NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. DESCRIPTION OF THE COMPANY

Richardson Electronics, Ltd. (the "Company," "we," "our") is a global manufacturer of engineered solutions, green energy products, power grid and microwave tubes, and related consumables; power conversion and RF and microwave components including green energy solutions; tubes for diagnostic imaging equipment; and customized display solutions. We have manufacturing at our facilities located in LaFox, Illinois, Marlborough, Massachusetts, and Donaueschingen, Germany.

We serve customers in alternative energy, healthcare, aviation, broadcast, communications, industrial, marine, medical, military, scientific, and semiconductor markets. The Company’s strategy is to provide specialized technical expertise and “engineered solutions” based on our core engineering and manufacturing capabilities. The Company products and services include design-in support, systems integration, prototype design and manufacturing, testing, logistics, and aftermarket technical service and repair. Our products include electron tubes and related components, microwave generators, subsystems used in semiconductor manufacturing and visual technology solutions. These products are used to control, switch or amplify electrical power signals, or are used as display devices in a variety of industrial, commercial, medical and communication applications.

On January 24, 2025, the Company sold a substantial portion of the assets of its Healthcare business to DirectMed Imaging, LLC (“DirectMed”), a Delaware limited liability company, and entered into an exclusive 10-year global supply agreement in which Richardson will supply DirectMed with repaired Siemens CT X-ray tubes. Additionally, the Company will continue manufacturing a limited quantity of ALTA CT X-ray tubes exclusively for DirectMed for approximately twelve months.

During the year ended May 31, 2025 and prior we had four reportable segments: Power and Microwave Technologies ("PMT"), Green Energy Solutions ("GES"), Canvys, and Healthcare. As of June 1, 2025, we realigned our operating segment structure and now have three segments: PMT, GES and Canvys. The change in operating segments is predicated on how the Company's chief operating decision maker ("CODM") makes operating decisions and assesses business performance. Prior segment information has been recast to reflect the realignment. Refer to Note 9, Segment Information, for discussion of the Company's segment reporting structure, including the recent changes.

We currently operate within the following major geographic regions: North America, Asia/Pacific, Europe and Latin America.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.

Our fiscal quarter ends on the Saturday nearest the end of the quarter-ending month. The first quarter of fiscal 2026 and fiscal 2025 both contained 13 weeks. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of interim periods have been made. All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated. The Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements presented herein include the accounts of our wholly owned subsidiaries. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to applicable rules and regulations. The results of our operations for the three months ended August 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending May 30, 2026.

As described in Note 1, Description of the Company, the Company reports its financial performance based on three operating and reportable segments. The financial information contained in this report should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2025, which was filed with the SEC on August 4, 2025.

3. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS - NOT YET ADOPTED

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("'FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which expands the disclosures required in an entity's income tax rate reconciliation table and requires disclosure of income taxes paid in both U.S. and foreign jurisdictions. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted, to be applied on a prospective basis, with retrospective application permitted. These requirements will impact our income tax disclosures and we are currently evaluating the impact of adoption.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement (Topic 220): Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures, which requires an entity to disclose on an annual and interim basis, disaggregated information about specific income statement expense categories. The guidance should be applied prospectively with the option to apply the standard retrospectively. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this new guidance on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

4. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Inventories, net: Our consolidated inventories were stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value, generally using a weighted-average cost method. Our net inventories include approximately $88.6 million of finished goods, $11.8 million of raw materials and $4.2 million of work-in-progress as of August 30, 2025, as compared to approximately $86.4 million of finished goods, $11.5 million of raw materials and $4.9 million of work-in-progress as of May 31, 2025.

Provisions for obsolete or slow-moving inventories are recorded based upon regular analysis of stock rotation privileges, obsolescence, the exiting of certain markets and assumptions about future demand and market conditions. If future demand changes in the industry or market conditions differ from management’s estimates, additional provisions may be necessary. Inventory reserves were approximately $7.7 million as of August 30, 2025 and $7.6 million as of May 31, 2025.

Intangible Assets: Our intangible assets represent the fair value for customer relationships and technology acquired in connection with prior acquisitions. Intangible assets subject to amortization were as follows (in thousands):


	August 30, 2025		May 31, 2025
Gross Amounts:
Customer Relationships (1)	$	912	$	911
Technology		150		150
Total Gross Amounts	$	1,062	$	1,061

Accumulated Amortization:
Customer Relationships	$	662	$	652
Technology		70		64
Total Accumulated Amortization	$	732	$	716

Intangible Assets, Net	$	330	$	345

(1) Change from prior per period reflects the impact of foreign currency translation.

