Twin Disc (NASDAQ: TWIN) swings to profit as Q3 sales and margins rise
Twin Disc reported significantly stronger results for the quarter ended March 27, 2026. Net sales rose to $96.7 million from $81.2 million, helped by commercial marine, defense and land-based transmission demand and favorable currency. Gross margin improved to 28.1% from 26.7%.
Operating income increased to $5.8 million from $1.9 million, and net income attributable to shareholders was $3.3 million, compared with a $1.5 million loss a year earlier. Basic earnings per share were $0.23 versus a loss of $0.11. For the first three quarters, sales reached $266.9 million and EPS climbed to $1.79, aided by a large income tax valuation allowance release.
Positive
- Strong earnings turnaround: Q3 net sales rose to $96.7 million from $81.2 million and net income attributable to shareholders improved to $3.3 million from a $1.5 million loss, with year-to-date EPS increasing to $1.79 from a loss of $0.24.
- Margin and segment growth: Gross margin improved to 28.1% from 26.7%, supported by higher sales of marine and propulsion systems, land-based transmissions and industrial products across Europe, North America and Asia-Pacific.
Negative
- Higher leverage and interest burden: Credit-agreement debt increased to $45.1 million from $31.4 million, and quarterly interest expense rose to $0.79 million from $0.66 million, raising ongoing financing costs.
- Softer cash generation: Net cash provided by operating activities for the first three quarters fell to $2.34 million from $7.53 million, while capital expenditures increased to $10.31 million, pressuring free cash flow despite stronger earnings.
Insights
Twin Disc shows strong Q3 turnaround, boosted by tax benefits and segment growth.
Twin Disc delivered a 19.0% year-over-year net sales increase to $96.7 million, with broad-based strength in commercial marine, defense and land-based transmissions. Gross margin expanded to 28.1%, lifting operating income to $5.8 million from $1.9 million a year earlier.
For the first three quarters, net sales reached $266.9 million and net income attributable to shareholders was $25.2 million, versus a loss previously. A key driver is an income tax valuation allowance release, which created an $18.96 million tax benefit year-to-date, so part of the earnings improvement is non-recurring.
Leverage has risen: total credit-agreement debt increased to $45.1 million, and quarterly interest expense grew to $0.79 million. Operating cash flow for the three quarters declined to $2.34 million from $7.53 million as working capital absorbed cash. Subsequent filings may clarify how sustainable the current demand trends and margin levels prove to be as tax effects normalize.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA)
(UNAUDITED)
| A. | Basis of Presentation and Other Information |
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Twin Disc, Incorporated (the “Company”) pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and, in the opinion of the Company, include adjustments, consisting primarily of normal recurring items, necessary for a fair statement of results for each period. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such SEC rules and regulations. The Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for June 30, 2025. The prior year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Twin Disc, Incorporated and its wholly-owned domestic and foreign subsidiaries. The Company's reporting period ends on the last Friday of the quarterly calendar period. The Company's fiscal year ends on June 30, regardless of the day of the week on which June 30 falls. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated.
The condensed consolidated financial statements and information presented herein include the financial results of Kobelt Manufacturing Co. Ltd. (“Kobelt”). On February 14, 2025, the Company completed the acquisition of
Recently Issued Not Yet Adopted Accounting Standards
In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2024-03, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures” (“ASU 2024-03”) to expand expense disclosures by requiring disaggregated disclosure of certain income statement expense line items, including those that contain purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation and amortization. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, or the Company’s fiscal 2028, and subsequent interim periods, with early adoption permitted. The amendments should be applied prospectively, but retrospective application is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the requirements on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In December 2023, the FASB issued guidance ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”), which includes requirements that an entity disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that are greater than five percent of the amount computed by multiplying pretax income (or loss) by the applicable statutory income rate. The standard also requires that entities disclose income (or loss) from continuing operations before income tax expense (or benefit) and income tax expense (or benefit) disaggregated between domestic and foreign. This change is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company will adopt the guidance for its 2026 annual report filed on Form 10-K, which will result in additional disclosures related to income tax but not impact the Company’s results of operations or financial position.
In November 2023, the FASB issued guidance ASU 2023-07, "Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures," which is intended to improve reportable segment disclosures, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. In addition, the amendments enhance interim disclosure requirements, clarify circumstances in which an entity can disclose multiple segment measures of profit or loss, provide new segment disclosure requirements for entities with a single reportable segment and contain other disclosure requirements. The Company adopted the new annual disclosures as required for fiscal 2025 and adopted the interim disclosures as required beginning with the first quarter of fiscal 2026.
Special Note Regarding Smaller Reporting Company Status
Under SEC Release 33-10513; 34-83550, Amendments to Smaller Reporting Company Definition, the Company qualifies as a smaller reporting company and accordingly, it has scaled some of its disclosures of financial and non-financial information in this quarterly report. The Company will continue to determine whether to provide additional scaled disclosures of financial or non-financial information in future quarterly reports, annual reports and/or proxy statements if it remains a smaller reporting company under SEC rules.

