Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)
A. Financial Information
The unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Kewaunee Scientific Corporation (the "Company") have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") have been condensed or omitted, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.
These interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of these financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes included in the Company's 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of April 30, 2025 included in this interim period filing has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and related notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.
The preparation of the interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
B. Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. During the nine months ended January 31, 2026 and twelve months ended April 30, 2025, the Company had cash deposits in excess of FDIC insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses from such deposits. Restricted cash includes bank deposits of subsidiaries used for performance guarantees against customer orders.
The Company includes restricted cash along with the cash balance for presentation in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The reconciliation between the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows is as follows (in thousands):

C. Nu Aire Acquisition
On November 1, 2024 (the “Closing Date”), the Company completed the acquisition of Nu Aire, Inc. ("Nu Aire"), a leading manufacturer of equipment for a diverse range of laboratory and pharmacy environments, by acquiring all of the Nu Aire capital stock that was issued and outstanding as of the date of acquisition (the "Transaction"). The Transaction expands the Company's capabilities, allowing the combined organization to better meet the needs of end-users in laboratory furnishings and accelerates the Company's vision of becoming the market leader in the design and manufacturing of laboratory furniture and technical products essential for outfitting laboratories.
The Company purchased all the outstanding stock of Nu Aire for $55.0 million, subject to certain adjustments for debt, cash, transaction expenses, and net working capital resulting in aggregate acquisition consideration of $53.0 million as shown in the table below. $23.0 million of the purchase price payable at closing of the Transaction was funded pursuant to subordinated seller notes. The remaining purchase price payable at closing of the Transaction was paid in cash, which cash was funded, in part, through the Revolving Credit Facility (as defined in Note H, Long-term Debt and Other Credit Arrangements), and Term Loan (as defined in Note H, Long-term Debt and Other Credit Arrangements), provided to the Company by PNC Bank, National Association ("PNC").

The following table summarizes the aggregate acquisition consideration for Nu Aire:
| ($ in thousands) | ||||||||
| Cash paid to Nu Aire | $ | |||||||
| Subordinated Promissory Notes due to Nu Aire | ||||||||
| Payment of Nu Aire transaction expenses | ||||||||
| Purchase Price | $ | |||||||
The Transaction was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations. The purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired was allocated to goodwill, none of which is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. Goodwill arising from the Transaction is attributable to the value of the acquired assembled workforce and the premium paid.
The purchase price recorded for Nu Aire was allocated as follows:

| Long-term portion of operating lease liabilities | ( | ||||||||||||||||
Deferred income taxes | ( | ||||||||||||||||
Total liabilities assumed | ( | ||||||||||||||||
Aggregate acquisition consideration | $ | ||||||||||||||||
The purchase price allocation was finalized as of July 31, 2025, within the measurement period, and no further adjustments will be made. During the year ended April 30, 2025, the Company recorded a $1.8 million measurement period adjustment to increase inventory as a result of revised capitalized variances related to work-in-progress as of the acquisition date, with a corresponding decrease to Goodwill, net of the tax impact. The net effect of these adjustments would have resulted in an insignificant decrease in cost of products sold recorded during the year ended April 30, 2025. The measurement period adjustments were recorded in our consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended April 30, 2025.
The above fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on the information that was available as of the reporting date. The fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were determined using the income and cost approaches. In many cases, the determination of the fair values required estimates about discount rates, future expected cash flows and other future events that are judgmental and subject to change. The fair value measurements were primarily based on
8
significant inputs that are not observable in the market and thus represent a Level 3 measurement of the fair value hierarchy as defined in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements. Intangible assets consisting of customer relationships, trade names and trademarks, and developed technology were valued using the multi-period excess earnings method ("MEEM"), or the relief from royalty ("RFR") method, both are forms of the income approach. A cost approach was applied for property, plant and equipment.
