Insteel Industries reported mixed results for the quarter ended March 28, 2026. Net sales rose 7.5% to $172.7 million, driven by a 14.2% increase in average selling prices, but shipments fell 5.9% due to adverse weather and project delays.
Quarterly net earnings dropped 49.0% to $5.2 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, as gross margin compressed to 9.6% from 15.3% on higher raw material, manufacturing and freight costs. For the first half, sales grew 14.5% to $332.6 million and net earnings increased 13.3% to $12.8 million, reflecting stronger price spreads overall.
Operating cash flow fell to $4.4 million from $15.7 million as inventories and receivables increased, while cash ended at $15.1 million with no debt and shareholders’ equity of $364.5 million. The company paid a special dividend of $1.00 per share and continues to integrate its 2025 wire reinforcement acquisitions, expecting stronger shipments in the second half but noting ongoing cost and geopolitical risks.
Insteel Industries reported mixed results for its fiscal second quarter ended March 28, 2026. Net earnings fell to $5.2 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, down from $10.2 million, or $0.52 per share, a year earlier as profit margins narrowed. Net sales rose 7.5% to $172.7 million, driven by a 14.2% increase in average selling prices that more than offset a 5.9% decline in shipments largely attributed to severe winter weather.
Gross profit declined to $16.5 million and gross margin compressed to 9.6% from 15.3% due to reduced spreads between selling prices and raw material costs, lower volumes and higher operating costs. Operating activities generated $4.8 million of cash versus a use of $3.3 million in the prior-year quarter, helped by a much smaller working capital build. For the first six months of fiscal 2026, net earnings increased modestly to $12.8 million on net sales of $332.6 million, with slightly higher gross profit but a lower 10.4% gross margin.
Management cited winter weather disruptions, delayed (but not canceled) projects, elevated freight and energy costs, and high domestic wire rod prices relative to global levels as key pressures, while expressing optimism that nonresidential construction demand and seasonal trends will support stronger shipments later in the year. Insteel ended the quarter with $15.1 million of cash and no borrowings on its $100.0 million revolving credit facility.
