Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
The reconciliation schedule prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), which reconciles the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures and is included in Exhibit 99 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, is incorporated herein by reference into this Item 2.02.
Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
On February 19, 2026, Kadant Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” or “our”) announced during its fourth quarter and full-year fiscal 2025 earnings webcast that it will prospectively use a new methodology for calculating adjusted operating income, adjusted net income, and adjusted earnings per share (“adjusted EPS”) (collectively, the “non-GAAP financial measures”) to exclude the full impact of amortization expense related to acquired intangible assets. Previously, the Company excluded only amortization expense related to acquired backlog, which is amortized relatively quickly in the post-acquisition period.
The Company has elected to exclude amortization expense related to acquired intangible assets from these non-GAAP financial measures to provide a more meaningful and consistent comparison of its operating results over time and with peer companies. While the Company has a history of acquisition activity, such transactions do not occur on a predictable cycle, and the size and nature of these transactions will vary. A full description of the Company's non-GAAP financial measures is detailed under the heading “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” in Exhibit 99 in this Current Report on Form 8-K.
The Company's guidance for its fiscal year and first quarter 2026 for adjusted net income and adjusted EPS, calculated in accordance with the new methodology, is set forth below. This guidance reflects only the guidance issued on February 19, 2026, which is subject to change.
Twelve Months Ended January 2, 2027 Three Months Ended March 28, 2026

Notes: * Represents a non-GAAP financial measure. All references to EPS are to EPS as calculated on a diluted basis.
In addition, the Company has prepared a financial schedule of adjusted operating income, adjusted net income, and adjusted EPS reconciled to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, for fiscal years 2025 and 2024 and each of the four quarters therein, and for fiscal years 2023, 2022, and 2021, as furnished in this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.
