National Presto Industries, Inc. reported 2025 results showing strong growth in sales but weaker profitability. Consolidated sales rose by $115,296,000 (30%), driven mainly by the Defense segment, while net earnings fell 20% to $33,084,000 and earnings before income taxes declined 17% to $42,119,000.
Defense net sales increased 43% to $405,937,000, supported by large U.S. Army 40mm ammunition contracts and a Defense backlog that grew to about $1,747,809,000 as of December 31, 2025. Housewares/Small Appliance sales fell 7% to $95,604,000, and tariffs on goods shipped from the Orient after January 31, 2025, plus distribution center relocation costs, sharply reduced that segment’s gross profit.
The Safety segment remains startup in nature with limited revenues of $1,983,000 and negative margins. Cash from operations was a use of $9,137,000, reflecting higher inventories and receivables tied to Defense growth, while the company invested heavily in property, plant and equipment and drew on its revolving credit line. A March 1, 2025 cybersecurity incident caused temporary operational disruption but, after investigation, was found to have no material impact on financial condition or results. The board declared a regular dividend of $1.00 per share payable March 20, 2026; there was no extra dividend in 2025.
National Presto Industries director Randy F. Lieble sold 2,417 shares of common stock at $143.97 per share in an open-market transaction. The sale was made under a pre-arranged Rule 10b5-1 trading plan adopted on November 10, 2025. After the transaction, he holds 5,222 shares directly, plus 599 shares through the Lieble Family Trust and 978 shares in an IRA, indicating he retained a significant stake.
National Presto Industries reported strong top-line growth but lower profits for 2025. Net sales rose to $503.5 million from $388.2 million, a 29.7% increase, driven mainly by the Defense segment, where sales grew $121.9 million or 42.9% and operating earnings increased $15.5 million or 36.2%.
Net earnings fell to $33.1 million or $4.63 per share, down from $41.5 million or $5.82 per share, as Housewares/Small Appliance posted reduced sales and a significant operating loss tied to tariffs, cost pressures, and a distribution-center move. The Board declared a 2026 regular dividend of $1.00 per share with no extra dividend, set a dividend record date of March 9, 2026, and confirmed the annual meeting for May 19, 2026. The company also announced that long-time Vice President of Engineering Jeff Morgan will retire effective April 30, 2026.
