original plan in its second half outlook. Phase 2 focuses on three strategic elements: business line rationalization to exit operations that are not accretive from a margin perspective; supply chain and materials cost productivity improvements; and reduction in operating expenses across sales, marketing, and G&A functions. The Company continues to evaluate strategic alternatives for other non-core assets to ensure alignment with profitability standards and strategic objectives. Outlook For the third quarter of fiscal 2026, the Company expects: Net sales in the range of $355 million to $380 million; and Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $46 million to $54 million. For the fiscal year 2026, the Company is raising its net sales guidance and narrowing its adjusted EBITDA guidance: Net sales in the range of $1.42 billion to $1.47 billion; and Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $176 million to $196 million. Guidance for the third quarter and the full fiscal year assumes that commodity, freight and fuel costs remain at or near current elevated levels for the balance of the year. In addition, guidance absorbs nearly $20 million of incremental input cost inflation beyond the Company’s original fiscal 2026 plan. Guidance also assumes that availability of Ford F-150 chassis for the Company’s upfit businesses remains constrained. The Company may become eligible to recover as much as $8 million of additional tariff costs previously incurred under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) framework. Any such recoveries are subject to significant uncertainty regarding timing and amount, and a portion of any amounts recovered may be shared with the Company’s commercial counterparties. The Company has not included any potential recovery in its outlook and will recognize amounts only upon receipt. A quantitative reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter and full fiscal year 2026 is not available without unreasonable efforts because management cannot predict, with sufficient certainty, all of the elements necessary to provide such a reconciliation. For the same reasons, the Company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could be material to future results.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures In addition to reporting financial measures in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States (“U.S.”), FOX includes in this press release certain non-GAAP financial measures consisting of “adjusted operating expense,” “adjusted operating expense margin”, “adjusted net income,” “adjusted earnings per share,” “adjusted EBITDA,” and “adjusted EBITDA margin,” all of which are non-GAAP financial measures. FOX defines adjusted operating expense as operating expense adjusted for amortization of purchased intangibles, goodwill impairment, litigation and settlement-related expenses, acquisition and integration-related expenses, organizational restructuring expenses, and certain strategic transformation costs. FOX defines adjusted operating expense margin as adjusted operating expense divided by net sales. FOX defines adjusted net income as net income (loss) attributable to FOX stockholders adjusted for amortization of purchased intangibles, goodwill impairment, litigation and settlement-related expenses, acquisition and integration-related expenses, organizational restructuring expenses, loss on divestiture, and strategic transformation costs, all net of applicable tax. Adjusted earnings per share is defined as adjusted net income divided by the weighted average number of basic or diluted shares of common stock outstanding during the period. FOX defines adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) adjusted for interest expense, net other expense, income taxes or tax benefits, amortization of purchased intangibles, goodwill impairment, depreciation, stock-based compensation, litigation and settlement related expenses, organizational restructuring expenses, acquisition and integration-related expenses, loss on divestiture, and strategic transformation costs that are more fully described in the tables included at the end of this press release. Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales. These adjustments are more fully described in the tables included at the end of this press release. FOX includes these non-GAAP financial measures to provide investors with additional insight on the Company’s operating performance and trends, as well as to supplement their understanding of the results of the Company’s core operations. In particular, the exclusion of certain items in calculating the non-GAAP financial measures consisting of adjusted operating expense, adjusted net income and adjusted EBITDA (and accordingly, adjusted operating expense margin, adjusted earnings per diluted share and adjusted EBITDA margin) can provide a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of the Company’s core business. These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, including the fact that such non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies because other companies may calculate adjusted operating expense, adjusted operating expense margin, adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per diluted share, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin differently than FOX does. For more information regarding these non-GAAP financial measures, see the tables included at the end of this press release. FOX FACTORY HOLDING CORP.