Contract Assets and Contract Liabilitites |
The Company reported the following contract assets and liabilities, which are presented within trade accounts receivable, net, other current assets, and accrued liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Deferred revenue represents billings in excess of cost based on milestone billings in the contract.

| D. | Warranty |
The Company engages in extensive product quality programs and processes, including actively monitoring and evaluating the quality of its suppliers. However, its warranty obligation is affected by product failure rates, the number of units affected by the failure and the expense involved in satisfactorily addressing the situation. The warranty reserve is established based on our best estimate of the amounts necessary to settle future and existing claims on products sold as of the balance sheet date. When evaluating the adequacy of the reserve for warranty costs, management takes into consideration the term of the warranty coverage, historical claim rates and costs of repair, knowledge of the type and volume of new products and economic trends. While we believe the warranty reserve is adequate and that the judgment applied is appropriate, such amounts estimated to be due and payable in the future could differ materially from what actually transpires. The following is a listing of the activity in the warranty reserve as of March 27, 2026 and June 30, 2025:

| E. | Contingencies |
The Company is involved in litigation of which the ultimate outcome and liability to the Company, if any, is not presently determinable. Management believes that final disposition of such litigation will not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
| F. | Business Segments |
The Company and its subsidiaries are engaged in the manufacture and sale of marine and heavy duty off-highway power transmission equipment. Principal products include marine transmissions, azimuth drives, surface drives, propellers and boat management systems, as well as power-shift transmissions, hydraulic torque converters, power take-offs, industrial clutches and controls systems. The Company sells to both domestic and foreign customers in a variety of market areas, principally pleasure craft, commercial and military marine markets, energy and natural resources, government, and industrial markets.
The Company has two reportable segments: manufacturing and distribution. Its segment structure reflects the way the chief operating decision-maker (“CODM”) makes operating decisions and manages the growth and profitability of the business. It also corresponds with the CODM’s approach of allocating resources and assessing the financial performance of its segments. The Company’s CODM is the Chief Executive Officer, who reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis. The accounting practices of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. Transfers among segments are at established inter-company selling prices. The CODM evaluates the performance of its segments based on net sales, gross profit, operating income (loss), and net income (loss).

| G. | Stock-Based Compensation |
In the first quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company adopted the Twin Disc, Incorporated Amended and Restated 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Omnibus Plan”), which was subsequently approved by the Company’s shareholders. The Omnibus Plan amended and restated the Twin Disc, Incorporated 2021 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2021 LTI Plan”), and effectively replaced the Twin Disc, Incorporated 2020 Stock Incentive Plan for Non-Employee Directors (the “2020 Directors' Plan”). Benefits under the Omnibus Plan may be granted, awarded or paid in any one or a combination of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, cash-settled restricted stock units, performance stock awards, performance stock unit awards, performance unit awards, and dividend equivalent awards. The Omnibus Plan is designed to benefit key employees (including officers) of the Company and its subsidiaries, as well as non-employee directors and consultants of the Company.
There is reserved for issuance under the Plan an aggregate of

There were
Restricted Stock Awards (“RS”)
The Company has unvested RS awards outstanding that will vest if certain service conditions are fulfilled. The fair value of the RS grants is recorded as compensation expense over the vesting period, which is generally 1 to 3 years. During the first three quarters of fiscal 2026 and 2025, the Company granted
Restricted Stock Unit Awards (“RSU”)
The RSUs entitle an individual to shares of common stock of the Company or cash in lieu of shares of Company common stock if specific terms and conditions or restrictions are met through a specified date, generally three years from the date of grant or when performance conditions have been met. The fair value of the RSUs (on the date of grant) is recorded as compensation expense over the vesting period. During the first three quarters of fiscal 2026 and 2025, the Company granted

| I. | Income Taxes |
Accounting policies for interim reporting require the Company to adjust its effective tax rate each quarter to be consistent with the estimated Annual Effective Tax Rate (AETR). Under this effective tax rate methodology, the Company applies an estimated annual income tax rate to its year-to-date ordinary earnings to derive its income tax provision each quarter. To calculate its AETR, an entity must estimate its ordinary income or loss and the related tax expense or benefit for its full fiscal year. In situations in which an entity is in a loss position and recognizes a full valuation allowance, the guidance in ASC 740-270-30-36a applies. The Company maintains valuation allowances when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. In determining whether a valuation allowance is required, the Company takes into account such factors as prior earnings history, expected future earnings, carry-back and carry-forward periods, and tax strategies that could potentially enhance the likelihood of realization of a deferred tax asset. In addition, all other available positive and negative evidence is taken into consideration, including impacts of tax reform.
