Core elements of our thesis remain intact : consumer engagement is strong , key consumer metrics remain healthier than reported revenue trends would suggest , and our confidence in the long - term opportunity remains unchanged . While we've seen greater softness in the MEATER business and increased near - term channel impacts associated with our distribution strategy , those factors do not change our long - term outlook . " " Today , we're also announcing one of the most meaningful distribution expansions in Traeger's recent history through a new partnership with Lowe's . Combined with the encouraging early performance of Westwood and Irontop , we believe this expansion broadens access to the brand , strengthens our position in underpenetrated markets and creates a powerful platform for long - term household acquisition and growth , " continued Mr. Andrus . " Importantly , despite lowering our revenue outlook , we are maintaining our Adjusted EBITDA guidance while continuing to invest behind the initiatives that matter most . Project Gravity continues to strengthen our operating model , improve cash generation and create greater flexibility to invest in growth . As we enter 2027 , we expect to benefit from a larger installed base , broader distribution footprint , a more complete product architecture and a simpler operating model , reinforcing our confidence in Traeger's ability to return to profitable growth , " concluded Mr. Andrus . 1

Operating Results for the Second Quarter Total revenue decreased by 17.4% to $120.2 million, compared to $145.5 million in the second quarter last year. • Grills decreased 17.0% to $61.6 million as compared to the second quarter last year. The decrease was primarily driven by lower average selling prices, reflecting a shift in product mix towards more accessible price points, as well as pricing and channel actions under Project Gravity. These factors were partially offset by higher unit volumes associated with new product launches. • Consumables decreased 9.9% to $32.8 million as compared to the second quarter last year. The decrease was driven by lower wood pellet sales, reflecting seasonal ordering timing, and a decrease in food consumables sales reflecting prior year channel expansion. • Accessories decreased 26.2% to $25.8 million as compared to the second quarter last year. This decrease was driven primarily by lower sales of MEATER smart thermometers. Gross profit decreased to $47.4 million, compared to $57.0 million in the second quarter last year. Gross profit margin was 39.5% in the second quarter, compared to 39.2% in the same period last year. The increase in gross margin was primarily driven by the benefit from the IEEPA tariff refund, timing of trade spend, and higher mix of direct import sales, partially offset by product mix. Sales and marketing expenses were $17.1 million, compared to $24.8 million in the second quarter last year. The decrease in sales and marketing expense was driven by lower employee-related costs and reduced demand creation spend, reflecting cost reduction actions associated with Project Gravity. General and administrative expenses were $21.8 million, compared to $26.0 million in the second quarter last year. The decrease in general and administrative expense was driven by lower employee-related costs, reflecting cost reduction actions associated with Project Gravity. Restructuring and other costs were $1.5 million, compared to $3.5 million in the second quarter last year. The decrease was primarily driven by lower severance and other personnel costs, as well as reduced consulting fees. Net loss was $8.6 million in the second quarter, or $3.12 per diluted share, as compared to a net loss of $7.4 million in the second quarter of last year, or $2.77 per diluted share. Adjusted net income was $1.4 million, or $0.53 per diluted share as compared to adjusted net loss of $1.9 million, or $0.73 per diluted share in the second quarter last year. Adjusted EBITDA was $17.3 million in the second quarter as compared to $14.3 million in the same period last year despite lower revenue, reflecting the benefit of Project Gravity actions, disciplined expense management and continued focus on profitability. This press release reflects the impact of the 1-for-50 reverse stock split of the Company's common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, effective on March 17, 2026. All share and per share amounts have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split for all periods presented. See our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 for additional information. Additionally, all potentially dilutive securities were antidilutive for the periods presented and were therefore excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share as of June 30, 2026 and 2025. Reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures, as well as definitions for the non-GAAP financial measures included in this press release and the reasons for their use, are presented below. 1 2 2 1 2 2

