NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 - INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information, and rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the interim financial statements include all normal adjustments and disclosures necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of March 31, 2026, the results of its operations for the three and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2026, and 2025, and its cash flows for the nine-month periods ended March 31, 2026, and 2025. These statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and footnotes included in the fiscal 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Financial information as of June 30, 2025, has been derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Consolidation:
A summary of the Company’s significant accounting policies is included in Note 1 to the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company’s fiscal 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Revenue Recognition:
The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies the performance obligation in its customer contracts or purchase orders. Most of the Company’s products have a single performance obligation which is satisfied at a point in time when control is transferred to the customer. Control is generally transferred at the time of shipment when title and risk of ownership passes to the customer. For customer contracts with multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates the transaction price and any discounts to each performance obligation based on relative standalone selling prices. Payment terms are typically within 30 to 90 days from the shipping date, depending on the terms with the customer. The Company offers standard warranties that do not represent separate performance obligations.
Installation is a separate performance obligation, except for the Company’s digital signage products. For digital signage products, installation is not a separate performance obligation as the product and installation is the combined item promised in digital signage contracts. The Company is not always responsible for installation of products it sells and has no post-installation responsibilities other than standard warranties.
A number of the Company's display solutions and select lighting products are customized for specific customers. As a result, these customized products do not have an alternative use. For these products, the Company has a legal right to payment for performance to date and generally does not accept returns on these items. The measurement of performance is based upon cost plus a reasonable profit margin for work completed. Because there is no alternative use and there is a legal right to payment, the Company transfers control of the item as the item is being produced and therefore recognizes revenue over time. The customized product types are as follows:
| ● |
Customer Main Identification (MID) signage, print / digital graphics, and customer specific metal and millwork products |
| ● |
Electrical components based on customer specifications |
The Company also offers installation services for its display solutions elements and select lighting products. Installation revenue is recognized over time as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided through the installation process.
For these customized products and installation services, revenue is recognized using a cost-based input method: recognizing revenue and gross profit as work is performed based on the relationship between the actual cost incurred and the total estimated cost for the performance obligation.
On occasion, the Company enters into bill-and-hold arrangements on a limited basis. Each bill-and-hold arrangement is reviewed and revenue is recognized only when certain criteria have been met: (1) the customer has requested delayed delivery and storage of the products by the Company because the customer wants to secure a supply of the products but lacks storage space; (ii) the risk of ownership has passed to the customer; (iii) the products are segregated from the Company’s other inventory items held for sale; (iv) the products are ready for shipment to the customer; and (v) the Company does not have the ability to use the products or direct them to another customer.
Disaggregation of Revenue
The Company disaggregates the revenue from contracts with customers by the timing of revenue recognition because the Company believes it best depicts the nature, amount, and timing of its revenue and cash flows. The table below presents a reconciliation of the disaggregation by reportable segments:

Practical Expedients and Exemptions
| ● |
The Company’s contracts with customers have an expected duration of one year or less, as such, the Company applies the practical expedient to expense sales commissions as incurred and has omitted disclosures on the amount of remaining performance obligations. |
| ● |
Shipping costs that are not material in context of the delivery of products are expensed as incurred. |
| ● |
The Company’s accounts receivable balance represents the Company’s unconditional right to receive payment from its customers with contracts. Payments are generally due within 30 to 90 days of completion of the performance obligation and invoicing; therefore, payments do not contain significant financing components. |
| ● |
The Company collects sales tax and other taxes concurrent with revenue-producing activities which are excluded from revenue. Shipping and handling costs are treated as fulfillment activities and included in cost of products and services sold on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. |
New Accounting Pronouncements:
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. This ASU requires additional disclosures of various income tax components that affect the rate reconciliation based on the applicable taxing jurisdictions, as well as the qualitative and quantitative aspects of those components. The standard also requires information pertaining to taxes paid to be disaggregated for federal, state and foreign taxes, and contains other disclosure requirements. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of this new guidance on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
NOTE 3 — ACQUISITION OF CANADA’S BEST HOLDINGS
On March 11, 2025, the Company acquired Canada’s Best Holdings (CBH), an Ontario Canada-based leading provider of retail fixtures and custom store design solutions for grocery, quick service restaurant, c-store, banking, and specialty retail environments, for $25.9 million, subject to a working capital adjustment and future potential earnout payments up to $7.0 million. As of the acquisition date, total purchase consideration of $28.8 million includes the current fair value of the contingent consideration related to future earnout payments of $3.4 million. The future earnout payments include revenue and EBITDA goals for the fiscal years ending June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2027. The Company incurred acquisition-related costs totaling $1.0 million which are included in the selling and administrative expense line of the consolidated statements of operations.

