David Dunbar: Thank you, Chris. Good morning, and welcome to our fiscal third quarter 2026 conference call. This quarter provides another strong proof point that our strategy, shifting to our faster-growing end markets and increasing new product development is working. We delivered top line sales growth of 8%, including organic growth of 6.5%. Our sales in the fast-growing end markets are now about 30% of our total, and new products are expected to add 300 basis points of growth to our 2026 sales results. It is also exciting to see how the mix of our businesses has evolved. Today, Electronics and our Engineering Technologies business generate about 70% of sales and nearly 80% of total segment profits, both built around custom-engineered solutions for attractive secular markets.

Q&A Session

That mix shift is what we set out to achieve. Our Engineering Technologies segment has effectively repositioned itself as a vital partner for space, defense and aviation customers. So we are renaming the segment Standex Aerospace & Defense. Looking ahead, demand remains healthy. Company-wide book-to-bill was 1.05 and Electronics delivered 1.14, setting us up well as we move into the fourth quarter. I would like to thank our employees, our executives and the Board of Directors for their efforts and continued dedication and support that drove our solid fiscal third quarter 2026 results. Now let’s look at the results beginning on Slide 3. In the third quarter, sales increased 8.1% year-on-year to $224.6 million, including 6.5% organic growth. Electronics grew 6.8% organically.

New product sales grew approximately 40% to approximately $18.7 million. Sales in the fast-growth markets were approximately $69 million, more than 30% of total sales. We are pleased with the momentum in the business reflected in an overall book-to-bill ratio of 1.05 and within Electronics of 1.14. Adjusted operating margin of 19.7%, was up 30 basis points year-on-year. On March 6, we completed the divestiture of Federal Industries at an enterprise value of approximately $70 million. This is in line with our Portfolio Simplification strategy, allowing us to focus our management and capital resources more on fast growth markets and new product launches. We used the proceeds to pay down about $62 million of debt, reducing net leverage to 1.9x.

Beginning this quarter, we will report under four operating segments: Electronics, Aerospace & Defense, Scientific and Engraving & Hydraulics. The Hydraulics business has been combined with the Engraving business under the Engraving & Hydraulics segment. This divestiture continues a decade of deliberate portfolio shaping toward higher growth, higher-margin businesses. In 2014, we operated 16 businesses. Today, we’re down to 5. And following the Amran/Narayan acquisition, Electronics represents more than half of Standex, helping drive the performance you see today. Our original fiscal year 2026 sales outlook included a full year contribution from Federal Industries. Even after the Federal divestiture, we still expect fiscal 2026 revenue to increase by about $100 million versus 2025, supported by momentum in new products and fast growth markets, especially in Electronics and Aerospace & Defense.

I’m pleased with the momentum that we are building and launching new products. We expect to launch more than 15 new products this fiscal year on top of 16 new products last fiscal year. We expect new product sales pro forma for the Federal divestiture to grow by $24 million to $64 million, adding nearly 300 basis points of organic growth in the year. Our sales into the fast-growing markets such as Space, Defense and Grid, are expected to increase to approximately $270 million, constituting about 30% of our total sales. On a sequential basis, we expect slightly higher revenue driven by higher contributions from fast growth end markets and new product sales and slightly to moderately higher adjusted operating margin due to higher volume and pricing and productivity initiatives, partially offset by growth investments.

On a year-on-year basis, in fiscal fourth quarter 2026, we expect slightly to moderately higher revenue, driven by mid- to high single-digit organic growth from growing backlog in fast-growth markets and increased new product sales, partially offset by the revenue impact from the Federal divestiture. We expect slightly lower adjusted operating margin as organic growth and realization of productivity actions are more than offset by growth investments in capacity expansions, higher medical costs and increased variable compensation expenses. I will now turn the call over to Ademir to discuss our financial performance in greater detail.

