Traeger (NYSE:COOK) Releases Earnings Results, Beats Expectations By $2.10 EPS

Traeger (NYSE:COOKGet Free Report) announced its quarterly earnings data on Wednesday. The company reported $0.53 earnings per share for the quarter, beating the consensus estimate of ($1.57) by $2.10, FiscalAI reports. The business had revenue of $120.16 million for the quarter, compared to analyst estimates of $133.20 million. Traeger had a negative net margin of 23.23% and a negative return on equity of 13.56%.

Here are the key takeaways from Traeger’s conference call:

  • Full-year revenue guidance was lowered to $435 million–$465 million from $465 million–$485 million, driven by greater-than-expected MEATER softness and near-term channel disruption related to distribution changes.
  • Traeger maintained its $57 million–$67 million Adjusted EBITDA outlook despite the lower revenue forecast, reflecting Project Gravity cost savings, MEATER profitability actions, and disciplined expense management.
  • Traeger announced a national Lowe’s launch, with initial inventory loading expected in the fourth quarter and a full rollout of grills, griddles, accessories, and consumables planned for spring 2027; management views the partnership as a meaningful long-term household acquisition opportunity.
  • Project Gravity is improving financial efficiency, with second-quarter free cash flow of $26 million, cash increasing to $60 million, inventory falling to $76 million, and the company remaining on track for at least $30 million of full-year free cash flow.
  • Consumer engagement remained strong, including a record 267,000 connected cooks on July 4, while Westwood and Irontop saw better-than-expected sell-through and strong customer reviews as demand shifts toward more accessible price points.
