Taylor, President and Chief Executive Officer. \u201cFourth quarter net earnings increased to $9.2 million on sales of $191.8 million, while sales volume reached the highest quarterly level in Company history. Fiscal 2026 sales volume also established a new Company record, driving net earnings of $19.5 million on sales of $646.9 million. These results reflect the strength of our operating platform, disciplined commercial execution, and continued focus on profitable growth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Taylor continued, \u201cOur fiscal 2026 performance demonstrates the effectiveness of our long-term growth strategy. Record sales volumes, increased capacity utilization, and strong execution across our facilities drove improved operating results throughout the year. In addition, the Century Metals acquisition has proven to be an excellent strategic fit by expanding our processing capabilities, enhancing our geographic reach, and contributing meaningfully to both volume growth and profitability. Combined with our risk management capabilities and strong balance sheet, we believe we are well positioned to continue building value for our shareholders.\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\n        <strong>FINANCIAL RESULTS<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">For the quarter ended March 31, 2026 (the \u201c2026 quarter\u201d), the Company recorded net earnings of approximately $9.2 million ($1.30 diluted earnings per share) on sales of approximately $191.8 million compared to net earnings of approximately $5.3 million ($0.76 diluted earnings per share) on net sales of approximately $129.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 (the \u201c2025 quarter\u201d). EBITDA for the 2026 quarter was approximately $15.2 million compared to approximately $8.5 million for the 2025 quarter. Sales volume increased from approximately 166,500 tons for the 2025 quarter to approximately 189,000 tons for the 2026 quarter, an increase of approximately 22,500 tons, or 14%. Approximately half of the increase was attributable to same-facility volume growth at the Company&#8217;s existing operations, while the remaining increase resulted from volumes contributed by Century Metals, which was acquired during fiscal 2026.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">For the year ended March 31, 2026 (\u201cfiscal 2026\u201d), the Company recorded net earnings of approximately $19.5 million ($2.76 diluted earnings per share) on sales of approximately $646.9 million.

quarter.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Sales volume for the 2026 quarter consisted of approximately 157,500 tons from inventory and another 19,000 tons of toll processing, compared to approximately 139,000 tons from inventory and 16,500 tons of toll processing in the 2025 quarter. The increase in sales volume was driven by stronger demand among some customers, successful commercial efforts to increase capacity utilization and the acquisition of Century.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">The average selling price increased from approximately $836\u00a0per ton in the 2025 quarter to approximately $1,108 per ton in the 2026 quarter. The flat-roll segment recorded earnings from operations\u00a0of approximately $13.9 million and $7.1 million\u00a0for the 2026 quarter and 2025\u00a0quarter, respectively.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\n        <strong>TUBULAR SEGMENT OPERATIONS<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Tubular segment sales for the 2026 quarter totaled approximately $16.1 million, compared to approximately $11.5 million for the 2025 quarter.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Tons sold increased from approximately 11,000 tons\u00a0for the\u00a02025 quarter to approximately 12,500 tons for the 2026 quarter.

Hedging activities are typically accounted for using mark-to-market (\u201cMTM\u201d) accounting treatment and 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 period than the corresponding improvement or contraction in our physical margins. For the 2026 quarter, we recognized a gain on hedging activities of approximately $0.9 million. For fiscal 2026, we recognized a total hedging gain of approximately $3.4 million.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\n        <strong>OUTLOOK<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Management expects first quarter fiscal 2027 sales volumes to be comparable to fourth quarter fiscal 2026 volumes.

The successful execution of our growth strategy, including the integration of Century, has strengthened our operating platform and expanded our ability to serve customers across our markets.\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Taylor concluded, \u201cWith a diversified footprint, a strong balance sheet, disciplined commercial approach, and proven risk management capabilities, we believe we are well positioned to capitalize on market opportunities and continue delivering profitable growth and long-term value for our shareholders.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>ABOUT FRIEDMAN INDUSTRIES<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Friedman Industries, Incorporated (\u201cthe Company\u201d), headquartered in Longview, Texas, is a diversified metals processing and pipe manufacturing company operating through two segments: flat-roll products and tubular products.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">The flat-roll products segment includes processing facilities in Hickman, Arkansas; Decatur, Alabama; Miami, Florida; East Chicago, Indiana; Granite City, Illinois; and Sinton, Texas, as well as a distribution facility in Orlando, Florida.