Guidance For Full Year Fiscal 2026 This updated outlook reflects the continued execution of Project Gravity, including approximately $50 million of value capture in fiscal 2026. The reduction in revenue guidance is primarily due to additional softness in the MEATER business and anticipated near-term channel offsets associated with the Company's distribution expansion strategy, revising our previously issued revenue guidance range of $465 million to $485 million. Adjusted EBITDA guidance is unchanged despite lower revenue expectations, and gross margin guidance has been increased to reflect favorable tariff assumptions relative to prior expectations, revising our previously issued gross margin guidance range of 39.5% to 40.5%. Free Cash Flow guidance reflects continued progress on working capital efficiency and inventory reduction initiatives. • Total revenue is expected to be between $435 million and $465 million • Gross Margin is expected to be between 40.0% and 41.0% • Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be between $57 million and $67 million • Free Cash Flow is expected to be at least $30 million A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow guidance to Net Loss and Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities on a forward-looking basis cannot be provided without unreasonable efforts, as the Company is unable to provide reconciling information with respect to, in the case of Adjusted EBITDA, adjustments for benefit for income taxes, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, other (income) expense, stock-based compensation, non-routine legal expenses, restructuring and other costs and employee retention tax credits, and, in the case of Free Cash Flow, adjustments for purchases of property, plant, and equipment.

TRAEGER, INC. RECONCILIATIONS OF AND OTHER INFORMATION REGARDING NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES (unaudited) In addition to our results and measures of performance determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we believe that certain non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating and comparing our financial and operational performance over multiple periods, identifying trends affecting our business, formulating business plans and making strategic decisions. Each of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted Net Income (Loss) per share, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income (Loss) Margin, and Adjusted Gross Margin are key performance measures that our management uses to assess our financial performance and is also used for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We believe that these non- GAAP financial measures are useful to investors and other interested parties in analyzing our financial performance because they provide a comparable overview of our operations across historical periods. In addition, we believe that providing each of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income (Loss), together with a reconciliation of Net Loss to each such measure, and providing Adjusted Net Income (Loss) per share, together with a reconciliation of Net Loss per share to such measure, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income (Loss) Margin, and Adjusted Gross Margin, together with a reconciliation of Net Loss Margin and Gross Margin to such measures, helps investors make comparisons between our company and other companies that may have different capital structures, different tax rates, and/or different forms of employee compensation. We also believe that providing Free Cash Flow, together with a reconciliation of Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities to such measure, helps investors assess our liquidity and our ability to generate cash from operations. For example, due to finite-lived intangible assets included on our balance sheet following our corporate reorganization in 2017, we have significant non-cash amortization expense attributable to the nature of our capital structure. Each of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted Net Income (Loss) per share, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income (Loss) Margin, and Adjusted Gross Margin are used by our management team as an additional measure of our performance for purposes of business decision-making, including managing expenditures, and evaluating potential acquisitions. Period-to-period comparisons of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted Net Income (Loss) per share, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income (Loss) Margin, and Adjusted Gross Margin help our management identify additional trends in our financial results that may not be shown solely by period-to-period comparisons of Net Loss or Loss from Continuing Operations or Net Loss per share. Period-to-period comparisons of Free Cash Flow help our management identify additional trends in our liquidity that may not be shown solely by period-to-period comparisons of Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities. In addition, we may use Adjusted EBITDA in the incentive compensation programs applicable to some of our employees. Each of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), and Adjusted Net Income (Loss) per share has inherent limitations because of the excluded items, and may not be directly comparable to similarly titled metrics used by other companies. 10

The following table presents a reconciliation of Gross Margin, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, to Adjusted Gross Margin on a consolidated basis. Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 2025 2026 2025 Gross margin 39.5 % 39.2 % 42.2 % 40.3 % Less: Impact of IEEPA tariff refund benefit recorded in current period attributable to prior year cost of revenue — % — % (4.2)% — % Adjusted gross margin 39.5 % 39.2 % 38.0 % 40.3 % (1) During the second quarter of 2026, the Company revised its non-GAAP adjustment for the IEEPA tariff refunds to exclude the portion attributable to the current year cost of revenue. As a result, adjusted gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 2026 has been revised from 32.6% to 36.2%. This change does not affect any previously reported GAAP measure for that period. The following table presents a reconciliation of Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, to Free Cash Flow on a consolidated basis. A reconciliation of Free Cash Flow guidance to Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities on a forward-looking basis cannot be provided without unreasonable efforts, as the Company is unable to provide reconciling information with respect to the impact for the purchases of property, plant and equipment, which is an adjustment to Free Cash Flow.