The Company has evaluated the realizability of deferred tax assets and concluded that the U.S. and state valuation allowance is no longer required and was released December 26, 2025. The Company is expected to be in a cumulative three year income position at the end of the year, and expects to be profitable in future periods. This release relates to both projections of future income and a significant tax planning action for the current year which constitutes a significant unusual or infrequently occurring tax only item, the tax effects of which have been excluded from the estimated AETR as per ASC 740-270. The Company recognized $
The Company continues to maintain a valuation allowance in an immaterial foreign jurisdiction, due to continued losses and uncertain future earnings. Permanent differences continue to fluctuate and are significant compared to projected ordinary income. Therefore, per ASC guidance, the immaterial foreign jurisdiction was removed from the annualized effective rate calculation. Because of the foreign valuation allowance, the entity may only recognize tax expense / benefit recorded for ASC 740-10 adjustments.

Credit Agreement Debt:
Current Credit Agreement
On February 14, 2025, the Company entered into an amended and restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Bank of Montreal (the “Bank”) that refinances and replaces the credit agreement dated as of June 29, 2018, as amended, between the Company and BMO Harris Bank, N.A. (the “Prior Credit Agreement”). There were no significant financing costs associated with the credit agreement.
Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Bank made a Term Loan to the Company in the principal amount of $
In addition, the Company may, from time to time prior to the maturity date, enter into Revolving Loans in amounts not to exceed, in the aggregate and subject to a Borrowing Base, $
The Company used the increased borrowing capacity under the Credit Agreement to help finance its acquisition of Kobelt. Kobelt is included as a Borrower under the Credit Agreement, and may borrow directly under the Credit Agreement up to the lesser of the Revolving Credit Commitment or $
Interest rates under the Credit Agreement are based on the secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”), the euro interbank offered rate (the “EURIBO Rate”), or the Canadian Overnight Repo Rate (the “CORRA”). Loans under the Credit Agreement are designated as either as “SOFR Loans,” which accrue interest at an Adjusted Term SOFR plus an Applicable Margin; “Eurodollar Loans,” which accrue interest at the EURIBO Rate plus an Applicable Margin; “Term CORRA Loans,” which accrue interest at an Adjusted Term CORRA plus an Applicable Margin; “Daily Compounded CORRA Loans,” which accrue interest at a Daily Compounded CORRA plus an Applicable Margin; or Canadian Prime Rate Loans,” which accrue interest at the Canadian Prime Rate plus an Applicable Margin. The Applicable Margins are between

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Bank may take the following actions upon written notice to the Company: (1) terminate its remaining obligations under the Credit Agreement; (2) declare all amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement to be immediately due and payable; and (3) demand the Company to immediately Cash Collateralize L/C Obligations in an amount equal to
Prior Credit Agreement
The Prior Credit Agreement, which was replaced by the Credit Agreement on February 14, 2025, provided for the assignment and assumption of the previously existing loans under a 2016 credit agreement between the Company and Bank of Montreal (as amended, the “2016 Credit Agreement”) into a term loan (the “Prior Term Loan”) and revolving credit loans (each a “Prior Revolving Loan” and, collectively, the “Prior Revolving Loans,” and, together with the Prior Term Loan, the “Prior Loans”). Pursuant to the Prior Credit Agreement, BMO agreed to make the Prior Term Loan to the Company in a principal amount not to exceed $
Under the Prior Credit Agreement as amended, interest rates were based on either the SOFR or the EURIBO Rate. Prior Loans were designated either as “SOFR Loans,” which accrued interest at an Adjusted Term SOFR plus an Applicable Margin, or “Eurodollar Loans,” which accrued interest at the EURIBO Rate plus an Applicable Margin. Amounts drawn on a Letter of Credit that were not timely reimbursed to the Bank bore interest at a Base Rate plus an Applicable Margin. The Company also paid a commitment fee on the average daily Unused Revolving Credit Commitment equal to an Applicable Margin. Immediately prior to February 14, 2025, the Applicable Margins were between
The Prior Credit Agreement, as amended, required the Company to meet certain financial covenants. Specifically, the Company’s Total Funded Debt to EBITDA ratio could not exceed
Borrowings under the Prior Credit Agreement were secured by substantially all of the Company’s personal property, including accounts receivable, inventory, machinery and equipment, and intellectual property. The Company had also pledged
The Company had also entered into a Deposit Account Control Agreement with the Bank, reflecting the Bank’s security interest in deposit accounts the Company maintains with the Bank. The Bank could not provide a notice of exclusive control of a deposit account (thereby obtaining exclusive control of the account) prior to the occurrence or existence of a Default or an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement or otherwise upon the occurrence or existence of an event or condition that would, but for the passage of time or the giving of notice, constitute a Default or an Event of Default under the Prior Credit Agreement.
