Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
(Dollar and share amounts in thousands, except per share data)
Overview
We are a global leader in the design and manufacture of mission critical fluid, power, heat transfer, vacuum, and advanced mixing technologies for the Defense, Energy & Process, and Space industries. For the Defense industry, our equipment is used in nuclear and non-nuclear propulsion, power, fluid transfer, thermal management, and advanced mixing systems. For the Energy & Process industries we supply equipment for vacuum, heat transfer, advanced mixing, and fluid transfer applications used in oil refining, downstream chemical facilities, fertilizers, ethylene, methanol, energetics, edible oil, food & beverage, pulp & paper, medical, and multiple alternative energy applications such as hydrogen, small modular nuclear, concentrated solar, lithium extraction, and geothermal processes. For the Space industry, our equipment is used in propulsion, power, thermal management, advanced mixing, and life support systems.
Our brands are built upon engineering expertise and close customer collaboration to design, develop, and produce mission critical equipment and systems that enable our customers to meet their economic and operational objectives. Continual improvement of our processes and systems to ensure qualified and compliant equipment are hallmarks of our brand. Our early engagement with customers and support until the end of service life are values upon which our brands are built.
Our corporate headquarters is co-located with our production facilities in Batavia, NY, and we have wholly-owned subsidiaries in Arvada, CO, Jupiter, FL, Louisville, CO, and Greenville, SC and have sales and engineering offices in Houston, TX, Suzhou, China and Ahmedabad and Pune, India.
Our fiscal year ends on March 31 of each year. We refer to our fiscal year, which ends March 31, 2026, as fiscal 2026. Likewise, we refer to our fiscal year that ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024 as fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024, respectively.
Acquisitions
On October 20, 2025, we completed our acquisition of Xdot Bearing Technologies ("Xdot"), a specialized consulting, design, and engineering firm focused on foil bearing technology. Xdot will be integrated into Barber-Nichols, LLC ("BN"). We believe that combining Xdot's foil bearing technology with BN's turbomachinery expertise will significantly expand our ability to design and deliver high-speed rotating machines into new markets and applications. Xdot has annual sales of approximately $1,000 and is expected to be slightly accretive to our fiscal 2026 net income. The purchase price of this transaction was $900, subject to certain potential adjustments including a customary working capital adjustment, and was funded with cash on hand. The purchase agreement included two potential cash contingent earn-outs to be paid on the first and second anniversary of the transaction dependent upon the achievement of certain qualitative milestones totaling $600.
On January 23, 2026, we acquired FlackTek Manufacturing, LLC and FlackTek Sales, LLC (collectively, “FlackTek”), a provider of advanced mixing and material processing solutions. FlackTek’s patented technology platform delivers highly repeatable, precision mixing with significantly faster cycle times, minimal entrained air, reduced downtime between batches, consistency in production, and reduced heat transfer compared to traditional bladed methods. FlackTek’s systems are used by a global customer base that includes leading OEMs, research and development centers, defense laboratories, and industrial manufacturers serving adhesives, sealants, functional coatings, composites, electronics, and other advanced materials markets. FlackTek adds a proven product portfolio with a shared customer base and an installed footprint that extends across the full value chain, from upstream to downstream production and quality control. Its mixing systems are process-critical and market-agnostic, serving defense, energetics, oil & gas, food, battery, aerospace and space, medical, and other industrial applications where precision, repeatability, and consistency drive value. With approximately $30,000 in annualized revenue, FlackTek has built a growing installed base that generates recurring demand for consumables, accessories, and services, enhancing revenue visibility and durability.
FlackTek will operate as a wholly owned subsidiary of Graham Corporation, maintaining its headquarters in Louisville, CO with a satellite location in Greenville, SC, and will be integrated into Graham’s financial, compliance, and operational infrastructure. Under the terms of the transaction, the Company acquired 100% of the equity of FlackTek for a purchase price of $35,000, which was paid 85% in cash and 15% using 76 shares of Graham’s common stock, along with the potential to earn an additional $25,000 in future performance-based cash earnouts over four years beginning with fiscal 2027, based upon achieving progressively increasing adjusted EBITDA performance targets each year.
Summary
Highlights for the three months ended December 31, 2025 include:
•
Net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2026 were $56,701, up 21% compared with the third quarter of fiscal 2025, reflecting the strength of our diversified revenue base. This increase was across multiple markets including a 31% increase in sales to the Defense industry, primarily due to the timing of project milestones, as well as new programs and growth in existing programs. Sales to the Energy & Process market increased $2,094 or 13% over the prior year driven by Aftermarket sales, as well as
20
continued momentum in our New Energy markets and in particular small modular reactors (“SMRs”). Aftermarket sales to the Energy & Process and Defense markets totaled $10,815 for the quarter, 11% above the prior year. Note that historically the third quarter of our fiscal year is our lowest revenue quarter due to the holidays and a higher level of vacation being taken by our direct labor force.
