"Our second quarter results reflect positive core growth and continued execution against the strategic priorities we outlined earlier this year, with three of our four business segments delivering year-over-year core growth," said Matthew Stevenson, President and Chief Executive Officer of Holley.

Stevenson continued, "We believe we are entering the second half of the year with solid momentum, supported by new national retailer placements, a healthy cadence of product innovation, and several important launches slated for the coming months. At the same time, we have reinvigorated our marketing calendar with a greater focus on brand activation and enthusiast engagement, helping to strengthen awareness and demand across our portfolio.

"During the quarter we completed the sale of our non-core Restoration brands, including Scott Drake and Brothers Trucks, a step that further reduces complexity and enables us to concentrate resources on our highest-priority growth opportunities. We remain focused on disciplined execution and believe the actions we have taken position Holley for continued progress in the periods ahead."

Jesse Weaver, Chief Financial Officer of Holley, added, "The second quarter showcased our continued focus on cash generation, balance sheet improvement, and disciplined capital allocation. Our underlying operating performance was stronger than the year-over-year Adjusted EBITDA comparison suggests: the prior-year quarter included a one-time, non-cash benefit from the capitalization of tariff costs that did not repeat this year, and adjusted for that item, we believe Adjusted EBITDA performance was approximately flat year-over-year. We generated strong free cash flow in the quarter and year-to-date, which enabled us to continue making progress on our capital priorities.

"During the quarter, we repurchased approximately $2.0 million of our common stock, reflecting our confidence in the long-term value of the business. Following a $15.0 million voluntary debt prepayment made after quarter-end, we have now reduced debt by $115.0 million through voluntary prepayments since September 2023. Combined with our strong cash generation, these actions contributed to another quarter of leverage reduction helping us maintain progress towards finishing the year below our targeted leverage ratio of 3.5x.

"Based on our first-half performance and the opportunities we see in the second half of the year, we are reiterating our full-year guidance and remain focused on delivering sustainable value for our shareholders."

Strategic Business Highlights and Recent Events

   -- 27 brands delivered growth across DTC and B2B channels. 
 
   -- Generated $40.9 million of free cash flow and remain on track for 
      year-end leverage below 3.5x. 
 
   -- Long Term Strategic initiatives drove $13.4 million in revenue and 
      delivered $8.3 million in cost savings. 
 
   -- Realigned marketing to strengthen consumer engagement and brand 
      activation. 
 
   -- Repurchased $2.0 million of shares, reinforcing confidence in our 
      long-term value creation. 
 
   -- Continued portfolio rebalancing through the divestiture of the non-core 
      Restoration brands. 
 
   -- Reduced debt by an additional $15.0 million, bringing total debt 
      reduction to $115.0 million since September 2023. 
 
   -- Well positioned for H2 2026 with new retail placements and a strong 
      product launch pipeline.

* Holley is not providing reconciliations of forward-looking full year 2026 Adjusted EBITDA outlook because certain information necessary to calculate the most comparable GAAP measure, net income, is unavailable due to the uncertainty and inherent difficulty of predicting the occurrence and the future financial statement impact of certain items. Therefore, as a result of the uncertainty and variability of the nature and amount of future adjustments, which could be significant, Holley is unable to provide these forward-looking reconciliations without unreasonable effort. Accordingly, Holley is relying on the exception provided by Item 10(e)(1)(i)$(B)$ of Regulation S-K to exclude these reconciliations.

Holley notes that its outlook for the year-ending December 31, 2026 may vary due to changes in assumptions or market conditions and other factors described below under "Forward-Looking Statements."

We present certain information with respect to EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Credit Agreement Total Leverage Ratio (the "Leverage Ratio"), Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS and Free Cash Flow as supplemental measures of our operating performance and believe that such non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors in evaluating our financial performance and in comparing our financial results between periods because they exclude the impact of certain items that we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance. We believe that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures enhances the usefulness of our financial information by presenting measures that management uses internally to establish forecasts, budgets, and operational goals to manage and monitor our business. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures help to depict a more realistic representation of the performance of our underlying business, enabling us to evaluate and plan more effectively for the future.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, the Leverage Ratio, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS and Free Cash Flow are not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and may be different from non-GAAP and other financial measures used by other companies. These measures should not be considered as measures of financial performance under GAAP, and the items excluded from or included in these metrics are significant components in understanding and assessing our financial performance. These metrics should not be considered as alternatives to net income, gross profit, net cash provided by operating activities, or any other performance measures, as applicable, derived in accordance with GAAP.

We define EBITDA as earnings before depreciation, amortization of intangible assets, interest expense, and income tax expense. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA adjusted to exclude, to the extent applicable, restructuring costs, which includes operational restructuring and integration activities, termination related benefits, facilities relocation, and executive transition costs; changes in the fair value of the warrant liability; changes in the fair value of the earn-out liability; equity-based compensation expense; gain or loss on the early extinguishment of debt; notable items that we do not believe are reflective of our underlying operating performance, including litigation settlements and certain costs incurred for advisory services related to identifying performance initiatives; and other expenses or gains, which includes gains or losses from disposal of fixed assets, franchise taxes, and gains or losses from foreign currency transactions. In addition, beginning with the quarter ended June 28, 2026, we have excluded from Adjusted EBITDA as a notable item any tariff refund income received in the quarter, as the refunds are non-recurring in nature for tariff costs incurred in the past and are not reflective of our ongoing performance. We define Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales.

We define Adjusted Net Income as earnings excluding the effect of changes in the fair value of the warrant liability, changes in the fair value of the earn-out liability, loss on sale of assets, and gain or loss on the early extinguishment of debt. We define Adjusted Diluted EPS as Adjusted Net Income on a per share basis. Management uses these measures to focus on on-going operations and believes that it is useful to investors because it enables them to perform meaningful comparisons of past and present consolidated operating results. We believe that using this information, along with net income and net income per diluted share, provides for a more complete analysis of the results of operations.

We define Free Cash Flow as net cash provided by operating activities minus cash payments for capital expenditures, net of fixed asset dispositions not related to brand divestitures. Management believes providing Free Cash Flow is useful for investors to understand our performance and results of cash generation after making capital investments required to support ongoing business operations.