Ademir Sarcevic: Thank you, David, and good morning, everyone. Let’s turn to Slide 4, third quarter 2026 summary. On a consolidated basis, total revenue increased approximately 8.1% year-on-year to $224.6 million. This reflected organic growth of 6.5%, 0.2% benefit from acquisitions and 1.4% benefit from foreign currency. Third quarter 2026 adjusted operating margin increased 30 basis points year-on-year to 19.7%. Adjusted earnings per share increased 13.5% year-on-year to $2.21. Net cash provided by operating activities was $9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to $9.6 million a year ago. Capital expenditures were $2.7 million compared to $6.1 million a year ago. As a result, we generated fiscal third quarter free cash flow of $6.3 million compared to $3.5 million a year ago.

Now please turn to Slide 5, and I will begin to discuss our segment performance and outlook, beginning with Electronics and Aerospace & Defense. Electronics revenue increased 7.6% year-on-year to a record $119.7 million, driven by organic growth of 6.8% and 0.8% benefit from foreign currency. Organic growth was driven by sales into fast-growth markets and increased new product sales. Adjusted operating margin of 29.3% in fiscal third quarter 2026 decreased 50 basis points year-on-year due to growth investments, partially offset by higher volume, pricing initiatives and product mix. Our book-to-bill in fiscal third quarter was 1.14 with orders of approximately $136 million. This marks the seventh consecutive quarter with book-to-bill near or above 1.

This consistent streak of book-to-bill around 1, targeted capacity expansion within grid an acceleration in new product sales adds durability to our growth. In addition, our monthly order for over $50 million in both March and April, further indicating robust demand and a run rate to a strong fiscal 2027 performance as these orders convert into sales. Sequentially, in fiscal fourth quarter 2026, we expect slightly to moderately higher revenue, reflecting higher sales into fast growth end markets and increased new product sales. We expect slightly higher adjusted operating margin, primarily due to higher revenue, partially offset by continued growth investments. On a year-on-year basis, we expect high single-digit organic growth. Aerospace & Defense revenue increased 33.7% to $36.6 million, driven by organic growth of 20.8%, 12.2% benefit from recent McStarlite acquisition and 0.7% benefit from foreign currency.

Organic growth was driven by increased project activity in the commercialization of space end market. Adjusted operating margin of 18% decreased 60 basis points year-on-year, primarily due to project mix. Sequentially, we expect slightly to moderately higher revenue due to growth in new product sales and more favorable project timing. We expect slightly to moderately higher adjusted operating margin due to higher volume and realization of productivity initiatives. On a year-on-year basis, we expect double-digit organic growth. Now please turn to Slide 6 for a discussion of the Scientific and Engraving & Hydraulics segment. Scientific revenue decreased 1.7% to $18 million primarily due to organic decline from lower demand from academic and research institutions affected by NIH cuts.

Adjusted operating margin of 21.9% decreased 70 basis points year-on-year due to lower sales. Sequentially, we expect slightly higher revenue and similar adjusted operating margin due to product mix. Engraving & Hydraulics revenue increased 2.2% to $44.8 million, driven by 4% benefit from foreign currency, partially offset by organic decline of 1.8%. The organic decline was driven by general market weakness for hydraulic cylinders. Adjusted operating margin of 14.3% in fiscal third quarter 2026 increased 210 basis points year-on-year due to higher sales and realization of previously executed restructuring actions. In our next fiscal quarter, on a sequential basis, we expect slightly lower revenue and similar to slightly higher adjusted operating margin from realization of restructuring actions and productivity initiatives.

Next, please turn to Slide 7 for a summary of Standex’s liquidity statistics and capitalization structure. Our current available liquidity is approximately $191 million. At the end of the third quarter, Standex had net debt of $369.1 million compared to net debt of $470.4 million at the end of fiscal third quarter 2025. Our net leverage ratio currently stands at 1.9x. We paid down our debt by approximately $62 million during the fiscal third quarter 2026. In fiscal fourth quarter 2026, we expect interest expense between $6.8 million and $7 million. Standex’s long-term debt at the end of fiscal third quarter 2026 was $472.8 million. Cash and cash equivalents totaled $103.7 million. We declared our 247th quarterly consecutive cash dividend of $0.34 per share and approximately 6.3% increase year-on-year.

