Current report
On February 20, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled inLearning Resources, Inc. v. Trump that the President lacked authority under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act ("IEEPA") to impose certain tariffs. During the three months ended June 30, 2026, the Company recognized a recovery of approximately $300,000 of previously paid IEEPA tariffs under the gain contingency model. The related refunds, including applicable statutory interest, were received from U.S. Customs and Border Protection (the “CBP”) during June 2026. The U.S. government has appealed the court's decision, and the litigation remains ongoing. The Company will continue to monitor developments related to the litigation and U.S. trade policy.
Current report
Subsequent to June 30, 2026, the Company received approximately $3.2 million in refunds from the CBP related to previously paid IEEPA tariffs. This is in addition to the approximately $300,000 in refunds received (and recorded) during the second quarter of 2026. Although approximately $3.2 million of refunds were received after quarter-end and prior to the filing of this Form 10-Q, the IEEPA tariff matters related to the $3.2 million remain subject to ongoing litigation, including pending appeals, and the ultimate resolution of these matters has not been finalized. Given the uncertainty related to the litigation, management concluded that the ultimate collectability of the $3.2 million could not be deemed to be probable as of June 30, 2026. Accordingly, no additional amounts related to the $3.2 million have been recognized in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2026.
Current report
Management reviews and analyzes several key performance measures which are non-GAAP financial measures when shown excluding the impact of the IEEPA tariff refund, including gross profit; selling, general and administrative expense; income from operations; income before provision for taxes; provision for taxes; net income; basic earnings per share; and diluted earnings per share. These measures are reviewed and analyzed in order to evaluate our business performance, identify trends affecting our business, allocate capital, and make strategic decisions, including those discussed below. See “Results of Operations” below for further discussion on these key performance measures, which are indicated by an asterisk (*).
Current report
The non-GAAP financial measures should be considered along with the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures. Definitions of these non-GAAP financial measures, a discussion of why we believe they are useful to management and investors as well as certain of their limitations, and reconciliations to their most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures are provided below under “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

The housing market continued to show weakness in the second quarter of 2026, as single-family housing starts declined by 4.2% compared to the corresponding period in 2025. This decline in the second quarter of 2026 represents an improvement from the decline of 6.5% in the first quarter of 2026.

Management expects growth in the Building Supply segment, however continued uncertainty in housing starts and the economy in general could negatively affect this segment.

Trump that the President lacks authority under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to impose tariffs.

There is no guarantee the Company will receive a refund.

BUILDING SUPPLY SEGMENT
Previous report

Previous report
Challenges in the housing market continued during the first quarter of 2026, as single-family housing starts declined compared to the corresponding period in 2025. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, single-family housing starts decreased by 5.5% for the quarter. Housing starts for January and February 2026 declined by 14.0% compared to the same period in 2025; however, housing activity increased in March 2026, partially mitigating the overall quarterly decline.
Previous report
Single-family housing starts in the U.S. have remained constrained by affordability pressures, macroeconomic uncertainty, and more recently by geopolitical volatility. Elevated mortgage rates and persistently high home prices relative to income have reduced affordability and softened demand, while tighter lending standards have further limited activity. Geopolitical tensions have also contributed to input cost volatility and ongoing supply chain disruptions, increasing construction cost pressures. In combination with elevated land, labor, and material costs, these factors have led builders to moderate new construction activity, resulting in continued softness in single-family housing starts.

DISPOSABLE PROTECTIVE APPAREL SEGMENT
Previous report
Sales for the Disposable Protective Apparel segment for the three months ended March 31, 2026, increased by $1,276,000, or 23.4%, to $6,726,000, compared to $5,450,000 for the same period of 2025. This segment sales increase was due to a 23.8% increase in sales of disposable protective garments, a 28.8% increase in sales of face masks and an 8.0% increase in sales of face shields.
Previous report
Sales of our face mask and face shield products in the first quarter of 2026, which comprise the remaining 9% of the segment sales, were up 28.8% and 8.0%, respectively and for the most part did not benefit from tariff related price increases. We will continue to pursue initiatives aimed at increasing sales of our face mask and face shield products, including the implementation of targeted promotions and strategic pricing incentives.

**Gross Profit.**Gross profit increased by $124,000, or 2.3%, to $5,516,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2026, from $5,392,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The gross profit margin was 37.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to 39.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Previous report
The decrease in gross profit margin was primarily driven by U.S. tariffs, implemented under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”), in early 2025. During 2025, the Company experienced three tariff increases on most products as a result of U.S. trade policy actions and reciprocal tariffs. We implemented price increases in mid-2025 as well as later in the year to partially offset the impact of these tariff increases; however higher tariffed inventory on hand continued to negatively impact gross margin in the first quarter of 2026. We expect gross margin improvement after higher-cost tariffed inventory flows through the system.These IEEPA tariffs were subsequently rescinded on February 24, 2026, following a Supreme Court decision invalidating the use of IEEPA to authorize such tariffs. On the same date, the U.S. government announced plans to implement a new 15% tariff under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974. Although announced at 15%, the tariff is currently at 10%.
Previous report
We have filed claims with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) seeking refunds of all the IEEPA tariffs. CBP officially launched the refund system on April 20, 2026. The ultimate receipt and timing of such refunds remain subject to review by CBP and other administrative processes. Any approved refunds are expected to be received in cash and would favorably impact the statement of income.

The increased income from operations was primarily due to an increase in gross profit of $124,000 and a decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses of $8,000, partially offset by an increase in depreciation and amortization expenses of $7,000. Income from operations as a percentage of net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2026, was 4.0%, compared to 3.3% for the same period of 2025.

Reworded paragraphs (31)
Previous wording
Recent developments in U.S. trade policy have introduced uncertainty regarding the future of global trade relations. Following the inauguration of the second Trump administration, there have been numerous announcements and actions related to tariff increases and other trade restrictions on imports into the U.S. Changes in tariffs, quotas, embargoes, or other trade barriers affecting countries from which we source supplies, or our global network of third-party suppliers, could impact our supply chain and cost structure. Additionally, retaliatory measures by affected countries could further disrupt our operations or reduce our competitiveness in international markets. We continue to monitor these evolving tariffs and trade restrictions. If new tariffs or trade restrictions are imposed, we may need to adjust pricing, increase inventory levels, or seek alternative suppliers, any of which could materially affect our revenue, gross margins, and overall financial performance.