•Customer relationship intangible assets were valued using the MEEM method. The significant assumptions used include the estimated annual net cash flows (including appropriate revenue and profit attributable to the asset, customer attrition rates, applicable tax rate, and contributory asset charges, among other factors), the discount rate reflecting the risks inherent in the future cash flow stream, an assessment of the asset's life cycle and the tax amortization benefit, among other factors.
•The trade names and trademarks and developed technology intangible assets were valued using the RFR method. The significant assumptions used include the estimated annual net cash flows (including appropriate revenue attributable to the asset, applicable tax rate, royalty rate, and other factors such as technology related obsolescence rates), the discount rate, reflecting the risks inherent in the future cash flow stream, and the tax amortization benefit, among other factors.
•The cost approach, which estimates value by determining the current cost of replacing an asset with another of equivalent economic utility, was used for property, plant, and equipment. The cost to replace a given asset reflects the estimated reproduction or replacement cost for the property, less an allowance for loss in value due to depreciation.
The Company believes that the information provided a reasonable basis for estimating the fair values of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities and considers the purchase price allocation finalized as of July 31, 2025, within the measurement period.
The amounts allocated to intangible assets are as follows:

The following unaudited supplemental pro forma combined financial information presents the Company's results of operations for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2025 as if the acquisition of Nu Aire had occurred on May 1, 2023. The pro forma financial information is presented for comparative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the Company's operating results that may have actually occurred had the acquisition of Nu Aire been completed on May 1, 2023. In addition, the unaudited pro forma financial information does not give effect to any anticipated cost savings, operating efficiencies, or other synergies that may be associated with the Transaction, or any estimated costs that have been or will be incurred by the Company to integrate the assets and operations of Nu Aire.

D. Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when control of a good or service promised in a contract (i.e., performance obligation) is transferred to a customer. Control is obtained when a customer has the ability to direct the use of and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from that good or service. The majority of the Company's revenues are recognized over time as the customer receives control as the Company performs work under a contract. However, a portion of the Company's revenues are recognized at a point-in-time as control is transferred at a distinct point in time per the terms of a contract.
Disaggregated Revenue
A summary of net sales transferred to customers over time and at a point in time for the periods ended January 31, 2026 and January 31, 2025 is as follows (in thousands):
| Three Months Ended | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Contract Balances
The closing balances of contract assets included $16,726,000 in accounts receivable at January 31, 2026. The opening balance of contract assets arising from contracts with customers included $12,693,000 in accounts receivable at April 30, 2025. The closing and opening balances of contract liabilities included in deferred revenue arising from contracts with customers were $4,067,000 at January 31, 2026 and $6,073,000 at April 30, 2025. The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in accounts receivable, unbilled receivables, and deferred revenue which are disclosed in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. In general, the Company receives payments from customers based on a billing schedule established in its contracts. Unbilled receivables represent amounts earned which have not yet been billed in accordance with contractually stated billing terms and are included in receivables on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Receivables are recorded when the right to consideration becomes unconditional and the Company has a right to invoice the customer. Deferred revenue relates to payments received in advance of performance under the contract. Deferred revenue is recognized as revenue as (or when) the Company performs under the contract. Approximately 40 % and 100 % of the contract liability balances at April 30, 2025 and January 31, 2026, respectively, are expected to be recognized as revenue during the respective succeeding 12 months, with the remaining balance primarily related to international operations, which generally have longer delivery and collection cycles.
E. Inventories
The Company measures inventories using the first-in, first-out method at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Inventories consisted of the following (in thousands):

F. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company's financial instruments consist primarily of cash and equivalents, mutual funds, a sale-leaseback financing liability, term loans, and short-term borrowings. The carrying value of these assets and liabilities approximates their fair value. The following tables summarize the Company's fair value hierarchy for its financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of January 31, 2026 and April 30, 2025 (in thousands):

PNC Loan Agreement
As noted in Note C, Nu Aire Acquisition, the Company entered into a Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with PNC on November 1, 2024. The loans governed by the Loan Agreement include (i) a $20.0 million committed senior secured revolving
12
line of credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), which contains an option to increase the facility upon request by the Company and approval by PNC, in its discretion, by an additional $10.0 million; and (ii) a $15.0 million term loan (the “Term Loan”). The Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan mature on November 1, 2029.