The amortization expense associated with intangible assets subject to amortization for the next five years is presented in the following table (in thousands):


Fiscal Year	Amortization Expense
Remaining 2026	$	45
2027		60
2028		59
2029		59
2030		37
Thereafter		70
Total amortization expense	$	330

The weighted average number of years of amortization expense remaining is 6.6 years.

Accrued Liabilities: Accrued liabilities consisted of the following (in thousands):


	August 30, 2025		May 31, 2025
Compensation and payroll taxes	$	4,182	$	4,303
Accrued severance		556		593
Professional fees		689		522
Contract liabilities		4,722		4,545
Other accrued expenses		4,211		4,313
Accrued Liabilities	$	14,360	$	14,276

Warranties: We offer assurance-type warranties for specific products we manufacture. We estimate the cost to perform under the warranty obligation and recognize this estimated cost at the time of the related product sale. We record expenses related to our warranty obligations as cost of sales in our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Each quarter, we assess the actual warranty costs incurred on a product-by-product basis and compare the warranty costs to our estimated warranty obligation. With respect to new products, estimates are based generally on knowledge of the products and warranty experience.

Warranty reserves are established for costs that are expected to be incurred after the sale and delivery of products under warranty. Warranty reserves are included in accrued liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. The warranty reserves are determined based on known product failures, historical experience and other available evidence. Warranty reserves were approximately $0.9 million as of August 30, 2025 and approximately $0.8 million as of May 31, 2025.

Common and Class B Common Stock: We have authorized 17,000,000 shares of common stock and 3,000,000 shares of Class B common stock. The Class B common stock has 10 votes per share and has transferability restrictions; however, Class B common stock may be converted into common stock on a share-for-share basis at any time. With respect to dividends and distributions, shares of common stock and Class B common stock rank equally and have the same rights, except that Class B common stock cash dividends are limited to 90% of the amount of Class A common stock cash dividends.

Revenue Recognition: We sell our products to customers in diversified industries and perform periodic credit evaluations of our customers’ financial condition. Terms are generally open account, payable net 30 days in North America, and vary throughout Asia/Pacific, Europe and Latin America. Estimates of credit losses are recorded in the financial statements based on monthly reviews of outstanding accounts.

Our customers are generally not resellers, but rather businesses that incorporate our products into their processes from which they generate an economic benefit. The goods are also distinct in that each item sold to the customer is clearly identified on both the purchase order and resulting invoice. Each product we sell benefits the customer independently of the other products. Each item on each purchase order from the customer can be used by the customer unrelated to any other products we provide to the customer. We derive revenue from the sale of products. Generally, the performance obligation under contracts are satisfied when there is a transfer of control of the products to our customer, which is primarily upon shipment or, in certain instances, upon the delivery of the products to the named customer location.

We also generate revenue from repair, installation or training activities. The services we provide are relatively short in duration and are typically completed in one or two weeks. Therefore, at each reporting date, the amount of unbilled work is insignificant. The services revenue has consistently accounted for less than 5% of the Company’s total revenues and is expected to continue at that level.

We record discounts taken based on historical experience. The policy varies by business unit. The Company allows returns with prior written authorization. We estimate returns based on historical experience. The Company maintains a reserve for returns based on historical trends that cover all contracts and revenue streams using the expected value method because we have a large number of contracts with similar characteristics, which is considered variable consideration. The reserve for returns creates a refund liability on our balance sheet as a contra trade accounts receivable as well as an asset in inventory. We value the inventory at cost due to there being minimal or no costs to the Company as we generally require the customer to pay freight and we typically do not have costs associated with activities such as relabeling or repackaging. The reserve is considered immaterial at each balance sheet date. Returns for defective product are typically covered by our suppliers’ warranty, thus, returns for defective product are not factored into our reserve.

Principal versus agent guidance was considered for products that are provided by our suppliers versus manufactured by the Company. The Company acts as the principal as we are responsible for satisfying the performance obligation. We have primary responsibility for fulfilling the contract, we have inventory risk prior to delivery to our customer, we establish prices, our consideration is not in the form of a commission and we bear the credit risk. The Company recognizes revenue in the gross amount of consideration.