NOTE 5 - SEGMENT REPORTING INFORMATION
The accounting guidance on Segment Reporting establishes standards for reporting information regarding operating segments in annual financial statements and requires selected information of those segments to be presented in financial statements. Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise for which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker (the Company’s Chief Executive Officer or “CODM”) in making decisions on how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company’s two operating segments are Lighting and Display Solutions, with one executive leadership team reporting directly to the CODM with responsibilities for managing the performance across the segments.
The Company’s methods for measuring profitability under GAAP on a reportable segment basis and used by the CODM to assess performance is adjusted net income. These measurements are used to monitor performance compared to prior periods and forecasted results. The CODM does not look at disaggregated expenses at the segment level. The CODM does review expenses on a consolidated basis which is consistent with the categories of expense reported on the consolidated statements of operations.
The Lighting Segment includes non-residential outdoor and indoor lighting fixtures utilizing LED light sources that have been fabricated and assembled for the Company’s markets, primarily the refueling and convenience store markets, parking lot and garage markets, quick-service restaurant market, retail and grocery store markets, the automotive market, the warehouse market, and the sports court and field market. The Company also services lighting product customers through the commercial and industrial project, stock and flow, and renovation channels. In addition to the manufacture and sale of lighting fixtures, the Company offers a variety of lighting controls to complement its lighting fixtures which include sensors, photocontrols, dimmers, motion detection and Bluetooth systems.

These products are used in visual image programs in several markets including the refueling and convenience store markets, quick-service and casual restaurant market, retail and grocery store, and other retail markets. The Company accesses its customers primarily through a direct sale model utilizing its own sales force. Sales through distribution represent a small portion of Display Solutions sales. The Display Solutions Segment also provides a variety of project management services to complement our display elements, such as installation management, site surveys, permitting, and content management which are offered to our customers to support our digital signage.

NOTE 9 - GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
The carrying values of goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives are reviewed at least annually for possible impairment. The Company may first assess qualitative factors in order to determine if goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are impaired. If through the qualitative assessment it is determined that it is more likely than not that goodwill and indefinite-lived assets are not impaired, no further testing is required. If it is determined more likely than not that goodwill and indefinite-lived assets are impaired, or if the Company elects not to first assess qualitative factors, the Company’s impairment testing continues with the estimation of the fair value of the reporting unit using a combination of a market approach and an income (discounted cash flow) approach, at the reporting unit level. The estimation of the fair value of the reporting unit requires significant management judgment with respect to revenue and expense growth rates, changes in working capital and the selection and use of an appropriate discount rate. The estimates of the fair value of reporting units are based on the best information available as of the date of the assessment. The use of different assumptions would increase or decrease estimated discounted future operating cash flows and could increase or decrease an impairment charge. Company management uses its judgment in assessing whether assets may have become impaired between annual impairment tests. Indicators such as adverse business conditions, economic factors and technological change or competitive activities may signal that an asset has become impaired.
The Company identified its reporting units in conjunction with its annual goodwill impairment testing. The Company has a total of six reporting units that contain goodwill. One reporting unit is within the Lighting Segment and five reporting units are within the Display Solutions Segment. The tradename intangible assets have an indefinite life and are also tested separately on an annual basis. The Company relies upon a number of factors, judgments and estimates when conducting its impairment testing including, but not limited to, the Company’s stock price, operating results, forecasts, anticipated future cash flows, and marketplace data. There are inherent uncertainties related to these factors and judgments in applying them to the analysis of goodwill impairment.
As of March 1, 2026, the Company performed its annual goodwill impairment test on the five reporting units that contain goodwill as of that date. The goodwill impairment test of the reporting unit in the Lighting Segment passed with a business enterprise value of $34.0 million or 13% above the carrying value of the reporting unit including goodwill. The goodwill impairment test of one reporting unit with goodwill in the Display Solutions Segment passed with an estimated business enterprise value of $27.3 million or significantly above the carrying value of the reporting unit including goodwill. The goodwill impairment test of the second reporting unit with goodwill in the Display Solutions Segment passed with an estimated business enterprise value of $114.9 million or 41% above the carrying value of the reporting unit including goodwill. The goodwill impairment test of the third reporting unit with goodwill in the Display Solutions Segment passed with an estimated business enterprise value of $65.7 million or 47% above the carrying value of the reporting unit including goodwill. The goodwill impairment test of the fourth reporting unit with goodwill in the Display Solutions Segment passed with an estimated business enterprise value of $26.6 million or 132% above the carrying value of the reporting unit including goodwill. The fifth reporting unit with goodwill in the Display Solutions Segment was acquired on March 24, 2026 which will be included in the annual goodwill impairment analysis as of March 1, 2027.