On December 4, 2025, the Company entered into a First Amendment to Loan Agreement ("First Amendment") with PNC. The First Amendment amends the Loan Agreement (together with the "First Amendment," the "Amended Loan Agreement") between the Company and PNC to, among other things, (i) permit the Company to repay in full the outstanding principal balances of the subordinated seller notes issued by the Company in connection with its acquisition of Nu Aire in November 2024, together with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon (the "Seller Note Repayment"), (ii) provide for an additional $10.0 million term loan the proceeds of which are to be used by the Company to partially fund the Seller Note Repayment (the "First Amendment Term Loan" and together with the Term Loan, the "Term Loans"), and (iii) permit the Company to draw and use available funds under the revolving line of credit established by the Loan Agreement to partially fund the Seller Note Repayment. The First Amendment Term Loan matures on December 4, 2030.
The Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Loans can be paid at any time without penalty.
There were no 20.0
For the Revolving Credit Facility, the interest rate will be selected by the Company at each advance from one of two options. Option 1 is a base rate option. Option 2 is a daily secured overnight financing rate. There is an unused fee of 0.15 % to 0.25 %, determined by the ratio of senior debt to the Company’s EBITDA, of the unused daily balance of the Revolving Credit Facility. For the Term Loan, the principal will be paid in 60 substantially equal monthly installments over the term of the Loan Agreement. For the First Amendment, the principal will be paid in 59 substantially equal monthly installments over the term of the agreement. Interest will be paid at the same time and calculated on the outstanding principal balance at an interest rate equal to the rate under Option 2 of the Revolving Credit Facility. The borrowing rate on the Term Loans was 5.25 % as of January 31, 2026, as compared to 5.96 % as of April 30, 2025. The Company recorded interest expense of $249,000 and $641,000 related to the Term Loans for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2026, respectively. The Company recorded interest expense of $236,000
The Amended Loan Agreement has customary reporting covenants. The principal financial covenants require that (1) the Company maintain on a consolidated basis a ratio of senior funded indebtedness to EBITDA of not more than 2.50 to 1.00 and (2) a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.20 to 1.00. The Loan Agreement also contains covenants prohibiting under certain circumstances (1) the incurrence of certain indebtedness, (2) the granting of security interests by the Company to persons other than PNC, (3) the delivery of guaranties for debts of third parties, and (4) certain transactions not in the ordinary course of business. At January 31, 2026 and April 30, 2025, the Company was in compliance with all of the financial covenants under the Amended Loan Agreement.
Seller Notes
As noted in Note C, Nu Aire Acquisition, $23.0 million of the aggregate purchase price paid in the Nu Aire Acquisition was paid by the issuance of subordinated seller notes (the "Seller Notes") entered into by the Company on November 1, 2024. The Seller Notes accrued interest at 8 % per annum and were scheduled to mature on November 1, 2027, at which time the outstanding principal amount and all unpaid accrued interest were to become due and payable by the Company.
On December 4, 2025, the Company completed the Seller Note Repayment. Pursuant to the terms of the Seller Notes, the Seller Notes could be prepaid, in full or in part, at any time without prepayment penalty, premium, or other fee. Upon completion of the Seller Note Repayment, all obligations, covenants, debts and liabilities of the Company under the Seller Notes were satisfied and discharged in full, and the Seller Notes and all other documents entered into in connection with the Seller Notes were terminated.
Prior to the Seller Note Repayment, the Company accrued $905,000 in PIK interest for the six month period ended October 31, 2025 and $935,000 for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2025. The Company made a payment of $1,840,000 during the three month period ended October 31, 2025 for its accrued PIK interest, resulting in a PIK interest balance of zero as of October 31, 2025. As part of the Seller Note Repayment, the Company repaid the outstanding Seller Notes balance of $23.0 million and accrued but unpaid interest balance of $173,000 . The Company incurred $0.3 million in related expenses as a result of the Seller Note Repayment.

