NATIONAL PRESTO INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

<u>NOTE A – BASIS OF PRESENTATION</u>

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements included herein are unaudited and have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). In the opinion of management of the Company, the consolidated interim financial statements reflect all of the adjustments which were of a normal recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of *December 31, 2024* is summarized from audited consolidated financial statements, but does *not* include all the disclosures contained therein and should be read in conjunction with the *2024* Annual Report on Form *10*-K. Interim results for the period are *not* indicative of those for the year.

<u>NOTE B – REVENUES</u>

The Company's revenues are derived from contracts and programs that are typically completed within 3 to 42 months and are recognized in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board ("FASB") Accounting Standard Codification ("ASC") Topic *606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers*. The Company's contracts generally contain *one* or more performance obligations: the physical delivery of distinct ordered product or products. The Company provides an assurance type product warranty on its products to the original owner. In addition, for the Housewares/Small Appliances segment, the Company estimates returns of seasonal products and returns of newly introduced products sold with a return privilege. Stand-alone selling prices are set forth in each contract and are used to allocate revenue to the corresponding performance obligations. For the Housewares/Small Appliances segment, contracts include variable consideration, as the prices are subject to customer allowances, which principally consist of allowances for cooperative advertising, defective product, and trade discounts. Customer allowances are generally allocated to the performance obligations based on budgeted rates agreed upon with customers, as well as historical experience, and yield the Company's best estimate of the expected value for the variable consideration.

The Company's contracts in the Defense segment are primarily with the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) and DOD prime contractors. As a consequence, this segment's business essentially depends on the product needs and governmental funding of the DOD. Substantially all of the work performed by the Defense segment directly or indirectly for the DOD is performed on a fixed-price basis. Under fixed-price contracts, the price paid to the contractor is usually awarded based on competition at the outset of the contract and therefore, with the exception of limited escalation provisions on specific materials, is generally *not* subject to any adjustments reflecting the actual costs incurred by the contractor.

For the Housewares/Small Appliance segment, revenue is generally recognized as the completed, ordered product is shipped to the customer from the Company's warehouses. For the Defense segment, revenue is primarily recognized when the customer has legal title and formally documents that it has accepted the products. In some situations, the customer *may* obtain legal title and accept the products at the Company's facilities, arranging for transportation at a later date, typically in *one* to *four* weeks. The Company does *not* consider the short-term storage of the customer owned products to be a material performance obligation, and *no* part of the transaction price is allocated to it. There are also certain termination clauses in Defense segment contracts that *may* give rise to an over-time pattern of recognition of revenue in the absence of alternative use of the product.

The timing of revenue recognition, billings, and cash collections results in billed accounts receivable, and customer advances and deposits (contract liabilities) on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. For the Defense segment, the Company occasionally receives advances or deposits from certain customers before revenue is recognized, resulting in contract liabilities. These advances or deposits do *not* represent a significant financing component. As of *September 28, 2025* and *December 31, 2024*, $10,606,000 and $7,345,000 respectively, of contract liabilities were included in Accrued Liabilities on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company recognized revenue of $7,110,000 during the *nine* month period ended *September 28, 2025* that was included in the Defense segment contract liability at the beginning of that period. The Company monitors its estimates of variable consideration, which includes customer allowances for cooperative advertising, defective product, trade discounts, and returns of seasonal and newly introduced product, which primarily pertain to the Housewares/Small Appliances segment, and periodically makes cumulative adjustments to the carrying amounts of these contract liabilities as appropriate. There were no material adjustments to the aforementioned estimates during the *three* and *nine* month periods ended *September 28, 2025* and *September 29, 2024*. There were *no* amounts of revenue recognized during the same periods related to performance obligations satisfied in a previous period. The portion of contract transaction prices allocated to unsatisfied performance obligations, also known as the contract backlog, in the Company's Defense segment was $1,416,082,000 and $1,085,612,000 as of *September 28, 2025* and *December 31, 2024*, respectively. The Company anticipates that the unsatisfied performance obligations (contract backlog) will be fulfilled in an 18 to 42-month period. The performance obligations in the Housewares/Small Appliances segment have original expected durations of less than *one* year.

<u>NOTE C – EARNINGS PER SHARE</u>

Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares and participating securities outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share also includes the dilutive effect of additional potential common shares issuable. Unvested stock awards, which contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends whether paid or unpaid ("participating securities"), are included in the number of shares outstanding for both basic and diluted earnings per share calculations.

