What stood out

  • EPS materially beat expectations

    Reported EPS was $0.50 versus the $0.01 consensus estimate, a $0.49 beat. Net income improvement was attributed to gross-margin expansion.

  • Revenue declined and missed estimates

    Revenue declined 7.8% year over year to $121.4 million and missed the $123.26 million consensus estimate by approximately $1.9 million.

  • Gross margin expanded sharply

    Gross margin expanded to 72.8%, supported in part by $16.0 million of tariff refunds.

  • Inventory and working capital improved

    Inventory declined 15.5% year over year, indicating continued working-capital improvement and lower inventory exposure.

  • EBITDA outlook was raised

    Fiscal 2026 net sales guidance was maintained at $540 million-$560 million, while Adjusted EBITDA guidance increased to $38 million-$42 million from $28 million-$32 million.

What to watch

  • Sales decline remains a key headwind

    Revenue declined 7.8% year over year to $121.4 million and was approximately $1.9 million below the $123.26 million consensus estimate, signaling continued top-line pressure.

  • Margin benefited from tariff refunds

    The $16.0 million tariff refund was a material contributor to the 72.8% gross margin, creating risk that profitability will not be sustained at the same level absent similar benefits.

  • Limited share-repurchase support

    The company repurchased 189,311 shares during the quarter solely for employee tax withholding, at an average price of $3.32 per share; no shares were purchased under publicly announced repurchase programs.

Management's outlook

Fiscal 2026 net sales guidance was maintained at $540 million-$560 million. Adjusted EBITDA guidance was raised to $38 million-$42 million from $28 million-$32 million, including tariff refunds; capital expenditures remain approximately $12 million.