In March of 2026, the Company entered into a $350 million senior secured credit facility consisting of a $200 million five-year term loan and a $150 million revolving credit facility. The Company is required to make quarterly amortization payments of $2.5 million against the term loan, with the balance of the term loan due at maturity on March 24, 2031. The revolving credit facility is also scheduled to expire on March 24, 2031. Interest on the term loan and any loans made under the revolving credit facility is based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) or a customary base rate (which may include Daily Simple SOFR or the Prime Rate), to be determined by reference to customary market benchmarks, in each case plus an applicable margin that is anticipated to vary based on the Company’s consolidated total net leverage ratio, which is calculated to be consolidated funded debt minus unrestricted cash and cash equivalents against earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”), as defined in the line of credit agreement. As of March 31, 2026, the interest rate applicable to the term loan was 5.5% and the Company’s borrowing rate against its revolving line of credit was 6.2%. The increment over the SOFR borrowing rate is 250 basis points for the third quarter of fiscal year 2026. In addition to interest on outstanding amounts, the Company also pays a commitment fee on the unused balance of the revolving credit facility, fluctuates between 17.5 and 27.5 basis points based on the Company’s consolidated total net leverage ratio. Under the terms of the credit agreement, the Company is required to comply with a financial covenant that limits the ratio of indebtedness and unrestricted cash to EBITDA measured on a quarterly basis, with a maximum net leverage ratio of 4.00 to 1.00 at closing, which then steps down to 3.75 to 1.00 in the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2026 and further to 3.50 to 1.00 in the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2027. The Company is also required to maintain an interest coverage ratio, measured on a quarterly basis, equal to or above the minimum set forth in the agreement, which as of closing was 1.15 to 1.00. As of March 31, 2026, there was $88.9 million available for borrowing under the revolving credit facility for general business purposes.
The Company is in compliance with all of its loan covenants as of March 31, 2026.
NOTE 11 - CASH DIVIDENDS
The Company paid cash dividends of $4.6 million and $4.5 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2026, and March 31, 2025, respectively. Dividends on restricted stock units in the amount of $0.2 million and $0.2 million were accrued as of both March 31, 2026, and 2025, respectively. These dividends will be paid upon the vesting of the restricted stock units when shares are issued to the award recipients. In April 2026, the Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per share payable May 12, 2026, to shareholders of record as May 4, 2026. The indicated annual cash dividend rate is $0.20 per share.
NOTE 12 – EQUITY COMPENSATION
In November 2022, the Company's shareholders approved the amendment and restatement of the 2019 Omnibus Award Plan ("2019 Omnibus Plan") which increased the number of shares authorized for issuance under the plan by 2,350,000 and removed the Plan's fungible share counting feature. The purpose of the 2019 Omnibus Plan is to provide a means to attract and retain key personnel and to align the interests of the directors, officers, and employees with the Company's shareholders. The plan also provides a vehicle whereby directors and officers may acquire shares in order to meet the ownership requirements under the Company's Stock Ownership Policy. The 2019 Omnibus Plan allows for the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), performance stock units ("PSUs") and other awards. Except for RSU grants which are time-based, participants in the Company's Long-Term Equity Compensation Plans are awarded the opportunity to acquire shares over a three-year performance measurement period tied to specific company performance metrics. The number of shares that remain reserved for issuance under the 2019 Omnibus Plan is 1,016,256 as of March 31, 2026.
In the nine months ended March 31, 2026, the Company granted 121,440 PSUs and 85,958 RSUs, both with a weighted average market value of $19.54. Stock compensation expense was $0.9 million and $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025, respectively, and $3.0 million and $3.2 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025, respectively.
In November of 2021, our board of directors approved the LSI Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”). A total of 270,000 shares of common stock were provided for issuance under the ESPP. Employees may participate at their discretion and are able to purchase, through payroll deduction, common stock at a 10% discount on a quarterly basis. Employees may end their participation at any time during the offering period, and participation ends automatically upon termination of employment with the Company. During fiscal year 2026, employees purchased 14,000 shares. At March 31, 2026, 211,000 shares remained available for purchase under the ESPP.

