Recent press releases and 8-K filings for LAKE.
- Lakeland Industries reported net sales of $47.6 million for Q3 2026, a 4% year-over-year increase, but saw a significant decline in profitability with adjusted EBITDA (excluding FX) of $0.2 million, a 95% decrease compared to the prior year, and a net loss of $16 million or $1.64 per diluted share.
- The decrease in profitability was largely due to a drop in adjusted gross profit margin to 31.3% from 41.7% in Q3 2025, impacted by lower acquired company gross margins, increased material and freight costs, tariffs, and revenue shortfalls.
- The company has withdrawn its formal guidance due to forecasting challenges and has suspended its quarterly cash dividend to manage cash prudently.
- Despite challenges, Lakeland anticipates high single-digit revenue growth and targets 10%-12% adjusted EBITDA margins over the next three quarters, supported by ongoing integration of acquisitions, inventory optimization, and cost reduction initiatives.
- Lakeland reported a 4% increase in net sales to $47.6 million for Q3 2026, but profitability significantly declined, with Adjusted EBITDA excluding FX decreasing 95% to $0.2 million and a net loss of $16.0 million. Adjusted Gross Margin also fell to 31.3% from 41.7% in the prior year period.
- The company attributed the profitability decline to tariff uncertainty, inflation, rising supply-chain costs, and softened demand in several Industrial channels. Despite this, Lakeland completed approximately $9.8 million in acquisitions and secured a $5.6 million contract with the Hong Kong Fire Services Department.
- Due to the uncertain environment, Lakeland has removed its financial guidance. Calven Swinea has been appointed as Interim CFO, effective January 1, 2026.
- Lakeland Fire and Safety reported net sales of $47.6 million for Q3 2026, a 4% year-over-year increase, primarily driven by a 31% increase in fire services products.
- Adjusted EBITDA (excluding FX) significantly decreased to $200,000, representing a 95% year-over-year decline and a 96% sequential decrease, attributed to lower gross margins from increased material and freight costs, tariffs, and revenue shortfalls.

- Profitability was negatively impacted by lower acquired company gross margins, increased material and freight costs, tariffs, and extended certification cycles and tender timelines. Additionally, industrial demand softened across several channels, leading to distributors reducing inventory and customers deferring purchases.