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, BMO could take the following actions upon written notice to the Company: (1) terminate its remaining obligations under the Prior Credit Agreement; (2) declare all amounts outstanding under the Prior Credit Agreement to be immediately due and payable; and (3) demand the Company to immediately Cash Collateralize L/C Obligations in an amount equal to
On April 1, 2024, the Company had entered into Amendment No. 10 to Prior Credit Agreement (the “Tenth Amendment”) that amended and extended the Prior Credit Agreement. The Tenth Amendment increased the Prior Revolving Credit Commitment from $
The Company used the increased borrowing capacity under the Tenth Amendment to help finance its acquisition of Katsa by TD Finland Holding Oy, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The Tenth Amendment specifically permitted the Company to use Prior Revolving Loans for the Katsa acquisition. In addition, in determining whether the Company is in compliance with its Total Funded Debt/EBITDA Ratio, the Company’s EBITDA included transaction expenses of up to $
The Tenth Amendment also extended the Prior Credit Agreement through April 1, 2027 and extended the maturity date of the Prior Term Loan and the Prior Term Loan Commitment Date to April 1, 2027.
The Tenth Amendment also increased the Applicable Margins under the Prior Credit Agreement for purposes of determining interest rates on Prior Revolving Loans, Letters of Credit, Prior Term Loans, and the Prior Unused Revolving Credit Commitment. Prior to the Tenth Amendment, the Applicable Margins were between
The Company's credit agreement with its lender is scheduled to expire on April 1, 2027. If the Company is unable to refinance or negotiate an extension of the maturity date, this could present an operating risk.
The Company remains in compliance with its liquidity and other covenants.
As of March 27, 2026, current maturities include $

The Company’s borrowings described above approximate fair value at March 27, 2026 and June 30, 2025. If measured at fair value in the financial statements, long-term debt (including the current portion) would be classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
The Company’s interest rate swap matured on March 4, 2026, and was not renewed. The Company had no interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges outstanding at March 27, 2026. The maturity did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company designated its euro denominated Revolving Loan as a net investment hedge to mitigate the risk of variability in its euro denominated net investments in wholly-owned foreign companies. Effective upon the designation, all changes in the fair value of the euro revolver are reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) along with the foreign currency translation adjustments on those foreign investments. This net investment hedge is included in the disclosures in Note O, Derivative Financial Instruments.

| M. | Earnings Per Share |
The Company calculates basic earnings per share (“EPS”) based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, while the calculation of diluted EPS includes the dilutive effect of potential common shares outstanding during the period. The calculation of diluted EPS excludes all potential common shares if their inclusion would have an anti-dilutive effect. Certain restricted stock award recipients have a non-forfeitable right to receive dividends declared by the Company and are therefore included in computing EPS pursuant to the two-class method.
The components of basic and diluted EPS were as follows:

Lease Liabilities |
The Company leases certain office and warehouse space, as well as production and office equipment.
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at contract inception. The lease term begins upon lease commencement, which is when the Company takes possession of the asset, and may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that such options will be exercised. As its lease agreements typically do not provide an implicit rate, the Company primarily uses an incremental borrowing rate based upon the information available at lease commencement. In determining the incremental borrowing rate, the Company considers its current borrowing rate, the term of the lease, and the economic environments where the lease activity is concentrated. Some of the Company’s leases contain non-lease components (e.g., common area, other maintenance costs, etc.) that relate to the lease components of the agreement. Non-lease components and the lease components to which they relate are accounted for as a single lease component.
The following table provides a summary of leases recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

| O. | Derivative Financial Instruments |
From time to time, the Company enters into derivative instruments to manage volatility arising from risks relating to interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. The Company does not purchase, hold or sell derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. The Company’s practice is to terminate derivative transactions if the underlying asset or liability matures or is sold or terminated, or if it determines the underlying forecasted transaction is no longer probable of occurring.
The Company reports all derivative instruments on its condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value and establishes criteria for designation and effectiveness of transactions entered into for hedging purposes.
Interest Rate Swap Contracts
During the quarter, the Company had one interest rate swap contract that matured on March 4, 2026, with a notional amount of $
The primary purpose of the Company’s cash flow hedging activities is to manage the potential changes in value associated with interest payments on the Company’s SOFR-based indebtedness. The Company records gains and losses on interest rate swap contracts qualifying as cash flow hedges in accumulated other comprehensive loss to the extent that these hedges are effective and until the Company recognizes the underlying transactions in net earnings, at which time these gains and losses are recognized in interest expense on its condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Cash flows from derivative financial instruments are classified as cash flows from financing activities on the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. These contracts generally have original maturities of greater than twelve months.
Net unrealized after-tax gain (loss) related to cash flow hedging activities that were included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) were $
Derivatives Designated as Net Investment Hedges
The Company is exposed to foreign currency exchange risk related to its investment in net assets in foreign countries. As discussed in Note K, Long-term Debt, during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company designated its euro denominated Revolving Loan, with a notional amount of €13,000, as a net investment hedge to mitigate the risk of variability in its euro denominated net investments in wholly-owned foreign subsidiaries. All changes in the fair value of the euro revolver were then recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) along with the foreign currency translation adjustments on those foreign investments. Net unrealized after-tax gains (loss) related to net investment hedging activities that were included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) were $

Management Discussion and Analysis |
In the financial review that follows, we discuss our results of operations, financial condition and certain other information. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 27, 2026, and related notes, as reported in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.
