Hurco (NASDAQ: HURC) boosts Q2 2026 sales 17% as orders surge 41%

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Hurco Companies, Inc. reported a smaller net loss as demand improved in its second fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2026. The company posted a net loss of $2.37 million, or $0.37 per diluted share, versus a loss of $4.06 million, or $0.62, a year earlier.

Sales and service fees rose 17% to $47.62 million, driven by strong growth in the Americas and Asia Pacific, partially offset by lower sales in Europe. Orders were particularly strong, increasing 41% to $61.65 million, with double‑digit growth in all regions and especially strong demand for higher‑performance 5‑axis and vertical milling machines.

Gross margin improved from 19% to 22%, helped by a richer product mix, pricing and modest tariff refunds, while operating loss narrowed to $0.80 million. For the first six months, sales were $90.49 million and net loss was $5.84 million, both improved from the prior year. Hurco ended the quarter with $50.06 million in cash and cash equivalents, $166.94 million of working capital and no debt, providing financial flexibility despite continued losses.

Insights

Industrial technology equity analyst

Losses are narrowing as orders and margins strengthen, but profitability is not yet restored.

Hurco showed clear top-line and order momentum in a historically weak machine-tool cycle. Q2 sales grew 17% to $47.62M, while orders jumped 41% to $61.65M, outpacing reported revenue and signaling a strengthening backlog, particularly in higher-performance 5-axis and vertical milling platforms.

Mix shift toward premium Hurco and Takumi machines, pricing discipline, and cost control lifted gross margin from 19% to 22% and reduced operating loss to $0.80M. However, the company still reported a Q2 net loss of $2.37M and a six‑month loss of $5.84M, underscoring that the recovery remains incomplete.

The balance sheet remains a key stabilizer, with $50.06M in cash and cash equivalents, no debt, and shareholders’ equity of $192.42M as of April 30, 2026. Future quarterly results will show whether the current order strength and improved mix can sustain margin gains long enough to return the business to consistent profitability.

Key Terms

gross margin, working capital, valuation allowance, deferred tax assets, +2 more

6 terms

gross margin financial

"That mix, combined with disciplined pricing and tighter operating costs, expanded gross margin by 300 basis points to 22%."

Gross margin is the difference between how much money a company makes from selling its products and how much it costs to produce them, expressed as a percentage of sales. It shows how efficiently a company is turning sales into profit before other expenses like marketing or salaries. Higher gross margin means the company keeps more money from each sale, which is a good sign of financial health.

working capital financial

"Working capital was $166,943,000 at April 30, 2026, compared to $173,055,000 at October 31, 2025."

Working capital is the money a business has available to cover its daily expenses, like paying bills and buying supplies. It’s like the cash in your wallet that helps you handle everyday costs; having enough ensures the business can operate smoothly without running into money shortages.

valuation allowance financial

"A full valuation allowance has been recorded against our Italian, U.S., and Chinese deferred tax assets as of April 30, 2026."

A valuation allowance is a reserve set aside to reduce the value of certain assets on a company's financial records when there is uncertainty about whether they will generate the expected benefits. It acts like a caution sign, indicating that some assets might not be fully recoverable or worth their recorded amount. This matters to investors because it provides a more realistic picture of a company's financial health and potential risks.

deferred tax assets financial

"A full valuation allowance has been recorded against our Italian, U.S., and Chinese deferred tax assets as of April 30, 2026."

An item on a company’s balance sheet showing tax benefits it can use later to reduce future tax bills — think of it as an IOU from the tax system for past losses or timing differences. It matters to investors because it can boost future cash flow and apparent value if the company expects profits ahead, but those benefits vanish if the company cannot generate taxable income and the asset must be reduced.

derivative assets financial

"Derivative assets | 132 | | 263"

Derivative assets are financial contracts whose value is tied to the price or performance of another asset, like a stock, bond, commodity, interest rate, or index — think of them as a bet or an insurance policy on how that underlying item will move. They matter to investors because they let you hedge risk, gain exposure with less capital, or speculate on price swings, but they can also magnify losses and create liquidity or counterparty risk if the other party can’t meet obligations.

operating lease liabilities financial

"Operating lease liabilities | 4,281 | | 4,374"

Long-term lease payments a company is legally committed to because it rents assets such as offices, factories, or equipment; under modern accounting rules these future rent obligations are recorded on the balance sheet as liabilities. Investors care because operating lease liabilities act like debt that drains future cash, affects measures of leverage and borrowing capacity, and can change profitability and valuation — think of them as a company’s large, ongoing rent payments that limit its financial flexibility.

