AI Insight: XPEL Financial Trends

XPEL's revenue grew 13% year-over-year to $117M in Q1 2026, but operating income of $13M barely exceeds the year-ago $11M, signaling margin pressure persists.

• Revenue expanded from $104M in Q1 2025 to $117M in Q1 2026, a 13% year-over-year gain.

• Operating margin compressed from 10.6% in Q1 2025 to 11.1% in Q1 2026 — only marginal recovery despite higher revenue.

• Equity grew steadily from $202M in Q2 2024 to $288M in Q1 2026, reflecting consistent retained earnings accumulation.

• Operating cash flow has been persistently weak in Q4 and Q1 quarters: $6M, $3M, $3M, $7M across Q4 2024 through Q1 2026.

⚠ Q1 and Q4 operating cash flow consistently collapses — Q1 2026 Op CF of $7M vs. $28M–$33M in Q2–Q3 quarters.

⚠ Net income declined from $16M in Q2 2025 to $10M in Q1 2026, continuing a sequential deterioration worth monitoring.

⚠ Total debt data is absent across all periods; leverage picture remains opaque for balance-sheet risk assessment.

AI Insight: XPEL Ratio Trends

XPEL's profitability has deteriorated markedly over five quarters, with ROIC contracting from 38.0% in Q2 2024 to 18.1% in Q1 2026.

• Operating margin fell from 17.4% in Q2 2024 to 11.1% in Q1 2026, a contraction of 630 basis points over five quarters.

• ROIC dropped from 38.0% in Q2 2024 to 18.1% in Q1 2026, nearly halving over the observed period.

• ROA declined from 23.0% in Q2 2024 to 10.5% in Q1 2026, signaling deteriorating asset efficiency.

• Q2 2025 showed a seasonal uptick — OpMargin 15.5%, ROIC 30.2% — but Q3 and Q4 2025 resumed the downtrend.

⚠ Q1 2026 OpMargin of 11.1% matches the weakest reading since Q1 2025 — watch whether seasonal recovery in Q2 2026 materializes.

⚠ NPM compressed to 8.8% in Q1 2026 vs. 13.7% in Q2 2024; sustained pressure here would threaten FCF generation.

⚠ D/E data is absent across all periods — leverage visibility is zero, a key gap for assessing balance-sheet risk.
