Total assets were $462.3 million, up from $450.9 million. Shareholders' equity rose to $337.8 million from $322.0 million, driven by net earnings and other comprehensive income. Total debt decreased to $20.6 million from $31.4 million, reflecting an $11.0 million repayment on the revolving credit facility in July 2025, funded by the sale of the Kent, Washington manufacturing facility. The company had $21.0 million outstanding under its $75.0 million revolving credit facility as of September 27, 2025.
The Notes disclose no material purchase commitments or contractual obligations beyond operating lease obligations. Total future minimum lease payments were $27.1 million, with $1.4 million due in the remainder of 2025, $4.7 million in 2026, and $9.3 million thereafter. A VAT assessment from the Israeli Tax Authority for approximately $2.5 million is being contested; the company believes liability is not probable.
No share repurchases occurred in the first nine months of 2025; the stock repurchase plan expired on August 9, 2024, with no new authorization disclosed. No dividends were paid. Capital expenditures totaled $5.0 million for the nine-month period, representing 2.2% of net revenues. The company repaid $11.0 million of its revolving credit facility, reducing total debt. Share-based compensation expense was $1.6 million.
For the third quarter of 2025, Sensors generated $31.6 million in revenue (up 12.1% YoY) with segment operating income of $5.5 million. Weighing Solutions revenue was $27.5 million (up 9.4% YoY) with operating income of $4.9 million. Measurement Systems revenue was $20.6 million (down 8.0% YoY) with operating income of $3.1 million.

For the nine fiscal months ended September 27, 2025, net cash provided by operating activities was $9.954 million, compared to net earnings of $7.281 million, yielding a CFO-to-net-income ratio of approximately 1.37x. This indicates reasonable cash conversion, though CFO declined 23.7% year-over-year from $13.039 million. The primary driver of the decline was a significant working capital outflow: accounts receivable increased by $6.223 million (versus a $3.340 million inflow in the prior period), and inventories rose by $2.084 million. These were partially offset by a $6.499 million increase in other current liabilities.
Capital expenditures totaled $4.953 million, down from $6.965 million in the prior year, representing a capex intensity (capex/CFO) of 49.8%. Free cash flow (CFO minus capex) was approximately $5.0 million, which fully covered the absence of share repurchases and dividends. The company generated $10.891 million from the sale of an asset held for sale and property and equipment, boosting investing cash flow to positive $5.938 million.
Financing activities used $11.220 million, primarily due to $11.0 million in repayments on the revolving facility. No share repurchases or dividends were recorded. The net increase in cash and cash equivalents was $6.981 million, ending the period at $86.253 million.
