NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Hurco Companies, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. As used in this report, the words “we”, “us”, “our”, “Hurco” and the “Company” refer to Hurco Companies, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.
We design, manufacture, and sell computerized (i.e., Computer Numeric Control (“CNC”)) machine tools, consisting primarily of vertical machining centers (mills) and turning centers (lathes), to companies in the metal cutting industry through a worldwide sales, service, and distribution network. Although most of our computer control systems and software products are proprietary, they predominantly use industry standard personal computer components. Our computer control systems and software products are primarily sold as integral components of our computerized machine tool products. We also provide machine tool components, automation integration equipment and solutions for job shops, software options, control upgrades, accessories and replacement parts for our products, as well as customer service, training, and applications support.
The condensed consolidated financial information as of January 31, 2026, and for the three months ended January 31, 2026, and January 31, 2025, is unaudited. However, in our opinion, the interim data includes all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly our consolidated financial position, results of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for and at the end of the interim periods. We suggest that you read these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2025.
2. REVENUE RECOGNITION
We design, manufacture, and sell computerized machine tools. Our computer control systems and software products are primarily sold as integral components of our computerized machine tool products. We also provide machine tool components, automation integration equipment and solutions for job shops, software options, control upgrades, accessories, and replacement parts for our products, as well as customer service, training, and applications support.
We recognize revenues from the sale of machine tools, components and accessories and services, and reflect the consideration to which we expect to be entitled. We record revenues based on a five-step model in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) guidance codified in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC 606”). In accordance with ASC 606, we have defined contracts as agreements with our customers and distributors in the form of purchase orders, packing or shipping documents, invoices, and, periodically, verbal requests for components and accessories. For each contract, we identify our performance obligations, which are delivering goods or services, determine the transaction price, allocate the contract transaction price to each of the performance obligations (when applicable), and recognize the revenue when (or as) the performance obligation to the customer is fulfilled. A good or service is transferred when the customer obtains control of that good or service. Our computerized machine tools are general purpose computer-controlled machine tools that are typically used in stand–alone operations. Prior to shipment, we test each machine to ensure the machine’s compliance with standard operating specifications. We deem that the customer obtains control upon delivery of the product and that obtaining control is not contingent upon contractual customer acceptance. Therefore, we recognize revenue from sales of our machine tool systems upon delivery of the product to the customer or distributor, which is normally at the time of shipment.
Depending upon geographic location, after shipment, a machine may be installed at the customer’s facility by a distributor, independent contractor, or by one of our service technicians. In most instances where a machine is sold through a distributor, we have no installation involvement. If sales are direct or through sales agents, we will typically complete the machine installation, which consists of the reassembly of certain parts that were removed for shipping and the re-testing of the machine to ensure that it is performing within the standard specifications. We consider the machine installation process for our 3-axis machines to be inconsequential and immaterial within the context of the contract. For our 5-axis machines that we install, we estimate the fair value of the installation performance obligation and recognize that installation revenue on a prorata basis over the period of the installation process.
8
From time to time, and depending upon geographic location, we may provide training or freight services. We consider these services to be immaterial within the context of the contract, as the value of these services typically does not rise to a material level as a component of the total contract value. Service fees from maintenance contracts are deferred and recognized in earnings on a prorata basis over the term of the contract and are generally sold on a stand-alone basis. Customer discounts and estimated product returns are recorded as a reduction of revenue in the same period that the related sales are recorded. We have reviewed the overall sales transactions for variable consideration and have determined that these amounts are not material.
3. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
We are exposed to certain market risks relating to our ongoing business operations, including foreign currency risk, interest rate risk and credit risk. We manage our exposure to these and other market risks through regular operating and financing activities. Currently, the only risk that we manage through the use of derivative instruments is foreign currency risk, for which we enter into derivative instruments in the form of foreign currency forward exchange contracts with a major financial institution.
We enter into these forward exchange contracts to reduce the potential effects of foreign exchange rate movements on our net equity investment in one of our foreign subsidiaries, to reduce the impact on gross profit and net earnings from sales and purchases denominated in foreign currencies, and to reduce the impact on our net earnings of foreign currency fluctuations on receivables and payables denominated in foreign currencies that are different than the subsidiaries’ functional currency. We are primarily exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk with respect to transactions and net assets denominated in Euros, Pounds Sterling, Indian Rupee, Singapore Dollars, Chinese Yuan, Polish Zloty, and New Taiwan Dollars. We record all derivative instruments as assets or liabilities at fair value.
Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments
We enter into foreign currency forward exchange contracts periodically to hedge certain forecasted inter-company sales and purchases denominated in the following foreign currencies: the Pound Sterling, Euro and New Taiwan Dollar. The purpose of these instruments is to mitigate the risk that the U.S. dollar net cash inflows and outflows resulting from sales and purchases denominated in foreign currencies will be adversely affected by changes in exchange rates. These forward contracts have been designated as cash flow hedge instruments and are recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value in Derivative assets and Derivative liabilities. The effective portion of the gains and losses resulting from the changes in the fair value of these hedge contracts is deferred in Accumulated other comprehensive loss and recognized as an adjustment to Cost of sales and service in the period that the corresponding inventory sold that is the subject of the related hedge contract is recognized, thereby providing an offsetting economic impact against the corresponding change in the U.S. dollar value of the inter-company sale or purchase being hedged. The ineffective portion of gains and losses resulting from the changes in the fair value of these hedge contracts is immediately reported in Other income (expense), net. We perform quarterly assessments of hedge effectiveness by verifying and documenting the critical terms of the hedge instrument and determining that forecasted transactions have not changed significantly. We also assess on a quarterly basis whether there have been adverse developments regarding the risk of a counterparty default.
We had forward contracts outstanding as of January 31, 2026, denominated in Euros, Pounds Sterling, and New Taiwan Dollars with set maturity dates ranging from
We are also exposed to foreign currency exchange risk related to our investment in net assets in foreign countries. To manage this risk, we entered into a forward contract with a notional amount of €
9
Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments
We also enter into foreign currency forward exchange contracts to protect against the effects of foreign currency fluctuations on inter-company receivables, payables and loans denominated in foreign currencies. These derivative instruments are not designated as hedges under FASB guidance and, as a result, changes in their fair value are reported currently in Other income (expense), net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations consistent with the transaction gain or loss on the related receivables and payables denominated in foreign currencies.
We had forward contracts outstanding as of January 31, 2026, denominated in Euros, Pounds Sterling, and New Taiwan Dollars with set maturity dates ranging from

4. EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN
In March 2016, we adopted the Hurco Companies, Inc. 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (as amended, the “2016 Equity Plan”), which allows us to grant awards of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, stock units and other stock-based awards. The 2016 Equity Plan replaced the Hurco Companies, Inc. 2008 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2008 Equity Plan”) and is the only active plan under which equity awards may be made by us to our employees and non-employee directors.
The Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors has the authority to determine the officers, directors, and key employees who will be granted awards under the 2016 Equity Plan; designate the number of shares subject to each award; determine the terms and conditions upon which awards will be granted; and prescribe the form and terms of award agreements. We have granted restricted shares and performance stock units under the 2016 Equity Plan that are currently outstanding. The market value of a share of our common stock, for purposes of the 2016 Equity Plan, is the closing sale price as reported by the Nasdaq Global Select Market on the date in question or, if not a trading day, on the last preceding trading date.
On January 6, 2026, the Compensation Committee approved a long-term incentive compensation arrangement for our executive officers in the form of time-based restricted shares and performance stock units (“PSUs”), which will be payable in shares of our common stock if earned and vested. The awards were approximately

9. SEGMENT INFORMATION
We are organized and managed as a operating and segment: industrial automation equipment. We design, manufacture, and sell computerized (i.e., Computer Numeric Control) machine tools, consisting primarily of vertical machining centers (mills) and turning centers (lathes), to companies in the metal cutting industry through a worldwide sales, service, and distribution network. Although most of our computer control systems and software products are proprietary, they predominantly use industry standard personal computer components. Our computer control systems and software products are primarily sold as integral components of our computerized machine tool products. We also provide machine tool components, automation integration equipment and solutions for job shops, software options, control upgrades, accessories, and replacement parts for our products, as well as customer service, training, and applications support.
Our chief operating decision maker ("CODM") is the President and Chief Executive Officer, who reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis. The CODM uses consolidated sales and service fees, gross profit, operating (loss) income and net (loss) income, as shown on the Consolidated Statements of Operations, to assess financial performance and allocate resources. The consolidated financial metrics are used by the CODM to make key operating decisions, such as the allocation of capital between reinvestment in the business, the payment of dividends, and acquisitions. While the CODM receives some additional detailed financial information related to operating expenses, consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses is the significant expense he uses to manage operations. The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheet as total consolidated assets.