Some of the statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are “forward-looking statements” as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include the Company’s description of plans and objectives for future operations and assumptions behind those plans. The words “anticipates,” “believes,” “intends,” “estimates,” and “expects,” or similar anticipatory expressions, usually identify forward-looking statements. In addition, goals established by the Company should not be viewed as guarantees or promises of future performance. There can be no assurance the Company will be successful in achieving its goals.
In addition to the assumptions and information referred to specifically in the forward-looking statements, other factors, including but not limited to those factors discussed under Item 1A, Risk Factors, of the Company’s Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for June 30, 2025, as supplemented in this Quarterly Report, could cause actual results to be materially different from what is expressed or implied in any forward-looking statement.

Comparison of the Third Quarter of Fiscal 2026 with the Third Quarter of Fiscal 2025
Net sales for the third quarter increased 19.0%, or $15.5 million, to $96.7 million from $81.2 million in the same quarter a year ago. Currency translation had a favorable impact on third quarter fiscal 2026 sales compared to the third quarter of the prior year totaling $7.5 million primarily due to the strengthening of the euro against the U.S. dollar. The remaining organic increase of $8.0 million (9.8%) reflects strength across most of the Company’s markets including commercial marine, global defense and land-based transmission. Global sales of marine and propulsion products were up 20.0% compared with the prior year, as improved commercial marine demand in Asia combined with continued strength in global demand for Veth propulsion products. Shipments of off-highway transmission products increased by 22.2%, with improved ARFF shipments in the quarter following some delays in the second fiscal quarter. Shipments of industrial products improved by 15.2% as demand for the Katsa product continues to grow, along with the favorable impact from the Kobelt acquisition. The European region saw a significant increase in revenue ($7.4 million or 21.3%) thanks primarily to strong regional demand for the Veth and Katsa products. Sales into North America increased 33.7%, or $7.3 million, driven by improved commercial marine and transmission shipments, along with the addition of Kobelt. The Asia Pacific region increased 9.0%, or $1.6 million, on improved demand for commercial marine transmissions in the region.
Sales at our manufacturing segment increased 15.5%, or $11.0 million, versus the same quarter last year. The Company’s new acquisition, Kobelt, in Canada contributed $2.2 million of incremental revenue. The U.S. manufacturing operations experienced an 8.0%, or $2.3 million, increase in sales versus the third fiscal quarter of 2025, with a recovery in shipments of ARFF products impacted by tariff driven delays in the second quarter. The Company’s operation in the Netherlands saw a slight decrease in revenue of $1.1 million (4.7%) compared to the third fiscal quarter of 2025, primarily due to timing of shipments of projects. The Company’s Belgian operation saw a decrease compared to the prior year third quarter (10.7% or $0.6 million), with weaker demand for its marine transmission products due in part to the domestic tariff structure. The Company’s Italian manufacturing operation was up $0.7 million (16.0%) compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2025, due primarily to stronger European demand for industrial and commercial marine products. The Company’s operation in Finland saw revenue increase 86.2% ($6.1 million), with strong demand for defense related products in the region. The Company’s Swiss manufacturing operation, which supplies customized propellers for the global mega yacht and patrol boat markets, was up $1.3 million (94.0%) compared to the prior year third quarter.
Our distribution segment experienced an increase in sales of $2.5 million (8.3%) in the third quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2025. The Company’s Asian distribution operations in Singapore, China and Japan were up 22.2% or $2.7 million from the prior year on improved demand for commercial marine transmissions and oil and gas transmissions for China. The Company’s North America distribution operation saw a decrease ($0.3 million or 6.0%), negatively impacted by the existing tariff structure and related impact on goods coming from European manufacturing operations. The Company’s European distribution operation saw a decline ($1.0 million or 16.4%) on weaker shipments of commercial marine projects. The Company’s distribution operation in Australia and New Zealand, which provides boat accessories, propulsion and marine transmission systems for the pleasure craft market, saw an increase in revenue of 16.7% from the prior year third fiscal quarter, primarily due to improved pleasure craft demand.
Gross profit as a percentage of sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2026 improved to 28.1%, compared to 26.7% for the same period last year. The current quarter was impacted by a positive volume impact and the positive impact of cost initiatives, offsetting a less favorable product mix and the impact of margin dilution resulting from the invoicing of tariffs..
For the fiscal 2026 third quarter, marketing, engineering and administrative (“ME&A”) expenses, as a percentage of sales, were 21.7%, compared to 24.0% for the fiscal 2025 third quarter. ME&A expenses increased $1.5 million (7.6%) over the same period last fiscal year. The increase in ME&A spending for the quarter was comprised of the addition of Kobelt ($0.3 million) and a foreign currency impact ($1.0 million), along with a general inflationary impact offset by cost savings initiatives.
Interest expense was up $0.1 million to $0.8 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2026, with a higher average outstanding revolver balance following the Katsa and Kobelt acquisitions.