Mid Cap Revolving Credit Facility
On September 30, 2024, the Company terminated the Company's previous revolving credit facility with Mid Cap Funding IV Trust (the "Mid Cap Revolving Credit Facility"). At the time of termination, there was a $3.0 million balance outstanding under the Mid Cap Revolving Credit Facility, which was paid off in full as part of the termination. The Company incurred $0.5 million in related expenses as a result of the termination.
International Subsidiaries Short-Term Borrowings
I. Sale-Leaseback Financing Transaction
On December 22, 2021, the Company entered into an Agreement for Purchase and Sale of Real Property with CAI Investments Sub-Series 100 LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (the "Buyer"), for the Company’s headquarters and manufacturing facilities located at 2700 West Front Street in Statesville, North Carolina (the "Sale Agreement").
The Sale Agreement was finalized on March 24, 2022 and coincided with the Company and CAI Investments Medical Products I Master Lessee LLC ("Lessor") entering into a lease agreement. The lease arrangement is for a 20-year term, with four renewal options of five years each. Under the terms of the lease agreement, the Company’s initial basic rent is approximately $158,000 per month, with annual increases of approximately 2 % each year of the initial term.
The Company accounted for the Sale-Leaseback Arrangement as a financing transaction as the lease agreement was determined to be a finance lease due to the significance of the present value of the lease payments, using a discount rate of 4.75 % to reflect the Company’s incremental borrowing rate, compared to the fair value of the leased property as of the lease commencement date. In measuring the lease payments for the present value analysis, the Company elected the practical expedient to combine the lease component (the leased facilities) with the non-lease component (property management provided by the Buyer/Lessor) into a single lease component.
The presence of a finance lease indicates that control of the property has not transferred to the Buyer/Lessor and, as such, the transaction was deemed a failed sale-leaseback and accounted for as a financing arrangement. As a result of this determination, the Company is viewed as having received the sale proceeds from the Buyer/Lessor in the form of a hypothetical loan collateralized by its leased facilities. The hypothetical loan is payable as principal and interest in the form of “lease payments” to the Buyer/Lessor. As such, the Company will not derecognize the property from its books for accounting purposes until the lease ends. No gain or loss was recognized under GAAP related to the Sale-Leaseback Arrangement.
As of January 31, 2026, the carrying value of the financing liability was $26,835,000 , net of $547,000 in debt issuance costs, of which $847,000 was classified as current on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet with $25,988,000 classified as long-term. As of April 30, 2025, the carrying value of the financing liability was $27,420,000 , net of $589,000 in debt issuance costs, of which $788,000 was classified as current on the Consolidated Balance Sheet with $26,632,000 classified as long-term. The monthly lease payments are split between a reduction of principal and interest expense using the effective interest rate method. Interest expense associated with the financing arrangement was $303,000 and $313,000 for the three months ended January 31, 2026 and January 31, 2025, respectively. Interest expense associated with the financing arrangement was $917,000 and $944,000 for the nine months ended January 31, 2026 and January 31, 2025, respectively.
The Company will continue to depreciate the building down to zero over the 20-year assumed economic life of the property so that at the end of the lease term, the remaining carrying amount of the financing liability will equal the carrying amount of the land of $41,000 .

