WD-40 Company, a global marketing organization dedicated to creating positive lasting memories by developing and selling products that solve problems, today reported financial results for its second fiscal quarter ended February 28, 2026. The company saw strong growth in maintenance product sales, which increased 13% compared to the prior year quarter, and non-GAAP earnings per share rose 14% year-over-year.

Why it matters

WD-40's core maintenance product lines continue to drive the company's performance, with robust growth in the Americas, EIMEA, and Asia-Pacific segments. The company's focus on innovation, promotional activity, and expanding distribution has helped offset broader economic and geopolitical uncertainties, allowing WD-40 to reaffirm its full-year fiscal 2026 guidance.

The details

Total net sales were $161.7 million, an increase of 11% compared to the prior year quarter. Maintenance product sales, which represent 97% of total net sales, grew 13% year-over-year. The company saw strong performance across its key brands, including a 12% increase in WD-40 Multi-Use Product sales and a 20% jump in WD-40 Specialist sales. Gross margin expanded 100 basis points to 55.6%, and operating income rose 13% to $26.3 million. However, net income declined 32% due to a one-time tax benefit in the prior year quarter.