As of the date of this report, the most recently completed measurement period was our first fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2026, during which our consolidated EBITDA was negative. In order to borrow in compliance with the maximum consolidated leverage ratio covenant set forth above, we are effectively prohibited from borrowing under the 2026 Credit Agreement until we have positive consolidated EBITDA for our most recently completed four fiscal quarters.
As of January 31, 2026, our credit facilities consisted of a €
12. INCOME TAXES
Our provision for income taxes and effective tax rate is affected by the geographic composition of pre-tax income which includes jurisdictions with differing tax rates, conditional reduced tax rates, and other events that are not consistent from period to period, such as changes in income tax laws.
16
We recorded income tax expense during the first three months of fiscal year 2026 of $
The Budget Reconciliation Act (H.R. 1) (“OBBB”) was signed into law on July 4, 2025. The OBBB did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures as of and for the three months ended January 31, 2026. While further evaluation is ongoing, the OBBB is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in future years.
We file U.S. federal and state income tax returns, as well as tax returns in several foreign jurisdictions. Currently our manufacturing subsidiary in Italy is under tax inspection for fiscal year October 31, 2021.
13. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
FASB fair value guidance establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which categorizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs, such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exist, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.
The carrying amounts for cash and cash equivalents approximate their fair values due to the short maturity of these instruments, and such instruments meet the Level 1 criteria of the three–tier fair value hierarchy discussed above. The carrying amount of short-term debt approximates fair value due to the variable rate of the interest and the short-term nature of the instrument.
In accordance with this guidance, the following table represents the fair value hierarchy for our financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value as of January 31, 2026, and October 31, 2025 (in thousands):
| | Assets | | Liabilities | ||||||||
| | January 31, 2026 | | October 31, 2025 | | January 31, 2026 | | October 31, 2025 | ||||

Included in Level 1 assets are mutual fund investments under a nonqualified deferred compensation plan. We estimate the fair value of these investments on a recurring basis using market prices that are readily available.
Included in Level 2 fair value measurements are derivative assets and liabilities related to gains and losses on foreign currency forward exchange contracts entered into with a third party. We estimate the fair value of these derivatives on a recurring basis using foreign currency exchange rates obtained from active markets. Derivative instruments are reported in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements at fair value. We have derivative financial instruments in the form of foreign currency forward exchange contracts as described in Note 3 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The U.S. dollar equivalent notional amounts of these contracts were $
The fair value of our foreign currency forward exchange contracts and the related currency positions are subject to offsetting market risk resulting from foreign currency exchange rate volatility. The counterparties to the forward exchange contracts are substantial and creditworthy financial institutions. We do not consider either the risk of counterparties’ non-performance or the economic consequences of counterparties’ non-performance to be material risks.
17
14. CONTINGENCIES AND LITIGATION
From time to time, we are involved in various claims and lawsuits arising in the normal course of business. Pursuant to applicable accounting rules, we accrue the minimum liability for each known claim when the estimated outcome is a range of possible loss and no one amount within that range is more likely than another. We maintain insurance policies for such matters, and we record insurance recoveries when we determine such recovery to be probable. We do not expect any of these claims, individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations. We believe that the ultimate resolution of claims for any losses will not exceed our insurance policy coverages.
15. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which is intended to enhance the transparency and usefulness of income tax disclosures by providing incremental and disaggregated income tax disclosures pertaining to the effective tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid by jurisdiction. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The standard allows for prospective or retrospective application upon adoption. We are currently assessing the impact this new accounting guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40), which requires companies to disclose disaggregated information about any relevant expense caption presented on the face of the income statement within continuing operations into the following required natural expense categories, as applicable: (1) purchases of inventory, (2) employee compensation, (3) depreciation, (4) intangible asset amortization, and (5) depreciation, depletion, and amortization recognized as part of oil- and gas-producing activities or other depletion expenses. This update will be effective for our fiscal year 2028 annual reporting. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently assessing the impact this new accounting guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-09, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Hedge Accounting Improvements, which enables entities to apply hedge accounting to a greater number of highly effective economic hedges in the following five areas: (1) similar risk assessment for cash flow hedges, (2) hedging forecasted interest payments on choose-your-rate debt instruments, (3) cash flow hedges of nonfinancial forecasted transactions, (4) net written options as hedging instruments, and (5) foreign-currency-denominated debt instrument as hedging instrument and hedged item (dual hedge). This ASU is effective for fiscal year 2028. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently assessing the impact this new accounting guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) contains information intended to help provide an understanding of our financial condition and other related matters, including our liquidity, capital resources, and results of operations. The MD&A is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, our unaudited financial statements and the notes accompanying our unaudited financial statements appearing elsewhere in this report, as well as our audited financial statements, the accompanying notes and the MD&A included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2025.
EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW
Hurco Companies, Inc. is an international, industrial technology company operating in a single segment. We design, manufacture, and sell computerized (i.e., CNC) machine tools, consisting primarily of vertical machining centers (mills) and turning centers (lathes), to companies in the metal cutting industry through a worldwide sales, service, and distribution network. Although most of our computer control systems and software products are proprietary, they predominantly use industry standard personal computer components. Our computer control systems and software products are primarily sold as integral components of our computerized machine tool products. We also provide machine tool components, automation integration equipment and solutions for job shops, software options, control upgrades, accessories, and replacement parts for our products, as well as customer service and training and applications support.
The following overview is intended to provide a brief explanation of the principal factors that have contributed to our recent financial performance. This overview is intended to be read in conjunction with the more detailed information included in our financial statements and notes thereto, that appear elsewhere in this report.
The market for machine tools is international in scope. We have both significant foreign sales and significant foreign manufacturing operations. During the first three months of fiscal 2026, approximately 48% of our revenues were attributable to customers in Europe, where we typically sell more of our higher-performance, higher-priced VMX series machines. Additionally, approximately 13% of our revenues were attributable to customers in the Asia Pacific region, where we encounter greater pricing pressures. We operate in a cyclical industry where sales and order trends often change periodically and can vary from region to region. During a time of global uncertainty and lower sales volumes experienced recently, we have turned our attention to adjusting overhead expenses and operating expenses to help minimize the impact of the lower volumes of sales on operating income. We implemented cost reductions in fiscal years 2024 and 2025, adjusted and managed inventories (excluding the impact of foreign currency), and suspended our regular quarterly cash dividend. We used that cashflow to manage our capital allocation strategies to continue investing in new technologies, product development, and necessary capital expenditures to maximize cashflows without incurring any significant indebtedness as we continue to seek new acquisitions and other growth opportunities. The cyclicality of our business requires that we exercise discipline in managing through unexpected changes in the markets and industries in which we operate. We believe that our long history of profitability and the strength of our balance sheet can provide us with stability to manage through these business cycles, and we rely on our past experience in making measured decisions for the long-term success of our business.
Sales and service fees in the first three months of fiscal 2026 decreased by 8%, compared to the same period in fiscal 2025. The decrease in sales was due primarily to decreased shipments of Milltronics vertical milling and toolroom machines in the Americas and Hurco machines in the United Kingdom, Germany, China and India, as well as a decreased volume of shipments of electro-mechanical components and accessories manufactured by LCM. Orders in the first three months of fiscal 2026 increased by 5%, compared to the same period in fiscal 2025, reflecting an increase in customer demand for Hurco and Takumi machines in the Americas and India, partially offset by decreased customer demand for Hurco and Takumi machines in Europe and Hurco machines in China.
19
We have three CNC machine tool brands in our product portfolio. Hurco is the technology innovation brand for customers who want to increase productivity and profitability by selecting a brand with the latest software and motion technology. Milltronics is the value-based brand for shops that want easy-to-use machines at competitive prices. The Takumi brand is for customers that need very high speed, high efficiency performance, such as that required in the production, die and mold, aerospace, and medical industries. Takumi machines are equipped with industry standard controls instead of the proprietary controls found on Hurco and Milltronics machines. These three brands of CNC machine tools are responsible for the vast majority of our revenue. However, we have added other non-Hurco branded products to our product portfolio that have contributed product diversity and market penetration opportunity. These non-Hurco branded products are sold by our wholly-owned distributors and are comprised primarily of other general-purpose vertical milling centers and lathes, laser cutting machines, CNC grinders, compact horizontal machines, metal cutting saws and CNC lathes. ProCobots LLC is our wholly-owned subsidiary that provides automation solutions. In addition, through LCM, we produce high value machine tool components and accessories.
We principally sell our products through approximately 160 independent agents and distributors throughout the Americas, Europe, and Asia. Although some distributors carry competitive products, we are the primary line for the majority of our distributors globally. We also have our own direct sales and service organizations in China, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, India, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Singapore, Taiwan, the United Kingdom, and certain parts of the United States, which are among the world’s principal machine tool consuming markets. The vast majority of our machine tools are manufactured and assembled to our specifications primarily by our wholly-owned subsidiary in Taiwan, HML. Components to support our SRT line of five-axis machining centers, such as the direct drive spindle, swivel head, and rotary table, are manufactured by our wholly-owned subsidiary in Italy, LCM.