<u>NOTE D – BUSINESS SEGMENTS</u>

The Company operates in three business segments. The Company identifies its segments based on the Company's organization structure, which is primarily by principal products and is the way in which the Company's Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM), the Company's CEO, makes operating decisions, assesses financial performance, and allocates resources. The principal product groups are Housewares/Small Appliances, Defense, and Safety. Sales for all segments are primarily to customers in North America.

The Housewares/Small Appliances segment designs, markets, and distributes housewares and small appliances. The housewares/small appliance products are sold primarily in the United States and Canada directly to retail outlets and also through independent distributors. The Company primarily sources its Housewares/Small Appliances products from non-affiliated suppliers located in the Orient. Sales are seasonal, with the normal peak sales period occurring in the *fourth* quarter of the year prior to the holiday season.

The Defense segment was started in *2001* with the acquisition of AMTEC Corporation, which manufactures precision mechanical and electromechanical assemblies for the U.S. Government and prime contractors. During *2005,* and again during *2010,* AMTEC Corporation was *one* of two prime contractors selected by the Army to supply all requirements for the *40mm* family of practice and tactical ammunition cartridges for a period of five years. In *2016,* AMTEC was awarded a *one*-year contract, and in *2017* and *2022,* it was awarded *third* and *fourth five*-year contracts, respectively as the sole prime contractor. AMTEC's manufacturing plant is located in Janesville, Wisconsin. Since the inception of the Defense segment in *2001,* the Company has expanded the segment by making several strategic business acquisitions, and has additional facilities located in East Camden, Arkansas; Antigo, Wisconsin; Clear Lake, South Dakota, and Marshall, Texas. During *2003,* the segment was expanded with the acquisition of Spectra Technologies, LLC of East Camden, Arkansas. This facility performs Load, Assemble, and Pack (LAP) operations on ordnance-related products for the U.S. Government and prime contractors. During *2006,* the segment was expanded again with the acquisition of certain assets of Amron, LLC of Antigo, Wisconsin, which primarily manufactures cartridge cases used in medium caliber (*20*-*50mm*) ammunition. During *2014,* the Company continued the expansion of the Defense segment with the purchase of substantially all of the assets of Chemring Energetic Devices, Inc. located in Clear Lake, South Dakota, and all of the real property owned by Technical Ordnance Realty, LLC. The Clear Lake facility manufactures detonators, booster pellets, release cartridges, lead azide, and other military energetic devices and materials. During *2022,* the Company again expanded the Defense segment by acquiring the equity interests of Woodlawn Manufacturing, Ltd. Woodlawn Manufacturing, Ltd, is a high volume manufacturer of precision metal parts and assemblies primarily for the defense and aerospace industry. The Defense segment's collection of facilities enables the Company to deliver in virtually all aspects of the manufacture of medium caliber training and tactical rounds. Those aspects include the fuze, the detonator, the metal parts (including the cartridge case), and load, assemble and pack of the final round.

The Safety segment was started in *2019* with the acquisition of the assets of OneEvent Technologies, Inc., a business located in Mount Horeb, Wisconsin which focused on protection for buildings, homes, assets, and occupants using a cloud-based learning and an analytics engine that utilizes data from a series of sensing devices to predict, alert, and prevent. Upon purchase, it was combined with Rusoh, Inc. which designed and marketed fire extinguishers. Prior to *2019,* Rusoh Inc. had been included in the Company's Housewares/Small Appliances segment. On *July 29, 2022,* certain assets were acquired and liabilities were assumed of Knox Safety, Inc., a startup business formed in *2019* with operations in Illinois and North Carolina. Knox Safety designed and sold carbon monoxide detectors for residential use. Subsequent to the acquisition, the acquiring entity legally adopted the corporate name Rely Innovations, Inc. and was added to the segment. Since its acquisition, the Company has introduced smoke detectors and fire extinguishers under the Rely name. To focus the direction of the segment's business, the Company divested the stock of Rusoh, Inc. on *November 14, 2023* and certain assets of OneEvent related to its refrigeration monitoring business on *July 31, 2025.* The OneEvent intellectual property, however, has been retained.

