SEC filingQ1 revenue declined 8.2% to $30.5M due to sanitaryware sales decreases, though operating losses narrowed 46.0% to -$691K from cost controls and facility optimizations, with operating cash use improving to -$326K via working capital management.
Revenue for Q1 FY2026 totaled $30.5 million, down 8.2% from $33.2 million in the prior year quarter. This decrease was primarily driven by decreases in sales of sanitaryware, as noted in management discussion. Despite the contraction, gross profit of $8.2 million represented a stable 26.8% margin versus the prior period's performance, indicating resilience in product mix even as increased costs pressured margins and contributed to liquidity challenges.
Operating income improved to a loss of -$691 thousand, a 46.0% narrowing from -$1.3 million last year. This progress resulted from actions to optimize the facility footprint and reduce ongoing overhead costs, enabling better cost control amid revenue headwinds. Operating margin stood at -2.3%, reflecting these efficiency gains.
Net income showed a loss of -$969 thousand, or -$0.50 diluted EPS, compared to -$629 thousand or -$0.07 EPS prior year. The wider net loss stemmed from higher non-operating items including interest expense, though core operations demonstrated improvement.
