George Wilson, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “Volumes continued to track normal seasonality patterns during the third quarter of 2026, and we made meaningful progress addressing the price versus cost imbalance that impacted our margins in the second quarter of 2026. Inflationary pressures related to macroeconomic concerns and the ongoing conflict in the Middle East are still having an impact, but the initial rate and magnitude of these pressures have somewhat subsided.

“We stayed focused on managing our working capital during the third quarter of 2026, which when coupled with the seasonal uptick in volumes, enabled us to repay $42.25 million of debt and buy back some of our shares. We will continue to prioritize repaying debt and opportunistically repurchasing our shares as we generate cash in the fourth quarter of 2026. In addition, we will continue to identify operational efficiencies and commercial synergies that we believe will benefit us when consumer confidence and demand improve.”

Third Quarter 2026 Results Summary

Quanex reported net sales of $501.8 million during the three months ended July 31, 2026, which represents an increase of 1.3% compared to $495.3 million for the same period in 2025, mainly due to favorable impacts from pricing, partially offset by the impact of IEEPA tariff reimbursements to customers. The Hardware Solutions segments reported a 2.7% decline in net sales for the third quarter of 2026, driven by lower volumes and the impact of IEEPA tariff reimbursements to customers, which were somewhat offset by favorable impacts from pricing. The Extruded Solutions segments reported net sales growth of 2.8% for the third quarter of 2026, as lower volumes were more than offset by favorable impacts from pricing. Quanex reported an increase of 8.5% in net sales for the third quarter of 2026 in its Custom Solutions segment, largely due to increased volume and improved pricing. (See Sales Analysis table for additional information)

On a consolidated basis, the increase in reported earnings for the third quarter of 2026 compared to the third quarter of 2025 was mainly due to improved pricing, lower depreciation and amortization expense and lower interest expense. Results for the third quarter of 2025 were also impacted by a $302.3 million non-cash goodwill impairment.

Balance Sheet & Liquidity Update

As of July 31, 2026, the Company had total debt of $672.2 million and Quanex’s leverage ratio of Net Debt to LTM Adjusted EBITDA was 2.8x. As of July 31, 2026, Quanex reported LTM Net Income of $45.4 million and LTM Adjusted EBITDA of $215.2 million (See Non-GAAP Terminology Definitions and Disclaimers section, Net Debt Reconciliation table and Last Twelve Months Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation table for additional information)
