Bel Reports Second Quarter and First Half 2026 Results

Bel Reports Second Quarter and First Half 2026 Results WEST ORANGE, N.J., July 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bel Fuse Inc. (Nasdaq: BELFA and BELFB) today announced preliminary financial results for the second quarter and first half of 2026.

Second Quarter 2026 Highlights

Farouq Tuweiq, President and CEO of Bel, said, “We delivered a very strong second quarter, with sales and gross margin toward the high end of our estimated ranges, driven by defense and data solutions demand and continued distribution recovery. The quarter also included several operational milestones: DataMate completed its facility transition and ERP conversion, and our Slovakia site achieved defense-manufacturer qualification to support the Enercon integration and European expansion. In addition, the team completed an equity offering, raising net proceeds of $441.6 million to pay down debt and support the remaining 20% of Enercon in early 2027, as well as future M&A and growth initiatives.”

“Bookings remained healthy, and assuming the continuation of current market conditions, we expect third-quarter 2026 sales of $205 million to $225 million and gross margin of 39% to 41%. We’re encouraged by the momentum in our end markets and believe our expanded European footprint and strong balance sheet position Bel to accelerate growth in the quarters ahead,” concluded Mr. Tuweiq.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Non-GAAP financial measures identified in this press release as well as in the supplementary information to this press release (Non-GAAP net earnings attributable to Bel shareholders, Non-GAAP EPS, Non-GAAP Operating Income and Adjusted EBITDA) are not measures of performance under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). These measures should not be considered a substitute for, and the reader should also consider, income from operations, net earnings, earnings per share and other measures of performance as defined by GAAP as indicators of our performance or profitability. Our non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to other similarly-titled captions of other companies due to differences in the method of calculation. We present results adjusted to exclude the effects of certain unusual or special items and their related tax impact that would otherwise be included under U.S. GAAP, to aid in comparisons with other periods. We believe that these non-GAAP measures of financial results provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to our financial condition and results of operations. We use these non-GAAP measures to compare the Company’s performance to that of prior periods for trend analysis and for budgeting and planning purposes. We also believe that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing the Company’s financial measures with other similarly situated companies in our industry, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. Non-GAAP financial measures, such as Non-GAAP net earnings attributable to Bel shareholders, Non-GAAP EPS, Non-GAAP Operating Income and Adjusted EBITDA, adjust corresponding GAAP measures for provision for income taxes, other income/expense, net, interest income/expense, and depreciation and amortization, and also exclude, where applicable for the covered period presented in the financial statements, certain unusual or special items identified by management such as stock-based compensation, amortization of intangibles (which primarily related to the amortization of finite-lived customer relationships and technology associated with the company's historical acquisitions), unrealized foreign currency exchange (gains) losses, restructuring charges (credits), gains/losses on sales of businesses and properties, acquisition related costs (for proposed or completed transactions), earnout liability adjustments, impairment charges, noncontrolling interest ("NCI") adjustments from fair value to redemption value, write-off of deferred financing costs, and certain litigation costs. Please refer to the financial information included with this press release for reconciliations of GAAP financial measures to Non-GAAP financial measures and our explanation of why we present Non-GAAP financial measures.