HURCO REPORTS SECOND QUARTER RESULTS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2026

​

INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA – June 5, 2026 -- Hurco Companies, Inc. (Nasdaq: HURC) today reported results for the second fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2026. Hurco recorded a net loss of $2,372,000, or $0.37 per diluted share, for the second quarter of fiscal year 2026, compared to a net loss of $4,063,000, or $0.62 per diluted share, for the corresponding period in fiscal year 2025. For the first six months of fiscal year 2026, Hurco reported a net loss of $5,840,000, or $0.91 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $8,383,000, or $1.29 per diluted share, for the corresponding period in fiscal year 2025.

​

Sales and service fees for the second quarter of fiscal year 2026 were $47,618,000, an increase of $6,751,000, or 17%, compared to the corresponding prior year period, and included a favorable currency impact of $1,352,000, or 3%, when translating foreign sales to U.S. dollars for financial reporting purposes. Sales and service fees for the first six months of fiscal year 2026 were $90,486,000, an increase of $3,205,000, or 4%, compared to the corresponding prior year period, and included a favorable currency impact of $3,165,000, or 4%, when translating foreign sales to U.S. dollars for financial reporting purposes.

​

Greg Volovic, Chief Executive Officer, stated, “After more than two years of disciplined execution through one of the deepest machine tool downcycles in history, the second quarter produced the kind of results we have been working toward. Orders increased 41% year-over-year to $61.6 million, our strongest quarterly intake in many years, with broad-based order growth of 63% in the Americas, 66% in Asia Pacific, and 17% in Europe despite continued weakness in Germany. The composition of the demand in the second quarter is also encouraging. Customers are increasingly choosing our 5-axis and higher-performance vertical milling machines, reflecting the value of our investments in proprietary WinMax control technology, the Takumi platform, and automation. That mix, combined with disciplined pricing and tighter operating costs, expanded gross margin by 300 basis points to 22% and narrowed our net loss per share by 40% versus the prior-year quarter. We are not yet back to profitability, but the operating leverage we have built through this downturn is starting to show in our results. With just over $50 million in cash and cash equivalents, more efficient working capital levels, and no debt, we have the financial flexibility to participate substantially if these early signs of demand strength prove durable, and to weather continued volatility if they do not. We will continue to manage Hurco for long-term value.”

​

The following table sets forth net sales and service fees by geographic region for the second quarter and six months ended April 30, 2026, and 2025 (dollars in thousands):

​

​	​	​	​	​	​	​	​	​	​

Total	$47,618	$40,867	$6,751	17%	​	$90,486	$87,281	$3,205	4%

​

Sales in the Americas for the second quarter of fiscal year 2026 increased by 35%, compared to the corresponding period in fiscal year 2025, primarily due to increased shipments of Hurco, Takumi and Milltronics machines.  The increase in machine shipments was mostly attributable to increased shipments of Hurco 5-axis and larger, higher-performance vertical milling machines, Milltronics toolroom machines, and Takumi vertical milling machines.  Sales in the Americas for the first six months of fiscal year 2026 increased by 12%, compared to the corresponding period in fiscal year 2025, primarily due to increased shipments of Hurco 5-axis as well as larger, higher-performance vertical milling machines and Takumi vertical milling machines.

​

European sales for the second quarter of fiscal year 2026 decreased by 8%, compared to the corresponding period in fiscal year 2025, and included a favorable currency impact of 6%, when translating foreign sales to U.S. dollars for financial reporting purposes. European sales for the first six months of fiscal year 2026 decreased by 7%, compared to the corresponding period in fiscal year 2025, and included a favorable currency impact of 7%, when translating foreign sales to U.S. dollars for financial reporting purposes. The year-over-year decreases in European sales in both periods were primarily attributable to a decreased volume of shipments of Hurco machines and electro-mechanical components and accessories manufactured by our wholly-owned subsidiary in Italy, LCM Precision Technology S.r.l. (“LCM”), partially offset by an increased volume of shipments of Takumi 5-axis and vertical milling machines.

​

Asian Pacific sales for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal year 2026 increased by 81% and 20%, respectively, compared to the corresponding prior year periods, and included a favorable currency impact of 2% for each respective period, when translating foreign sales to U.S. dollars for financial reporting purposes. The year-over-year increases in Asian Pacific sales in both periods were primarily due to increased shipments in China and India of Hurco 5-axis and larger, higher-performance vertical milling machines, as well as Takumi 5-axis and vertical milling machines.