•
Gross profit for the third quarter of fiscal 2026 was $13,469, up $1,783 or 15% compared with the third quarter of fiscal 2025, primarily due to the increase in net sales discussed above, partially offset by a 100 basis point decline in gross profit margin to 23.8%. The decrease in gross profit margin reflects the mix of sales during the third quarter of fiscal 2026, and in particular, a high level of material receipts which carry a lower profit margin. For the first nine months of fiscal 2026, we estimate the impact of tariffs on our consolidated financial statements to be approximately $1,000 compared to the prior year. We estimate the range of potential impact of increased tariffs for the full year will be between an incremental $1,000 to $1,500 compared to the prior year. Additionally, the third quarter and the first nine months of fiscal 2025 gross profit benefited $255 and $1,460, respectively, from a grant received from the BlueForge Alliance to reimburse us for the cost of our defense welder training programs in Batavia which did not repeat in the current year.
•
Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A"), including intangible amortization, for the third quarter of fiscal 2026 increased $868 over the same period of fiscal 2025 and reflects the investments we are making in our operations, our employees, and our technology, higher acquisition and integration costs due to the Xdot and FlackTek acquisitions, as well as higher performance-based compensation due to our increased profitability, which was partially offset by a reversal of bad debt reserves as past due accounts were collected. SG&A costs represented 18.6% of sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to 20.6% in fiscal 2025 as we continue to leverage our fixed overhead. In connection with the acquisition of BN, we entered into a Performance Bonus Agreement to provide employees of BN with a supplemental performance-based award based on the achievement of BN performance objectives for fiscal years 2024, 2025, and 2026, which can range between $2,000 to $4,000 per year (the "BN Performance Bonus). Performance-based compensation expense included in SG&A for the BN Performance Bonus, including applicable taxes, was $1,076 in the third quarter of fiscal 2026 and fiscal 2025.
•
Net income and income per diluted share for the third quarter of fiscal 2026 were $2,845 and $0.25, respectively, compared with net income and income per diluted share of $1,588 and $0.14, respectively, for the third quarter of fiscal 2025. Adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share for the third quarter of fiscal 2026 were $3,514 and $0.31, respectively, compared with adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share of $1,966 and $0.18, respectively, for the third quarter of fiscal 2025. See "Non-GAAP Measures" below for a reconciliation of adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share to the comparable GAAP amount.
•
Orders booked in the third quarter of fiscal 2026 increased to $71,671 compared with $24,786 in the third quarter of fiscal 2025. As a result, backlog reached a record $515,633 at December 31,2025, compared with $412,335 and $384,701 at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Xdot added $509 to backlog, primarily in the Defense and Space markets. The increase in orders was primarily in the Defense and Space markets, which continue to exhibit strong tail-winds. Energy & Process orders were consistent with prior year levels, as strong demand in New Energy offset weaker Aftermarket orders. Total Aftermarket orders for the third quarter of fiscal 2026 decreased $5,151 to $7,963 from the record levels of the prior year. Note that our orders tend to be lumpy given the nature of our business (i.e. large capital projects) and in particular, orders to the Defense industry, which span multiple years and are larger in size. As of late we are seeing momentum in the small modular nuclear and cryogenics space, however the timing of large capital project orders in our traditional Energy & Process markets has pushed out due to lower gas prices and geopolitical uncertainty. For the third quarter of fiscal 2026, our book-to-bill ratio was 1.3x, above our annual goal of 1.1x. For more information on these key performance indicators see "Orders, Backlog, and Book-to-Bill Ratio" below.
•
Cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2025 were $22,254, compared with $21,577 at March 31, 2025. Cash provided by operating activities for the first nine months of fiscal 2026 of $16,084 was partially offset by net capital expenditures of $13,328 as we continue to invest in process improvement and longer-term growth opportunities. As of December 31, 2025 we had no debt outstanding. For more information see "Liquidity and Capital Resources" below.

FlackTek adds a proven product portfolio with a shared customer base and an installed footprint that extends across the full value chain, from upstream to downstream production and quality control. Its mixing systems are process-critical and market-agnostic, serving defense, energetics, oil & gas, food, battery, aerospace and space, medical, and other industrial applications where precision, repeatability, and consistency drive value. With approximately $30,000 in annualized revenue, FlackTek has built a growing installed base that generates recurring demand for consumables, accessories, and services, enhancing revenue visibility and durability.
FlackTek operates as a wholly owned subsidiary of Graham Corporation, maintaining its headquarters in Louisville, CO with a satellite location in Greenville, SC, and will be integrated into Graham's financial, compliance, and operational infrastructure. Under the terms of the transaction, the Company acquired 100% of the equity of FlackTek for a purchase price of $37,022, which was comprised of cash consideration of $26,456 and 76 shares of Graham's common stock, representing a value of $5,678 at a price of $74.89 per share.
26
The purchase price is subject to certain potential adjustments, including a customary working capital adjustment. The purchase agreement includes the potential to earn an additional $25,000 in future performance-based cash earnouts over four years beginning with fiscal 2027, based upon achieving progressively increasing adjusted EBITDA performance targets each year. At the acquisition date, a liability of $5,638 was recorded for the contingent earn-out.

Key Results
Key results for fiscal 2026 include the following:
•
Net sales for fiscal 2026 were $245,293, up $35,397, or 17% over the prior year, reflecting the strength of our diversified revenue base. This increase was across multiple markets, including a $25,520, or 21%, increase in sales to the Defense market, primarily due to the timing of project milestones, as well as new programs and growth in existing programs. Sales to the Energy & Process market increased $10,056, or 14%, over the prior year driven by continued momentum in New Energy markets, in particular small modular reactors ("SMRs"). Additionally, incremental revenue from the acquisition of FlackTek accounted for $2,767 of the overall net sales increase compared to the prior year and was primarily to the Energy & Process market. Aftermarket sales to the Energy & Process and Defense markets totaled $36,924 for the year, down 12% from the record levels of fiscal 2025.
