1<\/sup>On May 4, 2026, the Company closed on a transaction to acquire substantially all of the assets of Midwest Graphic Sales, Inc and Sigma Coatings, Inc. (together “Midwest”). The second quarter of 2026 included $1.9 million in net sales, no net income and $0.3 million in Adjusted EBITDA from the acquisition of Midwest.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

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

\n\u201cThe second quarter was one of the strongest in our recent history, reflecting continued improvement across the business,\u201d said J. Bryan Kitchen, President and Chief Executive Officer of Ascent Industries Co. \u201cSequentially, legacy net sales increased approximately 22% and gross margin expanded approximately 710 basis points, while volume, average selling price, gross profit and Adjusted EBITDA also improved. Despite a specialty chemicals market that remains soft, year over year net sales increased approximately 28%, total gross profit increased 14%, and Adjusted EBITDA improved by $1.8 million. On a trailing-twelve-month basis, the company saw record highs for volume, net sales, gross profit and Adjusted EBITDA from Continuing Operations.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n“The sequential improvement in gross margin demonstrates that our optimization initiatives are beginning to translate growth into stronger earnings,” Kitchen added. “Although gross margin remains below both the prior-year level and our long-term expectations, our priorities remain unchanged. Commercial execution is creating profitable growth opportunities, while our operations teams apply the same standardize, simplify and optimize playbook that transformed our operating foundation over the past two years. Growth creates the opportunity. Optimization converts that opportunity into earnings. As reported last quarter, our platform-wide optimization initiative remains on track to achieve a run-rate improvement of approximately $3 million to $5 million in annualized gross profit improvement by the end of 2026. As we continue to grow, each operational improvement expands the earnings power of the platform and compounds long-term shareholder returns.”<\/p>\n

\n\u201cThe successful integration of the Midwest Graphic Sales acquisition further reinforces our disciplined acquisition strategy,\u201d Kitchen continued. \u201cIn the first two months since we closed, the business performed in line with our expectations, positively contributing to gross profit and Adjusted EBITDA. Back-office integration was completed a full quarter ahead of our original commitment, the manufacturing transition remains on schedule, and our teams are already developing opportunities beyond the original underwriting case. We are building a combined business that is more capable and more valuable than either company could have become independently.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nKitchen concluded, \u201cOur strategy remains unchanged. What has changed is the evidence that it is delivering the outcomes we envisioned. Over the past two years, we have systematically improved the quality of our portfolio, strengthened our commercial execution, enhanced our operational excellence and applied disciplined capital allocation. Together, these capabilities are reinforcing one another, creating a higher-quality business capable of delivering consistent growth, higher returns on invested capital and greater long-term shareholder value across market cycles.\u201d<\/p>\n

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

\nNet sales from continuing operations were $25.7 million compared to $18.7 million in the second quarter of 2025. The increase was a result of increases in volume and average selling prices.<\/p>\n

\nGross profit from continuing operations increased 14.0% to $5.5 million, or 21.6% of net sales, compared to $4.9 million, or 26.1% of net sales, in the second quarter of 2025. The increase in dollars was primarily driven by increases in cost recovery in the period due to increased production, reductions in utilities, and repairs and maintenance partially offset by increases in labor and overhead.<\/p>\n

\nNet income from continuing operations increased to $0.7 million compared to a net loss of ($2.4) million in the second quarter of 2025. Diluted earnings per share increased to $0.07 in the second quarter of 2026 compared to a diluted loss per share of ($0.25) in the second quarter of 2025.<\/p>\n

\nAdjusted EBITDA from continuing operations increased to $1.5 million in the second quarter of 2026, with adjusted EBITDA margin increasing to 5.7% compared to (1.8)% in the prior year period. The increase was primarily driven by the aforementioned increase in gross profit as well as reductions in SG&A in the current year.<\/p>\n

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

\nAs of June 30, 2026, the Company had $28.1 million in cash and cash equivalents, no debt outstanding under its revolving credit facilities and had $17.9 million in availability under its revolving credit facility.<\/p>\n

\nFor the quarter ended June 30, 2026, the Company repurchased 209,868 shares at an average cost of $13.80 per share for approximately $2.9 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\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\n\n