NOTE 14 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company is party to various negotiations, customer bankruptcies, and legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business. The Company provides reserves for these matters when a loss is probable and reasonably estimable. The Company does not disclose a range of potential loss because the likelihood of such a loss is remote. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, cash flows or liquidity.
The Company recorded a $3.4 million contingent liability related to the future earnout payments as part of the acquisition of Canada’s Best Holding (CBH). (Refer to Note 3.) The decrease to $3.3 million from $3.4 million represents the value of the earnout converted from its functional currency to USD as of March 31, 2026, and June 30, 2025, respectively.
NOTE 15 - LEASES
The Company leases certain manufacturing facilities along with a small office space, several forklifts, several small tooling items, and various items of office equipment. The Company’s leases are operating leases and have a remaining term of one to nine years, some of which have an option to renew. The Company does not assume renewals in determining the lease term unless the renewals are deemed reasonably certain. The lease agreements do not contain any material residual guarantees or material variable lease payments. The number of operating leases increased in fiscal 2026 as a result of the acquisition of Royston; most of Royston’s operating leases are building leases.
The Company has periodically entered into short-term operating leases with an initial term of twelve months or less. The Company elected not to record these leases on the balance sheet. The rent expense for these leases was immaterial for March 31, 2026, and 2025.
The Company has certain leases that contain lease and non-lease components and has elected to utilize the practical expedient to account for these components together as a single lease component.
Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company used its incremental borrowing rate when determining the present value of lease payments.

NOTE 16 – INCOME TAXES
The Company's effective income tax rate is based on expected income, statutory rates, and tax planning opportunities available in the various jurisdictions in which it operates. For interim financial reporting, the Company estimates the annual income tax rate based on projected taxable income for the full year and records a quarterly income tax provision or benefit in accordance with the anticipated annual rate. The Company refines the estimates of the year's taxable income as new information becomes available, including actual year-to-date financial results. This continual estimation process often results in a change to the expected effective income tax rate for the year. When this occurs, the Company adjusts the income tax provision during the quarter in which the change in estimate occurs so that the year-to-date provision reflects the expected income tax rate. Significant judgment is required in determining the effective tax rate and in evaluating tax positions. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 the anticipated rate is significantly greater than the statutory tax rate because of certain non-deductible transaction costs related to the Royston acquisition included in the projected effective tax rate.

