Griffon Corporation reported a revenue increase of 3% for the first quarter of fiscal 2026, totaling $649.1 million, compared to $632.4 million in the same period last year. The growth was driven by both its Home and Building Products (HBP) and Consumer and Professional Products (CPP) segments, which saw revenues of $408.0 million and $241.1 million, respectively. However, net income decreased to $64.4 million, or $1.41 per share, down from $70.9 million, or $1.49 per share, in the prior year. The decline in profitability was attributed to several factors, including a loss from debt extinguishment and the impact of retirement plan events.
In terms of operational changes, Griffon announced a joint venture with ONCAP, a mid-market private equity platform, to create a global provider of hand tools and home organization solutions. This joint venture will combine Griffon’s AMES Companies with several brands from Venanpri, and is expected to close by June 2026. Additionally, the company is conducting a strategic review of its AMES Australia and UK operations, which will be reported as discontinued operations starting in the second quarter of 2026.
Griffon’s total assets as of December 31, 2025, were $2.05 billion, a slight decrease from $2.06 billion at the end of the previous quarter. Current liabilities increased to $341.8 million from $334.6 million, while total liabilities decreased to $1.95 billion from $1.99 billion. The company’s shareholders' equity rose significantly to $108.9 million, up from $74.0 million, reflecting improved financial health.
The company’s cash flow from operating activities was $107.0 million for the quarter, down from $142.9 million in the prior year, primarily due to changes in working capital. Cash used in investing activities increased to $7.7 million, mainly for capital expenditures, while cash used in financing activities totaled $101.6 million, which included share repurchases and debt repayments. As of December 31, 2025, Griffon had cash and equivalents of $95.3 million and no outstanding borrowings under its $500 million revolving credit facility.
Looking ahead, Griffon remains focused on maintaining its market positions and exploring growth opportunities through strategic acquisitions and partnerships. The company anticipates that the joint venture will enhance its competitive edge in the hand tools and home organization markets, while the ongoing review of its international operations aims to streamline its business structure and improve overall efficiency.
