Dorel Juvenile reports solid second quarter results supported by international market strength
Dorel Home further reduces overhead structure focusing on the profitable Cosco division

MONTRÉAL, Aug. 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Dorel Industries Inc. (TSX: DII.B, DII.A) today announced its financial results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2026.

Second quarter revenue was US$249.5 million, compared to US$292.4 million, a decrease of 14.7% from the same period a year ago. Reported net loss was US$42.5 million or US$1.23 per diluted share, compared to US$44.9 million or US$1.38 per diluted share last year. Adjusted net loss¹ was US$23.5 million or US$0.68 per diluted share compared to US$21.1 million or US$0.65 per diluted share last year.
 
Revenue for the six months was US$517.3 million, compared to US$612.8 million, down 15.6% from the prior year. Reported net loss was US$67.4 million or US$1.96 per diluted share, compared to US$70.2 million or US$2.15 per diluted share a year ago. Adjusted net loss¹for the six months was US$45.8 million or US$1.33 per diluted share, compared to US$44.8 million or US$1.37 per diluted share last year.

“Dorel Juvenile delivered a resilient second quarter, supported by strong international performance and continued momentum in its premium brands. The segment continued to improve underlying operating performance, with growth across several key international markets, despite aggressive promotional activity by direct competitors in the United States affecting sales. Ongoing investment in innovation, consumer engagement and commercial execution continues to reinforce Dorel Juvenile’s ability to navigate market challenges while strengthening its foundation for long-term profitable growth,” stated Dorel President & CEO, Martin Schwartz.

“As announced with our first quarter results, Dorel Home required a further reduction in its overhead structure. During the quarter, we advanced a new business model centred on Cosco product categories. In addition, our European furniture distribution company, Notio, will continue to supply key large retailers with select furniture SKUs. Although this transition resulted in a reduction in revenue in the quarter, we are very pleased that the Cosco business performed in line with expectations and was profitable under the new operating model,” added Mr. Schwartz.

Second quarter revenue was US$209.7 million, a decrease of 3.9% versus last year. Organic revenue¹ decreased by 6.8%, after removing the impact of varying foreign exchange rates year-over-year. In the U.S. the main driver of the revenue decline was primarily due to aggressive discounting by market competition, which impacted order levels for Dorel. This revenue decline was partially offset by the double-digit revenue improvements in Australia, Brazil, Export markets and Canada which was across most brands and product categories. Year-to-date segment revenue was US$432.4 million compared to US$433.9 million in the prior year, representing a decrease of 0.3%. The year-to-date organic revenue¹ decrease was approximately 4.7%. As for the quarter, the cause of the decrease was the U.S. market.

Adjusted operating profit¹ for the quarter was US$5.1 million, US$2.7 million lower than the prior year. However, underlying operating performance continued to improve during the quarter as the prior year’s results included a significant benefit from foreign exchange gains. Excluding foreign exchange variations year-over-year, adjusted operating profit¹ for the quarter improved by approximately US$4.0 million. The revenue growth in smaller markets translated into strong earnings contributions with Brazil, Australia, Canada and Export markets adjusted operating profit¹ increasing by a combined 62% versus prior year. Year-to-date adjusted operating profit¹ was US$10.4 million, a decrease of US$1.7 million or 13.8% versus prior year. As for the quarter, excluding foreign exchange variations, adjusted operating profit¹ year-to-date improved by approximately US$7.9 million.

Second quarter revenue was US$39.8 million, a decrease of US$34.5 million, or 46.4%, from US$74.3 million last year. The decision to exit certain product categories and channels of distribution was the main driver of the decline. The adjusted operating loss¹ for the quarter was US$6.5 million, compared to US$12.7 million in the same period last year. Six-month revenue was US$84.9 million, a decrease of US$94.0 million, or 52.6%, from US$178.9 million last year. Year-to-date adjusted operating loss¹ was US$11.4 million versus US$23.9 million in the prior year. While a significant year-over-year improvement, the impact from the lower sales volume outweighed the benefit of a lower cost structure that was part of the prior years’ restructuring program.

The combination of softer consumer demand, industry-wide pricing pressure, tariffs and liquidity constraints experienced in 2025 accelerated the need for further change. In response, the Company initiated additional actions to restructure and stabilize Dorel Home. The plan is focused on preserving liquidity, reducing fixed costs, simplifying the organization and rebuilding the segment around its most viable businesses, including:

the Cosco branded product line, including step stools, ladders, hand trucks and folding furniture;
youth furniture, integrated within the Dorel Juvenile platform; and
Notio, Dorel’s Europe-based furniture operations, complemented by select furniture items to be sold in North America.

Second-quarter results reflect this transition to a Cosco-focused business, with that product line accounting for approximately 88% of North American sales. The Cosco business model relies heavily on direct shipment sales to major retailers and eliminates the need for a substantial distribution footprint and will facilitate further reductions in warehouse space. However, despite much lower operating costs than prior year, excess warehousing space and the write-down of non-go forward inventories were the principal cause of losses in the quarter.

Restructuring

As a result of this decision, the Home segment second quarter results include non-cash restructuring costs of US$17.4 million primarily for the write-down of inventory and impairment on right-of-use assets. The write-down of inventory reflects the objective of aggressively moving items that are not part of the future business, allowing for the exit of excess distribution facilities. Headcount reductions continued in the quarter and in addition to the amounts recorded in the Home segment, the Juvenile segment eliminated certain positions, part of which was a result of the further merging of functions between the two segments. As a result, Juvenile results include restructuring costs of US$1.5 million primarily for severance.

