Northern Technologies International Corporation reported mixed Q2 2026 results. Net sales rose to $21.997M, up 15.3% year over year, driven by stronger ZERUST® industrial and oil & gas demand and modest Natur-Tec® growth.
Despite higher revenue and joint venture income, net (loss) income attributable to NTIC was $(35,323), or $(0.00) per diluted share, versus net income of $434,319 a year earlier. The prior-year quarter benefited from a one-time $1.14M Employee Retention Credit and related interest income, while current results reflect higher selling, administrative, and interest expenses.
For the first six months, net sales grew 12.1% to $45.306M, but net income attributable to NTIC fell to $202,496, or $0.02 per diluted share, from $0.10. Operating cash flow turned negative at $(1.38M), and borrowings on the revolving credit facility increased to $11.28M, though total equity improved to $77.7M.
Northern Technologies International Corporation reported a strong second quarter of fiscal 2026, with consolidated net sales rising 15.3% year over year to $21,996,785, driven by higher demand for ZERUST® and Natur-Tec® products. ZERUST® oil and gas net sales jumped 72.1% to a second-quarter record of $2,666,042, while ZERUST® industrial sales grew 11.2% to $13,967,414. Natur-Tec® product net sales increased 8.1% to $5,363,329.
Gross profit margin improved slightly to 35.7%, and operating income turned positive at $382,774 compared to a loss of $(332,933) a year ago. The company recorded a small net loss attributable to NTIC of $(35,323), versus net income of $434,319 in the prior-year quarter, mainly because last year included $1,140,000 of other income from an Employee Retention Credit. On a non-GAAP basis, adjusted net income was $70,460, or $0.01 per diluted share, versus a non-GAAP adjusted net loss of $(299,654), or $(0.03) per share.
For the first half of fiscal 2026, consolidated net sales grew 12.1% to $45,305,666, and non-GAAP adjusted net income improved to $414,062, or $0.04 per diluted share. Management highlighted broad-based growth, particularly in NTIC China, ZERUST® oil and gas, and Natur-Tec®, and expressed confidence in continued sales growth and improved profitability in the second half of fiscal 2026.
Northern Technologies International Corporation held its 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders on January 16, 2026. As of the November 18, 2025 record date, 9,480,688 shares of common stock were outstanding and entitled to vote, and holders of 6,264,094 shares, or 66.07% of those shares, were present in person or by proxy, establishing a quorum.
Stockholders voted on four proposals described in the company’s proxy statement. Eight director nominees, including Nancy E. Calderon, Sarah E. Kemp, and others, each received substantially more votes for than withheld, with over 4.84 million votes for each nominee and 1,379,285 broker non-votes. The proposals received strong overall support, with one proposal drawing 4,793,021 votes for versus 44,750 against, and another drawing 6,255,908 votes for.
On Proposal Three, an advisory vote on how often to hold future advisory votes on executive compensation, 4,389,578 votes favored a one-year frequency, compared with 57,309 for two years and 381,112 for three years.

Northern Technologies International Corporation reported higher sales but lower profit for the quarter ended November 30, 2025. Net sales rose 9.2% to $23.3 million, driven mainly by 11.9% growth in ZERUST® corrosion products and 2.2% growth in Natur-Tec® bioplastics. ZERUST® oil and gas revenue jumped 58.1%, helped by strong demand in Brazil.
Despite this, net income attributable to NTIC fell to $237,819, or $0.03 per diluted share, from $561,091, or $0.06 per share, as higher cost of goods sold, increased operating expenses, and higher interest expense offset the sales gains. Gross profit was $8.4 million and income before income taxes was $770,908.
The company highlighted a new three-year offshore oil and gas preservation contract in Brazil with an estimated total value of about R$70 million (US$13.1 million), expected to ramp through fiscal 2026 and run through calendar 2028.