The Company manages and assesses the performance of its reportable segments by their gross profit and operating profit. As part of the CODM's review of segment level performance, the CODM reviews these measures of income of each reportable segment, which drives the evaluation of the performance of the Company's reportable segments and allocation of resources to those segments. The significant segment expense categories included in the table below augment the Company's understanding of operating results.

In the following summary, operating profit represents earnings before other income and income taxes. The Company's segments operate discretely from each other with *no* shared owned or leased manufacturing facilities. Costs associated with corporate activities (such as cash and marketable securities management) and the assets associated with such activities are included within the Housewares/Small Appliances segment for all periods presented.

<u>NOTE E - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS</u>

The Company utilizes the methods of fair value as described in FASB ASC *820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,* to value its financial assets and liabilities. ASC *820* utilizes a *three*-tier fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: Level *1,* defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level *2,* defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level *3,* defined as unobservable inputs in which little or *no* market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

The carrying amounts for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, notes receivable, accounts payable, line of credit, and accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. See Note F for fair value information on marketable securities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; *9*

[**Table of Contents**](#toc)

<u>NOTE F - CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS AND MARKETABLE SECURITIES</u> 

The Company considers all highly liquid marketable securities with an original maturity of *three* months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents include money market funds. The Company deposits its cash in high quality financial institutions. The balances, at times, *may* exceed federally insured limits. Money market funds are reported at fair value determined using quoted prices in active markets for identical securities (Level *1,* as defined by FASB ASC *820*). The Company has classified all marketable securities as available-for-sale which requires the securities to be reported at estimated fair value, with unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, reported as a separate component of stockholders' equity.

At *September 28, 2025* and *December 31, 2024*, cost for marketable securities was determined using the specific identification method. A summary of the amortized costs and fair values of the Company's marketable securities at the end of the periods presented is shown in the following table. All of the Company's marketable securities are classified as Level *2,* as defined by FASB ASC *820,* with fair values determined using significant other observable inputs, which include quoted prices in markets that are *not* active, quoted prices of similar securities, recently executed transactions, broker quotations, and other inputs that are observable.

Proceeds from maturities and sales of available-for-sale securities totaled $496,000 and $4,107,000 for the *three* month periods ended *September 28, 2025* and *September 29, 2024*, respectively, and totaled $2,476,000 and $15,056,000 for the *nine* month periods then ended, respectively. There were no gross gains or losses related to sales of marketable securities during the same periods. Net unrealized losses included in other comprehensive income were $5,000 before taxes for the *three* month period ended *September 28, 2025*, and $33,000 for the *nine* month period then ended. Net unrealized gains included in other comprehensive income were $66,000 before taxes for the *three* month period ended *September 29, 2024,* and $57,000 for the *nine* month period then ended. No unrealized gains or losses were reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income during the same periods.

The contractual maturities of the marketable securities held at *September 28, 2025* are as follows: $1,991,000 within *one* year; $498,000 beyond *one* year to *five* years.

<u>NOTE G – OTHER ASSETS</u>

Other Assets includes prepayments and deposits that are made from time to time by the Company for certain materials used in the manufacturing process in the Housewares/Small Appliances and Safety segments. As of *September 28, 2025* and *December 31, 2024*, $2,072,000 and $2,929,000 of such prepayments, respectively, remained unused and outstanding and were included in Other Current Assets, representing the Company's best estimate of the expected utilization of the prepayments and related materials during the *twelve*-month period following those dates.

<u>NOTE H – LEASES</u>

The Company accounts for leases under ASC *Topic *842,* Leases.* The Company's leasing activities include roles as both lessee and lessor. As lessee, the Company's primary leasing activities include buildings and structures to support its manufacturing operations at *one* location in its Defense segment, buildings and structures to support its Safety segment, and warehouse space and equipment to support its distribution center operations in its Housewares/Small Appliances segment. As lessor, the Company's primary leasing activity is comprised of manufacturing and office space located adjacent to its corporate offices. All of the Company's leases are classified as operating leases.

The Company's leases as lessee in its Defense segment provide for variable lease payments that are based on changes in the Consumer Price Index. As lessor, the Company's primary lease also provides for variable lease payments that are based on changes in the Consumer Price Index, as well as on increases in costs of insurance, real estate taxes, and utilities related to the leased space. Generally, all of the Company's lease contracts include options for extensions and early terminations. The majority of lease terms of the Company's lease contracts recognized on the balance sheet reflect extension options, while *none* reflect early termination options.