In fiscal 2026, we expect capital expenditures between $27 million and $30 million. I will now turn the call over to David for concluding remarks.

David Dunbar: Thank you, Ademir. Please turn to Slide 8. To summarize, I’m very pleased to see the continued organic growth in the third quarter with a book-to-bill ratio of 1.05, when adjusted for the Federal divestiture. Organic growth was driven by our Electronics and Aerospace & Defense segments, which grew 6.8% and 20.8%, respectively. We will continue to align our organic and inorganic growth investments around secular end markets and new products that expand our presence and deepen our customer relationships. Our acquisition strategy will continue to focus on businesses with accretive margins, exposure to fast-growth markets and delivery of customer solutions. With the divestiture of Federal Industries, we have realigned our company around four operating segments.

We expect fiscal 2026 sales to increase approximately $100 million over fiscal 2025, with margin expansion. While we remain on course, we will provide an update to our long-term targets on the next earnings call, considering the changing portfolio composition with the Federal Industries’ divestiture. We will now open the line for questions.

Operator: [Operator Instructions] First, we will hear from Chris Moore with CJS Securities.

Christopher Moore: Maybe we could start on the defense opportunity. You talked about providing missile nose cones solutions, include nose cones for interceptors, tactile missiles as well as development hypersonics. Maybe can you just give us a sense for the scale of that opportunity? What kind of orders look like? Is there — are there long lead times? Just any thoughts there would be really helpful.

David Dunbar: Yes. So there, we’re talking about within the Engineering Technologies. We have — we serve defense in the magnetics business in Electronics and in Engineering Technologies. The Engineering Technologies business provides nose cones out of their Wisconsin facility. And about 15% of the Engineering Technologies — or Aerospace & Defense segment is defense. Most of that is missiles. There is an opportunity to significantly increase that in the coming years. We have had discussions with customers and actually with the Under Secretary of the Department of Defense asking if we are able to ramp and they give us different scenarios. These upper scenarios really kind of depend on the government procurement process, passing orders from multiyear commitments to us. We have received some orders, we expect a nice increase in those sales in 2027, potentially greater if they can unlock the procurement process.

Christopher Moore: Got it. I appreciate that. Maybe just switch gears to Amran/Narayan. Just in terms of the Croatian facility, trying to understand where you are in terms of construction? And then just in terms of creating the infrastructure for full market penetration there, what’s a reasonable time frame? And are the competitive dynamics much different in Europe than you see in the U.S?

David Dunbar: Yes. There’s a lot in that question. We had no presence in Croatia with that business before. There was no footprint in Europe. We now have the Croatia site. It is operating. We made our first products a few weeks ago. We have customers visiting this month and next to qualify the site. We have external auditors to achieve various certifications, including ISO certifications that we expect in June. So shipments are beginning at a kind of a slow rate, begin to ramp much more quickly after those June audits are complete. So we’re still confident that our longer-term expectation of at least $60 million in 3 to 5 years is reasonable based on the commitments we have from our current European customers. We are also now building a sales — a commercial organization in Europe so we can understand your third question, which is what about the competitive dynamics there?

There is certainly more opportunity than we see. It’s a larger market than North America. It’s a much larger market than India. And we have — so we believe once we’re on the ground with our sales team with the site there, we will be able to answer that third question for you and figure out what we need to do to take that $60 million expectation higher.

Christopher Moore: Just a quick follow up. Probably, we’re a couple of years before you’re really accelerating in Europe?

David Dunbar: We ship into Europe from India now. So some of those shipments will begin to come from Europe. We’ll continue to ship from India. So in our FY ’27, we think upper single-digit million shipment number is kind of a reasonable expectation. There is upside to that. How it ramps beyond that, I guess we’ll have to report in the coming year or so. But there certainly is upside because the market is there, and we have the footprint and are building capacity to grow beyond that.

Operator: next question will be from Matt Koranda at ROTH Capital Partners.

Matt Koranda: I guess I just want to start with the Electronics segment and the order flow looks like it’s up north of 75% year-on-year. Wanted to hear a little bit about the drivers of the strength and order flow between grid and the core magnetics and Sensing Solutions business.

