  • 2
    The Numbers

AI Insight: ESP Financial Trends

Espey's equity base has grown 37% over eight quarters to $56M with zero reported debt, while net income has quietly stepped up from $2M to $3M.

Net income and operating income both rose from $2M to $3M by Q2 2025, holding at that level through Q1 2026.

Equity expanded steadily from $41M in Q2 2024 to $56M in Q1 2026, with no total debt reported in any quarter.

Revenue has oscillated between $9M and $14M across all eight quarters, showing no clear directional growth trend.

Operating cash flow turned negative at -$3M in Q4 2025 — first such decline in the tracked period — despite solid net income.

Revenue dipped to $9M in Q3 2025, the lowest in the dataset; sustained top-line stagnation could cap future earnings gains.

AI Insight: ESP Ratio Trends

ESP's operating margin surged from a trough of 14.9% in Q4 2024 to 26.1% in Q1 2026, signaling a durable profitability recovery.

Operating margin rebounded sharply from 14.9% in Q4 2024 to 27.4% in Q2 2025, holding above 22% through Q1 2026.

Net profit margin expanded from a low of 14.0% in Q4 2024 to 25.1% in Q1 2026, tracking the operating improvement.

ROIC recovered from 15.1% in Q1 2025 to 21.1% in Q1 2026, back above the Q2 2024 starting level of 20.7%.

ROA dipped to 11.9% in Q1 2026 versus 14.8% in Q2 2025 — asset efficiency has not fully kept pace with margin gains.

D/E data is absent across all periods; leverage structure remains opaque and warrants direct review of balance sheet disclosures.