Net sales of $150.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, increased 14% as compared to net sales of $132.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase in net sales reflects growth in both of the Company’s segments with a 23% sales growth in the Display Solutions segment and a 2% sales growth in the Lighting segment. The 23% growth in the Display Solutions Segment was primarily driven by strong demand levels across a broad base of customers in both the grocery and refueling/c-store verticals. Third quarter net sales in the Display Solutions segment also reflects Royston net sales of $6.6 million for the 6-day stub period. Royston was acquired on March 24, 2026. Lighting Segment sales improved 2% compared to the same period last year despite a lengthening project quote to order conversion period.
Net sales of $454.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2026, increased 9% as compared to net sales of $418.3 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2025. The increase in net sales reflects growth in both of the Company’s segments with a 7% sales growth in the Display Solutions segment and a 12% sales growth in the Lighting segment. As stated in the overview of the third quarter, the demand levels across a broad base of customers in both the grocery and refueling/c-store verticals contributed to the year-over-year growth in the Display Solutions segment. Net sales in the period for the Display Solutions segment also reflects Royston net sales of $6.6 million for the 6-day stub period. Royston was acquired on March 24, 2026. Growth in the Lighting Segment continued for the third straight quarter with period-over-period sales growth contributing to the year-to-date growth in net sales of 12%.
Operating income of $4.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, represents a 35% decrease in operating income from $6.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025. Operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2026, was impacted by $6.5 million of acquisition-related costs. Adjusted operating income, a Non-GAAP measure, was $13.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2026, representing a 39% increase compared to adjusted operating income of $9.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025. Refer to “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for a reconciliation of Non-GAAP financial measures to U.S. GAAP measures. The quarter-over-quarter sales growth of 14% coupled with improved margins resulting from improved productivity and price optimization resulted in leveraged adjusted operating income growth.
Operating income of $23.9 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2026, represents a slight increase from operating income of $23.8 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2025. Operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2026, was impacted by $6.9 million of acquisition-related costs. Adjusted operating income, a Non-GAAP financial measure, was $39.1 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2026, compared to adjusted operating income of $33.2 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2025. Refer to “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for a reconciliation of Non-GAAP financial measures to U.S. GAAP measures. The year-over-year sales growth of 9% coupled with improved margins resulting from improved productivity and price optimization resulted in the growth in operating income.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This report includes adjustments to GAAP operating income, net income, and earnings per share for the three months and nine months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025. Operating income, net income, and earnings per share, which exclude the impact of long-term performance-based compensation expense, the amortization expense of acquired intangible assets, commercial growth opportunity expense, acquisition costs, the lease expense on the step-up basis of acquired leases, and restructuring and severance costs, are non-GAAP financial measures. We further note that while the amortization expense of acquired intangible assets is excluded from the non-GAAP financial measures, the revenue of the acquired companies is included in the measures, and the acquired assets contribute to the generation of revenue. We believe these non-GAAP measures will provide increased transparency to our core operating performance of the business. Also included in this report are non-GAAP financial measures, including Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA), Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA, and Free Cash Flow. We believe that these are useful as supplemental measures in assessing the operating performance of our business. These measures are used by our management, including our chief operating decision maker, to evaluate business results, and are frequently referenced by those who follow the Company. These non-GAAP measures may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. In addition, the non-GAAP measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. Non-GAAP measures have limitations, in that they do not reflect all amounts associated with our results as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Therefore, these measures should be used only to evaluate our results in conjunction with corresponding GAAP measures.

Display Solutions net sales of $90.5 million increased 23% from same period in fiscal 2025. The 23% growth in the Display Solutions Segment was primarily driven by strong demand levels across a broad base of customers in both the grocery and refueling/c-store verticals. Third quarter net sales in the Display Solutions segment also reflects Royston net sales of $6.6 million for the 6-day stub period. Royston was acquired on March 24, 2026.
Gross profit of $17.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2026, increased 39% from the same period of fiscal 2025. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales improved 220 basis points from the same period as last year. The strong demand in grocery and refueling/c-store verticals coupled with increased productivity and price optimization contributed to the quarter-over-quarter leveraged growth in gross margin.
Operating expenses of $9.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2026, increased 19% from the same period of fiscal 2025, primarily driven by the acquisition costs and related operating costs related to the Royston acquisition, and by continued investment in commercial initiatives to drive growth.
Display Solutions Segment operating income of $7.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2026, increased 75% from the same period of fiscal 2025. The increase in operating income, driven by the net effect of an increase in net sales, improved gross margin as a percentage of sales, partially offset by an increase in operating expenses.