Our sales to foreign customers are denominated, and payments by those customers are made, in the prevailing currencies in the countries in which those customers are located (primarily the Euro, Pound Sterling, and Chinese Yuan). Our product costs are incurred and paid primarily in the New Taiwan Dollar and the U.S. dollar. Changes in currency exchange rates may have a material effect on our operating results and consolidated financial statements as reported under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. For example, when the U.S. dollar weakens in value relative to a foreign currency, sales made, and expenses incurred, in that currency when translated to U.S. dollars for reporting in our financial statements, are higher than would be the case when the U.S. dollar is stronger. In the comparison of our period-to-period results, we discuss the effect of currency translation on those results, which reflect translation to U.S. dollars at exchange rates prevailing during the period covered by those financial statements.
Our high levels of foreign manufacturing and sales also expose us to cash flow risks due to fluctuating currency exchange rates. We seek to mitigate those risks through the use of derivative instruments – principally foreign currency forward exchange contracts.

Sales in the Americas for the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 decreased by 8%, compared to the corresponding period in fiscal year 2025, primarily due to a decreased volume of shipments of Milltronics vertical milling and toolroom machines.
20
European sales for the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 decreased by 5%, compared to the corresponding period in fiscal year 2025, and included a favorable currency impact of 8%, when translating foreign sales to U.S. dollars for financial reporting purposes. The decrease in European sales for the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 was primarily attributable to a decreased volume of shipments of Hurco VM machines and lathes in the UK and Germany. In addition to the decreased machine sales for the quarter, European sales also reflected a decline in shipment of accessories manufactured by LCM.
Asian Pacific sales for the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 decreased by 15%, compared to the corresponding period in fiscal year 2025, and included a favorable currency impact of 2%, when translating foreign sales to U.S. dollars for financial reporting purposes. The decrease in Asian Pacific sales primarily resulted from a lower volume of shipments of Hurco machines in China and India.

† Amounts shown do not include computer control systems and software sold as an integrated component of computerized machine tools.
Sales of computerized machine tools for the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 decreased by 11%, compared to the corresponding prior year period, primarily due to a decreased volume of shipments of Milltronics machines in the Americas and of Hurco machines in the United Kingdom, Germany, China and India. Sales of computer control systems and software for the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 decreased by 31%, compared to the corresponding prior year period, due mainly to decreased software sales in the Americas and European regions. Sales of service parts for the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 increased by 17%, compared to the corresponding prior year period, primarily due to increases in aftermarket parts sales of Takumi and Hurco products in the European and Asian Pacific regions. Service fees for the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 decreased by 4%, compared to the corresponding prior year period, primarily due to decreased aftermarket service fees in the Americas, partially offset by increased aftermarket service fees in the United Kingdom and France. Sales for all product lines included a favorable currency impact of 4% when translating foreign sales to U.S. dollars for financial reporting purposes.
Orders. Orders for the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 were $42.0 million, an increase of $1.9 million, or 5%, compared to the corresponding period in fiscal year 2025, and included a favorable currency impact of $1.5 million, or 4%, when translating foreign orders to U.S. dollars.

Orders in the Americas for the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 increased by 18%, compared to the corresponding period in fiscal year 2025, primarily due to increased customer demand for Hurco and Takumi machines.
21
European orders for the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 decreased by 2%, compared to the corresponding prior year period, and included a favorable currency impact of 8%, when translating foreign orders to U.S. dollars. The decrease in orders was driven primarily by decreased customer demand for Hurco and Takumi machines in Germany, France, Italy and the UK, partially offset by increased customer demand for electro-mechanical components and accessories manufactured by LCM.
Asian Pacific orders for the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 decreased by 6%, compared to the corresponding prior year period, and included an unfavorable currency impact of less than 1%, when translating foreign orders to U.S. dollars. The decrease in Asian Pacific orders was driven primarily by a decrease in customer demand for Hurco machines in China, partially offset by increased customer demand for Hurco and Takumi machines in India.
Gross Profit. Gross profit for the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 was $7.9 million, or 19% of sales, compared to $8.3 million, or 18% of sales, for the corresponding prior year period. The year-over-year increase in gross profit as a percentage of sales was primarily due to a greater sales mix of Hurco and Takumi higher-performance machines and improved leverage of fixed costs allocated to sales and production volumes.
