ESP

Espey Mfg. & Electronics Corp. ESP has declined 15% since the company reported its earnings for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, compared with the S&P 500 index’s 0.1% growth over the same period. Over the past month, the stock has declined 12.1%, underperforming the S&P 500’s 5% growth, reflecting a weaker investor reaction despite the company’s improved profitability. For the fiscal third quarter of 2026, Espey reported earnings per share of 99 cents, which rose from 63 cents in the prior-year quarter. Net sales of $11.4 million indicated a 10.9% increase from $10.3 million in the year-ago quarter. Net income climbed 68.1% to $2.9 million from $1.7 million a year earlier. Gross profit improved 43.4% year over year to $4.2 million, and gross margin expanded to 37% from 28.6%. Espey Mfg. & Electronics Corp. price-consensus-eps-surprise-chart | Espey Mfg. & Electronics Corp. Quote Espey ended the quarter with a backlog of approximately $137.1 million compared with $138 million at the same point last year. About $92.7 million of the backlog came from three significant customers. Management noted that 11% of the current backlog is expected to be recognized during fiscal 2026, 38% in fiscal 2027, 22% in fiscal 2028 and the remainder thereafter. The company received $30 million in new orders during the first nine months of fiscal 2026, down sharply from $75.1 million in the comparable prior-year period, which had benefited from two major multiyear contract awards totaling $49.4 million. Despite the slowdown, Espey said it had approximately $152.5 million in outstanding business opportunities spanning repeat and new programs as of May 7, 2026. Contract liabilities increased to $33.5 million from $22.9 million at June 30, 2025, largely reflecting advance cash collections on certain contracts. Meanwhile, inventories rose significantly to $26.6 million from $17.8 million as the company continued work on contracts in process. Management attributed the third-quarter sales increase primarily to higher activity on several magnetics programs and increased field service work, partly offset by lower sales from certain power supply and build-to-print programs. For the nine-month period, lower sales reflected shipment timing, milestone completion schedules and reduced deliveries on some power supply programs. Gross margin improvement was driven by product mix, labor efficiencies and process improvements, though partially offset by additional investments tied to certain fixed-price engineering contracts. Espey said some power supply programs required additional testing and design modifications during development. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased modestly due to higher employee health benefits, ESOP contributions, facility costs and professional services. Other income rose significantly, helped by higher interest income from larger balances held in money market accounts and investment securities. Interest income for the quarter increased to $0.4 million from $0.3 million a year earlier. Management expects fiscal 2026 revenue to exceed fiscal 2025 levels, driven largely by shipments already included in backlog that are expected to occur before fiscal year-end. The company also anticipates that fiscal 2026 net income will surpass the prior year’s results. Espey acknowledged that government shutdowns have affected some short-term deliverables but said it does not currently expect a material effect on full-year results. The company also cited ongoing risks tied to supply chain constraints, labor availability, inflationary pressures and tariffs on steel and aluminum imports. Espey finished the quarter with cash and cash equivalents of $21.2 million, up from $18.9 million at June 30, 2025. Investment securities totaled $25.5 million. Working capital rose to approximately $50.5 million from $39.9 million a year earlier. The company said it has funded operations through internally generated cash flows and existing investments and does not expect to require borrowings in the near future. During fiscal 2025, Espey received a $3.4 million funding award from the U.S. Navy to support facility and capital equipment upgrades tied to the Surface Combatant Industrial Base initiative. As of March 31, 2026, the company had received approximately $2 million in milestone reimbursements and placed $3.2 million of related assets into service.