​

Orders for the second quarter of fiscal year 2026 were $61,647,000, an increase of $17,947,000, or 41%, compared to the corresponding period in fiscal year 2025, and included a favorable currency impact of $1,815,000, or 4%, when translating foreign orders to U.S. dollars. Orders for the first six months of fiscal year 2026 were $103,627,000, an increase of $19,842,000, or 24%, compared to the corresponding period in fiscal year 2025, and included a favorable currency impact of $3,366,000, or 4%, when translating foreign orders to U.S. dollars.

Total	$61,647	$43,700	$17,947	41%	​	$103,627	$83,785	$19,842	24%

​

Orders in the Americas for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal year 2026 increased by 63% and 42%, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in fiscal year 2025, primarily due to increased demand for Hurco 5-axis and larger, higher-performance vertical milling machines and for Takumi vertical milling machines.

​

European orders for the second quarter of fiscal year 2026 increased by 17%, compared to the corresponding prior year period, and included a favorable currency impact of 7%, when translating foreign orders to U.S. dollars. The increase in orders was driven primarily by increased customer demand for Hurco higher-performance milling machines in the United Kingdom and Germany and for Takumi 5-axis machines in France. European orders for the first six months of fiscal year 2026 increased by 8%, compared to the corresponding prior year period, and included a favorable currency impact 8%, when translating foreign orders to U.S. dollars. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to increased customer demand for Hurco and Takumi 5-axis machines and higher-performance vertical milling machines in the United Kingdom, Germany, and France and increased customer demand for electro-mechanical components and accessories manufactured by LCM, partially offset by a decreased volume of machine demand in Italy and Germany.

​

Asian Pacific orders for the second quarter of fiscal year 2026 increased by 66%, compared to the corresponding prior year period, and included a favorable currency impact of 4%, when translating foreign orders to U.S. dollars. The increase in orders was driven primarily by increased customer demand for Takumi machines across the Asia Pacific region where our customers are located, as well as for Hurco vertical milling machines in China. Asian Pacific orders for the first six months of fiscal year 2026 increased by 29%, compared to the corresponding prior year period, and included a favorable currency impact of 2%, when translating foreign orders to U.S. dollars. The year-over-year increase in Asian Pacific orders was driven primarily by increased customer demand for Takumi machines across the Asian Pacific region where our customers are located and for higher-performance Hurco vertical milling machines in India.

​

Gross profit for the second quarter of fiscal year 2026 was $10,331,000, or 22% of sales, compared to $7,829,000, or 19% of sales, for the corresponding prior year period. Gross profit for the first six months of fiscal year 2026 was $18,269,000, or 20% of sales, compared to $16,119,000, or 18% of sales, for the corresponding prior year period. The year-over-year increases in gross profit were primarily due to an increased volume of machine sales and a greater mix of higher-performance machine sales.  Although not significant factors, gross profit for the second quarter and first six months also benefited from price increases implemented in 2026 and tariff refund claims filed with the United States Customs and Border Protection, both of which were partially offset by incremental tariffs compared to prior year.

​

Selling, general, and administrative expenses for the second quarter of fiscal year 2026 were $11,130,000, or 23% of sales, compared to $10,897,000, or 27% of sales, in the corresponding fiscal year 2025 period, and included an unfavorable currency impact of $341,000, when translating foreign expenses to U.S. dollars for financial reporting purposes. Selling, general, and administrative expenses for the first six months of fiscal year 2026 were $22,238,000, or 25% of sales, compared to $21,279,000, or 24% of sales, in the corresponding fiscal year 2025 period, and included an unfavorable currency impact of $743,000, when translating foreign expenses to U.S. dollars for financial reporting purposes. The year-over-year increases in selling, general, and administrative expenses was primarily due to the unfavorable currency impact.

​

Income tax expense for the second quarter of fiscal year 2026 was $775,000, compared to $518,000 for the corresponding prior year period. The year-over-year change was primarily due to changes in geographic mix of income and loss that includes jurisdictions with differing tax rates. Income tax expense for the first six months of fiscal year 2026 was $1,236,000, compared to $2,559,000 for the corresponding prior year period. The year-over-year change was primarily due to a $1,232,000 valuation allowance recorded during the first quarter of 2025 on our Italian deferred tax assets and changes in geographic mix of income and loss that include jurisdictions with differing tax rates. A full valuation allowance has been recorded against our Italian, U.S., and Chinese deferred tax assets as of April 30, 2026, based on our conclusion that the deferred tax assets were not more likely than not to be realized.

​

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $50,055,000 at April 30, 2026, compared to $48,713,000 at October 31, 2025. Working capital was $166,943,000 at April 30, 2026, compared to $173,055,000 at October 31, 2025. The decrease in working capital was primarily driven by a decrease in inventories and an increase in customer deposits, partially offset by increases in cash and cash equivalents and prepaid and other assets.
