Complete event summary combining all related documents: earnings call transcript, report, and slide presentation.
Executive summary
Net sales declined 13.1% year-over-year to $54.3 million, driven by tariffs, shifting consumer behavior, and weather-related delays, partially offset by market share gains in safety.
Gross margin improved to 24.7% from 24.2%, driven by lower costs despite $1.6 million in tariff expenses and unfavorable product mix.
Net income for Q2 2025 was $1.8 million ($0.13 per diluted share), down from $2.8 million ($0.20 per share) year-over-year.
Operating income fell to $2.6 million from $4.5 million, and EBITDA decreased to $3.9 million from $5.8 million, impacted by lower sales and $0.4 million in non-recurring executive transition expenses.