•
Gross profit and margin for fiscal 2026 were $57,750 and 23.5%, respectively. The 170 basis point decline in gross profit margin compared to fiscal 2025 reflects the mix of sales in fiscal 2026, and in particular, a higher level of Defense sales and material receipts, which carry a lower profit margin. The impact of increased tariffs for fiscal 2026 was approximately an incremental $1,000 compared to fiscal 2025. Additionally, fiscal 2025 gross profit benefited $1,298 due to a grant received from the BlueForge Alliance to reimburse us for the cost of our Defense welder training programs in Batavia and related equipment, which did not repeat in fiscal 2026.
•
Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A"), including intangible amortization, for fiscal 2026 increased $4,466 over fiscal 2025 and reflects the investments we are making in our people, our processes, and our technology. SG&A increased $2,608 over the prior year due to increased staffing and performance-based compensation in connection with our growth and strategic initiatives. Acquisition and integration expenses contributed $1,827 to the increase compared to the prior year primarily due to the acquisitions of Xdot and FlackTek in the current year. Additionally, incremental SG&A from the acquisition of FlackTek accounted for $1,081 of this increase. Decreases in ERP implementation costs of $669 and bad debt expense of $994 partially offset these increases. In connection with the acquisition of BN, we entered into a Performance Bonus Agreement to provide employees of BN with a supplemental bonus based on the achievement of BN performance objectives for fiscal 2024, 2025, and 2026, which can range between $2,000 to $4,000 per year (the "BN Performance Bonus"). During fiscal 2026 and fiscal 2025, we recorded $4,258 related to the BN Performance Bonus, which includes the applicable employer related payroll taxes.
•
Net income and net income per diluted share for fiscal 2026 were $12,500 and $1.12 per share, respectively, compared with $12,230 and $1.11 per share, respectively, for fiscal 2025. Adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share for fiscal 2026 were $15,598 and $1.40 per share, respectively, compared with $13,716 and $1.24 per share, respectively, for fiscal 2025. See "Non-GAAP Measures" below for important information about these measures and a reconciliation of adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share to the comparable GAAP amount.
•
Orders booked in fiscal 2026 were $359,442 compared to $231,112 in fiscal 2025, an increase of $128,330, or 56%. As a result, backlog reached a record $532,637 at March 31, 2026, compared with $412,235 at March 31, 2025. Approximately 85% of our backlog at March 31, 2026 was to the Defense industry, which we believe provides stability and visibility to our business. The increase in orders was primarily in the Defense and Space markets, as programs continue to ramp and those markets continue to exhibit strong tail-winds. Energy & Process orders were down 6% compared with prior year levels, as strong demand in New Energy offset continued delays in large capital projects and slower Aftermarket orders. Total Aftermarket orders for fiscal 2026 were $36,572 compared to $48,462 in fiscal 2025. Incremental orders from FlackTek contributed $3,530 to the overall increase. Note that our orders tend to be lumpy given the nature of our business (i.e. large capital projects) and in particular, orders to the Defense industry, which span multiple years and can be significantly larger in size. As of late we are seeing momentum in the Defense, small modular nuclear and cryogenics markets, however the timing of large capital project orders in our traditional Energy & Process markets has pushed out due to geopolitical uncertainty. For fiscal 2026, our book-to-bill ratio was 1.5x. For additional information on this key performance indicator see "Orders, Backlog and Book-to-Bill Ratio" below.

•
Cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2026 was $6,580, compared with $21,577 at March 31, 2025, a decrease of $14,997. This decrease was primarily due to cash provided by operating activities of $15,933 and cash provided by financing activities of $11,956, which were more than offset by capital expenditures of $16,054 and cash used to acquire Xdot and FlackTek, net of cash acquired, of $27,285. Capital expenditures were made as we continue to invest in process improvement and longer-term growth opportunities. Capital expenditures for fiscal 2026 included costs for the construction of a new 30,000 square foot manufacturing facility to enhance and expand Defense production capabilities at our Batavia, NY campus, construction of a cryogenic propellant testing facility near P3 in FL, expansion of our Radiographic Testing ("RT") facility to enhance and accelerate Defense production at our Batavia, NY facility, and investments in production capacity and capabilities at our Arvada, CO facility, supporting infrastructure to increase throughput and meet accelerating Defense and Space customer schedules.
Current Market Conditions
Defense - Demand for our equipment and systems for the Defense industry is expected to remain strong and continue to expand, based on Defense budget plans, accelerated ship build schedules due to geopolitical tensions, and the projected build schedule of submarines, aircraft carriers and undersea propulsion and power systems that we provide solutions for. In addition to U.S. Navy applications, we also provide specialty pumps, turbines, compressors, and controllers for various fluid and thermal management systems used in Department of War (also known as Department of Defense) radar, laser, electronics, and power systems. We have built a leading position, and in most instances a sole source position, for certain systems and equipment for the Defense industry, which helps protect us from outside competition. We believe that we have become a strategic supplier to the Defense industry through our ability to provide quality products and meet our customers accelerated delivery schedules, which in turn may lead to awards for components on new programs, as well as additional content on the programs we already supply.