Shares of Espey Mfg. & Electronics Corp. ESP have declined 12.8% since the company reported its earnings for the quarter ended Dec. 31, 2025. This compares to the S&P 500 index’s 2% decline over the same time frame. Over the past month, the stock has declined 2.4% compared with the S&P 500’s 2% decrease. For the second quarter of fiscal 2026, Espey reported net income of 99 cents per share, up from 71 cents per share in the prior-year quarter. Net sales decreased 10.8% to $12.1 million from $13.6 million a year earlier. Despite the top-line decline, net income rose 47% to $2.8 million compared with $1.9 million in the prior-year quarter. Espey Mfg. & Electronics Corp. price-consensus-eps-surprise-chart | Espey Mfg. & Electronics Corp. Quote Gross profit for the quarter climbed to $4.2 million from $3.2 million in the prior-year period, lifting gross margin to 34.7% from 23.2%. Management attributed the stronger profitability primarily to product mix, labor efficiencies and process improvements, partially offset by higher-than-anticipated costs on certain fixed-price engineering contracts. Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses were essentially flat year over year at $1.1 million in the quarter. Higher ESOP contributions, salaries and professional services contributed to the increase, partly offset by lower stock option expense and certain other costs. Interest income also provided a boost. Other income increased to $0.4 million in the quarter from $0.3 million a year earlier, reflecting higher interest earned on cash and investment balances. Espey reported a total backlog of $134.7 million as of Dec. 31, 2025, up from $120.1 million a year earlier. Approximately $88.8 million of the current backlog is tied to three significant customers. The company expects at least $26.8 million of this backlog to be filled during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026. New orders in the first six months of fiscal 2026 totaled about $16.3 million, down from $46.9 million in the prior-year period, which had included two significant multi-year awards. Management indicated that fiscal 2026 new orders are expected to be lower than those received in fiscal 2025. Management expects higher revenues in fiscal 2026 compared with fiscal 2025, driven by orders already in backlog. Although first-half fiscal 2026 sales were lighter than the prior year, leadership anticipates stable performance for the remainder of the year and believes full-year net income will approximate fiscal 2025 levels. The company also cited ongoing inflationary pressures, tariffs and potential supply chain or labor constraints as risks, though it does not expect a material impact on fiscal 2026 operating income based on current conditions. Working capital stood at approximately $48.9 million at Dec. 31, 2025, up from $40.2 million a year earlier. Cash and cash equivalents totaled $17.8 million at quarter-end. Operating cash flow for the six months was $2.9 million, compared with $6.8 million in the prior-year period, with the decline largely tied to inventory builds and working capital changes. During the six months ended Dec. 31, 2025, Espey received $2 million in milestone reimbursements under a previously announced $3.4 million U.S. Navy funding award supporting facility and capital equipment upgrades. The company expects to complete the related work by the end of fiscal 2026 and must invest approximately 15% of its own funds beyond the grant amount to receive full reimbursement.

Shares of Espey Mfg. & Electronics Corp. ESP have gained 1.1% since the company reported its earnings for the quarter ended Sept. 30, 2025. This compares to the S&P 500 index’s 2% decline over the same time frame. Over the past month, the stock has gained 1.7% compared with the S&P 500’s 0.2% growth. Espey reported first-quarter fiscal 2026 net income of 76 cents per share, up from 61 cents per share in the prior-year period. Net sales of $9.1 million for the quarter reflected a 12.9% decline from the $10.4 million posted in the same quarter a year earlier. Despite the revenue contraction, net income rose to $2.2 million compared to $1.6 million in the prior-year period. Gross profit rose 14.9% to $3.2 million, pushing gross margin up to 35.4% from 26.8% in the year-ago quarter. The company also declared and paid total dividends of $1.00 per share, including a special dividend of 75 cents, up from 25 cents in the prior-year quarter. Espey Mfg. & Electronics Corp. price-consensus-eps-surprise-chart | Espey Mfg. & Electronics Corp. Quote The jump in gross margin and profitability stemmed from improved product mix, labor efficiencies, and cost management. Operating income reached $2.1 million, up from $1.7 million in the prior-year quarter, even as selling, general and administrative expenses rose by 6.4% to $1.2 million. Interest income nearly doubled year over year to $0.5 million thanks to higher cash balances and investment yields. Total comprehensive income came in at $2.2 million, compared to $1.6 million a year ago. Cash flow from operations was robust at $5.7 million, a significant increase from $1.4 million in the prior-year quarter, driven by higher customer advances and lower receivables. Capital expenditures totaled $1.3 million, offset by $1 million in milestone reimbursements under a Navy funding program. Management attributed the lower sales to fewer deliveries and milestone completions tied to the product mix. Key contributors to the decline included the wind-down of a significant build-to-print program and lower shipments on select magnetics and power supply contracts. However, these were partially offset by increases in other core programs. The company emphasized that the sales decrease was not indicative of a long-term trend, but rather due to the timing of shipments. Leadership remains confident in the company’s engineering and production capabilities, highlighting their vertically integrated model and commitment to delivering on military and industrial contracts. Operational efficiencies and procurement savings were also credited for the improvement in gross margins. Espey’s revenue model is heavily influenced by milestone-based and delivery-based billing. Of the $9.1 million in total net sales, $7.3 million was recognized based on units delivered and $1.8 million from milestone achievements. The decline in revenues compared to the prior year ($10.4 million total) was mainly due to fewer deliveries and milestone completions during the quarter. The company’s top five customers accounted for nearly 80% of total sales, up from 52% in the year-ago period, underscoring customer concentration. Tax expense was $0.39 million, down slightly from the prior-year’s $0.4 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 15.2%, lower than last year’s 20%. The decrease reflects tax benefits from employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) dividends, stock-based compensation, and deductions on foreign-derived intangible income (FDII). Espey anticipates higher revenues for fiscal 2026 compared to fiscal 2025, supported by a healthy backlog of $141.1 million as of Sept. 30, 2025. Management expects at least $38.9 million of the backlog to convert into revenues by June 30, 2026. However, the company also indicated that new orders for fiscal 2026 may be lower than fiscal 2025’s total of $86.4 million, which had included two major multi-year awards. First-quarter fiscal 2026 new orders totaled $10.5 million, up from $7.8 million in the same quarter last year. Espey noted approximately $161.5 million in outstanding opportunities across new and repeat business lines, but cautioned that awards remain subject to competitive bidding and U.S. defense spending dynamics. The company continues to make progress on a $3.4 million Navy-funded capital improvement initiative aimed at enhancing test and qualification infrastructure. As of Sept. 30, 2025, Espey had received $1 million in milestone reimbursements and spent $1.9 million, with $0.6 million of equipment already placed in service. The project, based in Saratoga Springs, NY, is expected to be completed by fiscal year-end 2026 and requires Espey to contribute approximately $0.5 million of its own funds.