The Company has determined that the rates implicit in its leases are *not* readily determinable and therefore, estimates its incremental borrowing rates utilizing quotes from financial institutions for real estate and equipment, as applicable, over periods of time similar to the terms of its leases. The Company has entered into various short-term (*12* months or less) leases as lessee and has elected a non-recognition accounting policy, as permitted by ASC *Topic *842*.

The Company considers risk associated with the residual value of its leased real property to be low, given the nature of the long-term lease agreement, the Company's ability to control the maintenance of the property, and the creditworthiness of the lessee. The residual value risk is further mitigated by the long-lived nature of the property, and the propensity of such assets to hold their value or, in some cases, appreciate in value.

<u>NOTE I – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES</u>

The Company is involved in largely routine litigation incidental to its business. Management believes the ultimate outcome of the litigation will *not* have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, liquidity, or results of operations.

<u>NOTE J – LINE OF CREDIT</u>

The Company has maintained an unsecured line of credit for short term operating cash needs of $50,000,000 and $10,000,000 as of *September 28, 2025* and *December 31, 2024*, respectively. The line of credit expired on *September 30, 2025* and was subsequently renewed for an additional *one*-year period. The outstanding balance as of *September 28, 2025* and *December 31, 2024* was $36,900,000 and $0, respectively. The interest rate on the current line of credit resets monthly to the *30*-day Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) plus *one*-and-one-quarter percent. The interest rate on the previous line of credit reset monthly to the *30*-day SOFR plus one percent. Additionally, the Company had no issued commercial letters of credit as of *September 28, 2025* and *December 31, 2024*.

<u>NOTE K</u> <u>–</u> <u>IMPAIRMENT OF VENDOR DEPOSIT</u> 

During the quarter ended *March 30, 2025,* the Company made deposits totaling $2,701,000 with a vendor in its Housewares/Small Appliances segment. On *May 29, 2025,* the vendor filed for protection in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in the Northern District of Texas. As recovery of the deposit is deemed unlikely, the Company recorded an impairment of the full deposit during the quarter ended *June 29, 2025.* The deposit had been carried in Property, Plant and Equipment on the Company's balance sheet.

<u>NOTE L – RECENTLY ISSUED OR ADOPTED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS</u>

The Company assesses the impacts of adopting recently issued accounting standards by the Financial Accounting Standards Board on the Company's financial statements, and updates previous assessments, as necessary, from the Company's Quarterly Report on Form *10*-Q for the fiscal quarter ended *June 29, 2025.* 

In *December 2023,* the FASB issued ASU *2023*-*09, Income Taxes (Topic *740*): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures*, which requires disaggregated information about a company's effective tax rate reconciliation and provision for income taxes, as well as information on income taxes paid. ASU *2023*-*09* is effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after *December 15, 2024.* As this update relates to disclosures only, the Company does *not* expect ASU *2023*-*09* will have an impact on its consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

In *November 2024,* the FASB issued ASU *2024*-*03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses*, which requires disaggregated disclosure of income statement expenses for public business entities. ASU *2024*-*03* does *not* change the expense captions an entity presents on the face of the income statement; rather, it requires disaggregation of certain expense captions into specified categories in disclosures within the footnotes to the financial statements. As revised by ASU *No. 2025*-*01, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date*, the provisions of ASU *2024*-*03* are effective for fiscal years beginning after *December 15, 2026,* and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after *December 15, 2027,* with early adoption permitted. With the exception of expanding disclosures to include more granular income statement expense categories, we do *not* expect the adoption of ASU *2024*-*03* to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.