Energy & Process - Our traditional Energy markets are undergoing significant transition. While we expect that fossil fuels will continue to be an important component in the global Energy industry for many years to come, there are significant changes in the priorities for capital investments by our customers and the regions in which those investments are being made. We expect that the systemic changes in the Energy markets, which are influenced by the increasing use by consumers of alternative fuels and government policies to stimulate their usage, will lead to demand growth for fossil-based fuels that is less than the global growth rate. Accordingly, as of late we are seeing the timing of large capital project orders in our traditional Energy & Process markets being pushed out due to volatility in gas prices, tariffs, and geopolitical uncertainty, which has caused customers to delay capital investment. Accordingly, we believe that in the near term the quantity of projects available for us to compete for will remain low and that new project pricing will remain challenging. Additionally, we believe that the majority of new capital investment orders in our traditional Energy markets will be outside the U.S., such as India and the Middle-East. Finally, over the last several years we have experienced an increase in our Energy & Process Aftermarket orders primarily from the domestic market as our customers continue to maintain and invest in the facilities they currently operate and we expect that trend to continue for the foreseeable future.
Over the long-term, we expect that population growth, an expanding global middle class, and an increasing desire for improved quality of life and access to consumer products will drive increased demand for industrial goods within the plastics and resins value chain along with fertilizers and related Process markets. As such, we expect investment in new global process capacity will improve and drive growth in demand for our products and services.
The alternative and clean energy opportunities for our heat transfer, power production, and fluid transfer systems are expected to continue to grow. We assist in designing, developing, and producing equipment for hydrogen production, distribution and fueling systems, concentrated solar power and storage, small modular reactors ("SMRs"), bio-energy products, and geothermal power generation. As a result of increased energy demands driven by population growth, crypto-currency mining, and artificial intelligence ("AI") data centers, we have seen an increase in activity and orders related to SMRs which we expect to continue for the foreseeable future. We believe we are positioned to be a significant contributor as these markets continue to develop.
We intend to stay competitive in our traditional Energy & Process markets by investing in technology. One example of this is our NextGen™ steam ejector nozzle, which has been engineered to reduce steam consumption, lower operating costs, and increase system capacity, allowing refineries and process plants to enhance throughput while minimizing their carbon footprint. We estimate that the total market opportunity for our NextGen™ nozzle exceeds $50,000 over the next 5 to 10 years.
Space - Our turbomachinery, pumps, and cryogenic products and market access provide revenue and growth potential in the commercial Space/Aerospace markets. The commercial Space market has grown and evolved rapidly, and we provide full life-cycle support for rocket engine turbopump systems and components to many of the industry leading launch providers for satellites. We expect that over the long-term, extended space exploration will become more prevalent, and we anticipate that our thermal/fluid management and environmental control and life support system turbomachinery will play important roles. We are also participating in future aerospace power and propulsion system development through supply of fluid and thermal management systems components. Small, power dense systems are imperative for these applications, and we believe our technology and expertise will enable us to achieve sales
28
growth in this market. Sales and orders to the Space industry are variable in nature and many of our customers, who are key players in the industry, have yet to achieve profitability and may be unable to continue operations without additional funding. As a result, future revenue and growth in this market can be uncertain due to high dependency on launch provider commercialization, timing, and success.
As illustrated below, we have succeeded over the last several years with our strategy to increase our participation in the Defense market, which comprised 85% of our total backlog at March 31, 2026.

Net sales for fiscal 2026 were $245,293, up $35,397, or 17% over the prior year, reflecting the strength of our diversified revenue base. This increase was across multiple markets, including a $25,520, or 21%, increase in sales to the Defense market, primarily due to the timing of project milestones, as well as new programs and growth in existing programs. Sales to the Energy & Process market increased $10,056, or 14%, over the prior year driven by continued momentum in New Energy markets, in particular SMRs. Additionally, incremental revenue from the acquisition of FlackTek accounted for $2,767 of the overall net sales increase compared to the prior year and was primarily to the Energy & Process market. Aftermarket sales to the Energy & Process and Defense markets totaled $36,924 for the year down 12% from the record levels of fiscal 2025.
Domestic sales as a percentage of aggregate sales were 85% for fiscal 2026 compared to 81% in fiscal 2025. Sales to the Defense industry were 60% for fiscal 2026 compared to 58% for fiscal 2025. Fluctuation in sales among markets, products and geographic locations varies, sometimes significantly, from year to year based on timing and magnitude of projects. See also "Current Market Conditions," above. For additional information on anticipated future sales and our markets, see "Orders, Backlog and Book-to-Bill Ratio" below.
Gross profit and margin for fiscal 2026 were $57,750 and 23.5%, respectively. The 170 basis point decline in gross profit margin compared to fiscal 2025 reflects the mix of sales in fiscal 2026, and in particular, a higher level of Defense sales and material receipts, which carry a lower profit margin. The impact of increased tariffs for fiscal 2026 was approximately an incremental $1,000 compared to fiscal 2025. Additionally, fiscal 2025 gross profit benefited $1,298 due to a grant received from the BlueForge Alliance to reimburse us for the cost of our Defense welder training programs in Batavia and related equipment, which did not repeat in fiscal 2026.

