Earnings Call Q3 2026

February 5, 2026 - AI Summary

Strong Q3 performance + strong cash generation - Net sales: $161M, up 17% YoY (A&D strength + industrial growth). - Gross margin: 44.3% reported (45.1% adjusted), up vs 44.3% last year; A&D gross margin 40.1% / 42.2% adjusted; industrial 47.5% / 47.4% adjusted. - Earnings: Adjusted diluted EPS $3.04, up ~30% from $2.34 last year. - Cash: Free cash flow $99.1M with 147% conversion (vs $73M / 127% last year). - Deleveraging: paid down $81M of debt in Q3 and $67M since end of Q3 (a meaningful positive balance-sheet signal).
Outlook / guidance: Q4 revenue and margin guidance remains constructive - Q4 revenue guidance: $495M–$550M, +13.1% to +15.4% YoY. - Q4 adjusted gross margin: ~45.0% to 45.25%. - Q4 SG&A: 16.0%–16.25% of sales. - Management message: despite very strong underlying momentum in A&D, they are guiding conservatively—expecting results investors “will be very pleased” based on execution, volumes, and pricing.
A&D is the clear growth engine (and the main “surprise-good” driver) - A&D sales: +41.5% YoY, and importantly +21.7% excluding VACCO → indicates growth isn’t only acquisition-driven. - Substantial market tailwinds described: - Defense/submarines: accelerated fleet build-out (Virginia and Columbia programs); demand for RBC quiet running valves. - Missiles & guided munitions: broad refurbishment/production support across programs (including hypersonics referenced as tied to Columbia/Virginia). - Space: growing satellite buildout creates ongoing needs for precision assemblies (targeting, thrust vectoring, fuel management, structural components). - Commercial aerospace: “national inflection point,” with robust commercial aircraft and engine build rates. - Backlog: exceeded $2B; >90% of backlog is A&D. Industrial revenue generally does not get “stuck” in backlog because it’s more short-cycle/order-based.
