Operational execution drives strong quarter; Company raises full year guidance
Interface, Inc. (Nasdaq: TILE), the global flooring and sustainability leader, today announced results for the second quarter ended July 5, 2026.
Second quarter highlights (all comparisons are year-over-year):
- Net sales totaled $396 million, up 5.4% and up 3.8% currency neutral
- Gross profit margin increased 560 basis points; adjusted gross profit margin increased 524 basis points
- Adjusted gross profit margin benefitted from 131 basis points of operational improvement, driven by strong execution, and 393 basis points from $15.6 million of IEEPA tariff refunds
- Continued execution of the One Interface strategy further strengthened the Company’s competitive position and long-term growth profile
“We delivered strong second quarter results, reflecting continued momentum and disciplined execution across the business,” commented Laurel Hurd, CEO of Interface. “This growth was broad-based across all regions and product categories, underscoring the strength of our diversified portfolio and the benefits of our One Interface strategy. Performance was led by Healthcare, with global billings up 19%, while Education and Corporate Office billings both increased by 5%.”
“Higher sales volumes, proactive pricing actions, favorable mix, and manufacturing efficiencies drove robust margin expansion and earnings growth in the quarter, which was further enhanced by IEEPA tariff refunds,” added Bruce Hausmann, CFO of Interface. “We are raising our full year guidance based on strong first half performance and a robust backlog supporting continued momentum. With a healthy balance sheet, we remain well positioned to execute disciplined capital allocation, drive sustainable growth and deliver long-term shareholder value.”
