quarter. The flat-roll segment had sales volume of approximately 132,500 tons from inventory and another 19,000 tons of toll processing for the 2025 quarter compared to approximately 109,000 tons from inventory and 24,000 tons of toll processing for the 2024 quarter. The average per ton selling price of flat-roll segment inventory decreased from approximately $932\u00a0per ton in the 2024 quarter to approximately $926 per ton in the 2025 quarter. The flat-roll segment recorded earnings from operations\u00a0of approximately $8.8 million and $2.7 million\u00a0for the 2025 quarter and 2024\u00a0quarter, respectively.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\n        <strong>TUBULAR SEGMENT OPERATIONS<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Tubular product segment sales for the 2025 quarter totaled approximately $10.7 million compared to approximately $11.2 million for the 2024 quarter. Sales volume declined from approximately 10,000 tons\u00a0for the\u00a02024 quarter to approximately 9,000 tons for the 2025 quarter.

We typically account for our hedging activities under mark-to-market (\u201cMTM\u201d) accounting treatment and all hedging decisions are intended to protect the value of our inventory and produce more consistent financial results over price cycles. With MTM accounting treatment it is possible that hedging related gains or losses might be recognized in a different fiscal year or fiscal quarter than the corresponding improvement or contraction in our physical margins. For the 2025 quarter, we recognized a gain on hedging activities of approximately $0.3 million.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\n        <strong>OUTLOOK<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">For the second quarter of fiscal 2026, the Company expects sales volume to be slightly higher than the sales volume for the first fiscal quarter as the Company progresses on its efforts to increase the capacity utilization of its facilities. HRC prices softened at the end of the first quarter and the start of the second quarter. As a result, the Company expects lower margins for the second quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to the first quarter.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\u201cFriedman remains in a strong financial position and ready to capitalize on both short-term and long-term opportunities\u201d Taylor said. \u201cI see favorable long-term demand for the industry and believe we have a team uniquely qualified to recognize Friedman\u2019s full growth potential.\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\n        <strong>ABOUT FRIEDMAN INDUSTRIES<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Friedman Industries, Incorporated (\u201cCompany\u201d), headquartered in Longview, Texas, is a manufacturer and processor of steel products with operating plants in Hickman, Arkansas; Decatur, Alabama; East Chicago, Indiana; Granite City, Illinois; Sinton, Texas and Lone Star, Texas.
