Analysis · MIDD · Technology
An amendment to the July 6 spin-off 8-K delivers unaudited pro forma financials that carve out the divested Food Processing business, giving investors their first clean view of the remaining company. On a reduced share count of roughly 47.2 million, pro forma EPS from continuing operations reaches $5.59 for fiscal 2025 and $1.50 for Q1 2026. The balance sheet reflects $1.57 billion in long-term debt after applying the $233 million cash distribution from Midera to pay down borrowings. While preliminary, these figures establish a baseline for valuing the post-spin Middleby.