<u>NOTE M - SUBSEQUENT EVENT</u>

The Company evaluates events that occur through the financial statement filing date and discloses any material or significant events or transactions.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Forward-looking statements in this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, in the Company's 2024 Annual Report to Stockholders, in the Proxy Statement for the annual meeting held on May 20, 2025, and in the Company's press releases and oral statements made with the approval of an authorized executive officer are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. There are certain important factors that could cause results to differ materially from those anticipated by some of the statements made herein. Investors are cautioned that all forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainty. In addition to the factors discussed herein and in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, among the other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially are the following: consumer spending and debt levels; interest rates; continuity of relationships with and purchases by major customers; product mix; the benefit and risk of business acquisitions; competitive pressure on sales and pricing; development and market acceptance of new products; increases in material, freight/shipping, tariffs, or production cost which cannot be recouped in product pricing; delays or interruptions in shipping or production; shipment of defective product which could result in product liability claims or recalls; work or labor disruptions stemming from a unionized work force; changes in government requirements, military spending, and funding of government contracts, which could result in, among other things, the modification or termination of existing contracts; dependence on subcontractors or vendors to perform as required by contract; the ability of startup businesses to ultimately have the potential to be successful; the efficient start-up and utilization of capital equipment investments; political actions of federal and state governments which could have an impact on everything from the value of the U.S dollar vis-à-vis other currencies to the availability of affordable labor and energy; and security breaches and disruptions to the Company's information technology systems. Additional information concerning these and other factors is contained in the Company's Securities and Exchange Commission filings.

**Comparison of Third Quarter 2025 and 2024**

Readers are directed to Note D to the Consolidated Financial Statements, "Business Segments," for data on the financial results of the Company's three business segments for the quarters ended September 28, 2025 and September 29, 2024.

On a consolidated basis, net sales increased by $23,640,000 (26%), gross profit decreased by $1,211,000 (7%), selling and general expenses increased by $1,600,000 (21%), and amortization was consistent. Other income decreased by $702,000 (61%), earnings before provision for income taxes decreased by $3,513,000 (34%), and net earnings decreased by $2,766,000 (34%). Details concerning these changes can be found in the comments by segment below.

Housewares/Small Appliance net sales decreased by $2,274,000 from $24,816,000 to $22,542,000, or 9%, which was attributable to a decrease in units shipped, approximately 53% of which was offset by increases in pricing. Defense net sales increased by $25,794,000 from $66,794,000 to $92,588,000 or 39%, primarily reflecting an increase in shipments from the segment's backlog.

Housewares/Small Appliance gross profit decreased $4,692,000 from $4,997,000 to $305,000, primarily reflecting decrease in sales mentioned above and the impact of the various tariffs imposed under the second Trump term. Those tariffs are generally treated as period costs and expensed as they are incurred, reflecting the segment's LIFO inventory cost valuation method. Defense gross profit increased $3,414,000 from $13,447,000 to $16,861,000, primarily reflecting the increase in sales mentioned above, partially offset by differences in product mix, efficiencies, and material costs. Due to the startup nature of the businesses in the Safety segment and the resulting limited revenues, gross margins were negative in both years.

Selling and general expenses for the Housewares/Small Appliance segment increased $339,000, primarily due to increases in legal and professional cost accruals of $197,000, and compensation related expenses of $197,000, offset by decreases in self-insurance accruals of $81,000. Selling and general expenses for the Defense segment increased $1,701,000, primarily attributed to the increases in personnel costs of $1,434,000, computer and software expense of $89,000, repairs and maintenance of $76,000, and legal and professional costs of $66,000. Selling and general expenses for the Safety segment decreased $440,000, primarily reflecting reduced personnel costs of $91,000, legal and professional costs of $91,000, and the gain recognized on the sale of OneEvent's refrigeration monitoring business that occurred on July 31, 2025 of $253,000.

The above items were responsible for the change in operating profit.

The $702,000 decrease in other income was attributable to a decrease in interest income of $553,000 on marketable securities and an increase in interest expense of $225,000 related to the outstanding balance of the Company's revolving line of credit during the third quarter of 2025. Both stem from the increased investments in inventory required to support augmented Defense segment awards.

Earnings before provision for income taxes decreased $3,513,000 from $10,373,000 to $6,860,000. The provision for income taxes decreased from $2,290,000 to $1,543,000, which resulted in an effective income tax rate of 23% and 22% for the quarters ended September 28, 2025 and September 29, 2024, respectively. Net earnings decreased $2,766,000 from $8,083,000 to $5,317,000, or 34%.

**Comparison of First Nine Months 2025 and 2024**

Readers are directed to Note D to the Consolidated Financial Statements, "Business Segments," for data on the financial results of the Company's three business segments for the first nine months ended September 28, 2025 and September 29, 2024.

