Management Commentary
"Our second quarter results reflect solid execution across our operations, with net sales increasing 6.3% year?over?year to $671.1 million, driven by growth in both North America and Europe," said Mike Olosky, President and Chief Executive Officer of Simpson Manufacturing Co., Inc. "North America sales growth of 6.0% year-over-year was driven primarily by our 2025 pricing actions in response to tariffs and multiyear cost increases, partially offset by lower volumes tied to a softer market. In Europe, net sales rose 7.6% year?over?year, leading to a record quarter for operating income margin of 13.7%. Consolidated profitability strengthened in the quarter, with gross margin expanding 100 basis points to 47.4% and operating margin improving 300 basis points to 25.2%, including a 100 basis point benefit from a $5.5 million eminent domain settlement and the benefit of our 2025 strategic cost savings initiatives. These results underscore the resilience of our business model, the dedication of our employees, and the value customers place on our innovative solutions and trusted partnerships."
Mr. Olosky continued, "As we celebrate our 70th anniversary, we remain focused on deepening our position as the partner of choice for our customers, driving innovation in the markets we serve, and strengthening our values-based culture--all while continuing to deliver solid financial results. Our financial ambitions remain driving above market volume growth relative to United States housing starts, maintaining an operating income margin at or above 20%, and consistently driving EPS growth ahead of net sales growth."
North America Segment 2026 Second Quarter Financial Highlights
- Net sales of $522.3 million increased 6.0% from $492.7 million primarily due to price increases that took effect in June 2025 and October 2025, partly offset by a slight decrease in unit sales volumes.
- Gross margin increased to 50.2% from 49.5% due to lower material costs as a percentage of net sales and cost savings initiatives.
- Income from operations of $158.0 million increased 15.8% from $136.5 million, primarily due to the increases in net sales as well as lower operating expense including lower personnel costs, and software licensing fees as well as a reduction in travel and entertainment costs.
Europe Segment 2026 Second Quarter Financial Highlights
- Net sales of $143.5 million increased 7.6% from $133.4 million due to both increased unit sales volumes and price increases as well as the positive effect of approximately $3.7 million in foreign currency translation.
- Gross margin increased to 38.2% from 36.2%, primarily driven by lower material costs, factory and tooling costs, and labor costs as a percentage of net sales.
- Income from operations of $19.7 million increased 25.7% from $15.7 million primarily due to higher gross profits. Operating expenses were negatively affected by approximately $0.7 million in foreign currency translation.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release includes certain financial information not prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States ("GAAP"). Since not all companies calculate non-GAAP financial information identically (or at all), the presentations herein may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies. Further, these measures should not be considered substitutes for the performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP.