Contracts with customers: A revenue contract exists once a customer purchase order is received, reviewed and accepted. Each accepted purchase order identifies a distinct good or service as a performance obligation. The goods include standard products purchased from a supplier and stocked on our shelves, customized products purchased from a supplier, products that are customized or have value added to them in house prior to shipping to the customer and manufactured products. Prior to accepting a customer purchase order, we review the credit worthiness of the customer. Purchase orders are deemed to meet the collectability criterion once the customer’s credit is approved. The Company receives advance payments or deposits from our customers before revenue is recognized resulting in contract liabilities. Contract liabilities are included in accrued liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

On occasion, the Company enters bill-and-hold arrangements. Each bill-and-hold arrangement is reviewed and revenue is recognized only when the control has transferred to our customer and certain criteria have been met: (i) the reason for the bill-and-hold arrangement is substantive; (ii) the product is segregated from the Company’s other inventory items held for sale; (iii) the product is ready for shipment to the customer; and (iv) the Company does not have the ability to use the product or direct it to another customer. The bill and hold revenue recognized was $1.1 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2026 and $3.1 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2025.

Contract Balances: Contract balances were as follows (in thousands):


	August 30, 2025		May 31, 2025		June 1, 2024

Accounts receivable	$	27,039	$	24,117	$	24,845

Contract liabilities		4,722		4,545		4,520

During the three months ended August 30, 2025, the Company recognized $1.6 million of revenue upon satisfaction of the performance obligations related to the amounts included in the contract liabilities balance as of May 31, 2025. During the three months ended August 31, 2024, the Company recognized $0.9 million of revenue upon satisfaction of the performance obligations related to the amounts included in the contract liabilities balance as of June 1, 2024.

Refer to Note 9, Segment Information for a disaggregation of revenue by reportable segment which represents how our CODM reviews information internally to evaluate our financial performance and to make resource allocation and other decisions for the Company.

Loss Contingencies: We accrue a liability for loss contingencies when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. When only a range of possible loss can be established, the most probable amount in the range is accrued. If no amount within this range is a better estimate than any other amount within the range, the minimum amount in the range is accrued. If we determine that there is at least a reasonable possibility that a loss may have been incurred, we will include a disclosure describing the contingency.

5. REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY

The Company entered into a Credit Agreement (as amended by the First Amendment to the Credit Agreement dated April 9, 2025, the "Credit Agreement") for a three-year Revolving Credit Facility with PNC Bank N.A. on March 20, 2023 (the "Revolving Credit Facility"). The Revolving Credit Facility will mature on March 20, 2026.

The combined maximum borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility are $30 million. Proceeds of borrowings may be used for working capital and general corporate purposes. There were no drawings or repayments under the Revolving Credit Facility during fiscal 2026. There was no amount outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility as of August 30, 2025.

On October 7, 2025, the Company executed a three-year extension to the Credit Agreement through the Second Amendment to the Credit Agreement with a maximum borrowing limit of $20 million. The terms of the new agreement are similar to the previous Credit Agreement.

The Credit Agreement provides that the Company must maintain compliance with a maximum consolidated leverage ratio covenant and a minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio, each as determined in accordance with the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement also contains affirmative, negative and financial covenants customary for financings of this type, including, among other things, limitations on certain other indebtedness, loans and investments, liens, mergers, asset sales, and transactions with affiliates, as well as customary events of default for financings of this type. The Company was in compliance with financial covenants under the Credit Agreement as of August 30, 2025.

Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility will bear interest at a rate per annum selected by the Company from the following options: (a) Term secured overnight financing rate ("SOFR") for the applicable Interest Period, plus the SOFR Adjustment for the applicable Interest Period, plus 1.25%; (b) Base Rate plus 0.25% or (c) Daily Simple risk free rate ("RFR") for Euros, plus the RFR Adjustment, plus 1.25%. Letters of credit issued under the letter of credit sub-facility will have a letter of credit fee equal to 1.25% per annum. The fee for the unused portion of the credit line is 0.10%. There were no letters of credit outstanding as of August 30, 2025.

6. LEASE OBLIGATIONS

The Company leases real and personal property in the normal course of business under various operating leases. The Company uses operating leases for facility space and automobiles. Most of the leased facility space is for sales and general office use. Automobile leases are used throughout the Company. Several leases include renewal clauses which vary in length and may not include specific rent renewal amounts. The Company will revise the value of the right of use assets and associated lease liabilities upon a remeasurement event.

