The Elmet Group Co. reported strong top-line growth but a GAAP loss for the quarter ended July 3, 2026. Revenue rose to $66.4 million from $49.1 million, an increase of over 35%, while gross profit margin expanded by more than 430 basis points. Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations grew 57.9% to $8.9 million, and backlog increased nearly 55% to a record $132 million, reflecting accelerating demand in Aerospace, Defense & Government markets.
Despite this, Elmet recorded a net loss from continuing operations of $4.5 million versus income of $2.1 million a year earlier, driven largely by much higher operating expenses, including $14.2 million of stock-based compensation and IPO-related corporate costs. Operating cash flow from continuing operations was a use of $7.6 million, influenced by a significant inventory build. The company strengthened its balance sheet with $125.4 million of net IPO proceeds, ending the period with $66.1 million in cash and reducing total debt, while converting to a C‑corporation structure following a January 2026 reorganization under common control.
The Elmet Group Co. reported higher sales but a swing to loss for the quarter ended July 3, 2026. Revenue rose to $66.4 million from $49.1 million a year earlier, and six‑month revenue increased to $122.4 million from $95.5 million. Despite this growth, higher operating expenses, including increased general and administrative and stock‑based compensation tied to the IPO, led to a quarterly net loss of $4.5 million and a six‑month net loss of $4.8 million, compared with net income of $1.2 million and $2.4 million in the prior‑year periods.
Liquidity and the balance sheet strengthened following the April 2026 initial public offering of 9,857,142 shares at $14.00 per share. Cash increased to $66.1 million from $1.8 million, while total assets reached $284.2 million. Total debt, including current portions, declined, and related‑party debt was eliminated. Inventories grew to $102.4 million, contributing to negative operating cash flow of $7.6 million for the first half of 2026, compared with positive $6.3 million a year earlier. Stockholders’ equity increased to $187.5 million, driven primarily by IPO proceeds.

Despite this operating strength, the company posted a small net loss of about $0.3 million, driven by a $3.8 million one-time tax expense associated with a corporate reorganization.

After quarter-end, Elmet completed an upsized IPO of approximately 9.9 million shares at $14.00 per share, generating $125.5 million in net proceeds, using $17.8 million to retire term debt and $8.3 million for stock appreciation rights, leaving about $99.4 million of new cash to fund growth, working capital, and general corporate purposes.
The Elmet Group Co. reported higher sales but a small quarterly loss as it transitions to life as a public company. Revenue rose to $56.0 million from $46.4 million, driven mainly by U.S. customers and a larger mix of long-term projects recognized over time.
Despite stronger gross profit, the company posted a net loss of $0.3 million versus prior-year profit of $1.2 million, largely due to a new $4.7 million income tax provision after converting from S-corp to C-corp status. Operating cash flow from continuing operations remained solid at $6.9 million, though down from $8.2 million.
Total assets increased to $187.2 million, supported by higher inventories and a new $3.1 million derivative asset from options on a vendor’s stock. After quarter-end, Elmet completed an IPO of 9.86 million shares at $14.00, raising $128.2 million in net proceeds to strengthen its balance sheet.
The Elmet Group Co. is changing its fiscal calendar from a traditional December 31 year-end to a 4-4-5 fiscal calendar, where each quarter has thirteen weeks in two four-week months and one five-week month. Under this approach, the fiscal year will now end on the Friday closest to December 31.
The first fiscal year under the new system runs from January 1, 2026 to January 1, 2027. Fiscal quarters ending April 3, 2026, July 3, 2026 and October 2, 2026 may not be fully comparable with prior-year quarters because they include a different number of days. The company states the change is meant to better align accounting operations with quarterly public reporting and improve comparability of performance, and that it will not affect previously issued financial statements or tax reporting.
