Exhibit 99.1 PRESS RELEASE 1A Burton Hills Blvd, Suite 240 Nashville, TN 37215 Holley.com HOLLEY REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2026 RESULTS DOUBLE-DIGIT CORE GROWTH IN THREE OF FOUR DIVISIONS RETURN TO NET SALES GROWTH REFLECTS STRENGTH ACROSS THE BUSINESS LEVERAGE RATIO LOWEST LEVEL IN
How this was made
The 30-second read
Why it matters
The key tradable elements are the Q2 operating/cash metrics, the portfolio rebalancing progress (non-core Restoration brands sold), and the reiterated full-year guidance alongside continued debt reduction toward a 3.5x leverage target.
Market read
Holley’s Q2 print combines modest top-line growth, higher adjusted net income and free cash flow, and ongoing leverage reduction, while Adjusted EBITDA margin fell and a non-core sale loss weighed on GAAP results.
What to watch
The filing notes a prior-year one-time non-cash tariff capitalization benefit that did not repeat, which can make year-over-year Adjusted EBITDA comparisons look flatter than GAAP earnings quality; traders should also watch whether core growth sustains into H2 given the margin pressure.
Background
Holley filed an SEC 8-K (Item 2.02) with its Q2 2026 results press release and full-year 2026 outlook.
Ticker impact
Holley reported Q2 2026 results with net sales up 3.2% and reiterated full-year core revenue and Adjusted EBITDA guidance.
Likely near-term positive bias as guidance is reiterated and leverage continues to trend down, offset by margin compression and lower Adjusted EBITDA.
The filing includes specific Q2 datapoints (net sales, adjusted net income, free cash flow) plus a reiterated full-year outlook and concrete debt prepayment/leverage progress, which are direct drivers for valuation and risk.
Market effects
Automotive aftermarket names may see read-across from Holley’s portfolio rebalancing and cash/leverage focus, but this is company-specific.
No clear regional spillover beyond US-listed small/mid-cap industrial/auto aftermarket sentiment.
Limited global relevance; impacts are primarily within the US aftermarket performance-parts ecosystem.
Counterpoint
Adjusted EBITDA and margin declined year over year, and the quarter included a large non-core asset sale loss, so investors may question underlying operating momentum.
