In one sentence

Whirlpool reported revenue of $3.7 billion for Q3 2026, down 9% from a year earlier (Whirlpool, Oct 26, 2026).

The quarter ended September 30, 2026 and Whirlpool published the results on October 26, 2026. Revenue and diluted EPS are shown against Q3 2025, the same quarter a year earlier, which takes seasonal swings out of the comparison. Whirlpool reports EPS two ways: GAAP, under the accounting rules every US filer follows, and ongoing, which leaves out items the company considers outside its operating results. The release reconciles the two, and when they diverge, the reconciliation says why.

  • Whirlpool sold an 11% stake in Whirlpool India and deconsolidated it in the fourth quarter of 2025, so the year-ago quarter includes $180 million of India sales that Q3 2026 does not. India is no longer a segment, and the segment rows leave out corporate and other sales, so they do not add up to total net sales.
  • Net loss per share is after $12 million of dividends accumulated on the 8.50% Series A Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock Whirlpool issued in 2026.

WHR revenue by segment

How Whirlpool splits revenue in its own release, under its own labels, for Q3 2026 against Q3 2025. Indented lines are parts of the line above them.

  • Whirlpool's MDA North America revenue was $2.5 billion in Q3 2026, down 8% from $2.7 billion in Q3 2025, 68% of total revenue.
  • Whirlpool's MDA Latin America revenue was $858 million in Q3 2026, up 7% from $802 million in Q3 2025, 23% of total revenue.
  • Whirlpool's SDA Global revenue was $286 million in Q3 2026, down 1% from $288 million in Q3 2025, 8% of total revenue.

Segment lines are the figures writers cite most often, because they show where the growth in a quarter came from. Companies redraw their segments from time to time and restate the prior year to match, so a year-ago figure here can differ from the one printed a year ago. When that has happened, the note above says so.

  • Q3 2026 (this page), reported Oct 26, 2026

What Whirlpool's revenue is made of

Whirlpool reported Q3 2026 net sales of $3,677 million, down 8.8% from $4,033 million. MDA North America (major domestic appliances) was $2,495 million of that, MDA Latin America $858 million and SDA Global (small domestic appliances) $286 million. Whirlpool said the decline was driven mainly by the deconsolidation of Whirlpool of India and lower industry demand in North America, partly offset by favorable currency in Latin America. (Whirlpool Q3 2026 release, Oct 26, 2026; Whirlpool Form 10-Q, Q3 2026, Oct 27, 2026)

By product, Whirlpool's laundry sales were $1,084 million (against $1,150 million a year earlier), refrigeration $1,088 million (against $1,251 million), cooking $902 million and dishwashing $276 million. Spare parts and warranties added $131 million, and other revenue, mainly InSinkErator, subscriptions and licenses, $195 million. (Whirlpool Form 10-Q, Q3 2026, Oct 27, 2026)

In MDA North America, net sales fell 8.3%, or 8.2% excluding currency, which Whirlpool put down to lower volume from soft industry demand, partly offset by favorable price and mix. It announced a 7% price increase effective in Q4. MDA Latin America grew 6.9% on currency and volume, or 2.5% excluding currency, and Whirlpool announced price increases of up to 10% across the region. (Whirlpool Q3 2026 release, Oct 26, 2026; Whirlpool Form 10-Q, Q3 2026, Oct 27, 2026)

Whirlpool's sales depend heavily on one retailer. Lowe's accounted for about 15% of consolidated net sales in 2025 and about 44% of accounts receivable at December 31, 2025. Close to 90% of Whirlpool's roughly $16 billion of 2025 net sales were in the Americas. (Whirlpool Form 10-K, 2025, Feb 11, 2026; Whirlpool Q3 2026 release, Oct 26, 2026)

Organic net sales, which strip out the $180 million of year-ago India sales and a $34 million currency benefit, were $3,643 million against $3,852 million, a 5.4% decline. (Whirlpool Q3 2026 release, Oct 26, 2026)

What Whirlpool's EPS includes

Whirlpool's GAAP loss of $3.80 per diluted share compares with an ongoing (non-GAAP) loss of $0.21. The gap is mostly four items: a $124 million non-cash impairment of the equity method investment in Whirlpool India ($1.89 a share), driven by the fall in Whirlpool India's stock price; a $54 million charge for the bankruptcy reorganization of a significant Latin American trade customer ($0.82); restructuring costs of $35 million ($0.53); and $13 million of M&A costs ($0.20). (Whirlpool Q3 2026 release, Oct 26, 2026)

The trade customer charge includes $157 million of gross accounts receivable impairments, net of $112 million of expected credit insurance recoveries. Whirlpool also said mix shifts following Grupo Casas Bahia's bankruptcy reorganization pressured the Latin America segment's EBIT margin, which fell to 2.0% from 5.7%. (Whirlpool Q3 2026 release, Oct 26, 2026)

Whirlpool raised equity during 2026, issuing common stock for net proceeds of $524 million and mandatory convertible preferred stock for $557 million in the first nine months. Diluted weighted average shares rose to 65.5 million from 56.5 million a year earlier, and $12 million of preferred dividends accumulated in the quarter came off earnings available to common shareholders. Whirlpool declared no common dividend in Q3 2026, against $0.90 a share a year earlier. (Whirlpool Q3 2026 release, Oct 26, 2026)

Diluted EPS divides net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding in the quarter, plus the shares that options and other equity awards could add. Buybacks shrink that count and lift EPS for the same profit; share issuance and stock awards enlarge it.