Remaining future cash payments related to the financing liability as of January 31, 2026 are as follows:

J. Leases
The Company recognizes lease assets and lease liabilities reflecting the rights and obligations created by operating type leases for real estate and equipment in both the U.S. and internationally and financing leases for vehicles and IT equipment in the U.S. At January 31, 2026 and April 30, 2025, right-of-use assets totaled $10,449,000 and $12,965,000 , respectively. Operating cash paid to settle lease liabilities was $3,250,000 and $2,376,000 for the nine months ended January 31, 2026 and January 31, 2025, respectively. The Company's leases have remaining lease terms of up to years. In addition, some of the leases may include options to extend the leases for up to years or options to terminate the leases within year. Operating lease expense was $1,508,000 and $4,566,000 for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2026, inclusive of period cost for short-term leases, not included in lease liabilities, of $423,000 and $1,316,000 . Operating lease expense was $1,306,000 and $3,066,000 for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2025, respectively, inclusive of period cost for short-term leases, not included in lease liabilities, of $264,000 and $691,000 .
At January 31, 2026, the weighted average remaining lease term for the capitalized operating leases was 3.5 years and the weighted average discount rate was 6.2 %. For the financing leases, the weighted average remaining lease term was 4.7 years and the weighted average discount rate was 7.6 %. As most of the Company's leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of those lease payments. The Company uses the implicit rate when readily determinable.
Future minimum lease payments under non-cancelable leases as of January 31, 2026 were as follows:

M. Stock Options and Stock-based Compensation
The Company recognizes compensation costs related to stock options and other stock awards granted by the Company as operating expenses over their vesting period.
In August 2023, the stockholders approved the 2023 Omnibus Incentive Plan ("2023 Plan"), which enables the Company to grant equity-based awards, with potential recipients including directors, consultants, and employees. This plan replaced the 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan ("2017 Plan"). All outstanding equity granted under the 2017 Plan remain subject to, and will be settled under, the 2017 Plan. At the date of approval of the 2023 Plan, there were 64,633 shares available for new awards under the 2017 Plan, and 168,791 shares available for issuance under equity awards outstanding under the 2017 Plan. These shares that were available for new awards and any shares subject to outstanding awards under the 2017 Plan that subsequently cease to be subject to such awards are available under the 2023 Plan. The 2023 Plan also increased the total number of shares reserved for issuance under the Company's equity compensation plans by 310,000 , for a total of 374,633 shares initially reserved for issuance under the 2023 Plan. At January 31, 2026, there were 290,636 shares available for future issuance under the 2023 Plan.
In June 2025, the Company granted 72,728 RSUs under the 2023 Plan. These RSUs include both a service and a performance component, vesting over a three-year period. The recognized expense is based upon the vesting period for service criteria and estimated attainment of the performance criteria at the end of the three-year period, based on the ratio of cumulative days of
16
service to total days over the three-year period. The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $521,000 and $1,406,000 during the three and nine months ended January 31, 2026, respectively, with the remaining estimated stock-based compensation expense of $2,797,000 to be recorded over the remaining vesting periods. The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $381,000 and $1,071,000 during the three and nine months ended January 31, 2025, respectively.

N. Income Taxes
Income tax expense of $528,000 and $2,204,000 was recorded for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2026, respectively. Income tax benefit of $108,000 and interest tax expense of $1,000,000 was recorded for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2025, respectively. The effective tax rate was 32.9 % and 24.6 % for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2026, respectively. The effective tax rate was (8.5 )% and 13.1 % for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2025, respectively. The effective tax rate for the current three month period reflects the impact of foreign operations which are taxed at different rates than the U.S. tax rate of 21%, combined with expected current year tax expense for the Company's domestic operations. In addition, the income tax expense recorded for the nine months ended January 31, 2026 was favorably impacted by a discrete tax benefit of $303,000 resulting from the issuance of stock through the vesting of restricted stock units during the first quarter.
In August 2019, the Company revoked its indefinite reinvestment of foreign unremitted earnings position in compliance with ASC 740 "Income Taxes" and terminated its indefinite reinvestment of unremitted earnings assertion for the Singapore and Kewaunee Labway India Pvt. Ltd. international subsidiaries. The Company has a deferred tax liability of $1,291,000 and $1,507,000 for the withholding tax related to Kewaunee Labway India Pvt. Ltd. as of January 31, 2026 and April 30, 2025, respectively.
