Insteel Industries reported a strong first quarter of fiscal 2026, with net sales rising to $159.9M, up 23.3% from $129.7M a year earlier. Growth was driven by an 18.8% increase in average selling prices and 3.8% higher shipments, supported by solid infrastructure and commercial construction demand and contributions from the 2024 EWP and OWP acquisitions.
Gross profit nearly doubled to $18.1M, or 11.3% of sales, compared with $9.5M and a 7.3% margin, mainly from better spreads over raw material costs and lower manufacturing costs. Net earnings jumped to $7.6M, or $0.39 per diluted share, from $1.1M or $0.06, helped by lower restructuring and acquisition costs despite higher SG&A.
Operating cash flow was a modest outflow of $0.7M, as a $34.5M inventory build more than offset earnings, while the company ended the quarter with $15.6M in cash, no debt, and $98.7M of available borrowing capacity on its $100M revolver. Insteel paid $1.03 per share in dividends, including a $1.00 special dividend, and repurchased 23,905 shares, while management maintains a positive outlook but notes ongoing steel import competition.
