Executive summary
Q3 2025 revenue from continuing operations was $55.3 million, down 22% year-over-year, with EBITDA at $3.5 million and EPS at $0.10, reflecting significant declines in key end markets, especially Class 8 truck and automotive.
Net income from continuing operations was $0.6 million ($0.10 per diluted share), down from $4.7 million ($0.75 per share) last year; adjusted net income was $0.8 million ($0.13 per share).
Proactive restructuring included workforce optimization, SG&A reduction, operational footprint reorganization, and divestiture of an underperforming unit, resulting in $1.8 million in quarterly savings and $2.2 million in charges year-to-date.
Discontinued operations (Big 3 Mold) resulted in a net loss of $20.0 million for Q3 2025, primarily due to the sale of the ISBM division.
Product innovation, market diversification, and customer relationship expansion are ongoing to support long-term growth and reduce volatility.
Financial highlights
Net sales decreased 22% to $55.3 million from $71.3 million year-over-year, mainly due to lower sales in returnable transport packaging and truck mirror assemblies.
Gross margin fell to 22.3% from 25.5% year-over-year, impacted by higher raw material costs and lower volumes.
Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations was $3.5 million for Q3 2025 (down from $8.7 million in Q3 2024) and $15.2 million for the nine months (down from $21.3 million year-over-year).
Operating profit margin fell to 3.1% in Q3 2025 from 9.5% in Q3 2024.
Cash flow from operations was $5.0 million for the nine months, compared to $8.3 million in the prior year period.
Outlook and guidance
Some volume improvement seen in Q4, but not yet at historical norms; industry forecasts suggest a soft first half of 2026 with incremental improvements later in the year.
Gross margins expected to improve as volumes recover, returning toward historical levels.
Management anticipates capitalizing on market recovery, focusing on product innovation, customer diversification, and operational efficiency.
Ongoing investment in product development and expansion into new end markets are key pillars of the growth strategy.
Management expects cash, operating cash flow, and available credit to be sufficient for foreseeable working capital needs.

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.
