**HOLLEY REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2026 RESULTS** 

**GROWTH IN THREE OF FOUR DIVISIONS & IMPROVEMENTS IN MULTIPLE KEY FINANCIAL METRICS**

**FIRST QUARTER NET INCOME OF $7.3 MILLION, UP $4.4 MILLION YEAR-OVER-YEAR**

**FIRST QUARTER ADJUSTED EBITDA MARGIN EXPANSION TO 18.5%, UP 71 BPS YEAR-OVER-YEAR**

***Disciplined Cost Control Supports Resilient First Quarter Profitability***

 ***Portfolio Optimization Initiative Expected to Improve Margin by Exiting Non-Value Added Businesses***

**Nashville, TN.** – May 6, 2026 – Holley Performance Brands (NYSE: HLLY), a leader in automotive aftermarket performance solutions, today announced financial results for its first quarter ended March 29, 2026.

**<u>First Quarter Highlights vs. Prior Year Period</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Net Sales was $147.3 million compared to $153.0 million last year

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Net Income was $7.3 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, compared to $2.8 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, last year

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Net Cash Used in Operating Activities was $2.9 million compared to $7.8 million last year

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Adjusted Net Income<sup>1</sup> was $5.7 million compared to $2.6 million last year

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Adjusted EBITDA<sup>1</sup> was $27.3 million compared to $27.3 million last year

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Adjusted EBITDA margin<sup>1</sup> was 18.5% compared to 17.8% last year

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Free Cash Flow<sup>1</sup> was $(6.3) million compared to $(10.8) million last year

<sup>1</sup>See "Use and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below.

"We delivered first quarter net sales of $147.3 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $27.3 million, reflecting resilient profitability and disciplined execution," said Matthew Stevenson, President and Chief Executive Officer of Holley.

"As noted on our prior earnings call, the first quarter began with several temporary headwinds. Distributor inventory levels were elevated entering the period, and while normalization was expected through improved sell-through, severe winter weather in late January and early February 2026 disrupted retail activity.

That said, from week eight onward, we saw steady improvement in purchasing patterns and exited the quarter on improved footing. Margins remained strong in the first quarter of 2026, reflecting proactive tariff management and operating efficiency. We are maintaining that focus, prioritizing cost control and advancing our portfolio optimization initiative, which we expect to support performance over time, while continuing to invest in innovation, deepen our connection with enthusiasts, and compete to gain share.

Strategically, we continued to execute against the framework established in 2025, centered on simplifying the portfolio, strengthening core franchises, and enhancing operating discipline. The acquisition of HRX, a targeted bolt-on that expands our racewear capabilities and deepens our European motorsports presence, marks the reengagement of our M&A strategy, and we remain focused on pursuing additional opportunities that meet our criteria. We believe that the actions we have taken over the past year position us to improve execution and strengthen the business over time."

------

Jesse Weaver, Chief Financial Officer of Holley, added, "Early trends in the second quarter indicate healthier inventory levels at our distribution partners and improving order activity, which we believe position us better for the balance of the year. Through our portfolio optimization initiative, we are exiting non-core, low- to no-profit businesses while reinvesting in targeted M&A, as reflected in our acquisition of HRX. Although these portfolio adjustments reduce our full-year revenue outlook by $15 million, our outlook for the core business remains intact, and we expect the net impact on Adjusted EBITDA from the portfolio optimization to be slightly positive. At the same time, our portfolio adjustments are expected to reduce SKUs by more than 11,000, lower operating complexity, improve working capital efficiency, and generate more than $15 million in incremental cash. Taken together, these actions are expected to improve the quality of our portfolio and support our decision to maintain our full-year Adjusted EBITDA outlook."

**<u>Strategic Business Highlights</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Exited Q1 with momentum from week 8 as weather improved and inventory normalized.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Growth in three of four divisions and across 12 brands across DTC and B2B channels.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Delivered $6.5 million in Q1 cost savings from purchasing, tariffs, and operations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Advanced cost and complexity reduction, including site consolidation and closures.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Expecting portfolio rebalancing to generate >$15 million to reinvest in growth

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• HRX acquisition strengthens Safety and Racing and expands European presence.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Free Cash Flow improvement of $4.5 million compared to same period last year.

**<u>Outlook</u>**

\*\*For the year ended December 31, 2026, core business revenue guidance remains unchanged while we are updating full-year guidance to reflect an anticipated $15 million adjustment to net sales as a result of our planned portfolio optimization efforts:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **Metric** | **Original Full Year 2026 Outlook** | **Current Full Year 2026 Outlook** |
| **Net Sales *Core Business Growth Rate %***<sup>1</sup> | $625 - $655 million *~2% to ~7%* | $610 - $640 million *~2% to ~7%* |
| **Adjusted EBITDA\*** | $127 - $137 million | $127 - $137 million |
| **Capital Expenditures** | $15 - $20 million | $15 - $20 million |
| **Depreciation and Amortization Expense** | $24 - $26 million | $24 - $26 million |
| **Interest Expense (excluding collar revaluation)** | $42 - $47 million | $42 - $47 million |

---

1) Core Business Growth Rate, introduced this quarter, excludes impact from Portfolio Optimization Adjusted anticipated for 2026.

\* Holley is not providing reconciliations of forward-looking full year 2026 Adjusted EBITDA outlook because certain information necessary to calculate the most comparable GAAP measure, net income, is unavailable due to the uncertainty and inherent difficulty of predicting the occurrence and the future financial statement impact of certain items. Therefore, as a result of the uncertainty and variability of the nature and amount of future adjustments, which could be significant, Holley is unable to provide these forward-looking reconciliations without unreasonable effort. Accordingly, Holley is relying on the exception provided by Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K to exclude these reconciliations.

