Current report

In February 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a ruling invalidating tariffs previously imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”). As a result of this ruling, the U.S. Court of International Trade issued an order directing the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”) agency to begin formalizing a process for refunds. The CBP launched an online portal that can be used to submit IEEPA tariff refund requests. The ultimate recoverability, timing and amount of any potential refunds of IEEPA tariffs remains uncertain and subject to further legal, regulatory and administrative developments. As of March 31, 2026, the Company has not recorded any potential impact associated with such refunds, but will continue to monitor these developments and their potential impact.

The decrease in net revenue was primarily due to lower contract equipment revenues recognized over time and associated freight revenue, which resulted from the timing of orders and shipments. As a percentage of net revenue, gross profit margins increased 200 basis points to 31.7% in the quarter ended March 31, 2026, compared to 29.7% in the quarter ended March 31, 2025.

Product engineering and development expenses decreased $52,000 to $629,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, as compared to $681,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 primarily due to lower headcount. Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses increased $1,651,000 to $5,843,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, compared to $4,192,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 due to higher trade show expenses.

As a percent of sales, gross profit margins increased to 28.7% in the quarter ended December 31, 2025, compared to 27.6% in the quarter ended December 31, 2024.

Previous wording

Concerns over inflation, geopolitical issues and global financial markets have led to increased economic instability and expectations of slower economic growth. Our business may be adversely affected by any such economic instability or unpredictability. Sanctions and disruptions to the global economy may lead to additional inflation and may disrupt the global supply chain and could have a material adverse effect on our ability to secure supplies. Prolonged periods of inflation would likely increase our costs in the form of higher wages, and increased cost of supplies and equipment necessary to operate our business. Additionally, conflicts and/or tensions involving Russia, Ukraine, Israel, the U.S., Greenland, and various countries in South America, Europe and the Middle East, may cause increased inflation in energy and logistics costs and could further cause general economic conditions in the U.S. or abroad to deteriorate. There is a risk that one or more of our suppliers could be negatively affected by global economic instability, which could adversely affect our ability to operate efficiently and timely complete our operational goals. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, the Company’s operations have not been significantly impacted.

Previous wording

The Company recognizes revenue under ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). Revenues from contracts with customers for the design, manufacture and sale of custom equipment are recognized over time when the performance obligation is satisfied by transferring control of the equipment. Control of the equipment transfers over time, as the equipment is unique to the specific contract and thus does not create an asset with an alternative use to the Company. Revenues and costs are recognized in proportion to actual labor costs incurred, as compared with total estimated labor costs expected to be incurred, during the entire contract. All incremental costs related to obtaining a contract are expensed as incurred, as the amortization period is less than one year. Changes to total estimated contract costs or losses, if any, are recognized in the period in which they are determined.

Property and equipment and intangible assets subject to amortization are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset (or asset group) may not be recoverable. An impairment loss would be recognized when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. The amount of the impairment loss to be recorded is calculated by the excess over its fair value of the asset’s carrying value. Fair value is generally determined using a discounted cash flow analysis. There were no impairment losses in the quarters ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