David Dunbar: Yes. So the growth, I may have to add, Matt, about the 75%, I don’t see the 75% math. We had great book-to-bill, 1.14 on growing sales. We’re seeing strong order flow in our core switches business, which for us is a good indication that the general industry, certainly in Asia, is picking up. That in the quarter, we were — the sales were up over 20%, which is relays are strong. Our sales in the Grid were up about 20% with a book-to-bill of about 1.1 or something. So we see very strong order flow there. And it’s kind of a tale of two cities in the industrial world, space, defense, grid, aviation, those businesses are all growing double digits. General industry in North America and Europe is still fairly slow. And as I said before, general industry in Asia looks like it has really picked up.

Ademir Sarcevic: Yes. And if I can just add to that, Matt. As we said in our prepared remarks, we had 2 consecutive months of orders over $50 million for Electronics, which has never happened before. Some of that is clearly the strength we have seen and continue to see in the grid space and some of these fast-growth end markets. But also, as to David’s point, indication that the general industrial markets are stabilizing, and we are kind of turning the corner. Now it takes us a little time to convert those orders into sales, but it makes us pretty bullish about what we’re going to see in FY ’27 in terms of top line performance, again, assuming there is no significant macroeconomic or geopolitical challenges.

Matt Koranda: Okay, that’s helpful, guys. And then I guess for my second question, I wanted to ask a portfolio question. It seems like now that you’re under 2 turns of leverage, you got plenty of capacity to deploy incremental dollars to M&A. Just wanted to hear the latest on the funnel and how you guys are thinking about add-ons to kind of the core segments as you sort of add more capacity at this point in time?

David Dunbar: Yes. Matt, we like the position we’re in now. We are delighted with the integration of the Amran/Narayan of the grid business, and how that continues to perform. And with a leverage under 2 now, but we’re building sizable powder. And if you look at the makeup of our business, now 70% of our sales come from Engineered Components in Engineering Technologies and Electronics. And those are the businesses that serve these fast-growing markets with customized products. So that is — that’s the universe where we will explore opportunities. And in our funnel, we always have a number of kind of family-owned businesses that are similar to — or privately owned businesses, similar to acquisitions we made over the decades at Standex.

With the Grid acquisition, that has also opened up opportunities for us to look at related products, to solve bigger problems, to become an even more important partner to our customers. So in the Switchgear, in addition to the instrument transformer, there are other products that support the metering and the electrical quality measures of the Switchgear itself. On the Electronics side, there are a lot of opportunities around components and modules. I think we’ve mentioned in the past, every time a customer works with us, we have to say for Reed switch-based sensor, a switch or a relay, they are also working with other suppliers and other components for that same product that are customized to some extent, whether it’s capacitors or filters or something like this.

So that really opens the aperture for us to explore wider opportunities. So for that, we’re — we were in discussion with a number of third parties to help us identify targets. So we have an existing funnel. We’re working at expanding the funnel with these new opportunities as we fully explore opportunities to expand these engineered components businesses.

Operator: Next question will be from Ross Sparenblek with William Blair.

Ross Sparenblek: Maybe just a level side on the top line guide. Are we picking out the first 3 quarters of Federal, kind of $25 million? Or are we leaving that in there just taking in the fourth quarter?

Ademir Sarcevic: The Federal is out in the fourth quarter guidance.

Ross Sparenblek: So just the fourth, okay. And then you guys said grid was up 20% year-over-year. So that implies what, like a $160 million run rate? Pretty healthy.

Ademir Sarcevic: Yes.

David Dunbar: Yes, yes.

Ross Sparenblek: And so then you guys said a book-to-bill of 1.1. So that means core organic growth, book-to-bill is probably 1.15, up nearly 20%. We’re definitely seeing some momentum?

Ademir Sarcevic: You’ve got your math right.

Ross Sparenblek: That’s what I get paid for. And any updates on India and the progress you’ve seen with rolling out lean there and driving that capacity?

