Insights
Revenue and cash flow improved, but a large litigation charge turned GAAP results negative.
NAPCO delivered solid top-line growth and margin expansion in fiscal Q3 2026. Net revenue grew 11.8% to $49.2M, and gross margin widened to 60.0%, helped by higher-margin recurring service revenue and better equipment margins.
A one-time litigation settlement cost of $16.0M drove a GAAP operating loss of $1.2M and net loss of $0.4M. Excluding this, Non-GAAP net income rose 36.9% to $13.9M and Adjusted EBITDA reached a record $15.8M for the quarter, with a 32.2% margin.
For the nine months ended March 31, 2026, revenue grew 11.9% to $146.5M, while GAAP net income declined to $25.3M due to the settlement. Strong free cash flow of $42.0M and cash of $114.4M supported continuation of the $0.15 per-share quarterly dividend.
