Lower principal balances offset by higher interest rates

Margins: Gross margin declined to 20.6% in Q2 2026 from 23.3% in Q2 2025, primarily due to lower shipment volumes and tariff costs of $1.9M partially mitigated through price increases. Operating profit margin compressed to 2.7% from 4.5% YoY.

Watch Items from the Filing

Two customers represent greater than 10% each of net accounts receivable as of July 4, 2026, creating customer concentration risk.
Company paid $1.9M in tariff costs on China-sourced products in Q2 2026; $1.8M recovered through price increases, with tariff environment remaining dynamic.
Backlog increased 45% to $126.2M YoY, with $19.0M from acquired aerospace and defense orders, signaling growth in new market segment.
Inventory increased 21.9% YoY to $66.0M as of July 4, 2026, driven partly by $10.5M inventory acquired; monitor for excess or obsolescence risk.
$6.5M bargain purchase gain recognized on Sinecera/Sungear acquisition; future profitability of aerospace and defense platform uncertain given early-stage integration.
