Tootsie Roll Q2 net sales rise 3% to $153.2 million; EPS up 14% to $0.24
Tootsie Roll reported second-quarter 2025 net sales of $153.2 million, up 3% from a year earlier, and net earnings of $17.5 million, or $0.24 per share, compared with $0.21 in the prior-year quarter. Management said cocoa and chocolate costs are expected to stay higher through the balance of 2025 and into 2026, and that these costs will weigh more heavily on second-half gross margins.
Key points
- Q2 2025 net sales were $153,190,000, up $4,371,000 (3%) from $148,819,000 in Q2 2024.
- Q2 2025 net earnings were $17,544,000 ($0.24 per share), up from $15,640,000 ($0.21 per share) in Q2 2024.
- First-half 2025 net sales were $299,711,000, down $572,000 from $300,283,000; first-half EPS was $0.49 versus $0.43.
- Management expects higher cocoa and chocolate costs in the rest of 2025 and into 2026 as older supply contracts expire, and the LIFO accounting method will increase their adverse effect on second-half margins.