Lighting Segment net sales of $60.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2026, increased 2% compared to net sales of $59.0 million in the same period in fiscal 2025. Lighting Segment sales improved 2% compared to the same period last year despite less favorable weather conditions in the early part of the quarter.
Gross profit of $20.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2026, increased 3% from the same period of fiscal 2025. Gross profit as a percentage of sales improved 30 basis points as a result of pricing actions taken in response to shifts in material input costs.
Operating expenses of $14.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2026, increased 6% from the same period of fiscal 2025, driven mostly by higher commission expense from improved sales along with a continued investment in sales initiatives to generate sales growth.
Lighting Segment operating income of $7.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, decreased 3% from operating income of $7.2 million in the same period of fiscal 2025 primarily driven by the net effect of an increase in net sales, a 30-basis point improvement in gross margin, offset by an increase in operating expenses.

The gross profit relates to the change in the intercompany profit in inventory elimination.
Operating expenses of $10.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2026, increased from $5.4 million from the same period of fiscal 2025. The increase in expense is primarily the result of acquisition-related costs for Royston and CBH of $5.3 million.
Consolidated Results
The Company reported $0.5 million and $0.7 million of net interest expense in the three months ended March 31, 2026, and March 31, 2025, respectively. The decrease in interest expense is the result of a reduction of quarter-over-quarter average outstanding debt driven by profitability and by sustained working capital management. The overall reduction in interest expense was partially offset by the company incurred additional debt on March 24, 2026 to acquire Royston. The Company also recorded other expense of $0.2 million compared to other income of ($0.1) million in the three months ended March 31, 2026, and March 31, 2025, respectively, which is related to net foreign exchange currency transaction gains and losses through the Company’s Mexican and Canadian subsidiaries.
The $1.3 million of income tax expense in the three months ended March 31, 2026, represents a consolidated effective tax rate of 37.7%. The $1.7 million of income tax expense in the three months ended March 31, 2025, represents a consolidated effective tax rate of 30.6%. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2026, was impacted by the unfavorable tax treatment related to acquisition-related costs. Impacting the effective tax rate of both reported periods was the favorable tax treatment of the Company’s long-term performance-based compensation.
The Company reported net income of $2.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to net income of $3.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025. Non-GAAP adjusted net income was $9.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to adjusted net income of $6.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 (Refer to the Non-GAAP tables above). The increase in Non-GAAP adjusted net income is primarily the net result of an increase in net sales, improved gross margin rate resulting from improved productivity and price optimization, partially offset by an increase in operating expense mostly resulting from an increase in sales. Diluted adjusted earnings per share of $0.28 was reported in the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $0.20 diluted adjusted earnings per share in the same period of fiscal 2025. The weighted average common shares outstanding for purposes of computing diluted earnings per share in the three months ended March 31, 2026, were 33,855,000 shares compared to 30,966,000 shares in the same period last year.

Display Solutions net sales of $259.0 million increased 7% from same period in fiscal 2025. Net sales within the Display Solution segment have returned to its normal seasonal sales levels, driven in part by the third quarter growth resulting from strong demand levels across a broad base of customers in both the grocery and refueling/c-store verticals. Year-to-date net sales in the Display Solutions segment also reflects Royston net sales of $6.6 million for the 6-day stub period. Royston was acquired on March 24, 2026.
Gross profit of $48.8 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2026, increased 13% from the same period of fiscal 2025. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales in the nine months ended March 31, 2026, increased 100 basis points. The strong demand in grocery and refueling/c-store verticals coupled with increased productivity and price optimization contributed to the year-over-year leveraged growth in gross margin.
Operating expenses of $26.2 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2026, increased 14% from the same period of fiscal 2025, primarily driven by the acquisition costs and related operating costs related to the Royston acquisition, and by continued investment in commercial initiatives to drive growth.
Operating income of $22.6 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2026, increased 11% from the same period of fiscal 2025. The increase in operating income driven by the net effect of an increase in net sales, improved gross margin as a percentage of sales, partially offset by an increase in operating expenses.