7. INCOME TAXES

We recorded an income tax provision of $0.4 million and $0.1 million for the first three months of fiscal 2026 and the first three months of fiscal 2025, respectively. The effective income tax rate during the first three months of fiscal 2026 was a tax provision of 18.1% as compared to a tax provision of 9.0% during the first three months of fiscal 2025. The difference in rate during the first three months of fiscal 2026 as compared to the first three months of fiscal 2025 reflects changes in our geographical distribution of income (loss). The 18.1% effective income tax rate differs from the federal statutory rate of 21% as a result of our geographical distribution of income (loss) and the utilization of the U.S. research and development credit.

In the normal course of business, we are subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world. Years prior to fiscal 2015 are closed for examination under the statute of limitation for U.S. federal, and U.S. state. In Netherlands, years prior to fiscal 2020 are closed for examination. We are under examination in Germany for fiscal years 2019 to 2022. During the third quarter of fiscal 2025, we received a notice from the State of Illinois for an income tax audit covering the period from June 2021 to May 2023. The Company has provided all the documentation requested and is waiting to hear from the State of Illinois office for further action. We have no other current open audits in the U.S.

We have historically determined that undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries, to the extent of cash available, will be repatriated to the U.S. The deferred tax liability on the outside basis difference is now primarily withholding tax on future dividend distributions. There was no deferred tax liability related to undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries as of August 30, 2025 and May 31, 2025.

The Company recorded a $0.3 million uncertain tax position as of August 30, 2025 as compared to $0.3 million as of May 31, 2025. We record interest related to uncertain tax positions in the income tax expense line item within the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Accrued interest was included within the related tax liability line in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. We have recorded a liability of less than $0.1 million for interest as of August 30, 2025 and May 31, 2025.

The Company maintains a valuation allowance representing the portion of the deferred tax asset that management does not believe is more likely than not to be realized. The valuation allowance was $2.9 million as of August 30, 2025 and $2.8 million as of May 31, 2025. The valuation allowance relates to state NOLs ($1.7 million) and deferred tax assets in foreign jurisdictions where historical taxable losses have been incurred ($1.2 million). The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable, however, could be adjusted if estimates of future taxable income during the carryforward period are increased, or if objective negative evidence in the form of cumulative losses is no longer present and additional weight may be given to subjective evidence such as our projections for growth.

We have considered the impact of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act ("OBBBA") on the Company’s annual effective tax rate. The impact of OBBBA on the annual effective tax rate includes the reduction in the research and development credit from the Section 280c election. These changes did not have a significant impact to the annual effective tax rate. However, the enactment of the OBBBA introduced several significant tax law modifications that, while not affecting the annual effective tax rate, do have other implications for the Company. The OBBBA makes permanent key elements of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, including 100% bonus depreciation and domestic research cost expensing pursuant to IRC §174 for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2024. The Company is currently evaluating the future impact of OBBA on its financial position and these changes are anticipated to have an impact on the results of operations and cash flows.

8. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Our Class B common stock is considered a participating security requiring the use of the two-class method for the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share. The two-class computation method for each period reflects the cash dividends paid per share for each class of stock, plus the amount of allocated undistributed earnings per share computed using the participation percentage which reflects the dividend rights of each class of stock. Basic and diluted earnings per share were computed using the two-class method. The shares of Class B common stock are considered to be participating convertible securities since the shares of Class B common stock are convertible on a share-for-share basis into shares of common stock and may participate in dividends with common stock according to a predetermined formula which is 90% of the amount of Class A common stock cash dividends.

The allocation of undistributed earnings (loss) between common stock and Class B common stock is based on the relationship of the weighted shares outstanding for the respective stock class (common or Class B) to the total of the weighted shares outstanding for common stock and 90% of the weighted shares outstanding for Class B common stock. The adjustment to the number of outstanding Class B common stock shares reflects the limitation of Class B common stock dividends to 90% of common stock dividends.

The earnings per share (“EPS”) presented in our Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income for the first quarter of fiscal 2026 and 2025 was based on the following amounts (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Note: There were no common stock options that were antidilutive and not included in the diluted earnings per share for the first quarter of fiscal 2026 and fiscal 2025.