Other expense (benefit) of $(0.3) million for the third fiscal quarter was primarily attributable to a currency gain ($1.0 million), partially offset by pension amortization expense ($0.7 million).
The fiscal 2026 third quarter effective tax rate was 34.1% compared to (407.9%) in the prior fiscal year third quarter. The full domestic valuation allowance in place during fiscal 2025 is the primary cause of the prior year rate. The current year rate was primarily impacted by the mix of foreign earnings by jurisdiction.
Comparison of the First Nine Months of Fiscal 2026 with the First Nine Months of Fiscal 2025
Net sales for the first nine months increased 9.3%, or $22.8 million, to $266.9 million from $244.1 million in the same period a year ago. The acquisition of Kobelt, completed in the third quarter of fiscal 2025, contributed $8.7 million of additional revenue in the first nine months. Currency translation had a favorable impact of $14.9 million on revenue for the first nine months of fiscal 2026 sales compared to the same period of the prior year due to the strengthening of the euro against the U.S. dollar. The remaining decrease of $0.8 million reflects continued growth in demand for the company’s Veth propulsion systems, offset by weakness in global demand for commercial marine products through the first half of the fiscal year. Global sales of marine and propulsion products improved 10.8% from the prior year, driven by strong demand for the Veth product and a third quarter recovery in commercial marine demand. Shipments of industrial products improved by 16.8%, driven by the addition of Katsa and Kobelt. Shipments of off-highway transmission products improved by 4.9%, with recovery in ARFF shipments that were delayed in the previous quarter. The European region saw a significant increase in revenue ($12.5 million or 12.4%) thanks primarily to growing demand for the Veth and Katsa products in the region. Sales into North America increased 29.1%, or $18.2 million, on improved industrial and commercial marine shipments in the second and third quarters. The Asia Pacific region decreased 10.70%, or $5.8 million, on weaker demand for commercial marine and oil and gas transmissions in the region during the first half of the fiscal year.
Sales at our manufacturing segment increased 12.9%, versus the same period last year. The Company’s new acquisition, Kobelt, in Canada contributed $8.5 million of incremental revenue. The U.S. manufacturing operations experienced a 1.5%, or $1.3 million, decline in sales versus the first nine months of fiscal 2025, with tariff concerns creating a drag on shipments. The Company’s operation in the Netherlands saw increased revenue of $7.4 million (11.5%) compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2025, which includes a favorable currency impact, as this operation continues to experience record demand for its propulsion systems and has begun to increase capacity to satisfy the growing demand. The Company’s Belgian operation saw a decrease compared to the prior year first nine months (14.4% or $2.3 million), with weaker US demand for its marine transmission products, impacted by tariffs. The Company’s Italian manufacturing operation was up $3.9 million (33.6%) compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2025, due primarily to stronger European demand for industrial and commercial marine products. The Company’s operation in Finland saw revenue increase 34.1% ($9.0 million), with improving demand for defense related products in the region. The Company’s Swiss manufacturing operation, which supplies customized propellers for the global mega yacht and patrol boat markets, was up $2.3 million (51.9%) compared to the prior year first nine months.
Our distribution segment experienced a decrease in sales of $15.7 million (16.4%) in the first nine months of fiscal 2026 compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2025. The Company’s Asian distribution operations in Singapore, China and Japan were down 15.6% or $6.3 million from the prior year on weaker commercial marine activity in the region, along with reduced demand for oilfield transmissions into China. The Company’s North America distribution operation saw a decrease ($4.4 million or 27.1%) on softening in North American demand for European manufactured product, impacted by the current tariff structure. The Company’s European distribution operation saw a decrease ($5.4 million or 30.4%) on soft demand for commercial marine projects in the region. The Company’s distribution operation in Australia and New Zealand, which provides boat accessories, propulsion and marine transmission systems for the pleasure craft market, saw an increase in revenue of 1.9% from the prior year first nine months, primarily due to improving pleasure craft demand along with a favorable currency impact.
Gross profit as a percentage of sales for the first nine months of fiscal 2026 improved to 27.1%, compared to 25.7% for the same period last year. The prior year includes the impact of a non-cash inventory write-down of $1.6 million. This write-down reflected the results of a product rationalization exercise of the Company’s industrial product line following the acquisition of Katsa. Excluding this adjustment, the fiscal 2025 gross profit percentage was 26.3%. The improvement in gross profit percentage versus the prior year first nine months is attributed to the increased volume, operational execution at our Veth operation and successful margin improvement initiatives, partially offset by margin dilution resulting from the invoicing of tariff charges.
For the fiscal 2026 first nine months, marketing, engineering and administrative (“ME&A”) expenses, as a percentage of sales, were 23.3%, compared to 23.7% for the same period of fiscal 2025. ME&A expenses increased $4.5 million (7.8%) over the same period last fiscal year. The increase in ME&A spending for the first nine months was comprised of the addition of Kobelt ($1.4 million), a foreign currency translation impact ($2.0 million), and general inflationary increases partially offset by the favorable impact of savings initiatives.
