Kewaunee Scientific Corporation announced its financial results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2026, which ended on July 31, 2025. The company reported sales of $71.1 million, marking a 46.9% increase compared to $48.4 million from the previous year's first quarter. Pre-tax earnings for the quarter rose by 61.3% to $3.92 million, up from $2.43 million in the prior year quarter. Net earnings were $3.1 million, an increase from $2.2 million in the same period last year. Diluted earnings per share were reported at $1.04, compared to $0.74 in the previous year quarter. Kewaunee's order backlog was reported to be $205.0 million as of July 31, 2025. Despite solid performance in the first quarter, Kewaunee anticipates uneven quarterly performance for the remainder of fiscal year 2026 due to volatility in project delivery timelines and challenging market conditions. The company is committed to strategic investments aimed at fostering both organic and inorganic growth, which are expected to impact near-term earnings growth but position the company for rapid and sustained growth in the future.