9. SEGMENT INFORMATION

In June 2025, the Company reevaluated its operating segments to better align with how the CODM allocates resources and evaluates performance. The key factor in this evaluation was the sale of the majority of assets in the Healthcare segment to DirectMed and continued sale of CT tubes pursuant to an exclusive supply agreement. Accordingly, the Company decided to integrate PMT and Healthcare into one segment, thereby resulting in three reporting segments. The segment results for prior periods were retrospectively recast to reflect the new segment reporting structure.

The Company reports its financial performance to its CODM based on the three operating and reportable segments defined as follows:

Power and Microwave Technologies ("PMT") includes the power grid and microwave tube business and RF, Wireless and Power technologies. PMT provides design-in support, systems integration, prototype design and manufacturing, testing, logistics and aftermarket technical service and repair. PMT also offers its customers technical services for both microwave and industrial equipment and includes CT tubes sold to DirectMed pursuant to a supply agreement.

Green Energy Solutions ("GES") designs and manufactures products for the energy storage market and power management applications. We provide design-in support, systems integration, prototype design and manufacturing, testing, logistics and aftermarket technical service and repair.

Canvys provides customized display solutions serving the corporate enterprise, financial, healthcare, industrial and medical original equipment manufacturers markets. Display solutions include touch screens, protective panels, custom enclosures, All-In-One computers, specialized cabinet finishes and application specific software packages and certification services.

The CODM for Richardson Electronics, Ltd. is Edward J. Richardson (Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President). The CODM utilizes segment gross profit compared to both the current forecast and the prior year to analyze and assess financial performance by segment. The CODM’s assessment of each segment’s financial performance is utilized to deliberate and execute decisions to allocate resources to manage the growth and profitability of the individual segments and the entire Company. Inventories, net is the only segment asset metric analyzed and reviewed by the CODM.

Operating results by segment are summarized in the following table (in thousands):

INTRODUCTION

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) is intended to assist the reader in better understanding our business, results of operations, financial condition, changes in financial condition and significant developments. MD&A is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes appearing elsewhere in this filing. This section is organized as follows:

•

Business Overview

•

Results of Operations – an analysis and comparison of our consolidated results of operations for the three month periods ended August 30, 2025 and August 31, 2024, as reflected in our Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.

•

Liquidity, Financial Position and Capital Resources – a discussion of our primary sources and uses of cash for three month periods ended August 30, 2025 and August 31, 2024, and a discussion of changes in our financial position.

Business Overview

Richardson Electronics, Ltd. (the "Company," "we," "our") is a leading global manufacturer of engineered solutions, green energy products, power grid and microwave tubes, and related consumables; power conversion and RF and microwave components including green energy solutions; tubes for diagnostic imaging equipment; and customized display solutions. More than 55% of our products are manufactured in LaFox, Illinois, Marlborough, Massachusetts, or Donaueschingen, Germany, or by one of our manufacturing partners throughout the world. All our partners manufacture to our strict specifications and per our supplier code of conduct. We serve customers in the alternative energy, healthcare, aviation, broadcast, communications, industrial, marine, medical, military, scientific, and semiconductor markets. The Company’s strategy is to provide specialized technical expertise and “engineered solutions” based on our core engineering and manufacturing capabilities. The Company provides solutions and adds value through design-in support, systems integration, prototype design and manufacturing, testing, logistics, and aftermarket technical service and repair through its global infrastructure.

Some of the Company's products are manufactured in foreign countries and imported into the United States. Accordingly, the Company’s operations are subject to tariffs and other trade protection measures. The U.S. administration has instituted certain changes, and may make additional changes, in trade policies that include the negotiation or termination of trade agreements, higher tariffs on imports into the U.S., and other measures affecting trade between the U.S. and other countries from which the Company imports. Due in part to these measures, some countries are changing their trade policies relating to goods imported from the U.S. These global trade disruptions and geopolitical tensions, together with any related downturns in the global economy, could dampen customer demand, increase market volatility, and impact currency exchange rates, all which could materially and adversely affect the Company’s financial performance.

The impact of these changes in trade policies will depend on various factors, including (i) when trade measures are implemented, (ii) the ultimate amount, scope, nature, and duration of tariffs and other trade measures, and (iii) the extent to which the Company can mitigate impacts and pass on any increased costs associated with these changes. In addition, the impact of trade disruptions on general economic conditions and demand for electronic components is difficult to predict.