Outlook

“Dorel Juvenile enters the second half of 2026 confident in its strategic priorities and the strength of its global platform. Building on solid performance in key international markets, the Company expects improved earnings in both the U.S. and Europe, supported by new product launches beginning in the fourth quarter of this year. As an early indicator, U.S. sales improved in July, and we expect that trend to continue. Dorel Juvenile remains focused on sustainable, profitable growth while further strengthening its position as a global leader in juvenile products,” commented Mr. Schwartz.

“Dorel Home remains focused on executing its transformation strategy and building a simpler, more agile and financially sustainable business. Supported by the continued profitability of Cosco and a stable European operation expected to contribute positively to earnings, the Company is focused on eliminating legacy costs and scaling its most profitable platforms,” concluded Mr. Schwartz.

Definition and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Ratios and Measures

Dorel presents in this press release certain non-GAAP financial ratios and measures, as described below. These non-GAAP financial ratios and measures do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and therefore are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. These non-GAAP financial ratios and measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for a measure prepared in accordance with IFRS. Contained within this press release are reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial ratios and measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with IFRS.

Dorel believes that the non-GAAP financial ratios and measures used in this press release provide investors with additional information to analyze its results and to measure its financial performance by excluding the variation caused by certain items that Dorel believes do not reflect its core business performance and provides better comparability between the periods presented. Excluding these items does not imply they are necessarily non-recurring. The non-GAAP financial measures are also used by management to assess Dorel's financial performance and to make operating and strategic decisions.

Adjustments to non-GAAP financial ratios and measures
As noted above, certain of our non-GAAP financial measures and ratios exclude the variation caused by certain adjustments that affect the comparability of Dorel’s financial results and could potentially distort the analysis of trends in its business performance. Adjustments which impact more than one non-GAAP financial ratio and measure are explained below.

Restructuring costs
Restructuring costs are comprised of costs directly related to significant exit activities, including the sale of manufacturing facilities, closure of businesses, reorganization, optimization, transformation, and consolidation to improve the competitive position of the Company in the marketplace and to reduce costs and bring efficiencies, and acquisition-related costs in connection with business acquisitions. Restructuring costs are included as an adjustment of adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross margin, adjusted operating profit (loss), adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share. Restructuring costs were respectively US$19.0 million and US$21.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 (2025 – US$23.8 million and US$25.4 million). From this amount, restructuring costs recorded within cost of sales were respectively US$17.4 million and US$17.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 (2025 – US$13.3 million and US$13.6 million). Refer to the section “Restructuring costs” in the MD&A for more details.

Adjusted gross profit and adjusted gross margin
Adjusted gross profit is calculated as gross profit excluding the impact of restructuring costs. Adjusted gross margin is a non-GAAP ratio and is calculated as adjusted gross profit divided by revenue. Dorel uses adjusted gross profit and adjusted gross margin to measure its performance from one period to the next, without the variation caused by the impacts of the items described above. Dorel also uses adjusted gross profit and adjusted gross margin on a segment basis to measure its performance at the segment level. Dorel excludes this item because it affects the comparability of its financial results and could potentially distort the analysis of trends in its business performance. Certain investors and analysts use the adjusted gross profit and adjusted gross margin to measure the business performance of the Company as a whole and at the segment level from one period to the next, without the variation caused by the impact of the restructuring costs. Excluding this item does not imply it is necessarily non-recurring. These ratios and measures do not have any standardized meanings prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to a similar measure presented by other companies.

(1) This is a non-GAAP financial ratio and it is calculated as adjusted gross profit divided by revenue.

Adjusted operating profit (loss)
Adjusted operating profit (loss) is calculated as operating profit (loss) excluding the impact of restructuring costs. Adjusted operating profit (loss) also excludes impairment loss on goodwill. Management uses adjusted operating profit (loss) to measure its performance from one period to the next, without the variation caused by the impact of the items described above. Dorel also uses adjusted operating profit (loss) on a segment basis to measure its performance at the segment level. Dorel excludes these items because they affect the comparability of its financial results and could potentially distort the analysis of trends in its business performance. Certain investors and analysts use the adjusted operating profit (loss) to measure the business performance of the Company as a whole and at the segment level from one period to the next, without the variation caused by the impact of the restructuring costs and impairment loss on goodwill. Excluding these items does not imply they are necessarily non-recurring. This measure does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and is therefore unlikely to be comparable to a similar measure presented by other companies.

Adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share
Adjusted net income (loss) is calculated as net income (loss) excluding the impact of restructuring costs and impairment loss on goodwill, as well as income taxes expense (recovery) relating to the adjustments above. Adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share is a non-GAAP ratio and is calculated as adjusted net income (loss) divided by the weighted average number of diluted shares. Management uses adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share to measure its performance from one period to the next, without the variation caused by the impacts of the items described above. Dorel excludes these items because they affect the comparability of its financial results and could potentially distort the analysis of trends in its business performance.

(1) This is a non-GAAP financial ratio and it is calculated as adjusted net income (loss) divided by weighted average number of diluted shares.

Organic revenue growth (decline) and adjusted organic revenue growth (decline)
Organic revenue growth (decline) is calculated as revenue growth (decline) compared to the previous period, excluding the impact of varying foreign exchange rates. Adjusted organic revenue growth (decline) is calculated as revenue growth (decline) compared to the previous period, excluding the impact of varying foreign exchange rates and the impact of the acquired businesses for the first year of operation and the sale of divisions. Management uses organic revenue growth (decline) and adjusted organic revenue growth (decline) to measure its performance from one period to the next, without the variation caused by the impacts of the items described above. Dorel excludes these items because they affect the comparability of its financial results and could potentially distort the analysis of trends in its business performance.
