Key Terms

beta-alanine, paresthesia, glp-1
3 terms
beta-alanine medical
"CarnoSynae beta-alanine royalty, licensing and raw material sales revenue increased..."
A naturally occurring amino acid used primarily as an ingredient in sports and dietary supplements to raise muscle levels of carnosine, which can help delay fatigue during short bursts of intense exercise. Investors monitor beta-alanine because its scientific support, regulatory status, supply chain, and consumer trends directly affect sales and profitability of supplement makers and food companies—think of it as a popular recipe ingredient that can drive product demand or regulatory scrutiny.
paresthesia medical
"with lower dosing and resulting absence of paresthesia."
Paresthesia is an abnormal skin sensation such as tingling, numbness, burning or “pins and needles,” often described like a hand or foot that has temporarily “fallen asleep.” In financial and clinical reporting, mention of paresthesia flags a potential safety or tolerability issue with a drug or device that can influence regulatory review, prescribing decisions and investor confidence—similar to a dashboard warning that prompts closer scrutiny.
glp-1 medical
"weight loss phenomenon attributed to utilization of GLP-1 and related metabolic indicators..."
GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) is a natural hormone in the body that helps regulate blood sugar levels and appetite. Its significance to investors lies in its role as the basis for a class of medications that address conditions like type 2 diabetes and obesity, which are large and growing markets. Advances or investments in GLP-1-based treatments can signal opportunities in healthcare innovation and potentially impact pharmaceutical companies’ growth.

CARLSBAD, Calif., Feb. 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Natural Alternatives International, Inc. ("NAI") (Nasdaq: NAII), a leading formulator, manufacturer, and marketer of customized nutritional supplements, today announced a net loss of $2.6 million, or $0.42 per diluted share, on net sales of $34.8 million for the second quarter of fiscal year 2026 compared to a net loss of $2.2 million, or $0.37 per diluted share, in the second quarter of the prior fiscal year.

Net sales during the three months ended December 31, 2025, increased $0.7 million, or 2%, to $34.8 million as compared to $34.1 million recorded in the comparable prior year period. During the same period, private-label contract manufacturing sales increased 2% to $32.8 million. Private-label contract manufacturing sales increased primarily due to increased orders from several of our existing customers and shipments to new customers, partially offset by decreased shipments to other existing customers.

CarnoSyn® beta-alanine royalty, licensing and raw material sales revenue increased 13% to $2.0 million during the second quarter of fiscal year 2026, as compared to $1.8 million for the second quarter of fiscal year 2025. The increase was primarily due to increased raw material orders from existing customers partially offset by a decrease in royalty and licensing revenue.

Our net loss for the six months ended December 31, 2025, was $2.8 million, or $0.47 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $4.2 million, or $0.70 per diluted share, for the six months ended December 31, 2024.

Net sales during the six months ended December 31, 2025, increased $5.3 million, or 8%, to $72.5 million as compared to $67.2 million recorded in the comparable prior year period. During the six months ended December 31, 2025, private-label contract manufacturing sales increased 9% to $68.9 million, as compared to $62.9 million in the comparable prior period. CarnoSyn® beta-alanine royalty, licensing and raw material sales revenue decreased 15% to $3.7 million during the first six months of fiscal 2026, as compared to $4.3 million for the first six months of fiscal 2025.

While we grew our net sales, expanded our gross margins and reduced selling, general and administrative costs during the three and six months ended December 31, 2025, we experienced a loss from operations during the first six months of fiscal 2026 primarily due to underutilization of our factory capacities. The improvement in gross profit is primarily related to increased new and existing customer sales that also drove improved factory utilization. Although we anticipate we will increase our sales revenue during the remaining two quarters of fiscal 2026 as compared to the prior year periods and the first half of this year, we now believe that we will experience a net loss in the second half of fiscal 2026, and a net loss for the full fiscal 2026 year due to reductions in several of our customer’s forecasted sales along with delayed new product launches.

As of December 31, 2025, we had cash of $3.8 million and working capital of $28.7 million, compared to $12.3 million and $30.5 million respectively, as of June 30, 2025. As of December 31, 2025, we had $10.0 million of borrowing capacity on our credit facility of which we had outstanding borrowings of $5.8 million.

Mark A. Le Doux, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of NAI stated, “NAI is experiencing some disappointments in the ability to accurately forecast demand from several clients engaged in the multi-level marketing and direct selling channels of commerce, in China, Europe and in some cases North America.  We believe that efforts are underway by our clients to rectify these challenges by introducing new products and reinvigorating their sales efforts in these various markets.  Other sales channels of our business are growing, and we are seeing this as well in large retailer environments, warehouse stores and through internet-based sales direct to consumers.

While we assist our direct selling customer base with their sales and inventory modification efforts, we are also diligently managing our cost and expenses during this challenging environment.  We continue to focus on the expansion of acceptance of our CarnoSyn® patent estate with the introduction of the highly bioavailable and beneficial form of beta-alanine in our patent pending TriBsynTM molecule which has demonstrated the capability of delivering 4 times the effectiveness of instant release beta-alanine with lower dosing and resulting absence of paresthesia.  As the weight loss phenomenon attributed to utilization of GLP-1 and related metabolic indicators continues to grow, the opportunity to provide TriBsynTM and SR CarnoSyn® to retard or prevent the onset of muscle wasting attributed to reduced caloric and protein intake of those utilizing GLP-1 medications is significant.  This is also an essential compound for use in nutritional supplementation of the elderly to support age-based sarcopenia.  We remain committed to expanding the adoption of this scientifically revolutionary molecule.”

FAQ

AI-generated questions and answers. How Rhea-AI works. Not financial advice.

What were NAII's Q2 FY2026 earnings and EPS on Feb 13, 2026?

NAII reported a Q2 FY2026 net loss of $2.6M, or $0.42 per diluted share. According to the company, that compares to a net loss of $2.2M, or $0.37 per diluted share, in the prior-year quarter, on net sales of $34.8M.

Why does NAII (NAII) expect a net loss for full fiscal 2026?

The company expects a full‑year loss due to reduced customer forecasts and delayed product launches. According to the company, these demand shifts and timing delays will pressure second‑half results despite anticipated revenue increases.

NAII had $3.8M cash and $5.8M outstanding borrowings on a $10.0M facility at Dec 31, 2025. According to the company, available borrowing capacity was $10.0M with $5.8M drawn against it.

How did factory utilization affect NAII's first‑half FY2026 results?

Underutilization of factory capacity led to a loss from operations in the first six months. According to the company, improved gross margins from new and existing customers helped, but underutilization remained the primary operational drag.