David Dunbar: Well, I tell you, we had — just a few weeks ago, if Vineet’s here with us today. He was in India a few weeks ago with a very large team for a global grid capacity expansion Kaizen. So we have an extensive plan to look at global demand, a roll-up from customers around the world by product family. We have a site in Texas, a site in India, site in Croatia now. We’re producing in Mexico and our Mexico site and are looking at our global capacity expansion. So our assumptions — We do have assumptions that within India simply with Lean, there was another, call it, 15-plus percent capacity expansion from Lean which fuels us in addition to Mexico and Croatia through this year. As you know, we have the Texas site coming on next year. Your question was about India. So we have a good handle on the initial — there’s unexploited Lean opportunities there, 15-plus percent capacity.

Ross Sparenblek: Okay. And maybe if I could squeeze one more. Can you just remind us really quick on the growth investments within Electronics, just the size of the cadence? A couple of million dollars in quarter?

Ademir Sarcevic: Yes. So if you kind of break it down by part, Ross, most of our growth investments are coming in the grid business. Obviously, there’s some investments we put into Croatia. That’s probably — it’s about, call it, 30, 40 basis points, if you think about it from kind of a margin standpoint of impact right now because, obviously, we’re not shipping products yet out of Croatia. And then as David mentioned, and as you know, we’re expanding capacity in Houston and Mexico. So you have to hire some people and get some of the rolling before we can — before we declare those sites operational. So there’s probably another, I would probably tell you 50, 60 basis points of those investments as well, kind of the — from a run rate basis standpoint.

Ross Sparenblek: Okay. So there’s Section 232 issues. There was some one-off stipulation regarding Grid. I didn’t fully dig into details. It just seems like given the growth in Amran, those margins should have been maybe a little bit higher as stated in Electronics?

Ademir Sarcevic: Yes. Look, we think we’re going to continue to expand margins in Electronics, especially as you kind of think about where we are growing, is our fast-growth end markets where we are more profitable. So we do expect we’re going to clip that 30% in adjusted operating margin in the near future.

Operator: Next question will be from Michael Shlisky at D.A. Davidson.

Michael Shlisky: Speaking of operating margins, just looking at the results, pretty clear that Engraving & Hydraulics are now kind of the lowest of the four. I guess those are kind of two different businesses. Can you comment on your plans for those businesses? You’re always trying to hone it a little bit better and a little bit higher year after year. Is there a potential that those are next to go, I’d say, after Federal?

David Dunbar: Well, in there — as you know, they’re strong businesses in their sectors. They’re not burning platforms in that sense. It’s kind of a question of timing to find the best opportunities for these businesses. Within Engraving, we have some pretty interesting growth initiatives going on. We talked about making these specialized parts, functional textures, those are ramping up. So the businesses themselves are fundamentally sound. We have some profit improvement projects in both of them. And if you look at our history, where we’ve invested in acquisitions, we love the Engineered Components businesses. You will likely see more of that. And we have some very good businesses that Hydraulics & Engraving, they could be fit somewhere else. And well, we continue to monitor the situation and we’ll make a decision at the time.

Michael Shlisky: Okay.In Aerospace, given the organic growth you’re seeing now and you’ve got quite a few opportunities ahead of you. Do you see a need to expand capacity there on a greenfield basis?

Ademir Sarcevic: In the Aerospace & Defense segment, is that your question, Mike?

Michael Shlisky: Yes.

Ademir Sarcevic: Yes. Not from a greenfield standpoint, at least not in the near term. We have a bit of a capacity in our sites. But obviously, as the business continues to grow at some point, we might have to look at additional space. But no immediate plans as of right now. We feel we service what’s coming our way in the near term.

David Dunbar: Yes, I guess the one caveat to that is we mentioned the missile programs. If these missile orders do appear for some of these higher scenarios, then we will expand the footprint.

Ademir Sarcevic: That’s correct.

Michael Shlisky: Okay. Got it.

David Dunbar: But we would only do that with the long term — I’m sorry, but we would only do that with a long-term commitment from the customer, and we’d certainly communicate that in a future quarter.

