TO OUR
SHAREHOLDERS
Dear Shareholders,
Fiscal year 2025 was a year defined by resilience, operational discipline, and continued execution amid a complex macroeconomic environment. While external pressures, including tariffs, housing market softness, and shifting demand patterns, affected certain areas of our performance, we strengthened our core operations and further positioned the Company for long-term growth.
Financial Performance
In 2025, net sales increased 2.3% to $59.1 million, driven primarily by growth in our Disposable Protective Apparel segment. Our Building Supply segment remained stable despite significant housing market headwinds. Income from operations rose 11.3% to $3.8 million, reflecting strong cost control and improved efficiency. Net income declined 10.1% to $3.5 million, largely due to much lower non‑operational other income and the impact of tariffs on margins.
We ended 2025 with a strong balance sheet, including $17.0 million in cash and working capital of $48.5 million. During the year, we returned $3.3 million to shareholders through our share repurchases. Our current financial position provides flexibility to support operations, invest in growth opportunities, and continue returning capital to shareholders.
Building Supply Segment
Our Building Supply segment demonstrated resilience in a challenging environment, with sales increasing modestly by 0.2% to $36.0 million. The housing market remained under pressure in 2025, with single‑family housing starts declining approximately 7%.