On July 4, 2025, the U.S. government enacted Public Law No. 119-21, commonly known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act ("OBBBA"), which includes a broad range of tax reform provisions affecting businesses, including modifications and extensions of certain Tax Cuts and Jobs Act provisions, domestic research and development cost expensing, extension of 100% bonus depreciation, limitations on interest expense deductions, and adjustments to certain Inflation Reduction Act incentives. Since the OBBBA was enacted on July 4, 2025, the Company has evaluated its provisions and reflected the impact of the bonus amortization acceleration under Section 174 of the Internal Revenue Code in its income tax provision for the nine months ended January 31, 2026. The enactment impacts the Company's effective tax rate and deferred tax balances for the period. The Company continues to evaluate other provisions of the legislation; however, no additional material impacts have been identified as of January 31, 2026.
O. Segment Information
In accordance with ASC 280, Segment Reporting, the Company's operations are classified into two
The Company's Chief Operating Decision Maker is its CEO, who evaluates the performance of each segment and measures its segment profitability based on earnings before income taxes. Some Corporate expenses, such as those related to executive management, finance, etc., are allocated to the segments.

P. New Accounting Standards
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Improvements for Income Tax Disclosures," which requires public business entities to, on an annual basis, (1) disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and (2) provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. This ASU also provides for additional disclosure requirements to provide clarity for investors related to income tax disclosures. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company will adopt this standard for its annual reporting in fiscal year 2026. The Company is evaluating the full extent of the potential impact of the adoption of this standard but does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, "Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40)," which requires public business entities to provide disclosure of additional information about certain identified costs and expenses on both an interim and annual basis. In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, "Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40); Clarifying the Effective Date," which provided clarification regarding the effective dates of annual and interim disclosure requirements presented in ASU 2024-03. Upon consideration of the clarification in 2025-01, the guidance in ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company will adopt this standard in fiscal year 2028 for annual disclosures and fiscal year 2029 for interim disclosures. The Company is evaluating the full extent of the potential impact of the adoption of this standard but does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Acquisition of Nu Aire, Inc.
On November 1, 2024, the Company completed an acquisition of Nu Aire. The Company purchased all of the outstanding capital stock of Nu Aire for $55.0 million, subject to certain customary adjustments for debt, cash, transaction expenses and net working capital. $23.0 million of the purchase price payable at closing of the Transaction was funded pursuant to subordinated seller notes. The remaining purchase price payable at closing of the Transaction was paid in cash, which cash was funded, in part, through the Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan, provided to the Company by PNC Bank, National Association.
Nu Aire is renowned for its manufacturing of biological safety cabinets, airflow products, CO2 incubators, ultralow freezers, animal handling equipment, pharmacy compounding isolators, and related parts and accessories. Their products serve a diverse range of industries, including life sciences, healthcare, pharmacy, education, food and beverage, and industrial sectors.
The acquisition of Nu Aire presents a unique opportunity for the Company to combine its robust capabilities with a recognized market leader whose product portfolio and well-developed channel strategy complement the Company’s existing offerings. This acquisition expands the Company’s capabilities, allowing the combined organization to better meet the diverse needs of end-users in laboratory furnishings. Additionally, Nu Aire has established distribution partners in regions where the Company has not previously had a presence. This move accelerates the Company’s vision of becoming the market leader in the design and manufacturing of laboratory furniture and technical products essential for outfitting laboratories.
Critical Accounting Estimates
In the ordinary course of business, the Company may make estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of results of operations and financial position in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. There have been no material changes to the Company's determination of its most critical accounting estimates, which are those that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations, and require management's most difficult, subjective and complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain, from those described in Part II, Item 7 of the Company's 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K under the heading "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" beyond those set forth below.
Results of Operations
Sales for the quarter were $69,399,000, an increase from sales of $67,167,000 in the comparable period of the prior year. Domestic sales for the quarter were $50,953,000, down 2.0% when compared to sales of $51,976,000 in the comparable period of the prior year. Domestic sales remained relatively flat when compared to the prior year. International sales for the quarter were $18,446,000, up 21.4% when compared to sales of $15,191,000 in the comparable period of the prior year. International sales increased when compared to the prior year period due to higher billings, principally in the Indian market.