On a consolidated basis, net sales increased by $86,015,000 (34%), gross profit increased by $6,894,000 (15%), selling and general expenses increased by $4,476,000 (20%), impairment of vendor deposit increased $2,701,000, and amortization was consistent. Other income decreased by $3,007,000 (64%), earnings before provision for income taxes decreased by $3,290,000 (12%), and net earnings decreased by $2,649,000 (13%). Details concerning these changes can be found in the comments by segment below.

Housewares/Small Appliance net sales were essentially flat. Decreases in units shipped of $2,823,000 were offset by increases in pricing. Defense net sales increased by $85,379,000 from $187,960,000 to $273,339,000 or 45%, primarily reflecting an increase in shipments from the segment's backlog.

Housewares/Small Appliance gross profit decreased $9,321,000 from $11,566,000 to $2,245,000, primarily reflecting the Trump administration's tariffs that went into effect on goods deemed to have been shipped from the Orient after January 31, 2025. Those tariffs are generally treated as period costs and expensed as they are incurred, reflecting the segment's LIFO inventory cost valuation method. These were partially offset by lower repair costs at its main facility of approximately $957,000. Defense gross profit increased $15,541,000 from $27,165,000 to $53,691,000, primarily reflecting the increase in sales mentioned above, partially offset by differences in mix, efficiencies, and material costs. Due to the startup nature of the businesses in the Safety segment and the resulting limited revenues, gross margins were negative in both years.

Selling and general expenses for the Housewares/Small Appliance segment increased $1,713,000, primarily due to increases in self-insurance accruals of $675,000, legal and professional cost accruals of $450,000, compensation related expenses of $208,000, and the absence of the favorable adjustment to the reserve for bad debts of $285,000 that occurred in the prior year. Selling and general expenses for the Defense segment increased $3,436,000, primarily attributed to the increases in personnel costs of $2,721,000, computer and software expense of $188,000, repairs and maintenance of $267,000, and legal and professional costs of $205,000. Selling and general expenses for the Safety segment decreased $673,000, primarily reflecting reduced personnel costs of $217,000, legal and professional costs of $63,000, travel expenses of $143,000, and the gain recognized on the sale of OneEvent's refrigeration monitoring business that occurred on July 31, 2025 of $253,000.

During the first quarter of 2025, the Company made deposits totaling $2,701,000 with a vendor in its Housewares/Small Appliances segment. On May 29, 2025, the vendor filed for protection in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in the Northern District of Texas. As recovery of the deposit is deemed unlikely, the Company recorded an impairment of the full deposit during the second quarter of 2025.

The above items were responsible for the change in operating profit.

The $3,007,000 decrease in other income was attributable to a decrease of $2,710,000 in interest income on marketable securities and an increase in interest expense of $297,000 related to the outstanding balance of the Company's revolving line of credit during the first nine months of 2025. Both stem from the increased investments in inventory required to support augmented Defense segment awards.

Earnings before provision for income taxes decreased $3,290,000 from $26,571,000 to $23,281,000. The provision for income taxes decreased from $5,843,000 to $5,202,000, which resulted in an effective income tax rate of 22% for both the first nine months ended September 28, 2025 and September 29, 2024. Net earnings decreased $2,649,000 from $20,728,000 to $18,079,000, or 13%.

**Liquidity and Capital Resources** 

Net cash used in operating activities was $23,054,000 during the first nine months of 2025 as compared to $45,793,000 cash used during the first nine months of 2024. The principal factors contributing to the change can be found in the changes in the components of working capital within the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Of particular note during the first nine months of 2025 were net earnings of $18,079,000, which included the non-cash impairment of a vendor deposit of $2,701,000 and depreciation and amortization expenses of $3,747,000. Contributing to the cash used were increases in accounts receivable and inventory levels, partially offset by net increases in payable and accrual levels. Of particular note during the first nine months of 2024 were net earnings of $20,728,000, which included non-cash depreciation and amortization expenses of $3,877,000. Contributing to the cash used were increases in inventory levels, as well as a net decrease in payable and accrual levels. These were partially offset by decreases in accounts receivable levels stemming from cash collections on customer sales and deposits made to vendors included in other current assets.

