Summary
Summary of the 8-K filed August 5, 2026. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.
SharkNinja, Inc. reported second-quarter 2026 net sales of $1,765.5 milliona, up 22.2% from $1,444.9 million a year earlier (21.6% on a constant currency basis).
Growth was led by Cooking and Beverage Appliances (up 36.5% to $499.0 millionb), Beauty and Home Environment Appliances (up 65.3% to $285.8 million) and Food Preparation Appliances (up 13.3% to $458.6 million). International net sales rose 36.6% to $623.6 million. Profitability was mixed: GAAP net income fell 7.0% to $129.8 million, or $0.92 per diluted share, while Adjusted Net Income rose 29.3% to $178.2 million and Adjusted Net Income per diluted share rose 29.9% to $1.26.
Adjusted EBITDA increased 18.6% to $264.9 millionc, or 15.0% of net sales. Gross margin declined 30 basis points to 48.7%, which the company attributed mainly to U.S. tariff costs, unfavorable foreign currency and increased retailer activations. General and administrative expenses rose 40.8%, driven by a $22.6 million increase in share-based compensation.
SharkNinja raised its fiscal 2026 outlook. Net sales growth is now expected at 16.0% to 17.0%, up from 11.5% to 12.5%. Adjusted Net Income per diluted share is expected at $6.45 to $6.55d, up from $6.00 to $6.10, and Adjusted EBITDA at $1,357 million to $1,369 million, up from $1,290 million to $1,300 million.
The company said the revision reflects stronger underlying operations plus an expected tariff refund benefit. It submitted refund claims of approximately $247.1 million through U.S. Customs and Border Protection, which accepted them, and expects to recognize that amount as a reduction of cost of sales in the third quarter of 2026. Refunds tied to 2025 tariffs will be excluded from Adjusted metrics, while refunds tied to 2026 tariffs will be reflected in them.
At June 30, 2026, the company held cash and cash equivalents of $779.8 million and total debt of $718.9 million, excluding unamortized deferred financing costs. Inventories rose 14.1% to $1,143.6 million from December 31, 2025.
During the six months ended June 30, 2026, SharkNinja repurchased 1,008,368 ordinary shares for $119.7 million under its $750.0 million repurchase program, at an average price of $118.71 per share. Net cash provided by operating activities was $275.5 million for the six months, compared with a use of $63.9 million a year earlier.

03—Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How much of the raised fiscal 2026 guidance comes from the tariff refund?