Sales for the nine months ended January 31, 2026 were $210,599,000, an increase from sales of $163,324,000 in the comparable period of the prior year. Domestic sales for the period were $160,529,000, up 29.6% from sales of $123,908,000 in the comparable period of the prior year. The increase in Domestic sales was due to the acquisition of Nu Aire, as discussed above, which was included in the prior year comparable results for only a portion of the nine month period. International sales for the period were $50,070,000, up 27.0% from sales of $39,416,000 in the comparable period of the prior year. The increase in International sales was primarily driven by increased billings, as noted above.
The Company's order backlog was $183.2 million at January 31, 2026, as compared to $221.6 million at January 31, 2025, and $214.6 million at April 30, 2025.
The gross profit margin for the three months ended January 31, 2026 was 26.7% of sales, as compared to 27.4% of sales in the comparable quarter of the prior year. The gross profit margin for the nine months ended January 31, 2026 was 28.1% of sales, as compared to 27.4% of sales in the comparable period of the prior year. The change in gross profit margin percentage for the nine months ended January 31, 2026 was primarily driven by the acquisition of Nu Aire on November 1, 2024. Additionally,
20
domestic segment profitability in the three months ended January 31, 2026 was impacted by lower manufacturing volumes across the laboratory construction portion of the business as well as changes in product mix.
Operating expenses for the three months ended January 31, 2026 were $15,963,000, or 23.0% of sales, as compared to $16,129,000, or 24.0% of sales, in the comparable period of the prior year. Operating expenses for the nine months ended January 31, 2026 were $47,696,000, or 22.6% of sales, as compared to $35,560,000, or 21.8% of sales, in the comparable period of the prior year. Operating expenses for the three months ended January 31, 2026 remained relatively flat. The increase in operating expenses for the nine months ended January 31, 2026 was primarily due to the acquisition of Nu Aire. The increase in operating expenses was also impacted by increases in SG&A wages, benefits, incentive and stock-based compensation of $1,008,000 and international operating expenses of $682,000, partially offset by decreases in consulting and professional fees of $1,106,000.
Interest expense was $1,112,000 and $3,231,000 for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2026, respectively, as compared to $1,137,000 and $2,051,000 for the comparable periods of the prior year. The changes in interest expense were due to changes in the levels of bank and other borrowings and interest rates.
Income tax expense of $528,000 and income tax benefit of $108,000 were recorded for the three months ended January 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Income tax expense of $2,204,000 and $1,000,000 were recorded for the nine months ended January 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The effective income tax rate for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2026 was 32.9% and 24.6%, respectively, as compared to (8.5)% and 13.1% for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2025, respectively. The effective tax rate for the current three and nine month periods reflects the impact of foreign operations which are taxed at different rates than the U.S. tax rate of 21%, combined with expected current year tax expense for the Company's domestic operations. In addition, the income tax expense recorded for the nine months ended January 31, 2026 was favorably impacted by a discrete tax benefit of $303,000 resulting from the issuance of stock through the vesting of restricted stock units during the first quarter. The comparable prior year period also included a one-time tax benefit related to the remeasurement of deferred tax assets following the Nu Aire acquisition. The acquisition changed the Company's weighted average state tax rate, resulting in a favorable deferred tax assets adjustment. On July 4, 2025, the U.S. government enacted Public Law No. 119-21, commonly known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act ("OBBBA"), which includes a broad range of tax reform provisions affecting businesses. Since OBBBA was enacted on July 4, 2025, the Company has evaluated its provisions and reflected the impact of the bonus amortization acceleration under Section 174 of the Internal Revenue Code in its income tax provision for the nine months ended January 31, 2026. The enactment impacts the Company's effective tax rate and deferred tax balances for the period. The Company continues to evaluate other provisions of the legislation; however, no additional material impacts have been identified as of January 31, 2026. See Note N, Income Taxes, of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Non-controlling interests related to the Company's subsidiaries not 100% owned by the Company decreased net earnings by $384,000 and $543,000 for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2026, respectively, as compared to $29,000 and $81,000, respectively, for the comparable period of the prior year. The change in the net earnings attributable to the non-controlling interest in the current period was due to changes in earnings (losses) of the subsidiaries in the related period.