The recent tariff modifications did not materially impact our results for the first quarter of fiscal 2026. However, it is possible that further tariffs may be imposed on imports of our products, including by other countries, or that our business will be impacted by changing trade relations among countries. Management continues to work with its suppliers as well as its customers to mitigate the impact of the tariffs on our customers’ markets. However, if the Company is unable to successfully pass through the additional cost of these tariffs, or if the higher prices reduce demand for the Company's products, it will have a negative effect on the Company's sales and gross margins.

The Company reports its financial performance based on the operating and reportable segments defined as follows:

Power and Microwave Technologies ("PMT") combines our core engineered solutions capabilities, power grid and microwave tube business with new disruptive RF, Wireless and Power technologies. As a designer, manufacturer, technology partner and authorized distributor, PMT’s strategy is to provide specialized technical expertise and engineered solutions based on our core engineering and manufacturing capabilities on a global basis. We provide solutions and add value through design-in support, systems integration, prototype design and manufacturing, testing, logistics and aftermarket technical service and repair - all through our existing global infrastructure. PMT’s focus is on products for power, RF and microwave applications for customers in 5G, aviation, broadcast, communications, industrial, marine, medical, military, scientific and semiconductor markets. PMT focuses on various applications including broadcast transmission, CO2 laser cutting, diagnostic imaging, dielectric and induction heating, high energy transfer, high voltage switching, plasma, power conversion, radar and radiation oncology. PMT also offers its customers technical services for both microwave and industrial equipment. After the sale of certain assets to DirectMed, the Company continues to manufacture and repair certain CT tubes and sells them exclusively to DirectMed pursuant to a supply agreement.

Green Energy Solutions ("GES") combines our key technology partners and engineered solutions capabilities to design and manufacture innovative products for the fast-growing energy storage market and power management applications. As a designer, manufacturer, technology partner and authorized distributor, GES’s strategy is to provide specialized technical expertise and engineered solutions using our core design engineering and manufacturing capabilities on a global basis.

Net Sales and Gross Profit Analysis

Net sales by segment and percentage change during the first quarter of fiscal 2026 and fiscal 2025 were as follows (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended				FY26 vs. FY25
	August 30, 2025		August 31, 2024		% Change
PMT	$	39,069	$	38,001		2.8	%
GES		7,263		8,086		-10.2	%
Canvys		8,275		7,638		8.3	%
Total	$	54,607	$	53,725		1.6	%

During the first quarter of fiscal 2026, consolidated net sales increased 1.6% compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2025. Sales for PMT increased 2.8%, sales for GES decreased 10.2% and sales for Canvys increased 8.3%. The increase in PMT was mainly due to increased semiconductor and electron tube products. The decrease in GES reflected the project-based nature of this segment and was mainly due to the non-recurrence of a large EV Locomotive order from the year ago quarter. The increase in Canvys was attributable to sales in the European markets.

Gross profit by segment and percentage of net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2026 and fiscal 2025 were as follows (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended
	August 30, 2025		% of Net Sales			August 31, 2024		% of Net Sales
PMT	$	12,226		31.3	%	$	11,431		30.1	%
GES		2,150		29.6	%		2,374		29.4	%
Canvys		2,553		30.9	%		2,621		34.3	%
Total	$	16,929		31.0	%	$	16,426		30.6	%

Gross profit reflects the distribution and manufacturing product margin less manufacturing variances, inventory obsolescence charges, customer returns, scrap and cycle count adjustments, engineering costs and other provisions.

Consolidated gross profit increased to $16.9 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to $16.4 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2025. Consolidated gross margin as a percentage of net sales during the first quarter of fiscal 2026 increased to 31.0% when compared to 30.6% during the first quarter of fiscal 2025. This margin increase was mainly due to favorable product mix and improved manufacturing absorption in PMT and favorable product mix in GES with a partial offset from unfavorable product mix and higher freight costs in Canvys.

Power and Microwave Technologies

PMT net sales increased 2.8% to $39.1 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2026 from $38.0 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2025. The increase was due primarily to increased sales of engineered solutions for the semiconductor wafer fabrication market and higher sales of electron tubes. The decline in healthcare sales, which only include CT tubes, was due to the sale of assets to DirectMed in the third quarter of fiscal 2025, partially offset the sales growth for semiconductor and electron tube products. Gross margin as a percentage of net sales increased to 31.3% during the first quarter of fiscal 2026 as compared to 30.1% during the first quarter of fiscal 2025 due to product mix and improved manufacturing absorption.

