• Q2 Profit Recovery

  Net income reached $6.3M in Q2 2026, compared with a $3.6M loss a year earlier, as $6.0M in IEEPA tariff refund recoveries and a 27.2% sales jump in the consumer segment lifted results.

• Restructuring Charges Depress First Half

  The six-month net loss of $17.9M includes $26.0M in restructuring and impairment expenses related to the planned closure of the Jackson, Tennessee manufacturing facility.

• Consumer Segment Strength

  Driven by improved demand and $4.7M in tariff refunds, consumer segment sales rose 27.2% to $146.6M in Q2, while gross profit climbed 47.6% to $34.7M.

• Agricultural Segment Weakness

  Agricultural segment sales fell 5.0% to $183.6M in Q2, and operating income dropped 72.2% to $3.2M, pressured by lower volumes and higher steel costs.

A swing to second-quarter net income of $6.3 million, reversing a year-ago loss, was fueled by $6.0 million in IEEPA tariff refund recoveries and a 27% surge in consumer segment sales. Yet the six-month picture remains deeply negative, with a $17.9 million loss driven by $26.0 million in restructuring and impairment charges tied to the Jackson, Tennessee plant closure. Liquidity is adequate at $179.8 million in cash and $43.9 million available under the credit line, but the heavy restructuring costs and mixed agricultural performance keep the outlook cautious.