Interest expense was up $0.6 million to $2.4 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2026, with a higher average outstanding revolver balance following the Katsa and Kobelt acquisitions.
Other expense of $1.2 million for the first nine months was primarily attributable to pension amortization expense ($2.1 million), partially offset by a currency gain ($0.9 million).
The fiscal 2026 first nine-month effective tax rate was (284.5%) compared to 1,469.0% in the prior fiscal year first nine months. The reversal of the full domestic valuation allowance in the current year explains the significant fluctuation in the effective tax rate.
Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
Comparison between March 27, 2026 and June 30, 2025
As of March 27, 2026, the Company had net working capital of $136.1 million, which represents an increase of $14.3 million, or 11.7%, from the net working capital of $121.8 million as of June 30, 2025.
Cash of $16.1 million as of March 27, 2026 was unchanged from June 30, 2025. As of March 27, 2026, the majority of the cash was at the Company’s overseas operations in Europe ($4.6 million) and Asia-Pacific ($10.6 million).
Trade receivables of $64.1 million were up $5.1 million, or 8.7%, when compared to last fiscal year-end. The impact of foreign currency translation was a reduction of $1.0 million versus June 30, 2025. As a percent of sales, trade receivables finished at 66.3% in the third quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to 70.5% for the comparable period in fiscal 2025 and 61.0% for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025.
Inventories increased by $8.4 million, or 5.5%, versus June 30, 2025 to $160.3 million. The impact of foreign currency translation was to reduce inventory by $1.9 million versus June 30, 2025. The largest increase came at our operations in the Netherlands ($5.4 million) in support of growing backlog for the Veth product. The Singapore distribution entity experienced a $1.4 million increase primarily related to customer delays of deliveries on oilfield transmissions into China. Our operation in Finland also experienced an increase ($1.8 million or 12.8%) on strong demand for industrial products including defense applications. The global operations team is focused on driving inventory improvements as we close out the fiscal year. On a consolidated basis, as of March 27, 2026, the Company’s backlog of orders to be shipped over the next six months grew to $179.5 million, compared to $150.5 million at June 30, 2025 and $133.7 million at March 28, 2025. The increase in backlog since June 30, 2025 ($29.0 million) is largely reflective of strong market conditions for the Veth product and increasing global defense spending. As a percentage of six-month backlog, inventory has decreased from 99% at June 30, 2025 to 89% at March 28, 2025.
Net property, plant and equipment increased $0.4 million (1.4%) to $70.0 million versus $69.6 million at June 30, 2025. The Company had capital spending of $10.2 million in the first nine months. This increase was partially offset by depreciation of $8.5 million and a currency driven decrease of $0.7 million. Capital spending occurring in the first nine months was primarily related to replacement capital, along with capital to drive growth and operating efficiencies. In total, the Company expects to invest between $13 and $16 million in capital assets in fiscal 2026. The Company continues to review its capital plans based on overall market conditions and availability of capital and may make changes to its capital plans accordingly. The Company’s capital program is focused on modernizing key core manufacturing, assembly and testing processes and improving efficiencies at its facilities around the world.
Accounts payable as of March 27, 2026 of $36.5 million was down $2.2 million, or 5.7%, from June 30, 2025. The impact of foreign currency translation was to decrease accounts payable by $0.7 million versus June 30, 2025. The remaining decrease is related to the normal timing of purchasing activity and related payments.
Total borrowings and long-term debt as of March 27, 2026 increased $13.6 million to $45.0 million versus $31.4 million at June 30, 2025. During the first nine months, the Company reported negative free cash flow of $8.0 million (defined as operating cash flow less acquisitions of fixed assets), driven by an increase to inventory and capital spending. The Company ended the quarter with total debt, net of cash, of $29.0 million, compared to $15.3 million at June 30, 2025, for a net degradation of $13.7 million.
Total equity increased $22.1 million, or 13.5%, to $186.5 million as of March 27, 2026. The net earnings during the first nine months increased equity by $25.2 million, while other decreases related to a favorable foreign currency translation of $4.6 million and dividends paid to shareholders of $1.7 million. The net change in common stock and treasury stock resulting from the accounting for stock-based compensation increased equity by $0.8 million. The net remaining increase in equity of $2.4 million primarily represents the amortization of benefit plan adjustments on the Company’s defined benefit pension plans, an unrealized loss on cash flow hedges and an increase to a noncontrolling interest.
On February 14, 2025, the Company entered into an amended and restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Bank of Montreal (the “Bank”) that refinances and replaces the credit agreement dated as of June 29, 2018, as amended, between the Company and BMO Harris Bank, N.A. (the “Prior Credit Agreement”).
Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Bank made a Term Loan to the Company in the principal amount of $15.0 million, consisting of an assignment of a term loan under the Prior Credit Agreement from BMO to the Bank with a remaining principal of $8.5 million and an additional advance of $6.5 million. The maturity date of the Term Loan is April 1, 2027, and the Company is required to make principal installments on the Term Loan of at least $0.75 million per quarter.
