Tootsie Roll Industries reported fourth quarter (Q4) 2025 net sales of USD 194.35 million, representing a 2 percent increase. Net earnings for Q4 2025 were USD 28.79 million, with earnings per share at USD 0.40, up 29 percent. For the full year (FY) 2025, net sales reached USD 724.68 million, up 1 percent. Net earnings for FY 2025 were USD 100.05 million, with earnings per share at USD 1.37, an increase of 16 percent. The company cited successful marketing and sales programs as contributors to higher sales in both Q4 and FY 2025, despite challenges related to customer and consumer resistance to higher prices. Tootsie Roll noted higher input costs, particularly for cocoa and chocolate, and the adverse impact of foreign exchange and unfavorable sales mix during the period. The company estimated that 2025 incremental tariff costs totaled approximately USD 3.7 million, though tariffs on cocoa were rescinded in Q4 2025, which is expected to reduce costs in 2026. Tootsie Roll also reported increased investment income from marketable securities, including a favorable bond accretion adjustment, which benefited quarterly and annual earnings. The company continues to invest in plant manufacturing operations to support long-term growth.