Lighting Segment net sales of $195.8 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2026, increased 12% compared to net sales of $175.6 million in the same period in fiscal 2025. The increase in net sales is the result of the Company’s investment in commercial initiatives to drive growth which continues to deliver above market net sales growth despite overall market headwinds.
Gross profit of $67.1 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2026, increased 16% from the same period of fiscal 2025. Gross profit as a percentage of sales improved 120 basis points as a result of pricing actions taken in response to shifts in material input costs.
Operating expenses of $44.1 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2026, increased 16% from the same period of fiscal 2025, driven mostly by higher commission expense from higher sales along with a continued investment in sales initiatives to generate sales growth.
Lighting Segment operating income of $23.0 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2026, increased 22% from operating income of $18.9 million in the same period of fiscal 2025. The increase in operating income is primarily driven by the net effect of an increase in net sales, a 120-basis point improvement in gross margin, partially offset by an increase in operating expenses.

Operating expenses of $21.7 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2026, increased from $15.4 from the same period of fiscal 2025. The increase in expense is primarily the result of acquisition-related costs of $5.9 million and also by a small increase in an investment in commercial initiatives to support the growth of the Company.
Consolidated Results
The Company reported $1.8 million and $2.3 million of net interest expense in the nine months ended March 31, 2026, and March 31, 2025, respectively. The decrease in interest expense is the result of a reduction of year-over-year average outstanding debt driven by profitability and by sustained working capital management. The overall reduction in interest expense was partially offset by the company incurred additional debt on March 24, 2026 to acquire Royston. The Company also recorded other expense of $0.7 million and $0.3 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2026, and March 31, 2025, respectively, both of which are related to net foreign exchange currency transaction gains and losses through the Company’s Mexican and Canadian subsidiaries.
The $5.7 million of income tax expense in the nine months ended March 31, 2026, represents a consolidated effective tax rate of 26.8%. The $5.0 million of income tax expense in the nine months ended March 31, 2025, represents a consolidated effective tax rate of 23.7%. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2026, was impacted by the unfavorable tax treatment related to acquisition-related costs. Impacting the effective tax rate of both reported periods was the favorable tax treatment of the Company’s long-term performance-based compensation.
The Company reported net income of $15.7 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2026, compared to net income of $16.2 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2025. Non-GAAP adjusted net income was $27.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2026, compared to adjusted net income of $22.3 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2025 (Refer to the Non-GAAP tables above). The increase in Non-GAAP adjusted net income is primarily the net result of an increase in net sales, improved gross margin rate resulting from improved productivity and price optimization, partially offset by an increase in operating expense mainly resulting from an increase in sales. Diluted adjusted earnings per share of $0.86 was reported in the nine months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $0.72 diluted adjusted earnings per share in the same period of fiscal 2025. The weighted average common shares outstanding for purposes of computing diluted earnings per share in the nine months ended March 31, 2026, were 32,387,000 shares compared to 30,790,000 shares in the same period last year.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company considers its level of cash on hand, borrowing capacity, current ratio and working capital levels to be its most important measures of short-term liquidity. For long-term liquidity indicators, the Company believes its ratio of long-term debt to equity and our historical levels of net cash flows from operating activities to be the most important measures.
At March 31, 2026, the Company had working capital of $90.9 million compared to $96.8 million at June 30, 2025. The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 1.5 to 1 as of March 31, 2026, and 2.0 as of June 30, 2025. The acquisition of Royston in the third quarter of fiscal 2026 accounted for an additional $47.7 million of net working capital and also added $58 million in short-term debt. When the impact of the acquisition of Royston is removed from the year-over-year comparison, net working capital increased $4.4 million to $101.2 million. The net increase in working capital excluding Royston is the result of a $6.2 million decrease in net accounts receivable more than offset by a $4.3 million increase in inventory, a $2.3 million increase in other current assets and a $2.9 million decrease in current liabilities.
Net accounts receivable was $135.8 million and $104.3 million at March 31, 2026, and June 30, 2025, respectively. The acquisition of Royston accounted for $37.6 million of the year-over-year change. DSO increased to 63 days at March 31, 2026, excluding the impact of Royston, from 57 days at June 30, 2025.
Net inventories of $116.6 million at March 31, 2026, increased $36.8 million from $79.8 million at June 30, 2025. The acquisition of Royston accounted for $32.5 million of the increase in net inventory. When the impact of the Royston acquisition is removed from the period-over-period change in net inventory, net inventory increased $4.3 million. The increase in the Lighting Segment net inventory accounted for all of the increase in total net inventory.
Cash generated from operations and borrowing capacity under the Company’s line of credit is its primary source of liquidity. The Company has a $200 million term loan and a $150 million revolving line of credit. Both credit facilities commenced in the third quarter of fiscal 2026 to accommodate the acquisition of Royston. Both credit facilities expire in the third quarter of fiscal 2031. As of March 31, 2026, $89 million of the credit line was available. The Company is in compliance with all of its loan covenants as of March 31, 2026. The $350 million credit facility plus cash flows from operating activities are adequate for operational and capital expenditure needs for the remainder of fiscal 2026.
The Company generated $32.6 million of cash from operating activities in the nine months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $28.6 million of cash generated from operating activities in the same period in fiscal 2025. The Company continues to effectively manage its working capital while generating increasing cash flow from earnings in both fiscal years, resulting in strong cash flow from operations.
The Company invested $3.2 million and $2.5 million of cash related to purchases of property, plant and equipment in the nine months ended March 31, 2026, and March 31, 2025, respectively. The Company continues to invest in equipment and tooling to support sales growth. In the third quarter of FY 2026 the Company acquired Royston for $336.8 million net of cash received.
The Company had a net source of cash of $309.3 million and a net use of cash of $3.2 million related to financing activities in the nine months ended March 31, 2026, and March 31, 2025, respectively. The acquisition of Royston accounted for $238.7 million of the source of cash through the debt refinancing from the Company’s credit facility. In addition, the Company raised $98.1 million of net proceeds from the sale of common stock in a public equity offering in February of 2026. Both the debt financing along with the public equity offering served as the source of funds to acquire Royston. Not including the cost to acquire Royston, the Company continues to generate positive cash flow from its operations in order to pay down its debt and fund its dividend payments to shareholders.
The Company has on its balance sheet financial instruments consisting primarily of cash and cash equivalents, revolving lines of credit, and long-term debt. The fair value of these financial instruments approximates carrying value because of their short-term maturity and/or variable, market-driven interest rates.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company has no financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk and have no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Cash Dividends
In April 2026, the Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per share payable May 12, 2026, to shareholders of record as of May 4, 2026. The indicated annual cash dividend rate for fiscal 2026 is $0.20 per share. The Board of Directors has adopted a policy regarding dividends which indicates that dividends will be determined by the Board of Directors in its discretion based upon its evaluation of earnings, cash flow requirements, financial condition, debt levels, stock repurchases, future business developments and opportunities, and other factors deemed relevant.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within required time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
We conducted, under the supervision of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act. Based upon our evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2026, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective. Management believes that the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are fairly presented in all material respects in accordance with GAAP for interim financial statements, and the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have certified that, based on their knowledge, the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report fairly present in all material respects the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for each of the periods presented in this report.