SG&A, including intangible amortization, for fiscal 2026 increased $4,466 over fiscal 2025 and reflects the investments we are making in our people, our processes, and our technology. SG&A increased $2,608 over the prior year due to increased staffing and performance-based compensation in connection with our growth and strategic initiatives. Acquisition and integration expenses contributed $1,827 to the increase compared to the prior year primarily due to the acquisitions of Xdot and FlackTek in the current year. Additionally, incremental SG&A from the acquisition of FlackTek accounted for $1,081 of this increase. Decreases in ERP implementation costs of $669 and bad debt expense of $994 partially offset these increases. In connection with the acquisition of BN, we entered into a Performance Bonus Agreement to provide employees of BN with a supplemental bonus based on the achievement of BN performance objectives for fiscal 2024, 2025, and 2026, which can range between $2,000 to $4,000 per year. During fiscal 2026 and fiscal 2025, we recorded $4,258 related to the BN Performance Bonus, which includes the applicable employer related payroll taxes.

Other operating (income) expense, net primarily represents the change in fair value of contingent earn-out liabilities related to acquisitions and was income of $621 in fiscal 2026 compared to income of $1,215 in fiscal 2025. The change in fair value was primarily due to delayed orders/projects that extended beyond the earnout period.
Net interest (income) expense for fiscal 2026 was income of $257 compared to income of $583 in fiscal 2025. This decrease in net interest income was due to increased interest expense in fiscal 2026 from debt borrowings for our acquisition of FlackTek.
On July 4, 2025, President Trump signed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act ("OBBB"), enacting a broad range of tax reform provisions, including extending and modifying certain domestic and international Tax Cut & Jobs Act provisions and expanding certain Inflation Reduction Act incentives while accelerating the phase-out of others. Only certain provisions had current-year financial reporting implications due to varying effective dates and discretionary elections. The enactment of the OBBB in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 resulted in an increase to our expected effective tax rate for fiscal 2026 of approximately 200 basis points but is expected to result in approximately $8,000 in cash tax savings over the next two years due to the bonus depreciation provisions of the OBBB and changes to the research and development Section 174 rules. These cash tax savings are expected to more than offset the impact of the effective tax rate increase.
Our effective tax rate for fiscal 2026 was 15% compared with 21% for fiscal 2025. This decrease was primarily due to higher research and development tax credits and higher discrete tax benefits related to the vesting of restricted stock units and awards compared to fiscal 2025, partially offset by the impact of the enactment of the OBBB discussed above. Our effective tax rate for fiscal 2027 is expected to be approximately 18% to 20%.
The net result of the above is that net income and net income per diluted share for fiscal 2026 were $12,500 and $1.12 per share, respectively, compared with $12,230 and $1.11 per share, respectively, for fiscal 2025. Adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share for fiscal 2026 were $15,598 and $1.40 per share, respectively, compared with $13,716 and $1.24 per share, respectively, for fiscal 2025. See "Non-GAAP Measures" below for important information about these measures and a reconciliation of adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share to the comparable GAAP amount.
Non-GAAP Measures
Adjusted net income before interest (income) expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"), adjusted net income, and adjusted net income per diluted share are provided for informational purposes only and are not measures of financial performance under the U.S.'s generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP").
Management believes the presentation of these financial measures reflecting non-GAAP adjustments provides important supplemental information to investors and other users of our financial statements in evaluating the operating results of the Company. In particular, we exclude those charges and credits that are not directly related to our operating performance, and are not reflective of our underlying business particularly in light of their unpredictable nature. These non-GAAP disclosures have limitations as analytical tools, should not be viewed as a substitute for net income or net income per diluted share determined in accordance with GAAP, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies. In addition, supplemental presentation should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by similar adjustments to net income or net income per diluted share determined in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share are key metrics used by management and our board of directors to assess the Company’s financial and operating performance and adjusted EBITDA is a basis for a significant portion of management's performance-based compensation.
Adjusted EBITDA excludes charges for depreciation, amortization, interest (income) expense, income taxes, acquisition related (income) expenses, equity-based compensation, ERP implementation costs, and other unusual/nonrecurring expenses. Adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share exclude intangible amortization, acquisition related (income) expenses, other unusual/nonrecurring expenses and the related tax impacts of those adjustments.

Acquisition & integration expense (income) are incremental costs that are directly related to, and as a result of, acquisition related activity or the subsequent accounting for the contingent earn-out liabilities. These costs (income) may include, among other things, professional, consulting and other fees, system integration costs, and contingent consideration fair value adjustments. ERP implementation costs relate primarily to consulting costs (training, data conversion, and project management) incurred in connection with the ERP system being implemented at our Batavia, New York facility in order to enhance efficiency and productivity and are not expected to recur once the project is completed.

Net cash provided by operating activities for fiscal 2026 was $15,933 compared with $24,316 for fiscal 2025. This decrease was primarily due to the timing of billing and collection of unbilled revenue, partially offset by higher cash net income in fiscal 2026, which increased 11% over the prior year. Note that cash flow from operations for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 were negatively impacted by approximately $4,000 related to transaction bonuses assumed in the FlackTek acquisition that were awarded by the previous owners of FlackTek but paid by the Company and was a reduction to the cash purchase price paid.
Net capital expenditures for fiscal 2026 were $15,780 compared to $18,957 in fiscal 2025. Capital expenditures for fiscal 2026 were primarily for machinery and equipment, as well as for buildings and leasehold improvements to support our growth and productivity improvement initiatives and were primarily related to the following:
•
Construction of a new 30,000 square foot manufacturing facility to enhance and expand Defense production capabilities at our Batavia, NY facility, which is primarily being funded by a $13,500 strategic grant from one of our Defense customers. Construction of this facility was completed in June 2025.