Operating Expenses. Selling, general, and administrative expenses for the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 were $11.1 million, or 26% of sales, compared to $10.4 million, or 22% of sales, in the corresponding fiscal year 2025 period, and included an unfavorable currency impact of $0.4 million, when translating foreign expenses to U.S. dollars for financial reporting purposes. The year-over-year increase in selling, general, and administrative expenses for the quarter reflected the unfavorable currency impact and increased employee benefits costs.
Operating Income (Loss). Operating loss for the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 was $3.2 million, compared to $2.1 million for the corresponding period in fiscal year 2025. The year-over-year increase in operating loss was primarily due to a decreased volume of shipments of Hurco and Milltronics machines.
Other Income (Expense), Net. Other income, net for the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 was less than $0.1 million compared to other expense, net of $0.4 million for the corresponding period in fiscal year 2025. The year-over-year change was due mainly to gains from sale of an business and a decrease in foreign currency exchange loss.
Income Taxes. Income tax expense for the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 was $0.5 million, compared to $2.0 million for the corresponding prior year period. The year-over-year change was primarily due to a $1.2 million valuation allowance recorded during the first quarter of 2025 on our Italian deferred tax assets and changes in geographic mix of income and loss that includes jurisdictions with differing tax rates. A full valuation allowance has been recorded against our Italian, U.S., and Chinese deferred tax assets as of January 31, 2026 based on our conclusion that the deferred tax assets were not more likely than not to be recognized.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At January 31, 2026, we had cash and cash equivalents of $48.0 million, compared to $48.7 million at October 31, 2025. Approximately 19% of the $48.0 million of cash and cash equivalents was denominated in U.S. dollars. The balance was attributable to our foreign operations and is held in the local currencies of our various foreign entities, subject to fluctuations in currency exchange rates. We do not believe that the indefinite reinvestment of these funds offshore impairs our ability to meet our domestic working capital needs.
Working capital was $169.5 million at January 31, 2026, compared to $173.1 million at October 31, 2025. The decrease in working capital was primarily driven by an increase in accounts payable and a decrease in inventories.
Capital expenditures of $0.6 million during the first three months of fiscal year 2026 were primarily for software development costs and capital improvements in existing facilities. We funded these expenditures with cash on hand.
On January 6, 2023, we announced approval of a share repurchase program in an aggregate amount of up to $25.0 million and later extended this program through November 10, 2026. Repurchases under the program may be made in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions from time to time, subject to applicable laws, regulations and contractual provisions. We did not repurchase any shares of our common stock during the first quarter of fiscal 2026. As of January 31, 2026, we had repurchased $5.3 million, or 259,620 common shares, under this program since inception, leaving $19.7 million available for future repurchases thereunder.

On June 14, 2024, we announced a suspension of our regular quarterly cash dividend as we seek to enhance our financial flexibility and improve our ability to manage market volatility while focusing on strengthening our balance sheet, reinvesting in our core business and research and development related to emerging technologies, and returning value to shareholders via the appropriate channels in both the near and long-term. Future dividends are subject to approval of our Board of Directors and will depend upon many factors, including our results of operations, financial condition, capital requirements, regulatory and contractual restrictions, our business strategy, and other factors deemed relevant by our Board of Directors from time to time.
On December 31, 2018, we and our subsidiary Hurco B.V. entered into a credit agreement with Bank of America, N.A., as the lender, which was subsequently amended on each of March 13, 2020, December 23, 2020, December 17, 2021, January 4, 2023, and December 19, 2023 (as amended, the “2018 Credit Agreement”). The 2018 Credit Agreement provided for an unsecured revolving credit and letter of credit facility in a maximum aggregate amount of $40.0 million. The 2018 Credit Agreement provided that the maximum amount of outstanding letters of credit at any one time could not exceed $10.0 million, the maximum amount of outstanding loans made to our subsidiary Hurco B.V. at any one time could not exceed $20.0 million, and the maximum amount of all outstanding loans denominated in alternative currencies at any one time could not exceed $20.0 million. The scheduled maturity date of the 2018 Credit Agreement was December 31, 2025, and on that date, the 2018 Credit Agreement terminated in accordance with its terms.
In March 2019, our wholly-owned subsidiaries in Taiwan, HML, and China, NHML, closed on uncommitted revolving credit facilities with maximum aggregate amounts of 150 million New Taiwan Dollars and 32.5 million Chinese Yuan, respectively. As uncommitted facilities, both the Taiwan and China credit facilities were subject to review and termination by the respective underlying lending institution from time to time. On December 31, 2025, the 150 million New Taiwan Dollars Taiwan credit facility and the 32.5 million Chinese Yuan China credit facility terminated in accordance with their terms.