In addition, the Company may, from time to time prior to the maturity date, enter into Revolving Loans in amounts not to exceed, in the aggregate and subject to a Borrowing Base, $50.0 million (the “Revolving Credit Commitment”). The Borrowing Base is the sum of (a) 85% of outstanding unpaid Eligible Receivables and (b) the lesser of $40.0 million for each fiscal month ending on or prior to August 31, 2025 (reduced to $35.0 million for each fiscal month ending on or prior to August 31, 2026, and further reduced to $32.5 million for each fiscal month ending thereafter) and 60% of Eligible Inventory for each fiscal month ending on or prior to August 31, 2025 (reduced to 55% of Eligible Inventory for each fiscal month ending on or prior to February 28, 2026, and 50% of Eligible Inventory for each fiscal month ending thereafter). The Credit Agreement also allows the Company to obtain Letters of Credit from the Bank, which if drawn upon by the beneficiary thereof and paid by the Bank, would become Revolving Loans. Under the Credit Agreement, the Company may not pay cash dividends on its common stock in excess of $5.0 million in any fiscal year. The term of the Revolving Loans under the Credit Agreement runs through April 1, 2027.
The Company used the increased borrowing capacity under the Credit Agreement to help finance its acquisition of Kobelt. Kobelt is included as a Borrower under the Credit Agreement, and may borrow directly under the Credit Agreement up to the lesser of the Revolving Credit Commitment or $25.0 million. For purposes of determining the Borrowing Base under the Credit Agreement, Eligible Receivables and Eligible Inventory of Kobelt are included.
Interest rates under the Credit Agreement are based on the secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”), the euro interbank offered rate (the “EURIBO Rate”), or the Canadian Overnight Repo Rate Average (the “CORRA”). Loans under the Credit Agreement are designated as either as “SOFR Loans,” which accrue interest at an Adjusted Term SOFR plus an Applicable Margin; “Eurodollar Loans,” which accrue interest at the EURIBO Rate plus an Applicable Margin; “Term CORRA Loans,” which accrue interest at an Adjusted Term CORRA plus an Applicable Margin; “Daily Compounded CORRA Loans,” which accrue interest at a Daily Compounded CORRA plus an Applicable Margin; or Canadian Prime Rate Loans,” which accrue interest at the Canadian Prime Rate plus an Applicable Margin. The Applicable Margins are between 2% and 3.5% for Revolving Loans and Letters of Credit; 2.125% and 3.625% for Term Loans; and .15% and .3% for the Unused Revolving Credit Commitment (each depending on the Company’s Total Funded Debt to EBITDA ratio).
The Credit Agreement requires the Company to meet certain financial covenants. Specifically, the Company’s Total Funded Debt to EBITDA ratio may not exceed 3.50 to 1.00, and the Company’s Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio may not be less than 1.10 to 1.00. In determining whether the Company is in compliance with its Total Funded Debt/EBITDA Ratio, the Company’s EBITDA will include transaction expenses of up to $0.6 million for each of the Company’s Kobelt Acquisition and the Company’s prior Katsa acquisition, as well as pro-forma EBITDA of Katsa and Kobelt as permitted by the Bank. The Company’s Tangible Net Worth may not be less than $100.0 million plus 50% of positive Net Income for each fiscal year ending on or after June 30, 2024.
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement secured by substantially all of the Company’s and Kobelt’s personal property, including accounts receivable, inventory, machinery and equipment, and intellectual property. The Company has also pledged 65% of its equity interests in certain foreign subsidiaries. To effect these security interests, the Company entered into various amendment and assignment agreements that consent to the assignment to the Bank of certain agreements previously entered into between the Company and the Bank in connection with an April 22, 2016 credit agreement between the Company and the Bank, and further amended such agreements pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement. Specifically, the Company amended and agreed to the assignment to the Bank of a Security Agreement, IP Security Agreement, Pledge Agreement, Perfection Certificate, and Assignment as to Liens and Encumbrances. The Company also amended and assigned to the Bank a Negative Pledge Agreement, pursuant to which it agreed not to sell, lease or otherwise encumber real estate that it owns except as permitted by the Credit Agreement and the Negative Pledge Agreement. The Company also entered into a Collateral Assignment of Rights under Purchase Agreement for its acquisition of Kobelt. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are also required to be guaranteed by each U.S. subsidiary of the Company.
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Bank may take the following actions upon written notice to the Company: (1) terminate its remaining obligations under the Credit Agreement; (2) declare all amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement to be immediately due and payable; and (3) demand the Company to immediately Cash Collateralize L/C Obligations in an amount equal to 105% of the aggregate L/C Obligations or a greater amount if the Bank determines a greater amount is necessary. If such Event of Default is due to the Company’s bankruptcy, the Bank may take the three actions listed above without notice to the Company.
