Omega Flex (NASDAQ: OFLX) reported second quarter and six-month 2026 results, showing pressure on sales and earnings alongside strategic product and regulatory milestones. Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2026 were $47.2 million, down 3.5% from $48.9 million in 2025, while net income fell to $4.8 million from $7.7 million, a 38.5% decline. For the three months ended June 30, 2026, net sales were 5.8% lower and net income was 35.6% below the prior-year quarter. The company attributed the declines mainly to lower unit volumes amid a weaker construction market and higher raw material, transportation, tariff, marketing, and product enhancement costs, partly offset by lower product liability reserves.

On July 1, 2026, Omega Flex introduced a re‑engineered TracPipe flexible gas piping fitting aimed at broader residential and commercial use, including larger diameter systems up to two inches. In August 2026, its subsidiary Flex‑Trac received CE mark certification under EU MDR 2017/745 for its patent‑protected MediTrac corrugated medical tubing (CMT) as a Class IIa device, adding to existing NFPA 99 and Canadian Z7396.1 compliance and ISO 13485:2016‑certified quality management. MediTrac CMT is already installed in healthcare facilities across 48 U.S. states, Canada, the U.K., Southeast Asia, and other markets.

Key Terms

5 terms
ce mark certification regulatory
"received Conformité Européenne (CE) mark certification under the European Union Medical Device Regulation"
A CE mark is a manufacturer’s declaration that a product meets European Union rules for safety, health, and environmental protection, and that it can be legally placed on the market in the European Economic Area. For investors, it acts like a passport or safety-inspection sticker: it enables access to a large market, signals compliance-related costs and procedures have been addressed, and affects regulatory risk and potential sales opportunities.
eu mdr 2017/745 regulatory
"certification under the European Union Medical Device Regulation (EU MDR 2017/745)"
A European Union regulation that sets legal rules for placing medical devices on the EU market, covering design, clinical evidence, safety testing, labeling, conformity assessment, and ongoing post-market surveillance. It acts like a strict building code for medical devices: manufacturers must meet documented standards and certification steps before and after products are sold. Investors care because compliance affects how quickly products reach markets, the cost of getting and keeping approval, and the business risks tied to recalls or limited market access.
class iia medical device medical
"as a Class IIa medical device"
A Class IIa medical device is a mid‑risk healthcare product — higher risk than simple items like bandages but lower than life‑support machines — that must pass independent regulatory review and meet quality and safety checks before sale. For investors, this classification signals a moderate regulatory pathway, meaning development and approval take more time and cost than low‑risk devices but usually face fewer obstacles than high‑risk products, which affects funding needs, launch timing, and potential liability.
iso 13485:2016 regulatory
"maintained under an ISO 13485:2016-certified quality management system"
ISO 13485:2016 is an internationally recognized standard that sets out requirements for a quality management system specific to manufacturers and suppliers of medical devices. Think of it as a rulebook and inspection checklist that helps ensure devices are designed, produced, and tracked consistently to meet safety and regulatory expectations. Investors care because certification lowers the risk of product recalls, regulatory penalties, and market delays, supporting more predictable costs and revenue.
nfpa 99 regulatory
"complies with the stringent requirements of Health Care Facilities Code NFPA 99"
NFPA 99 is a technical safety standard published by the National Fire Protection Association that sets design, installation, performance, and maintenance requirements for medical gas, electrical, fire protection, and other systems in health care facilities. It matters to investors because compliance affects a facility’s legal operating status, capital spending, renovation timelines and liability risk—like a building code for hospitals that shapes costs and the ability to deliver services reliably.

Dean W. Rivest, Chief Executive Officer of Omega Flex, Inc. (the “Company”), announced that net sales of the Company for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 were $47,150,000 and $48,855,000, respectively, decreasing by $1,705,000 or 3.5%. Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2026 were 5.8% lower than net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease in net sales was mainly due to lower sales unit volumes as the overall market continued to be suppressed because of, among other factors, a decline in housing starts.

Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was $4,752,000, compared to net income of $7,724,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, decreasing by $2,972,000 or 38.5% (the “Six Month Decrease”). Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2026 was 35.6% below net income for the same period in 2025 (the “Three Month Decrease”). The decrease in net income was mainly due to higher raw material costs (including inbound transportation costs and tariffs); marketing efforts; and product enhancement and certification related expenses. The higher costs and expenses described above were partly offset by lower product liability reserves and expenses.

Approximately 30% of the Six Month Decrease, and 54% of the Three Month Decrease, was due to the above-described higher raw material costs (including inbound transportation costs and tariffs) and marketing efforts that were attributable to the procurement of inventory and introduction of the new re-engineered flexible gas piping fitting described below. These higher costs will continue as the Company procures raw materials to achieve targeted inventory levels and markets the new fitting. However, the Company believes that these higher costs will be limited in duration and will normalize over time.

During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company continued to pursue product enhancements intended to strengthen its market position. On July 1, 2026, the Company introduced a re-engineered flexible gas piping fitting designed to support a broader range of applications across both residential and commercial construction markets. The new TracPipe® System branded fitting is designed to ease installation while enhancing overall safety and reliability. The Company believes that in the commercial sector, the fitting is particularly well suited for larger diameter systems, including sizes up to two inches, helping to address the requirements of more demanding installations. The Company continues to make targeted investments in equipment and facilities intended to expand capacity, enhance operational efficiency, and support geographic growth by improving its ability to serve customers and distribution partners across existing and new markets.

In addition, the Company is pleased to announce that its innovative medical-grade product, MediTrac® corrugated medical tubing (CMT), received Conformité Européenne (CE) mark certification under the European Union Medical Device Regulation (EU MDR 2017/745) in August of 2026, as a Class IIa medical device. Achieving EU MDR certification, a lengthy and rigorous process, demonstrates that MediTrac CMT meets applicable European standards for safety, quality, and clinical performance.

The Company is not aware of any other manufacturers of CMT. MediTrac CMT, developed exclusively by the Company, is patent protected and complies with the stringent requirements of Health Care Facilities Code NFPA 99, Canadian Standard Z7396.1 (Medical Gas Pipeline Systems), and now, EU MDR 2017/745.

MediTrac CMT is engineered for the safe and efficient distribution of medical gases in healthcare facilities, offering a flexible, durable, and installation‑friendly alternative to traditional rigid copper tubing. It is manufactured by the Company’s subsidiary, Flex-Trac, Inc., in Exton, Pennsylvania. EU MDR compliance reflects the rigor of our design and manufacturing controls and is maintained under an ISO 13485:2016-certified quality management system. MediTrac CMT has been installed in healthcare facilities across 48 U.S. states, Canada, the United Kingdom, Southeast Asia, and other international markets.

“We are extremely proud to achieve CE mark certification for MediTrac CMT,” said Dean W. Rivest, Chief Executive Officer of Omega Flex, Inc. and President and Chief Executive Officer of Flex-Trac, Inc. “Combined with the ISO 13485:2016 quality management system certification, this milestone highlights our dedication to producing safe, reliable, and innovative medical gas tubing solutions for healthcare systems around the world. We believe MediTrac CMT has the potential to serve as a scalable growth platform that extends our engineering expertise into new geographic regions and markets while leveraging our established manufacturing and quality systems.”