Net cash used in investing activities was $22,398,000 for the first nine months of 2025, while net cash provided by investing activities was $5,981,000 for the first nine months of 2024. Significant factors contributing to the change were net maturities and sales of marketable securities of $2,476,000 in 2025, and $9,624,000 in 2024; and purchases of property, plant and equipment of $25,555,000 in 2025, as opposed to $3,873,000 in 2024.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $29,878,000 for the first nine months of 2025, while net cash used in financing activities was $31,516,000 for the first nine months of 2024. The change primarily relates to net proceeds from the Company's line of credit in 2025 of $36,900,000, as well as the annual dividend payments. There was no extra dividend payment during 2025. In 2024, the extra dividend was $3.50 per share. Cash flows for both nine month periods also reflected the proceeds from the sale of treasury stock to a Company sponsored retirement plan. During 2025 and 2024, the Company incurred interest expense of $299,000 and $2,000 related to its line of credit, respectively.

Working capital decreased by $6,828,000 during the first nine months of 2025 to $285,397,000 at September 28, 2025 for the reasons stated above. The Company's current ratio was 3.5 to 1.0 and 4.9 to 1.0 at September 28, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

The Company expects to continue to evaluate acquisition opportunities that align with its business segments and will make further acquisitions, as well as continue to make capital investments in its business segments per existing authorized projects and for additional projects, if the appropriate return on investment is projected.

The Company has sufficient liquidity in the form of operating activities cash flows and a credit facility to meet all of its anticipated capital requirements, to make dividend payments, and to fund future growth through acquisitions and other means.

**Critical Accounting Estimates** 

The Company's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon its Consolidated Financial Statements. The preparation of the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the amount of reported assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the Consolidated Financial Statements and revenues and expenses during the periods reported. The estimates are based on experience and other assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable under the circumstances, and these estimates are evaluated on an ongoing basis. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

The Company's critical accounting policies are those that materially affect its Consolidated Financial Statements and involve difficult, subjective, or complex judgments by management. The Company reviewed the development and selection of the critical accounting policies and believes the following is the most critical accounting policy that could have an effect on the Company's reported results as it involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions as described above. This critical accounting policy and estimate has been reviewed with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. See Note A - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part II, Item 8 of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year-ended December 31, 2024 filed on March 14, 2025 for more detailed information regarding the Company's critical accounting policies.

<u>Impairment and Valuation of Long-lived Assets</u>

The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Long-lived assets consist of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, including the value of contracts/customer relationships, trademarks and safety certifications, trade secrets, and technology software. Determining whether an impairment has occurred typically requires various estimates and assumptions, including determining which cash flows are directly related to the potentially impaired asset, the useful life over which cash flows will occur, the amounts of the cash flows and the asset's residual value, if any. In turn, measurement of an impairment loss requires a determination of fair value, which is based on the best information available. The Company uses internal discounted cash flows estimates, quoted market prices when available, and independent appraisals, as appropriate, to determine fair value. The Company derives the required cash flow estimates from its historical experience and its internal business plans.

The Company recognizes the excess cost of acquired entities over the net amount assigned to the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as goodwill. Goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis at the start of the fourth quarter and between annual tests whenever an impairment is indicated. The impairment test for goodwill requires the determination of fair value of the reporting unit. The Company uses multiples of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization ("EBITDA"), sales, and discounted cash flow models, which are described above, to determine the reporting unit's fair value, as appropriate. The Company also uses qualitative analysis to assess goodwill impairment.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company's interest income on cash equivalents and marketable securities is affected by changes in interest rates in the United States. Cash equivalents primarily consist of money market funds. The balance of the Company's investments is held primarily in certificates of deposits and other fixed rate securities, with a weighted average life of 0.1 years. Accordingly, changes in interest rates have not had a material effect on the Company, and the Company does not anticipate that future exposure to interest rate market risk will be material. The Company uses sensitivity analysis to determine its exposure to changes in interest rates.

The Company has no history of, and does not anticipate in the future, investing in derivative financial instruments. Most transactions with international customers are entered into in U.S. dollars, precluding the need for foreign currency cash flow hedges. As the majority of the Housewares/Small Appliance segment's suppliers are located in China, periodic changes in the U.S. dollar and Chinese Renminbi (RMB) exchange rates do have an impact on that segment's product costs. It is anticipated that any potential material impact from fluctuations in the exchange rate will be to the cost of products secured via purchase orders issued subsequent to the revaluation.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

<u>Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures</u>

The Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Treasurer (principal financial officer), conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "1934 Act") as of September 28, 2025. Based on that evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Treasurer (principal financial officer) concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of that date.

There were no changes to internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 28, 2025 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