Net earnings was $692,000, or $0.23 per diluted share, for the three months ended January 31, 2026, compared to net earnings of $1,354,000, or $0.45 per diluted share, in the prior year period. Net earnings was $6,230,000, or $2.09 per diluted share, for the nine months ended January 31, 2026, compared to net earnings of $6,555,000, or $2.20 per diluted share, in the prior year period.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal sources of liquidity have historically been funds generated from operating activities, supplemented as needed by borrowings under our previous Mid Cap Revolving Credit Facility. The Company terminated the Mid Cap Revolving Credit Facility on September 30, 2024. In conjunction with the Nu Aire acquisition (see Note C, Nu Aire Acquisition for additional details), the Company entered into a new Revolving Credit Facility with PNC, which is available on an ongoing basis to supplement our sources of liquidity as needed. Additionally, certain machinery and equipment are financed by non-cancellable operating and financing leases. The Company believes that these sources will be sufficient to support ongoing business requirements in the current fiscal year, including capital expenditures.
The Company had working capital of $54,793,000 at January 31, 2026, compared to $64,651,000 at April 30, 2025. The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 2.1-to-1.0 at January 31, 2026, compared to 2.2-to-1.0 at April 30, 2025.
The Company's operating activities provided cash of $13,173,000 during the nine months ended January 31, 2026. Net cash provided by operating activities was primarily driven by operations and decreases in receivables of $8.2 million, partially offset
21
by decreases in accounts payable and other accrued expenses of $5.4 million, and decreases in deferred revenue of $2.0 million. During the nine months ended January 31, 2026, the Company used net cash of $3,009,000 in investing activities related to capital expenditures. The Company's financing activities used net cash of $16,376,000 during the nine months ended January 31, 2026, primarily related to the servicing of the Company's long-term debt arrangements and the payment of employee taxes withheld for stock-based compensation. Additionally, on December 4, 2025, the Company entered into a First Amendment to Loan Agreement with PNC and completed the Seller Note Repayment. See Note H, Long-term Debt and Other Credit Arrangements, for more details.
Outlook
The Company's ability to predict future demand for its products continues to be limited given its role as subcontractor or supplier to dealers for subcontractors. Demand for the Company's products is also dependent upon the number of laboratory construction projects planned and/or current progress in projects already under construction. The Company's earnings are also impacted by fluctuations in prevailing pricing for projects in the laboratory construction marketplace and costs of raw materials, including steel, wood, and epoxy resin.
Kewaunee's third quarter results for fiscal year 2026 align with the expectations previously communicated regarding volatility in project delivery timeliness and with historical trends, whereby the Company's third quarters are often impacted by the holiday schedule in the United States, a general slowdown of construction schedules in the winter months, and customers looking to wrap up construction projects prior to calendar year-end. This trend was further exacerbated by significant geopolitical and economic uncertainty. However, the softness of the construction-related portion of Kewaunee's business has been offset by the addition of Nu Aire's end-user containment products, validating the Company's ongoing growth and diversification strategy.
The Company remains committed to its focus on growth and continuing strategic investments in the people, processes, and technology that will support and enable this growth in a sustainable manner.

Item 5. Other Information
Securities Trading Plans of Directors and Executive Officers
Transactions in the Company's securities by its directors or executive officers are required to be made in accordance with its Insider Trading Policy, which, among other things, requires that the transaction be in accordance with applicable U.S. federal securities laws that prohibit trading while in the possession of material nonpublic information.
