For the first six months, net sales grew 18% to $265.2 million and net earnings rose 76% to $22.5 million, or $3.14 per share, driven mainly by higher Defense segment shipments and tariff refunds in Housewares. Defense backlog reached $1.81 billion, expected to be fulfilled over 18–48 months.
Operating cash flow improved sharply to $44.1 million versus $1.5 million a year earlier, supporting capital spending and repayment of the revolving credit facility. Working capital increased to $324.6 million with a current ratio of 5.2 to 1. Management reported effective disclosure controls and no material litigation impact, but noted ongoing uncertainty around future U.S. tariff actions.
National Presto Industries reported higher second quarter 2026 results, with net sales of $146,596,000 and net earnings of $15,862,000, compared with $120,449,000 and $5,152,000 a year earlier. Earnings per share were $2.21 versus $0.72, on 7,167,000 weighted shares outstanding.

Management highlighted defense segment sales up $27.1 million, or 27.2%, and operating earnings up $4.9 million, or 33.5%, driven by increased backlog shipments. Housewares/Small Appliances sales fell $1.2 million, or 6.2%, due to Trump tariffs and order timing, though the segment earned $2.2 million of operating income helped by tariff refunds, while the Safety segment remained at a small loss.

National Presto Industries, Inc. updated its corporate governance and leadership and reported results from its recent annual stockholder meeting. The board amended and restated the company’s by-laws, effective immediately upon adoption.
Stockholders re-elected two directors to new three-year terms, ratified RSM US LLP as independent auditor for the year ending December 31, 2026, and approved executive compensation on an advisory basis. The company appointed Shane A. Straw, Sr. as Vice President of Engineering and adjusted its strategy for sourcing Housewares/Small Appliance products, focusing on placing new products outside China rather than relocating all existing production. New fire extinguishers and brackets in the Safety segment and new canners and a restyled heater in the Housewares/Small Appliance segment were also highlighted.
National Presto Industries reported mixed first-quarter 2026 results. Net sales rose to $118.6M from $103.6M, driven mainly by strong Defense segment shipments. Defense revenue increased to $99.6M, while Housewares/Small Appliances revenue fell to $18.5M as startup issues at a new warehouse limited shipments.
Despite higher sales, profitability slipped. Gross profit edged down to $17.5M and net earnings declined to $6.6M from $7.6M, with earnings per share falling to $0.93 from $1.07. Higher selling and general expenses, including increased corporate overhead and personnel costs, weighed on results, partly offset by a $1.7M gain on the sale of a Canton, Mississippi warehouse.
Cash flow and the balance sheet remained solid. Operating cash flow improved markedly to $31.3M, aided by collections on receivables, and the company ended the quarter with $6.5M in cash, no borrowings on its $50M credit line, working capital of $310.3M, and Defense contract backlog of about $1.84B expected to be fulfilled over 18 to 48 months.
