Analysis · FLXS · Manufacturing
The annual report confirms record full-year earnings, with diluted EPS of $6.07, up 71% from $3.55 last year, driven by a 250-basis-point gross margin expansion to 24.7% and a 4.1% sales increase. The company also replaced its $55 million credit line with a smaller $30 million facility maturing in 2029, reflecting reduced borrowing needs but adding new covenants. A $60.2 million repurchase of 1.28 million shares from a board member and family at $47 per share reduced the share count by about 23%, boosting EPS but drawing down cash to $16.7 million. The balance sheet remains solid with no debt outstanding, but the smaller credit facility and lower cash position warrant attention.
