Complete event summary combining all related documents: earnings call transcript, report, and slide presentation.Q3 2027 earnings summary5 Oct, 2026
Executive summary
Q2 FY2027 net sales rose 3.3% YoY to $102.0M and operating income rose 9.7% to $13.6M; net earnings fell to $9.4M from $13.2M, reflecting prior-year litigation gains and a current-period litigation charge.
Six-month sales increased 2.4% to $200.6M and operating income rose 5.8% to $27.2M, while net earnings declined to $19.3M from $23.0M.
Financial highlights
Q2 gross profit was $30.5M versus $30.1M; gross margin was 29.9% versus 30.5%, pressured by higher carbonless paper costs.
Q2 SG&A fell 4.5% YoY to $16.9M; six-month SG&A declined 0.9% to $34.4M.
Q2 diluted EPS was $0.37 versus $0.51; six-month diluted EPS was $0.76 versus $0.89.
Operating cash flow increased to $34.1M from $18.4M for H1, primarily due to lower inventory purchasing after the prior-year buffer-stock build.
Outlook and guidance
Cash and anticipated operating cash flows are expected to cover operating and capital needs for at least the next 12 months, including potential acquisitions.
FY2027 capital expenditures are expected to be $4.0M–$7.0M, excluding possible acquisitions; $1.9M was spent in H1.
No FY2027 pension contribution is required; future funding needs remain sensitive to investment returns and discount rates.
