The Middleby Corporation (NASDAQ: MIDD), a leading worldwide manufacturer of equipment for the commercial foodservice, food processing, and residential kitchen industries, today reported net earnings for the first quarter of 2024.
“Near-term demand conditions proved to be difficult as we started 2024. We expect improved conditions for the second quarter and remain optimistic for the remainder of the year, as channel inventories have returned to normalized levels and order activity is trending in a positive direction. Our overall profitability remains strong, despite the low order volumes significantly impacting our residential business. We were pleased to again post record cash flows in the quarter, with expected strong cash generation for the entire year,” said Tim FitzGerald, CEO of The Middleby Corporation.
