Northern Techn (NTIC) reported $84.2M in revenue for fiscal year 2025, down 1.0% from the prior fiscal year. This page shows its income statement, balance sheet, cash flow statement, and key financial ratios.

Near-flat sales no longer covered the cost structure, leaving Northern Technologies with positive cash generation but almost no reported earnings.
FY2025’s net income fell to$18K while revenue slipped only-1.0% , so the earnings collapse came from thinner profitability rather than a demand break. The clearest clue is the near match between operating income at$2.6M and operating cash flow at$2.4M ; the business still turned activity into cash, but taxes and interest consumed almost everything left for shareholders.
The real squeeze happened below gross profit: gross margin stayed relatively strong at
