Forward-looking statements, 10-Q filed Nov 4, 2026

We expect these favorable trends to continue throughout the remainder of 2026 and expect net sales, gross margin and operating income for the full year 2026 to exceed 2025 levels.
At Security Products, we expect healthcare demand to remain strong, while government security sales are expected to remain slightly below prior year levels.
At Marine Components, we expect demand to remain driven primarily by the industrial market, while towboat market sales are expected to remain relatively consistent with prior year levels.
To support these favorable demand trends and anticipated growth opportunities, we are making targeted investments, primarily in our Marine Components Segment, to expand capacity, enhance operational capabilities and improve overall efficiency, including increased personnel levels and capital expenditures.
From time-to-time, we will incur indebtedness, primarily to fund capital expenditures or business combinations.
We expect our capital expenditures for 2026 will be approximately $5.2 million primarily to increase capacity through investments in manufacturing equipment, including new technologies and increased automation and for improvements to our manufacturing facilities.