Green Energy Solutions

GES net sales decreased 10.2% to $7.2 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2026 from $8.1 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2025. The decrease reflected the project-based nature of this segment and was mainly due to a large EV Locomotive order in the first quarter of 2025 that did not repeat in the first quarter of 2026. Gross margin as a percentage of net sales increased to 29.6% during the first quarter of fiscal 2026 as compared to 29.4% during the first quarter of fiscal 2025 due to product mix.

Canvys

Canvys net sales increased 8.3% to $8.3 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2026 from $7.6 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2025, due to higher sales in the European markets. Gross margin as a percentage of net sales decreased to 30.9% during the first quarter of fiscal 2026 from 34.3% during the first quarter of fiscal 2025 primarily due to product mix and higher freight costs.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) decreased to $16.0 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2026 when compared to $16.1 million for the year ago quarter. This decrease of $0.1 million or less than 1% from the first quarter of fiscal 2025 mainly reflected lower travel costs. Expressed as a percentage of net sales, SG&A was 29.2% for the first quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to 30.0% in the first quarter of fiscal 2025.

Other Income/Expense

Other income and expense includes interest income, foreign exchange gains and foreign exchange losses. Our foreign exchange gains and losses are primarily due to the translation of U.S. dollars held in non-U.S. entities. We currently do not utilize derivative instruments to manage our exposure to foreign currency.

Other income during the first quarter of fiscal 2026 totaled $1.4 million compared to $0.3 million for first quarter of fiscal 2025. The increase from the year ago quarter was mainly due to a non-recurring gain of $0.9 million.

Income Tax Provision

Net Income and Per Share Data

Net income during the first quarter of fiscal 2026 was $1.9 million, or $0.13 per diluted common share and $0.12 per Class B diluted common share as compared to a net income of $0.6 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2025 or $0.04 per diluted common share and $0.04 per Class B diluted common share.

LIQUIDITY, FINANCIAL POSITION AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our operations and cash needs have been primarily financed through operations and cash on hand.

Cash and cash equivalents were $35.7 million at August 30, 2025. Cash and cash equivalents by geographic area on August 30, 2025 consisted of $16.5 million in North America, $10.1 million in Europe, $1.0 million in Latin America and $8.1 million in Asia/Pacific. No cash was repatriated to the United States in the first three months of fiscal 2026. Although the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act generally eliminated federal income tax on future cash repatriation to the United States, cash repatriation may be subject to state and local taxes, withholding or similar taxes. See Note 9, Income Taxes, of the notes to our consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2025, filed with the SEC on August 4, 2025, for further information.

Cash and cash equivalents were $35.9 million at May 31, 2025. Cash and cash equivalents by geographic area at May 31, 2025 consisted of $19.5 million in North America, $7.7 million in Europe, $0.9 million in Latin America and $7.8 million in Asia/Pacific. No cash was repatriated to the United States in fiscal 2025.

Our short-term and long-term liquidity requirements primarily arise from: (i) working capital requirements, (ii) capital expenditure needs and (iii) cash dividend payments (if and when declared by our Board of Directors). Our ability to fund these requirements will depend, in part, on our future cash flows, which are determined by our future operating performance and, therefore, subject to prevailing global macroeconomic conditions and financial, business and other factors, some of which are beyond our control.

Based on past performance and current expectations, we believe that the existing sources of liquidity, including current cash, will provide sufficient resources to meet known capital requirements and working capital needs through the next twelve months. Additionally, while our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including, but not limited to, the economy and the outlook for growth in our markets, we believe our existing sources of liquidity as well as our ability to generate operating cash flows will satisfy our future obligations and cash requirements.

On March 20, 2023, the Company established a senior, secured revolving credit facility agreement with a three-year term in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $30 million, including a swingline loan and a letter of credit sub-facility (collectively, the "Revolving Credit Facility") with PNC Bank N. A. This Credit Agreement was amended by the First Amendment to the Credit Agreement dated April 9, 2025. The Revolving Credit Facility is guaranteed by the Company's domestic subsidiaries. Proceeds of the borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility, if any, are expected to be used for working capital and general corporate purposes of the Company and its subsidiaries. There were no drawings or repayments under the Revolving Credit Facility as of August 30, 2025 and through the report release date. As of August 30, 2025 and through the report release date, no amounts were outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Cash flows from operating activities are primarily a result of our net income adjusted for non-cash items and changes in our operating assets and liabilities.

