Sono-Tek Corporation (SOTK) reported $21.4M in revenue over the twelve months to May 31, 2026, up 4.0% from the prior twelve months. This page shows its income statement, balance sheet, cash flow statement, and key financial ratios.

Sono-Tek's cash-conversion rebound is the dominant mechanic, with modest sales growth translating into wider margins and sharply higher free cash flow.
In FY2026, operating cash flow reached$3.2M , well above$1.8M of net income, showing that reported earnings were supported by cash generation rather than merely accounting accruals. Free cash flow reached$3.0M because capital spending was only$225K , making reinvestment demands unusually light relative to cash produced.
With revenue essentially flat, operating margin rose from
The current ratio remained about 3.5x and debt-to-equity stayed below 0.4x in FY2026, suggesting a balance sheet not dependent on heavy leverage or tight short-term funding. Inventory declined while receivables increased, a working-capital mix that likely aided cash conversion but means the cash improvement was not purely an earnings effect.