•
Construction of a cryogenic propellant (LH2, LOX, LCH4) testing facility near P3 in FL to support our customers and enhance our capabilities. Construction was completed in February 2026.
•
Installation of advanced RT equipment to enhance and accelerate Defense production at our Batavia, NY facility, which is primarily being funded by a $2,200 strategic grant from one of our Defense customers. We intend to contribute an additional $1,400 towards this project for a total project cost of $3,600. This expansion was completed in the first quarter of fiscal 2027.
•
Investments in production capacity and capabilities at our Arvada, CO facility, including the addition of new CNC machining centers, a liquid nitrogen test stand, and supporting infrastructure to increase throughput and meet accelerating Space customer schedules.
Capital expenditures for fiscal 2027 are expected to be between $18,000 and $22,000 and are primarily discretionary. We estimate that our maintenance capital spend is approximately $2,500 per year. However, for the next several years we expect capital expenditures to be approximately 7% to 10% of sales each year as we continue to invest in our business in order to support our long-term organic growth goals.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $11,956 in fiscal 2026 compared with net cash used in financing activities of $521 in fiscal 2025, due to net borrowings on our revolving credit facility to partially fund the FlackTek acquisition.
At March 31, 2026, approximately $830 of our $6,580 cash and cash equivalents was used to secure our letters of credit and $3,934 of our cash was held by our subsidiaries in China and India.
On October 13, 2023, we entered into a five-year revolving credit facility with Wells Fargo that provided a $50,000 line of credit (the "Revolving Credit Facility"). Simultaneous with the close of the FlackTek transaction on January 23, 2026, we amended our Revolving Credit Facility to increase the limit to $80,000, modify the definition of Consolidated Funded Indebtedness to limit the amount of contingent earn-out liability included to the amount expected to be paid in the next twelve months, as well as permit the incurrence or existence of indebtedness of Graham India Private Limited ("GIPL") arising from any letters of credit, bank guarantees or other similar obligations in a principal amount not to exceed $5,000 and certain other administrative amendments. As of March 31, 2026, there was $13,000 in borrowings and $6,111 letters of credit outstanding on the Revolving Credit Facility and the amount available to borrow was $60,889, subject to interest and leverage covenants.
The Revolving Credit Facility contains customary terms and conditions, including representations and warranties and affirmative and negative covenants, as well as financial covenants for the benefit of Wells Fargo, which require us to maintain (i) a consolidated total leverage ratio not to exceed 3.50:1.00 and (ii) a consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.20:1.00, in both cases computed in accordance with the definitions and requirements specified in the Revolving Credit Facility. As of March 31, 2026, we were in compliance with the financial covenants of the Revolving Credit Facility and our leverage ratio as calculated in accordance with the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility was 0.8x.
The Revolving Credit Facility contains terms that may, under certain circumstances defined in the agreement, restrict our ability to declare or pay dividends. Any determination by our Board of Directors regarding dividends in the future will depend on a variety of factors, including our future financial performance, organic and inorganic growth opportunities, general economic conditions and financial, competitive, regulatory, and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. We did not pay any dividends during fiscal 2026 or fiscal 2025 and currently have no intention to pay dividends for the foreseeable future. There can be no guarantee that we will pay dividends in the future.
We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of March 31, 2026 other than letters of credit incurred in the ordinary course of business.

We believe that cash generated from operations, combined with the liquidity provided by available financing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility, will be adequate to meet our cash needs for the immediate future.
On April 14, 2026, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with certain accounts advised by T. Rowe Price Investment Management, Inc. pursuant to which we agreed to sell an aggregate of 600 shares of common stock, par value of $0.10 per share for $83.36 per share, based upon the 20-day average closing price of the Company's common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on April 13, 2026, for an aggregate gross proceeds of $50,000. We utilized $13,000 of the proceeds for debt repayment and are expected to utilize the remaining proceeds to help fund future investment in organic and inorganic growth opportunities.

Orders, Backlog and Book-to-Bill Ratio
In addition to the non-GAAP measures discussed above, management uses the following key performance metrics to analyze and measure the Company’s financial performance and results of operations: orders, backlog, and book-to-bill ratio. Management uses orders and backlog as measures of current and future business and financial performance and these may not be comparable with measures provided by other companies. Orders represent definitive agreements with customers to provide products and/or services. Backlog is defined as the total dollar value of orders received for which revenue has not yet been recognized. Total backlog can include both funded and unfunded orders under government contracts. Management believes tracking orders and backlog are useful as it often times is a leading indicator of future performance. In accordance with industry practice, contracts may include provisions for cancellation, termination, or suspension at the discretion of the customer.
The book-to-bill ratio is an operational measure that management uses to track the growth prospects of the Company. The Company calculates the book-to-bill ratio for a given period as net orders divided by net sales. Over the long-term, our goal is to have a book-to-bill ratio of 1.1x, which can vary significantly from quarter to quarter given the nature of our business. Since fiscal 2020, our annual book-to-bill ratio has ranged from 0.9x to 1.5x.
