Kimball Electronics reported fiscal year 2026 net sales of $1,431.4 million, down from $1,486.7 million in 2025, reflecting lower automotive and industrial volumes and the divestiture of the Automation, Test & Measurement business. Despite lower sales, operating income increased to $66.1 million and operating margin improved to 4.6%, supported by higher gross margin and gains on disposal.
Net income rose to $27.9 million with diluted EPS of $1.13, compared with $16.98 million and $0.68, respectively, in 2025. Cash generated from operating activities was $72.3 million, down from $183.9 million, while year-end cash and equivalents were stable at about $89.6 million. The company repurchased 447,000 shares for $11.9 million.
For fiscal 2027, Kimball Electronics guides net sales of $1,535–$1,560 million, implying 7–9% growth, including approximately $60 million from Helvoet, with organic growth of 3–5%. Adjusted operating income is expected at 4.4–4.7% of net sales and capital expenditures of $50–$60 million.
Kimball Electronics entered into a definitive Share Purchase Agreement to acquire Helvoet Polymer Technologies B.V. and Helvoet Rubber & Plastics Technologies (India) Pvt. Ltd. for a cash purchase price of approximately €90 million, or about $103 million, subject to working capital adjustments.
About €1.8 million of the price is held in escrow to secure the seller’s obligations. The deal closed on July 1, 2026 and was funded with Kimball’s cash and existing credit lines. Helvoet generated approximately $56 million of revenue in calendar 2025 with an EBITDA margin in the mid-teens, and over 70% of revenue from medical customers. The purchase price represents roughly 9x estimated adjusted EBITDA for 2026 and is expected to be accretive to Kimball’s fiscal 2027 adjusted earnings, increasing sales in its medical vertical in the low double-digit range.
Kimball Electronics reported mixed results for the third quarter ended March 31, 2026. Net sales were $352.9 million, down 6% from the prior year, with automotive sales down 3% and medical and industrial each down 8%, partly against a prior-year non-recurring $24 million medical inventory sale.
