Insights

Park Aerospace's Q1 FY2026 shows solid 10.2% YoY revenue growth and 109.5% earnings growth, driven by stronger margins and operational efficiency.

Park Aerospace delivered revenue of $15.4 million in Q1 FY2026, representing a healthy 10.2% year-over-year increase from $13.97 million in Q1 FY2025. However, sequentially, revenue declined 9.1% from $16.94 million in Q4 FY2025, showing some quarterly volatility in their aerospace materials business.

What's particularly impressive is the company's bottom-line performance. Net earnings more than doubled year-over-year to $2.08 million from $993,000, representing a substantial 109.5% increase. This growth is especially notable considering last year's Q1 included a $1.05 million storm damage charge. Even when comparing to normalized earnings before special items ($1.78 million in Q1 FY2025), Park still achieved 16.8% earnings growth.

Margin improvement stands out as a key strength. Gross profit margin expanded to 30.6% from 29.3% year-over-year, indicating more efficient operations or favorable pricing. Despite SG&A expenses increasing slightly from 14.4% to 14.9% of sales, the company maintained strong profitability with net margin reaching 13.5% compared to 7.1% a year ago.

The balance sheet remains solid with $65.57 million in cash and marketable securities, though this represents a slight decrease from $68.83 million at the end of the previous quarter. The company's equity per share stands at $5.29, providing substantial book value backing compared to the earnings per share of $0.10.

Park's Adjusted EBITDA increased to $2.96 million, up 13.5% from $2.61 million in Q1 FY2025, demonstrating improved operational efficiency. However, this metric declined sequentially from $3.42 million in Q4 FY2025, which aligns with the quarterly revenue pattern.

The year-over-year earnings growth during a period without special items suggests Park is executing well on its core aerospace materials business, though the sequential decline from Q4 bears watching to determine if it's seasonal or indicates softening demand.

Park believes that an evaluation of its ongoing operations would be difficult if the disclosure of its operating results were limited to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (�GAAP�) financial measures, which include special items, such as a charge related to storm damage, a non-cash tax charge, and reductions in uncertain tax positions. Accordingly, in addition to disclosing its operating results determined in accordance with GAAP, Park discloses non-GAAP measures, including Adjusted EBITDA, and operating results that exclude special items in order to assist its shareholders and other readers in assessing the Company’s operating performance, since the Company’s on-going, normal business operations do not include such special items. The detailed operating information presented below includes a reconciliation of the non-GAAP operating results before special items to earnings determined in accordance with GAAP and a reconciliation of GAAP pre-tax earnings to Adjusted EBITDA. Such non-GAAP financial measures are provided to supplement the results provided in accordance with GAAP.
