I want to thank our teams for their ongoing dedication as we work to address the heightened demand across many areas of our business.”

Net Sales increased 67% to a record $60.9 million, driven by strong snow and ice product demand, plus a full quarter of sales from Venco Venturo, which was acquired in November 2025.
●
Adjusted EBITDA increased materially to $7.7 million.
●
Above average snowfall across core markets in the Northeast and Midwest during the first quarter led to a surge in demand. Dedicated execution from our team delivered record shipments of parts and accessories.
Van Genderen explained, “Our core markets experienced the heaviest snowfall in a decade this past winter, with snowfall totals approximately 25% above the 10-year average. The snowfall-driven strength of parts and accessories sales carried into the first quarter, and we are now focused on ensuring that the pre-season orders we’re currently taking for all our products are efficiently delivered to dealers in the second and third quarters of this year.”

●

Van Genderen stated, “Our municipal operations continue to deliver solid performance, allowing the Solutions segment to produce record bottom line results again this quarter, coupled with near record Net Sales. This impressive achievement offset slightly softer demand in certain commercial business segments.”

Dividend & Liquidity
●
Returned approximately $10.1 million of cash to shareholders through the payment of a quarterly cash dividend of $0.295 per diluted share, and the repurchase of approximately 70,000 shares of company stock.
●
Net cash used in operating activities of $1.0 million was in line with the prior year, primarily due to improved earnings offset by working capital changes within the quarter.
2026 Outlook
Sarah Lauber, Executive Vice President and CFO, noted, “The business trends we experienced in 2025 largely carried over into the first quarter of 2026, helping to drive record results. Winter weather supported increased demand at Attachments, particularly for parts and accessories. Despite a challenging comparison against last year’s record financials, the Solutions segment delivered excellent overall results again. Looking forward, we expect moderation on the commercial side due to economic uncertainty and continued positive momentum in our municipal operations.”
Lauber continued, “Taking these factors into account, we are raising our strong guidance ranges for the year. This momentum reinforces our belief in the power of our market leading brands and our 2026 growth trajectory, driving our ability to deliver long-term value for stakeholders.”

The 2026 outlook assumes relatively stable economic and supply chain conditions, that pre-season orders are expected to be shipped approximately equally between the second and third quarters, and that core markets will experience average snowfall in the fourth quarter of 2026.
With respect to the Company’s 2026 financial outlook, the Company is not able to provide a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP because it does not provide specific guidance for the various extraordinary, nonrecurring, or unusual charges and other certain items. These items have not yet occurred, are out of the Company’s control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted. As a result, reconciliation of the non-GAAP guidance measures to GAAP is not available without unreasonable effort and the Company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information.

About Douglas Dynamics
Home to the most trusted brands in the industry, Douglas Dynamics is North America’s premier manufacturer and up-fitter of commercial work truck attachments and equipment. For more than 75 years, the Company has been innovating products that not only enable people to perform their jobs more efficiently and effectively, but also enable businesses to increase profitability. Through its proprietary Douglas Dynamics Management System (DDMS), the Company is committed to continuous improvement aimed at consistently producing the highest quality products, at industry-leading levels of service and delivery that ultimately drive shareholder value. The Douglas Dynamics portfolio of products and services is separated into two segments: First, the Work Truck Attachments segment, which includes commercial snow and ice control equipment sold under the FISHER®, SNOWEX® and WESTERN® brands, and truck mounted cranes and dump hoists sold under the VENCO VENTURO brands. Second, the Work Truck Solutions segment, which includes the up-fit of market leading attachments and storage solutions under the HENDERSON® brand, and the DEJANA® brand and its related sub-brands.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains financial information calculated other than in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). The non-GAAP measures used in this press release are Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Share (EPS), and Free Cash Flow. The Company believes that these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors and other external users of its consolidated financial statements in evaluating the Company’s operating performance as compared to that of other companies. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the nearest comparable GAAP measures can be found immediately following the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows included in this press release.
Adjusted EBITDA represents net income before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, as further adjusted for certain charges consisting of unrelated legal and consulting fees, stock-based compensation, severance, restructuring charges, acquisition costs, inventory step up related to Venco Venturo, CEO transition costs, debt modification expense, and loss on extinguishment of debt. The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA in evaluating the Company’s operating performance because it provides the Company and its investors with additional tools to compare its operating performance on a consistent basis by removing the impact of certain items that management believes do not directly reflect the Company’s core operations. The Company’s management also uses Adjusted EBITDA for planning purposes, including the preparation of its annual operating budget and financial projections, and to evaluate the Company’s ability to make certain payments, including dividends, in compliance with its senior credit facilities, which is determined based on a calculation of “Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA” that is substantially similar to Adjusted EBITDA.
Douglas Dynamics – First Quarter 2026
Page 5
Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Share (calculated on a diluted basis) represents net income and earnings per share (as defined by GAAP), excluding the impact of stock based compensation, severance, restructuring charges, acquisition costs, inventory step up related to Venco Venturo, CEO transition costs, debt modification expense, loss on extinguishment of debt, and certain charges related to unrelated legal fees and consulting fees. Management believes that Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Share are useful in assessing the Company’s financial performance by eliminating expenses and income that are not reflective of the underlying business performance.
Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP financial measure that we define as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less the acquisition of property and equipment. Free Cash Flow should be evaluated in addition to, and not considered a substitute for, other financial measures such as Net Income and Net Cash Provided By (Used in) Operating Activities. We believe that free cash flow represents our ability to generate additional cash flow from our business operations.
