Fox Factory (NASDAQ:FOXF – Get Free Report) issued its quarterly earnings data on Thursday. The company reported $0.37 EPS for the quarter, topping the consensus estimate of $0.18 by $0.19, Zacks reports. The firm had revenue of $358.12 million for the quarter, compared to analyst estimates of $352.94 million. Fox Factory had a negative net margin of 20.39% and a positive return on equity of 5.39%. The business’s revenue for the quarter was down 4.5% compared to the same quarter last year. During the same period in the prior year, the business posted $0.40 EPS.
Here are the key takeaways from Fox Factory’s conference call:
- Raised full-year revenue guidance to $1.42 billion-$1.47 billion and narrowed adjusted EBITDA guidance to $176 million-$196 million, despite roughly $20 million of incremental input-cost inflation versus the original plan.
- The profit-optimization program remains on track, with more than $25 million of gross savings captured in the first half toward the approximately $50 million 2026 target; lower operating expenses and improved working capital also supported sequential margin expansion.
- Elevated steel and aluminum, freight, fuel, tariffs, and supply-chain costs continue to pressure profitability, while aluminum shortages affecting Ford F-150 production and Toyota production cuts constrained automotive-related volumes.
- Powersports revenue grew 22.5% year over year in the quarter, while new vehicle awards, including an autonomous EV program and expanded Live Valve applications, are expected to contribute meaningful volume beginning in late 2026 and into 2027-2028.
- Bike demand is stabilizing but management expects the business to be roughly flat year over year, while Marucci is relying on delayed bat launches, softball growth, and inventory cleanup to improve second-half performance.