Given that each of orders, backlog and book-to-bill ratio is an operational measure and that the Company's methodology for calculating orders, backlog and book-to-bill ratio does not meet the definition of a non-GAAP measure, as that term is defined by the SEC, a quantitative reconciliation for each is not required or provided.

Orders booked in fiscal 2026 were $359,442, an increase of 56% over fiscal 2025, which equated to a book-to-bill ratio of 1.5x. The acquisition of FlackTek added orders of $3,530. Orders in fiscal 2026 included $101,500 of orders to support the U.S. Navy's Virginia Class Submarine program, $75,000 of follow-on orders to support the U.S. Navy's Columbia Class Submarine program, and $25,500 of follow-on orders to provide mission-critical hardware for the MK48 Mod 7 Heavyweight Torpedo, which we believe supports our position as a trusted supplier to the U.S. Navy and allied defense programs. Additionally, fiscal 2026 orders included $35,316 of orders to leading Space/Aerospace customers in the commercial space launch market as certain programs begin to ramp production.

Aftermarket orders to the Energy & Process and Defense markets remained strong at $36,572 but down from the record levels of fiscal 2025 of $48,462.
Orders to the U.S. represented 96% of total orders for fiscal 2026 compared to 82% for the prior year. These orders were primarily to the Defense market, which are U.S. based, and tend to be lumpy given their large size and are long-term in nature.

Backlog was a record $532,637 at March 31, 2026, an increase of 29% compared with $412,335 at March 31, 2025. The acquisition of FlackTek contributed $6,100 of this increase. We expect to recognize revenue on approximately 35% to 40% of the backlog within one year, 20% to 25% in one to two years and the remaining beyond two years. The majority of the orders that are expected to convert beyond twenty-four months are for the Defense industry, specifically the U.S. Navy that have a long conversion cycle (up to six years).
Outlook
We are providing the following fiscal 2027 outlook ($ in thousands):
Fiscal 2027
Net Sales
$285,000 to $295,000
Gross Profit
24.5% - 25.5% of sales
SG&A Expenses (Including Amortization)(1)(2)
16.5% - 17.5% of sales
Tax Rate
18% to 20%
Adjusted EBITDA(2)(3)
$35,000 to $40,000
Capital Expenditures
$18,000 to $22,000
(1) Includes approximately $4,000 to $5,000 of equity-based compensation, net acquisition & integration costs, and ERP conversion costs included in SG&A expense.
(2) Includes approximately $2,500 of incremental costs to invest in people, processes, and technology to enable future growth and accelerate the commercialization of Graham products and technologies.
(3) Excludes net interest (income) expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization from net income, as well as approximately $4,000 to $5,000 of equity-based compensation, net acquisition & integration costs, and ERP conversion costs.
See "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" and "Non-GAAP Measures" above for additional information about forward-looking statements and non-GAAP measures. We have not reconciled non-GAAP forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA to its most directly comparable GAAP measure, as permitted by Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K. Such reconciliation would require unreasonable efforts to estimate and quantify various necessary GAAP components largely because forecasting or predicting our future operating results is subject to many factors out of our control or not readily predictable.
Our expectations for sales and profitability assume that we will be able to operate our production facilities at planned capacity, have access to our global supply chain including our subcontractors, do not experience any global disruptions, and experience no impact from any other unforeseen events.
Contingencies and Commitments
We have been named as a defendant in lawsuits alleging personal injury from exposure to asbestos allegedly contained in or accompanying our products or from exposure to asbestos at the Company's facilities. We are a co-defendant with numerous other defendants in these lawsuits and intend to vigorously defend ourselves against these claims. The claims in our current lawsuits are similar to those made in previous asbestos lawsuits that named us as a defendant. Such previous lawsuits either were dismissed when it was shown that we had not supplied products to the plaintiffs’ places of work, or were settled by us for immaterial amounts. We believe that the resolution of these asbestos-related lawsuits will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of
35
operations. However, legal matters are subject to inherent uncertainties and there exists the possibility that the ultimate resolution of these asbestos-related lawsuits could have a material adverse impact on our financial position and results of operations.
During the third quarter of fiscal 2024, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, with the assistance of external counsel and forensic professionals, concluded an investigation into a whistleblower complaint received regarding GIPL. The investigation identified evidence supporting the complaint and other misconduct by employees. The other misconduct was over a period of four years, was not deemed to be material, and was isolated to a few employees. All involved employees have been terminated or are no longer with the Company and we have implemented remedial actions, including strengthening our compliance program and internal controls. As a result of the investigation, during the third quarter of fiscal 2024, the statutory auditor and bookkeeper of GIPL tendered their resignations and new firms were appointed. We have voluntarily reported the findings of our investigation to the appropriate authorities in India, the U.S. Department of Justice, and the SEC and will continue to cooperate with those authorities. Although the resolutions of these matters are inherently uncertain, we do not believe any remaining impact will be material to our overall consolidated results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.
As of March 31, 2026, we are subject to the claims noted above, as well as other legal proceedings and potential claims that have arisen in the ordinary course of business. Although the outcome of the lawsuits, legal proceedings or potential claims to which we are or may become a party cannot be determined and an estimate of the reasonably possible loss or range of loss cannot be made for the majority of the claims, we do not believe that the outcomes, either individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows. See Note 17 to our consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of Part II of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information.
Critical Accounting Policies
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon the consolidated financial statements and the notes to consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of Part II of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Critical accounting policies are defined as those that reflect significant judgments and uncertainties and could potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions.