On January 5, 2026, we entered into a credit agreement with Bank of America, N.A., as the lender (the “2026 Credit Agreement”). The 2026 Credit Agreement provides for a secured revolving credit and letter of credit facility in a maximum aggregate amount of $20.0 million. The 2026 Credit Agreement provides that the maximum amount of outstanding letters of credit at any one time may not exceed $10.0 million and the maximum amount of all outstanding loans denominated in alternative currencies at any one time may not exceed $20.0 million. Under the 2026 Credit Agreement, we are the borrower, and certain of our subsidiaries are guarantors. Our obligations under the 2026 Credit Agreement are secured by a security interest in substantially all of our personal property and substantially all of the personal property of each subsidiary guarantor. The scheduled maturity date of the 2026 Credit Agreement is December 31, 2026.
Borrowings under the 2026 Credit Agreement bear interest at floating rates based on, at our option, either (i) a rate based upon the SOFR, the Sterling Overnight Index Average Reference Rate, the Euro Interbank Offering Rate, or another alternative currency-based rate approved by the lender, depending on the term of the loan and the currency in which such loan is denominated, plus 2.50% per annum, or (ii) a base rate (which is the highest of (a) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, (b) the prime rate or (c) the one month SOFR-based rate plus 1.00%), plus 1.50% per annum. Outstanding letters of credit will carry an annual rate of 2.50%.
The 2026 Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants and events of default, including covenants (1) restricting us from making certain investments, loans, advances and acquisitions (but permitting us to make investments in subsidiaries of up to $10.0 million); (2) restricting us from making certain payments, including (a) cash dividends, except that we may pay cash dividends as long as immediately before and after giving effect to such payment, the sum of the unused amount of the commitments under the 2026 Credit Agreement plus our cash on hand is not less than $10.0 million, we are in pro forma compliance with the maximum consolidated leverage ratio covenant as described below, and we are not in default before and after giving effect to such dividend payments and (b) payments made to repurchase shares of our common stock, except that we may repurchase shares of our common stock as long as we are not in default before and after giving effect to such repurchases and the aggregate amount of payments made by us for all such repurchases during any fiscal year does not exceed $10.0 million; and (3) requiring that we maintain a maximum consolidated leverage ratio of total debt to EBITDA no greater than 2.00 to 1.00, with EBITDA defined as the greater of (i) consolidated EBITDA for the most recently completed measurement period and (ii) $1.00. We may use the proceeds from advances under the 2026 Credit Agreement for general corporate purposes.
23
The maximum consolidated leverage ratio covenant effectively prohibits us from borrowing any amounts under the 2026 Credit Agreement when our consolidated EBITDA for the most recently completed measurement period is negative. As of the date of this report, the most recently completed measurement period was our first quarter ended January 31, 2026, during which our consolidated EBITDA was negative. In order to borrow in compliance with the maximum consolidated leverage ratio covenant set forth above, we are effectively prohibited from borrowing under the 2026 Credit Agreement until we have positive consolidated EBITDA for our most recently completed four fiscal quarters.
As of January 31, 2026, our credit facilities consisted of a €1.5 million revolving credit facility in Germany and the $20.0 million secured revolving credit and letter of credit facility. We had no debt or borrowings outstanding under any of our credit facilities as of January 31, 2026.
We also have an international cash pooling strategy that generally provides access to available cash deposits and credit facilities when needed in the U.S., Europe, or Asia Pacific.
We have borrowed only $1.6 million during the fiscal years ended 2015-2018 to fund start-up costs related to expansion in China and have not had any borrowings under any of our previous debt facilities at any other time over the previous ten fiscal years, even during prolonged recessionary industry cycles. While we are currently in the process of evaluating a longer-term global credit solution that aligns with our best interest, we believe our current cash on hand, expected cash flow from operations, access to cash pooling and our current credit facilities provide adequate liquidity to fund our global operations over the next twelve months and beyond, and allow us to remain committed to our strategic plan of product innovation, acquisitions, targeted penetration of developing markets, and a balanced capital allocation program.
We continue to receive and review information on businesses and assets for potential acquisition, including intellectual property assets that are available for purchase.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
Our MD&A is based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with those accounting principles requires us to make judgments and estimates that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Those judgments and estimates have a significant effect on the financial statements because they result primarily from the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Our critical accounting estimates, which are described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2025, are frequently evaluated as our judgment and estimates are based upon historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. During the first three months of fiscal year 2026, there were no material changes to our critical accounting estimates as described in the MD&A included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2025.
CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS AND COMMITMENTS
There have been no material changes related to our contractual obligations and commitments from the information provided in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2025.
OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
From time to time, our subsidiaries guarantee third party payment obligations in connection with the sale of machines to customers that use financing. We follow FASB guidance for accounting for guarantees (codified in ASC 460). As of January 31, 2026, we had four outstanding third party payment guarantees totaling approximately $0.4 million. The terms of these guarantees are consistent with the underlying customer financing terms. Upon shipment of a machine, the customer assumes the risk of ownership. The customer does not obtain title, however, until the customer has paid for the machine. A retention of title clause allows us to recover the machine if the customer defaults on the financing. We accrue liabilities under these guarantees at fair value, which amounts are insignificant.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Interest Rate Risk
Interest on borrowings under our bank credit agreements are tied to prevailing domestic and foreign interest rates. At January 31, 2026, we had no borrowings outstanding under any of our credit facilities.
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
In the first three months of fiscal year 2026, we derived approximately 61% of our revenues from customers located outside of the Americas, where we invoiced and received payments in several foreign currencies. All of our computerized machine tools and computer control systems, as well as certain proprietary service parts, are sourced by our U.S.-based engineering and manufacturing division and re-invoiced to our foreign sales and service subsidiaries, primarily in their functional currencies.
Our products are sourced from foreign suppliers or built to our specifications by either our wholly-owned subsidiaries in Taiwan, the U.S., and Italy or an affiliated contract manufacturer in Taiwan. Our purchases are predominantly in foreign currencies and in some cases our arrangements with these suppliers include foreign currency risk sharing agreements, which reduce (but do not eliminate) the effects of currency fluctuations on product costs. The predominant portion of the exchange rate risk associated with our product purchases relates to the New Taiwan Dollar and the Euro.
We enter into foreign currency forward exchange contracts from time to time to hedge the cash flow risk related to forecasted inter-company sales and purchases denominated in, or based on, foreign currencies (primarily the Euro, Pound Sterling, and New Taiwan Dollar). We also enter into foreign currency forward exchange contracts to protect against the effects of foreign currency fluctuations on inter-company receivables, payables, and loans denominated in foreign currencies. We do not speculate in the financial markets and, therefore, do not enter into these contracts for trading purposes.
Forward contracts for the sale or purchase of foreign currencies as of January 31, 2026, which are designated as cash flow hedges under FASB guidance related to accounting for derivative instruments and hedging activities, were as follows (in thousands, except weighted average forward rates):

* New Taiwan Dollars per U.S. dollar
We are also exposed to foreign currency exchange risk related to our investment in net assets in foreign countries. To manage this risk, we have maintained a forward contract with a notional amount of €3.0 million. We designated this forward contract as a hedge of our net investment in Euro-denominated assets. We selected the forward method under FASB guidance related to the accounting for derivative instruments and hedging activities. The forward method requires all changes in the fair value of the contract to be reported as a cumulative translation adjustment in Accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax, in the same manner as the underlying hedged net assets. This forward contract matures in November 2026. As of January 31, 2026, we had a realized gain of $1.0 million and an unrealized loss of $0.1 million, net of tax, recorded as cumulative translation adjustments in Accumulated other comprehensive loss related to the hedging of our net investment in Euro-denominated assets. Forward contracts for the sale or purchase of foreign currencies as of January 31, 2026, which are designated as net investment hedges under this guidance, were as follows (in thousands, except weighted average forward rates):

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
We conducted an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of January 31, 2026, pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Based upon that evaluation, our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the evaluation date.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended January 31, 2026 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
27
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From time to time, we are involved in various claims and lawsuits arising in the normal course of business. Pursuant to applicable accounting rules, we accrue the minimum liability for each known claim when the estimated outcome is a range of possible loss and no one amount within that range is more likely than another. We maintain insurance policies for such matters, and we record insurance recoveries when we determine such recovery to be probable. We do not expect any of these claims, individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations. We believe that the ultimate resolution of claims for any losses will not exceed our insurance policy coverages.
Item 1A. RISK FACTORS
There have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in Part I, Item 1A – Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10 K for the year ended October 31, 2025.
Item 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
We did not repurchase any shares of our common stock in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026.
Item 5. OTHER INFORMATION
During the period covered by this report, the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors engaged our independent registered public accounting firm to perform non-audit, tax planning services. This disclosure is made pursuant to Section 10A(i)(2) of the Exchange Act, as added by Section 202 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
During the three months ended January 31, 2026, none of our directors or officers (as defined in Rule 16a-1(f) of the Exchange Act)
