Universal Safety Products, Inc. Reports First-Quarter Results

Rhea-AI Summary

Universal Safety Products (NYSE American: UUU) reported its fiscal Q1 2025 results, with sales declining to $3.82 million from $4.60 million in the same period last year. The company posted a significant net income of $1.81 million ($0.78 per share), compared to a net loss of $442,206 ($0.19 per share) in Q1 2024.

The improved bottom line was primarily driven by a $2.82 million gain from the sale of its smoke and carbon monoxide alarm segment in May 2025.

The company plans to maintain operations in its wiring device and bath fan segments while exploring growth opportunities.

The balance sheet shows a strong cash position of $3.82 million, up from $321,539 year-over-year, and the company has eliminated its line of credit, which stood at $2.22 million last year.