Michael Shlisky: Right. I imagine you have an ROIC hurdle to beat there, and it wouldn’t be any different than you would for Amran or anything else.

David Dunbar: Right. Right, exactly.

Michael Shlisky: Great. And then it sounds like you’re not looking to give us too much guidance on fiscal 2027, but can you just comment on the new product menu for 2027. Do you have as many rolling out next year that you had this year? Do you have much in the pipeline? Can you expect a halfway decent year from that part of the growth plan?

David Dunbar: Yes. If you just step back and think our general growth model, we think we’ve got these fast growth markets that continue to grow upper teens, 20% a year, that’s 6 points of growth from that. Our new products, we still expect that to add 300 basis points of growth. And then whatever happens with general industries may be a tailwind to that. So just as a high level, I would be thinking — in that zone for 2027, if the guide is beneath here. So in terms of numbers of products in 2027 got in line with…

Ademir Sarcevic: Yes, Definitely, Mike. I think we think the momentum will continue. Actually, it might even increase because as we are adding — our funnel is increasing internally of new product ideas.

Operator: [Operator Instructions] Next, we will hear from Gary Prestopino with Barrington Research.

Gary Prestopino: In your new segment breakdown, the other category, is that legacy Federal before the divestiture? What exactly is in there?

Ademir Sarcevic: That’s Legacy. That’s all it is.

Gary Prestopino: Okay. That’s all it is. Okay. So with the sale of Federal, was the corporate expense associated with Federal, does that come out of the equation? I noticed like your corporate expense was about $8.6 million this quarter, a step down from last quarter, which was abnormally high. But as we’re modeling, what kind of number should we be looking at for that corporate expense number?

Ademir Sarcevic: Yes, Gary, it’s Ademir. I mean we don’t really allocate a lot of corporate costs. So there’s no corporate costs that would go away with Federal. I mean what’s really driving the reduction in the corporate cost for this quarter is we — we got slightly lower medical costs versus some of the prior quarters. There was some adjustment to the bonus payouts. And that’s basically it. But we do assume that going forward, kind of $9 million to $10 million run rate is probably the right number.

Gary Prestopino: Okay. And then just in terms of your tax rate because I noticed it was down, I think, this quarter and obviously, a lot of moving parts with the numbers with the sale of Federal. But for Q4, is it looking like it will be about 24%?

Ademir Sarcevic: Yes, 24% to 25% is kind of what I would tell you is a good estimate.

Gary Prestopino: Okay. And then just last question in terms of what’s your growth in Electronics. I mean, can you — is it all across the board and grid, replacement of grid, data centers? Or where are you starting to see abnormal growth? .

David Dunbar: Did you say abnormal growth?

Gary Prestopino: Right. Yes. Growth’s in excess of what you were thinking in terms of the expectation.

David Dunbar: Yes. So the growth driver is certainly a grid, defense. There is a defense component in Electronics. And I mentioned it earlier, our sales of Bare Switches, our Reed Switches, which was up 20% year-on-year. So that — those go everywhere. So a sign of a general industry strength primarily in Asia. And our relay sales are strong. They’re driven by kind of test and measurement equipment, similar drivers to the grid, serving data centers and the equipment that go into data centers. I know we look at it, we have three businesses in there, as you know. We’ve got what we used to call Magnetics, our Edge business, which is really a North American business. That was down in the quarter year-on-year, largely due to some execution issues.

Their book-to-bill was very strong. The Detect, the SST business, which is where the switches and sensors are was upper single digits. That includes the switch business I talked about before. And then grid, of course, which we talked about. So kind of triangulates into your growth question from a couple of different angles.

Operator: At this time, Mr. Dunbar, we have no other questions registered. Please proceed, sir.

David Dunbar: All right. Thank you. I appreciate everybody connecting today on this call. We always enjoy reporting on our progress at Standex. Thank you also to our employees and shareholders for your continued support and contributions. I look forward to speaking with you again in our fiscal fourth quarter call.

Operator: Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, this does indeed conclude your conference call for today. Once again, thank you for attending. And at this time, we ask that you please disconnect your lines. Have a good weekend.