The market expects Fox Factory Holding (FOXF) to deliver a year-over-year decline in earnings on lower revenues when it reports results for the quarter ended June 2026. This widely-known consensus outlook is important in assessing the company's earnings picture, but a powerful factor that might influence its near-term stock price is how the actual results compare to these estimates. The stock might move higher if these key numbers top expectations in the upcoming earnings report, which is expected to be released on August 6. On the other hand, if they miss, the stock may move lower. While management's discussion of business conditions on the earnings call will mostly determine the sustainability of the immediate price change and future earnings expectations, it's worth having a handicapping insight into the odds of a positive EPS surprise. This vehicle suspension maker is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.16 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -60%. Revenues are expected to be $353.07 million, down 5.8% from the year-ago quarter. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days. This is essentially a reflection of how the covering analysts have collectively reassessed their initial estimates over this period. Investors should keep in mind that the direction of estimate revisions by each of the covering analysts may not always get reflected in the aggregate change. Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise Estimate revisions ahead of a company's earnings release offer clues to the business conditions for the period whose results are coming out. This insight is at the core of our proprietary surprise prediction model -- the Zacks Earnings ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction). The Zacks Earnings ESP compares the Most Accurate Estimate to the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter; the Most Accurate Estimate is a more recent version of the Zacks Consensus EPS estimate. The idea here is that analysts revising their estimates right before an earnings release have the latest information, which could potentially be more accurate than what they and others contributing to the consensus had predicted earlier. Thus, a positive or negative Earnings ESP reading theoretically indicates the likely deviation of the actual earnings from the consensus estimate. However, the model's predictive power is significant for positive ESP readings only. A positive Earnings ESP is a strong predictor of an earnings beat, particularly when combined with a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold). Our research shows that stocks with this combination produce a positive surprise nearly 70% of the time, and a solid Zacks Rank actually increases the predictive power of Earnings ESP. Please note that a negative Earnings ESP reading is not indicative of an earnings miss. Our research shows that it is difficult to predict an earnings beat with any degree of confidence for stocks with negative Earnings ESP readings and/or Zacks Rank of 4 (Sell) or 5 (Strong Sell). For Fox Factory Holding, the Most Accurate Estimate is higher than the Zacks Consensus Estimate, suggesting that analysts have recently become bullish on the company's earnings prospects. This has resulted in an Earnings ESP of +6.25%. On the other hand, the stock currently carries a Zacks Rank of #4. So, this combination makes it difficult to conclusively predict that Fox Factory Holding will beat the consensus EPS estimate. Analysts often consider to what extent a company has been able to match consensus estimates in the past while calculating their estimates for its future earnings. So, it's worth taking a look at the surprise history for gauging its influence on the upcoming number. For the last reported quarter, it was expected that Fox Factory Holding would post earnings of $0.09 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.18, delivering a surprise of +100.00%. Over the last four quarters, the company has beaten consensus EPS estimates two times. An earnings beat or miss may not be the sole basis for a stock moving higher or lower. Many stocks end up losing ground despite an earnings beat due to other factors that disappoint investors. Similarly, unforeseen catalysts help a number of stocks gain despite an earnings miss. That said, betting on stocks that are expected to beat earnings expectations does increase the odds of success. This is why it's worth checking a company's Earnings ESP and Zacks Rank ahead of its quarterly release. Make sure to utilize our Earnings ESP Filter to uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they've reported. Fox Factory Holding doesn't appear a compelling earnings-beat candidate. However, investors should pay attention to other factors too for betting on this stock or staying away from it ahead of its earnings release. Among the stocks in the Zacks Automotive - Domestic industry, Lucid Group (LCID), is soon expected to post loss of $3.12 per share for the quarter ended June 2026. This estimate indicates a year-over-year change of -11.4%. This quarter's revenue is expected to be $323.31 million, up 24.6% from the year-ago quarter. Over the last 30 days, the consensus EPS estimate for Lucid Group has been revised 11.8% down to the current level. Nevertheless, the company now has an Earnings ESP of 0.00%, reflecting an equal Most Accurate Estimate. When combined with a Zacks Rank of #4 (Sell), this Earnings ESP makes it difficult to conclusively predict that Lucid Group will beat the consensus EPS estimate. The company could not beat consensus EPS estimates in any of the last four quarters. Stay on top of upcoming earnings announcements with the Zacks Earnings Calendar.
