What's Driving ALOT's Business? Latest 10-Q Breakdown

17/17 datapoints verified

AI-extracted from the 10-Q filed 2026-06-08 — Q1 FY2027 (quarter ended April 30, 2026). Every figure is machine-verified against the filing text on SEC EDGAR.

AstroNova posted $39.4M revenue (+4.4% YoY) with $0.7M net income, driven by 16.3% Aerospace growth and 500-basis-point gross margin expansion to 36.6%.

Biggest Revenue Drivers

Product ID$26.1M-0.8% YoY

Desktop label printer and mail/sheet-flat pack printer sales largely offset decline in direct-to-package/overprint printers.

Aerospace$13.3M+16.3% YoY

Higher commercial aircraft hardware sales ($2.3M increase) and modest regional/business jet growth, partially offset by lower aftermarket supplies.

Biggest Revenue Drivers

Total revenue: $39.4M+4.4% YoY

Product ID$26.1M-0.8% YoY

Desktop label printer and mail/sheet-flat pack printer sales largely offset decline in direct-to-package/overprint printers.

Aerospace$13.3M+16.3% YoY

Higher commercial aircraft hardware sales ($2.3M increase) and modest regional/business jet growth, partially offset by lower aftermarket supplies.

Largest Expense Items

Cost of Revenue$24.9M-3.2% YoY

Lower manufacturing expenses and favorable product mix, partially offset by $0.4M restructuring charge.

General and Administrative$5.4M+26.3% YoY

Increased shared services, professional service fees, and insurance expenses; included $0.7M non-recurring legal/professional fees.

Selling and Marketing$5.7M+1.6% YoY

Higher employee wages, demo provisions, and distribution costs partially offset by lower shared services allocations.

Research and Development$1.8M+18.3% YoY

Higher employee wages and benefits, partially offset by lower product testing and consulting expenses.

Margins: Gross margin expanded 500 basis points to 36.6%, driven by higher sales, favorable product mix, and lower manufacturing costs, despite restructuring charges. Operating margin improved as segment profitability gains outpaced modest operating expense increases.

Watch Items from the Filing

Aerospace segment generated 29.2% operating margin vs. Product ID's 2.2%, with Aerospace hardware sales surging 46.3% YoY; concentration risk if commercial aircraft demand moderates.
MTEX integration ongoing with 70% product portfolio cut and function consolidation; Company targeting $3.0M annualized savings by Q2 FY2027, but execution risk remains.
Tariff refunds under IEEPA ruling remain uncertain; $0.7M pass-through revenue recorded in Q1, but timing and realization of recoveries undefined, with customer pass-back obligations unknown.
Restructuring and non-recurring charges totaled $1.7M YTD (including legal/professional fees); excluding these, adjusted net income would be approximately $1.4M or $0.18 per diluted share.
MTEX settlement on May 15, 2026 (post-quarter) involved €2.5M ($2.9M) property transfer; accounting impact under evaluation and not yet recognized.