Mr. David O’Neil, President and CEO, commented, Our team maintained solid execution this period. Despite softer sales, we saw significant improvement in gross profit, backlog levels, and net income results for the quarter. The year-over-year sales decline reflects nothing more than a change in the timing of shipments for the year. Our team continues to focus on finding labor efficiencies, negotiating savings on materials, and effective resource management—efforts that are clearly reflected in the strength of our gross profits. Overall, the progress we made this quarter positions the Company well for the rest of the fiscal year and highlights our ongoing commitment to creating value for our stockholders.

Shares of Espey Mfg. & Electronics Corp. ESP have declined 10.3% since the company reported its earnings for the quarter ended June 30, 2025. This compares to the S&P 500 index’s 0.8% growth over the same time frame. Over the past month, the stock has gained 14.5% compared with the S&P 500’s 4.5% growth. For the fourth quarter of 2025, Espey reported net income of $1.05 per share, up from 73 cents per share a year earlier. The company generated net sales of $9.6 million, down from $11.6 million in the prior-year quarter. Nevertheless, quarterly net income rose to $2.9 million from $1.9 million a year earlier. Espey Mfg. & Electronics Corp. price-consensus-eps-surprise-chart | Espey Mfg. & Electronics Corp. Quote Espey posted net income of $8.1 million for fiscal 2025, up from $5.8 million in the prior year, representing an increase of about 40%. The earnings improvement translated into higher earnings per share, with EPS rising to $3.02 from $2.29. Espey’s backlog reached approximately $139.7 million as of June 30, 2025, up sharply from the prior year. The company expects 35% of this backlog to be recognized as revenue in fiscal 2026, 19% in 2027, 15% in 2028, and the remaining 31% thereafter. Export shipments also grew, totaling $3.1 million in 2025 compared with $2.4 million a year earlier. On the customer side, sales concentration remained high, with six domestic customers accounting for 74% of sales in fiscal 2025. This compares to five customers making up 81% of sales in 2024, underscoring the company’s reliance on a handful of large defense and industrial accounts. Management anticipates revenues in fiscal 2026 will be higher than in fiscal 2025. However, net income per share is expected to decline due to orders in the backlog scheduled for shipment with higher anticipated aggregate costs than last year’s mix. Inflationary pressures and ongoing supply chain challenges — particularly long lead times and part obsolescence — remain notable hurdles. In some cases, component waiting times approach a year or more, forcing Espey to adjust its internal schedules and quotations accordingly. The labor market also presents challenges, with specific skillsets in short supply and lower local unemployment rates creating a competitive recruiting environment. While the company’s workforce remains stable, management emphasized the need for continued training and recruitment beyond its immediate geographic region. The improvement in net income was partly shaped by operational adjustments and tax benefits. The provision for income taxes declined to $1.6 million in 2025 from $1.5 million in 2024. Additionally, Espey recorded higher stock-based compensation expenses ($0.35 million vs. $0.28 million in 2024) and a larger ESOP compensation expense ($0.6 million vs. $0.4 million). Despite these rising costs, overall profitability advanced due to revenue growth and operating efficiencies. Espey received a $3.4 million funding award during fiscal 2025 from the U.S. Navy to support facility and capital equipment upgrades. This investment is part of the Navy’s initiative to strengthen the Surface Combatant Industrial Base. Work tied to this award, including testing and qualification capabilities at Espey’s Saratoga Springs, NY site, is expected to be completed by the end of fiscal 2026. Additionally, the company finalized its withdrawal from the IBEW Local 1799 Pension Fund, making a final payment of $0.5 million in May 2025. The liability associated with this withdrawal was recognized in product costs and expensed through cost of sales. Want the latest recommendations from Zacks Investment Research?