Revenue Recognition. The Company accounts for revenue in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification 606, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" ("ASC 606").
We recognize revenue on all contracts when control of the product is transferred to the customer. Control is generally transferred when products are shipped, title is transferred, significant risks of ownership have transferred, we have rights to payment, and rewards of ownership pass to the customer. Customer acceptance may also be a factor in determining whether control of the product has transferred. Although revenue on the majority of our contracts, as measured by number of contracts, is recognized upon shipment to the customer, revenue on larger contracts, which are fewer in number but generally represent the majority of revenue, is recognized over time as these contracts meet specific criteria in ASC 606. Revenue from contracts that is recognized upon shipment accounted for approximately 18% of revenue in fiscal 2026. Revenue from contracts that is recognized over time accounted for approximately 82% of revenue in fiscal 2026. We recognize revenue over time when contract performance results in the creation of a product for which we do not have an alternative use and the contract includes an enforceable right to payment in an amount that corresponds directly with the value of the performance completed. To measure progress towards completion on performance obligations for which revenue is recognized over time the Company utilizes an input method based upon a ratio of direct labor hours incurred to date to management’s estimate of the total labor hours to be incurred on each contract, or cost incurred to date to management's estimate of the total cost to be incurred on each contract, or an output method based upon completion of operational milestones, depending upon the nature of the contract.
Business Combinations. Assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination are recorded at their estimated fair values at the acquisition date. The fair value of identifiable intangible assets is based upon detailed valuations that use various assumptions made by management. Goodwill is recorded when the purchase price exceeds the estimated fair value of the net identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets. Definite lived intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives and are assessed for impairment if certain indicators are present. Goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives are not amortized but are subject to impairment testing annually or earlier if an event or change in circumstances indicates that the fair value of a reporting unit or the indefinite lived asset may have been reduced below its carrying value. We make assumptions in establishing the carrying value, fair value, and, if applicable, the estimated lives of our goodwill and intangible assets.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments
We have evaluated the accounting policies used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements and the notes to consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of Part II of this Annual Report on Form 10-K and believe those policies to be reasonable and appropriate.
We believe that the most critical accounting estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements relate to labor hour estimates, total cost, and establishment of operational milestones which are used to recognize revenue over time, accounting for contingencies, under which we accrue a loss when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated, and accounting for business combinations and intangible assets.
As discussed above under the heading "Critical Accounting Policies", we recognize a majority of our revenue using an over-time recognition method. The key estimate for the over-time recognition model is total labor, total cost and operational milestones to be incurred on each contract and to the extent that these estimates change, it may significantly impact revenue recognized in each period.
Contingencies, by their nature, relate to uncertainties that require us to exercise judgment both in assessing the likelihood that a liability has been incurred as well as in estimating the amount of potential loss. For more information on these matters, see the notes to consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of Part II of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
As discussed above under the heading "Critical Accounting Policies", we allocate the purchase price of an acquired company, including when applicable, the acquisition date fair value of contingent consideration, between tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed from the acquired business based on their estimated fair values, with the residual of the purchase price recorded as goodwill. Third party appraisal firms and other consultants are engaged to assist management in determining the fair values of certain assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Estimating fair values requires significant judgments, estimates and assumptions, including but not limited to discount rates, future cash flows and the economic lives of trade names, technology, customer relationships, and property, plant and equipment. These estimates are based on historical experience and information obtained from the management of the acquired company and are inherently uncertain.
During fiscal 2026, we completed the acquisitions of Xdot and FlackTek for an aggregate preliminary purchase price of $37,922, subject to certain potential adjustments, including customary working capital adjustments. We identified and assigned value to identifiable intangible assets of customer relationships, technology and technical know-how and trade name, and estimated the useful lives over which these intangible assets would be amortized. The estimates of fair values of these identifiable intangible assets were based upon the Multi Period Excess Earnings method, which incorporates assumptions regarding retention rate, new customer growth and customer related costs, as well as a Relief from Royalty method, which develops a market based royalty rate used to reflect the after tax royalty savings attributable to owning the intangible asset. The fair value estimates resulted in identifiable intangible assets, in the aggregate, of $24,050. The resulting goodwill, in the aggregate, from these acquisitions was $12,558. For more information on these matters, see the notes to consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of Part II of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
As part of our ongoing financial reporting process, a collaborative effort is undertaken involving our managers with functional responsibilities for financial, credit, tax, engineering, manufacturing and benefit matters, and outside advisors such as lawyers, and consultants. We believe that the results of this effort provide management with the necessary information on which to base their judgments and to develop the estimates and assumptions used to prepare the financial statements.
We believe that the amounts recorded in the consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of Part II of this Annual Report on Form 10-K related to revenue, contingencies, business combinations and intangible assets, and other matters requiring the use of estimates and judgments are reasonable, although actual outcomes could differ materially from our estimates.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In the normal course of business, management evaluates all new Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) and other accounting pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), SEC, or other authoritative accounting bodies to determine the potential impact they may have on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. Other than those discussed in the Consolidated Financial Statements, management does not expect any of the recently issued accounting pronouncements, which have not already been adopted, to have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. For discussion of the newly issued accounting pronouncements see ''Accounting and reporting changes'' in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of Part II of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information.
