Q1 2026 earnings summary8 Jan, 2026

Executive summary

  • Achieved record consolidated net sales of $23.3 million for Q1 FY2026, up 9.2% year-over-year, with the strongest growth since FY24, driven by robust performance in ZERUST Oil & Gas, NTIC China, and Natur-Tec segments.

  • ZERUST Oil & Gas, ZERUST Industrial, NTIC China, and Natur-Tec all posted quarterly record sales, with ZERUST Oil & Gas net sales up 58.1% and NTIC China up 23.5%.

  • Net income attributable to shareholders declined to $238,000 ($0.03 per diluted share) from $561,000 ($0.06 per share) year-over-year, mainly due to higher operating and interest expenses and a higher tax rate.

  • Strategic investments and upgrades over the past three years are expected to yield profitability improvements and support future growth.

Financial highlights

  • Total consolidated net sales increased 9.2% year-over-year to $23.3 million for Q1 FY2026.

  • Gross profit margin was 36.0%, down from 38.3% in the prior year, due to a temporary supplier lead time issue.

  • Net income was $238,000 ($0.03 per diluted share), compared to $561,000 ($0.06 per diluted share) in Q1 FY2025.

  • Non-GAAP adjusted net income was $344,000 ($0.04 per diluted share), versus $667,000 ($0.07 per diluted share) last year.

  • Operating expenses rose 2.9% to $9.7 million, mainly from higher SG&A, partially offset by lower R&D; operating expenses as a percentage of sales improved to 41.8%.

Outlook and guidance

  • Anticipates higher year-over-year sales and profitability for the remainder of FY2026, with significant growth expected in the third and fourth quarters.

  • Expects gross margin to improve sequentially and for sales growth to outpace operating expense increases.

  • Profitability expansion in FY2026 will be used to reduce debt.

  • Management expects continued volatility in quarterly net income due to joint venture performance, oil and gas sales, and bioplastics sales.

  • The new Brazil contract is expected to ramp up in FY2026 and run through 2028, with an estimated value of $13 million.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