Consensus and guidance at Whirlpool

Whirlpool gives a full-year outlook in its release. For 2026 it now expects net sales of about $14.5 billion, a GAAP loss of about $4.95 per diluted share, an ongoing loss of about $1.30 per diluted share and an ongoing EBIT margin of 2.0% to 2.2%. That compares with $5.66 of GAAP EPS and $6.23 of ongoing EPS reported for 2025. (Whirlpool Q3 2026 release, Oct 26, 2026)

Whirlpool also expects about $700 million of operating cash flow and about $300 million of free cash flow for 2026, after free cash flow of negative $1,081 million in the first nine months, and now expects net debt below $4.5 billion at year end, improved from under $5 billion. It puts the 2026 GAAP tax rate at about 8% and the adjusted rate at 25%. (Whirlpool Q3 2026 release, Oct 26, 2026)

A consensus figure is the average of the models published by the analysts who cover Whirlpool, collected by a data provider and revised up to the day of the report. A quarter that lands above it says how expectations were set as much as how the business did, and the share price on the day also reflects the guidance and the lines no consensus covers.

The consensus figures on this page are Yahoo Finance's, as pulled on the date shown. Each comes with the number of analysts behind it; the smaller that number, the more one revised estimate can move the average.

How to check WHR's figures yourself

Every number on this page can be traced to a document Whirlpool published. Checking one takes a couple of minutes, and it is worth doing before you quote a figure anywhere.

  • The results release is the document linked in the source line above. Companies publish it on their investor relations site at the moment results go out, and it carries the headline tables: revenue, operating income, net income and EPS for the quarter and the year-ago quarter.
  • The same release is filed with the SEC as Exhibit 99.1 to a Form 8-K under Item 2.02, usually on the day of the report. The SEC copy does not change after the fact, which makes it the safer thing to link when you cite a number.
  • The quarterly report (Form 10-Q) follows within a few weeks and carries the full financial statements, the segment note and management's discussion of what changed. The fourth quarter is covered by the annual report (Form 10-K) instead.
  • Restated comparisons are flagged in the notes on this page. When a company redraws its segments or changes how it adjusts EPS, it restates the year-ago column, so the year-ago figure in a new release can differ from the one printed a year ago. This page always uses the comparison in the newer release, because that is the like-for-like one.

FAQ

What was Whirlpool's revenue last quarter?

+

Whirlpool reported revenue of $3,677 million for Q3 2026, the quarter ended September 30, 2026, against $4,033 million in Q3 2025 (down 9%). The figures come from Whirlpool's results release of October 26, 2026.

What were WHR's earnings per share for Q3 2026?

+

Diluted EPS was -$3.80 on a GAAP basis, against $1.29 a year earlier. On Whirlpool's ongoing basis it was -$0.21, against $2.09. The two differ because the adjusted figure leaves out items the company treats as outside its operating results; the release reconciles one to the other.

What guidance did Whirlpool give for full year 2026?

+

In its Q3 2026 release, Whirlpool said: "Net sales of approximately $14.5 billion 2026 updated EPS outlook includes full-year GAAP earnings (loss) per diluted share of $(4.95) 2026 GAAP tax rate of approximately 8% and adjusted (non-GAAP) tax rate of 25% Net debt below $4.5 billion at year end" That is the company's own outlook as of Oct 26, 2026, and companies revise outlooks as the quarter goes on.

When does WHR report earnings next?

+

Whirlpool's next report is expected around January 27, 2027, a date estimated from its reporting history that the company has not confirmed. This page carries Q3 2026 until those results are out and checked against the release.

Where does Whirlpool's revenue come from?

+

Whirlpool's MDA North America revenue was $2.5 billion in Q3 2026, down 8% from $2.7 billion in Q3 2025, 68% of total revenue. Whirlpool's MDA Latin America revenue was $858 million in Q3 2026, up 7% from $802 million in Q3 2025, 23% of total revenue. Whirlpool's SDA Global revenue was $286 million in Q3 2026, down 1% from $288 million in Q3 2025, 8% of total revenue. These are the lines of Whirlpool's own "net sales by segment" table for Q3 2026.

How much did Whirlpool's revenue grow last quarter?

+

Down 9% on the year: $3,677 million in Q3 2026 against $4,033 million in Q3 2025. That is the year-over-year comparison, the same quarter a year apart, so seasonal patterns in Whirlpool's business do not distort it.

What is the difference between Whirlpool's GAAP and ongoing EPS?

+

GAAP EPS follows US accounting rules and is the figure in the audited statements. Whirlpool's ongoing EPS starts from it and removes items the company considers outside its operating results; the release lists each adjustment in a reconciliation table. For Q3 2026 the two were -$3.80 and -$0.21. Analysts' EPS estimates are usually built on the adjusted figure, so check which one a headline compares before you repeat it.

Where do the WHR numbers on this page come from?

+

From Whirlpool's own results release and its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2026, copied as printed, in millions of US dollars. Percent changes are worked out from those figures and rounded to a whole percent, which matches how the release states them. Nothing on this page is an estimate except the consensus, which is labelled with its source and date.