Operating activities generated $1.4 million of cash during the first three months of fiscal 2026. We had a net income of $1.9 million during the first three months of fiscal 2026, which included non-cash share-based compensation expense of $0.6 million associated with the issuance of stock option and restricted stock awards, inventory reserve provisions of $0.1 million, unrealized foreign exchange gain of $0.5 million, depreciation and amortization expense of $1.0 million associated with our property, plant and equipment and intangible assets. Changes in our operating assets and liabilities utilized $1.8 million in cash during the first three months of fiscal 2026, net of foreign currency exchange gains and losses, included an increase in accounts receivable of $2.7 million, an increase in inventories of $0.6 million and an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $1.5 million. The increase in accounts receivable was primarily due to the higher level of sales compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025. The change in accounts payable and accrued liabilities was timing related.

Operating activities generated $0.4 million of cash during the first three months of fiscal 2025. We had a net income of $0.6 million during the first three months of fiscal 2025, which included non-cash share-based compensation expense of $0.6 million associated with the issuance of stock option and restricted stock awards, inventory reserve provisions of $0.1 million, unrealized foreign exchange gain of $0.4 million and depreciation and amortization expense of $1.0 million associated with our property, plant and equipment and intangible assets. Changes in our operating assets and liabilities used $1.9 million in cash during the first three months of fiscal 2025, net of foreign currency exchange gains and losses included an increase in inventory of $0.1 million and an increase in accounts receivable of $5.9 million. Partially offsetting the cash utilization was an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $4.1 million. The increase in accounts receivable was primarily due to the higher level of sales for the current quarter compared to the prior quarter. The changes in accounts payable and accrued liabilities were timing related.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities of $1.0 million during the first three months of fiscal 2026 was due to capital expenditures. Capital expenditures were primarily related to our IT system and LaFox manufacturing and facilities. LaFox manufacturing primarily supports the PMT and GES segments.

Cash used in investing activities of $0.9 million during the first three months of fiscal 2025 was due to capital expenditures. Capital expenditures were primarily related to our IT system and LaFox manufacturing and facilities. LaFox manufacturing primarily supports the PMT and GES segments.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Cash flows used in financing activities consist primarily of cash dividends and cash flows provided by financing activities consist primarily of the proceeds from the issuance of stock. All future dividend payments are at the discretion of the Board of Directors. Dividend payments depend on earnings, capital requirements, operating conditions and such other factors that the Board may deem relevant.

Cash used in financing activities of $0.9 million during the first three months of fiscal 2026 primarily resulted from $0.9 million of dividend payments to stockholders partially offset by $0.1 million of proceeds from the issuance of stock.

Cash used in financing activities of $0.9 million during the first three months of fiscal 2025 primarily resulted from $0.9 million of dividend payments to stockholders partially offset by $0.1 million of proceeds from the issuance of stock.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC, we make assumptions, judgments and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and the related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. Our assumptions, judgments and estimates are based on historical experience and various other factors deemed relevant. Actual results could be materially different from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We evaluate our assumptions, judgments and estimates on a regular basis. We also discuss our critical accounting estimates with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.

There have been no material changes in our critical accounting estimates from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 2025, filed with the SEC on August 4, 2025. We are not aware of any specific events or circumstances that would require us to update our estimates, assumptions and judgments.

Impact of New Accounting Standards

For information about recently issued accounting pronouncements, see Note 3, New Accounting Pronouncements - Not Yet Adopted, included in Part I, Item 1.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Risk Management and Market Sensitive Financial Instruments

We are exposed to many different market risks with the various industries we serve. The primary financial risk we are exposed to is foreign currency exchange, as certain of our operations, assets and liabilities are denominated in foreign currencies. We manage these risks through normal operating and financing activities.

The interpretation and analysis of these disclosures should not be considered in isolation since such variances in exchange rates would likely influence other economic factors. Such factors, which are not readily quantifiable, would likely also affect our operations. Additional disclosure regarding various market risks is set forth in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2025 filed with the SEC on August 4, 2025.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure controls and procedures are intended to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 that occurred during the first quarter of fiscal 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
