Declares Regular Quarterly Dividend
GARDEN CITY, N.Y., March 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Lifetime Brands, Inc. (NasdaqGS: LCUT), a leading global designer, developer and marketer of a broad range of branded consumer products used in the home, today reported its financial results for the quarter and full year ended December 31, 2025.
Rob Kay, Lifetime’s Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Our fourth quarter results reflect the culmination of several strategic decisions made earlier in the year, decisions that were not without short-term cost, but right for the business. We moved first on pricing to offset tariff headwinds, partnered closely with our customers to navigate a period of real disruption, and we took decisive action to reduce our cost structure. The results validated that approach: with operating profit for the quarter exceeding 2024 despite a more challenging top-line environment, strong full year adjusted EBITDA of $50.8 million, and a leaner organization that is better positioned than a year ago. The Dolly brand continues to exhibit strong sales growth with a 150% increase for the year, a positive reflection of where our strategy is gaining traction. Recovering sustainable growth remains the priority in 2026, and we enter the year with momentum, a proven playbook, and the confidence in our ability to deliver long-term value for our shareholders.”

These non-GAAP financial measures are provided because the Company’s management uses these financial measures in evaluating the Company’s on-going financial results and trends, and management believes that exclusion of certain items allows for more accurate period-to-period comparison of the Company’s operating performance by investors and analysts.

These non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed as a supplement to, and not a substitute for, GAAP financial measures of performance.
