Mohawk Industries: Q2 Earnings Snapshot
Mohawk said higher volume, pricing and tariff refunds lifted quarterly profit, while it launched projects aimed at cutting costs by about $60 million.
On Friday, July 31, 2026, Mohawk Industries reported second-quarter 2026 net sales of $3.0 billion, with diluted earnings per share reaching $3.22, exceeding market expectations.
Chairman and CEO Jeff Lorberbaum attributed the performance to volume growth, pricing, and product mix, while results included an approximate $0.63 benefit from tariff refunds not in prior guidance.
Operating income rose to $253.7 million from $188.7 million year-over-year; free cash flow improved to $228.2 million from $126.1 million, while the company repurchased over 600,000 shares for approximately $60 million.
Management initiated new projects targeting approximately $60 million in cost reductions by end-2027 through warehouse consolidation and organizational realignment, though higher input costs are expected to pressure margins in the second half.
President and Chief Operating Officer Paul De Cock will assume the Chief Executive Officer role effective September 30, 2026, as Lorberbaum remains Chairman; third-quarter adjusted earnings per share guidance ranges $2.50 to $2.60.