Holley notes that its outlook for the year-ended December 31, 2026 may vary due to changes in assumptions or market conditions and other factors described below under "Forward-Looking Statements."

Forward-looking statements generally relate to future events or Holley's future financial or operating performance. For example, projections of future revenue and adjusted EBITDA and other metrics, along with statements regarding the impact of portfolio optimization efforts and organizational changes, are forward-looking statements.

Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based upon estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by Holley and its management, are inherently uncertain. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, but are not limited to: 1) Holley's ability to execute our business strategy, including monetization of services provided and expansions in and into existing and new lines of business; 2) Holley's ability to compete effectively in our market; 3) Holley's ability to successfully design, develop, and market new, effective, and safe products and platforms; 4) Holley's ability to respond to changes in vehicle ownership and type; 5) Holley's ability to maintain and strengthen demand for our products; 6) Holley's ability to grow and effectively manage our growth; 7) Holley's ability to attract new customers in a cost-effective manner and to expand into additional consumer markets; 8) Holley's ability to successfully integrate acquisitions or achieve the expected synergies from such acquisitions; 9) Holley's ability to maintain relationships with customers and suppliers; 10) Holley's ability to retain our management and key employees; 11) costs related to Holley being a public company; 12) disruptions to Holley's operations, including as a result of cybersecurity incidents; 13) changes in applicable laws or regulations; 14) the outcome of any legal proceedings that have been or may be instituted against Holley; 15) general economic and political conditions, including the current macroeconomic environment, political tensions, and war (including the conflict in Ukraine, the conflict in the Middle East, and the possible expansion of such conflicts and potential geopolitical consequences); 16) the possibility that Holley may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors, including recent events affecting the financial services industry (such as the closures of certain regional banks); 17) Holley's estimates of its financial performance (e.g., the successful execution of cost saving initiatives); 18) Holley's ability to anticipate and manage through disruptions and higher costs in manufacturing, supply chain, logistical operations, and shortages of certain company products in distribution channels; 19) Holley's ability to anticipate, manage, and mitigate the impact of changing trade policies, including tariffs; 20) disruptions and costs associated with doing business in certain countries; 21) Holley's ability to adopt and react to risks posed by new technology; 22) inability to predict how products will ultimately be used; 23) Holley's ability to anticipate and manage through the impact of elevated interest rate levels, which cause the cost of capital to increase, as well as respond to inflationary pressures and trade restrictions, including tariffs; and 24) other risks and uncertainties set forth in the section entitled "Risk Factors" and "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on March 16, 2026, and disclosed in any subsequent filings with the SEC.

There may be additional risks that Holley

We present certain information with respect to EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Bank-adjusted EBITDA Leverage Ratio, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS and Free Cash Flow as supplemental measures of our operating performance and believe that such non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors in evaluating our financial performance and in comparing our financial results between periods because they exclude the impact of certain items that we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance. We believe that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures enhances the usefulness of our financial information by presenting measures that management uses internally to establish forecasts, budgets, and operational goals to manage and monitor our business. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures help to depict a more realistic representation of the performance of our underlying business, enabling us to evaluate and plan more effectively for the future.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Bank-adjusted EBITDA Leverage Ratio, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS and Free Cash Flow are not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and may be different from non-GAAP and other financial measures used by other companies. These measures should not be considered as measures of financial performance under GAAP, and the items excluded from or included in these metrics are significant components in understanding and assessing our financial performance. These metrics should not be considered as alternatives to net income, gross profit, net cash provided by operating activities, or any other performance measures, as applicable, derived in accordance with GAAP.

We define EBITDA as earnings before depreciation, amortization of intangible assets, interest expense, and income tax expense. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA adjusted to exclude, to the extent applicable, restructuring costs, which includes operational restructuring and integration activities, termination related benefits, facilities relocation, and executive transition costs; changes in the fair value of the warrant liability; changes in the fair value of the earn-out liability; equity-based compensation expense; gain or loss on the early extinguishment of debt; notable items that we do not believe are reflective of our underlying operating performance, including litigation settlements and certain costs incurred for advisory services related to identifying performance initiatives; and other expenses or gains, which includes gains or losses from disposal of fixed assets, franchise taxes, and gains or losses from foreign currency transactions. We define Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales.

We define the Bank-adjusted EBITDA Leverage Ratio as Net Debt divided by our Bank-adjusted EBITDA for the trailing twelve-month ("TTM") period, as defined under our Credit Agreement entered into in November 2021, as amended, which is used in calculating covenant compliance.

We define Adjusted Net Income as earnings excluding the after-tax effect of changes in the fair value of the warrant liability, changes in the fair value of the earn-out liability, write-downs of assets held-for-sale, and gain or loss on the early extinguishment of debt. We define Adjusted Diluted EPS as Adjusted Net Income on a per share basis. Management uses these measures to focus on on-going operations and believes that it is useful to investors because it enables them to perform meaningful comparisons of past and present consolidated operating results. We believe that using this information, along with net income and net income per diluted share, provides for a more complete analysis of the results of operations.

We define Free Cash Flow as net cash provided by operating activities minus cash payments for capital expenditures, net of dispositions. Management believes providing Free Cash Flow is useful for investors to understand our performance and results of cash generation after making capital investments required to support ongoing business operations.