The Board of Directors has determined to hold the 2026 annual meeting of shareholders (the “2026 Annual Meeting”) on December 8, 2026. The time, location and details of the 2026 Annual Meeting will be specified in our 2026 proxy statement. Because the date of the 2026 Annual Meeting has been changed by more than 30 days since the first anniversary of our 2025 Annual Meeting held on November 4, 2025, the Board has set a new deadline for the receipt of any shareholder proposals submitted for the 2026 Annual Meeting.
If a shareholder desires to present a proposal for inclusion in our proxy statement for the 2026 Annual Meeting, the proposal must be submitted in writing to us for receipt not later than June 29, 2026. Additionally, to be included in our proxy materials, proposals must comply with the proxy rules relating to shareholder proposals, in particular Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act. Shareholders who wish to raise a proposal for consideration at the 2026 Annual Meeting, but who do not wish to submit a proposal for inclusion in our proxy materials pursuant to Rule 14a-8, should comply with our bylaws and deliver to us a copy of their proposal no later than August 10, 2026. If a shareholder fails to provide such notice, the respective proposal need not be addressed in our proxy materials and the proxies may exercise their discretionary voting authority if the proposal is raised at the 2026 Annual Meeting. In addition to satisfying the requirements of the advance notice provisions of our bylaws, shareholders who intend to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than our nominees must provide us with the information required by Rule 14a-19(b) under the Exchange Act.
