HAMILTON BEACH BRANDS HOLDING COMPANY ANNOUNCES THIRD QUARTER 2025 RESULTS
Third Quarter Financial Performance: Hamilton Beach Brands reported a 15.2% decline in revenue to $132.8 million and a decrease in gross margin to 21.1%, primarily due to the impact of a temporary 125% tariff on Chinese imports.
Operational Adjustments: The company experienced a sequential improvement in sales as retailer purchasing normalized after disruptions caused by tariffs, and it managed to absorb the peak tariff costs while balancing inventory.
Debt and Cash Flow: Net debt increased to $32.8 million from $22.5 million year-over-year, with net cash used for operating activities amounting to $14.6 million, a significant decline from the previous year.
Outlook and Market Conditions: Due to ongoing uncertainties from tariffs and economic conditions, the company has opted not to provide specific guidance on its business outlook, although it anticipates potential recovery in sales and margins.
