1<\/sup>On June 30, 2025, the Company closed on a transaction to sell substantially all of the assets of American Stainless Tubing, Inc (“ASTI”). As a result, financial results from ASTI for the first quarter of 2025 have been categorized into discontinued operations.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

Management Commentary<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\n\u201cDespite ongoing market headwinds, we delivered nearly double-digit growth versus the prior year and sequential improvement quarter over quarter, reflecting strong execution and continued momentum across the business,\u201d said J. Bryan Kitchen, President and Chief Executive Officer of Ascent Industries Co. \u201cDuring the quarter, we moved with speed to win and onboard a range of high-quality, long-term customer programs. This reflects the flexibility of our platform, allowing us to secure the right work quickly and then optimize how it is sourced, routed, and produced.”<\/p>\n

\n\u201cAs expected, onboarding these programs created near-term inefficiencies; however, these impacts are temporary and reflect sequencing, not structure,\u201d Kitchen continued. \u201cThis same sequencing is reflected in our gross margin performance for the quarter, where timing and cost absorption related to onboarding and scaling new programs pressured reported results. Importantly, the underlying indicators remain constructive: material margins are improving, we have not seen a structural change in our labor or overhead cost base, and as we optimize sourcing, align production across our asset base, and scale volumes, we expect these programs to meet our long-term margin thresholds. Based on actions already underway, we see a clear path to more than $3 to $5 million of incremental run-rate gross profit improvement, with the majority expected to be realized by the fourth quarter of 2026.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\u201cWe were also active in deploying capital during the quarter, repurchasing approximately 3.2% of our outstanding shares,\u201d Kitchen added. \u201cWe remain disciplined in how we allocate capital, investing in the platform, executing on targeted acquisitions, and returning capital to shareholders where we see compelling value.\u201d<\/p>\n

First Quarter 2026 Financial Results<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\nNet sales from continuing operations were $19.4 million compared to $17.8 million in the first quarter of 2025. The increase was a result of increases in volume and average selling prices.<\/p>\n

\nGross profit from continuing operations decreased 8.3% to $2.8 million, or 14.5% of net sales, compared to $3.1 million, or 17.2% of net sales, in the first quarter of 2025. The decrease was primarily driven by the timing of manufacturing variances and cost recovery in relation to sales.<\/p>\n

\nNet loss from continuing operations decreased to ($2.0) million compared to ($2.2) million in the first quarter of 2025. Diluted loss per share decreased to ($0.21) in the first quarter of 2026 compared to a diluted loss per share of ($0.22) in the first quarter of 2025.<\/p>\n

\nAdjusted EBITDA from continuing operations decreased to a loss of ($1.0) million in the first quarter of 2026, with adjusted EBITDA margin decreasing to (5.0)% compared to (2.6)% in the prior year period. The decrease was primarily driven by the aforementioned decrease in gross profit.<\/p>\n

Liquidity<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\nAs of March 31, 2026, the Company had $47.8 million in cash and cash equivalents, no debt outstanding under its revolving credit facilities and had $14.2 million in availability under its revolving credit facility.<\/p>\n

\nFor the quarter ended March 31, 2026, the Company repurchased 295,695 shares at an average cost of $12.92 per share for approximately $3.9 million.<\/p>\n

Forward-Looking Statements<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\nThis press release may include “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and other applicable federal securities laws. All statements that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements. Forward looking statements can be identified through the use of words such as “estimate,” “project,” “intend,” “expect,” “believe,” “should,” “anticipate,” “hope,” “optimistic,” “plan,” “outlook,” “should,” “could,” “may” and similar expressions. The forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or those anticipated. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements and to review the risks as set forth in more detail in Ascent Industries Co.\u2019s Securities and Exchange Commission filings, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K, which filings are available from the SEC or on our website. Ascent Industries Co. assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking information included in this release.<\/p>\n

Non-GAAP Financial Information<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\nFinancial statement information included in this earnings release includes non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) measures and should be read along with the accompanying tables which provide a reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to GAAP measures.<\/p>\n

\nWe define “EBITDA” as earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. We define “Adjusted EBITDA” as EBITDA further adjusted for the impact of non-cash and other items we do not consider in our evaluation of ongoing performance. These items include: goodwill impairment, asset impairment, gain on lease modification, stock-based compensation, non-cash lease cost, acquisition costs and other fees, shelf registration costs, loss on extinguishment of debt, retention costs and restructuring and severance costs from net income. We caution investors that amounts presented in accordance with our definitions of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other companies because not all companies calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA in the same manner. We present EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA because we consider them to be important supplemental measures of our performance and investors’ understanding of our performance is enhanced by including these non-GAAP financial measures as a reasonable basis for comparing our ongoing results of operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

1<\/sup>We define “EBITDA” as earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. We define “Adjusted EBITDA” as EBITDA further adjusted for the impact of non-cash and other items we do not consider in our evaluation of ongoing performance. These items include: goodwill impairment, asset impairment, gain on lease modification, stock-based compensation, non-cash lease cost, acquisition costs and other fees, shelf registration costs, loss on extinguishment of debt, retention costs and restructuring and severance costs from net income. We caution investors that amounts presented in accordance with our definitions of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other companies because not all companies calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA in the same manner. We present EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA because we consider them to be important supplemental measures of our performance and investors’ understanding of our performance is enhanced by including these non-GAAP financial measures as a reasonable basis for comparing our ongoing results of operations.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
