Satellite and Deep Space Programs Drive 25% Increase in Orders

LOUISVILLE, Ky.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 18, 2026-- Sypris Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq/GM: SYPR) today reported financial results for its second quarter ended July 5, 2026.

HIGHLIGHTS

• Orders increased 25% sequentially for the Company, driven by a 54% increase in bookings at Sypris Electronics for satellite and deep space programs, and subsea fiber-optic data network systems.
• Orders for energy products remained strong during the period, resulting in a 12% increase in bookings for the first half of 2026 when compared to the prior-year period.
• Revenue for Sypris Technologies increased 5.6% year over year and 19.9% sequentially, driven by the resurgent expansion of the commercial vehicle market and strong energy product sales.
• Gross profit for Sypris Technologies increased 28% year over year and 94% sequentially, reflecting an improvement in margins of 330 and 710 basis points, respectively.
• Revenue for Sypris Electronics increased 15.4% sequentially, with the outlook for the balance of the year poised for substantial additional growth driven by robust orders and improved material availability.

“The escalation of geopolitical conflicts in the Middle East has accelerated demand for inventory replenishment and critical technology upgrades, thereby placing a premium on rapid, efficient scaling,” commented Jeffrey T. Gill, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Sypris Electronics, with its advanced production capabilities, deep technical expertise and strong market position, is uniquely equipped to capitalize on these dynamics. While material availability and a series of temporary operational headwinds impacted our performance during the first half of 2026, we are actively resolving these challenges to unlock our full earnings potential going forward.

“Orders for our energy products increased 12% year over year in the first half of 2026, with strong backlog and expected orders on several large projects. Additional growth opportunities may emerge from new global initiatives addressing rising LNG demand and the massive surge in electricity required by AI-related data centers. Furthermore, we are actively pursuing applications for our products in adjacent markets including carbon capture and defense applications to further diversify our industry and customer portfolios.

“As we cross the midpoint of 2026, the North American commercial vehicle market has transitioned into what may prove to be an extended expansion cycle, reflecting increasing fleet profitability, accelerating freight rates and rising infrastructure demand.”

Second Quarter Results

The Company reported revenue of $30.3 million for the second quarter of 2026, compared to $31.4 million for the prior-year comparable period. Additionally, the Company reported a net loss of $3.1 million, or $0.14 per share, compared with a net loss of $2.1 million, or $0.09 per share, for the prior-year period. Results for the second quarter of 2026 included $2.1 million in abnormally high expenses for healthcare, unabsorbed overhead, foreign exchange variances, charges for scrap and accruals for excess and obsolete inventory as compared to the prior-year period.

For the six months ended July 5, 2026, the Company reported revenue of $56.2 million compared to $60.9 million for the first half of 2025. The Company reported a net loss of $7.2 million compared with a net loss of $3.0 million for the prior-year period. Results for the six months ended July 5, 2026, included $4.5 million in increased expenses for healthcare, unabsorbed overhead, foreign exchange variances, charges for scrap and accruals for excess and obsolete inventory as compared to the prior-year period.

Sypris Technologies

Revenue for Sypris Technologies was $14.9 million in the second quarter of 2026 compared to $14.1 million for the prior-year period, reflecting strong energy product sales. Additionally, the commercial vehicle market began to rebound during the second quarter from the cyclical decline experienced over the prior year. Gross profit for the second quarter of 2026 was $2.7 million, or 18.5% of revenue, compared to $2.1 million, or 15.2% of revenue, for the same period in 2025. Gross profit for the second quarter of 2026 was positively impacted by the increase in volumes, partially offset by a $0.5 million unfavorable impact from foreign currency exchange rates for our Mexican subsidiary.

Sypris Electronics

Revenue for Sypris Electronics was $15.5 million in the second quarter of 2026 compared to $17.3 million for the prior-year period as a result of material availability issues in addition to customer design changes on certain new programs, which pushed out delivery dates. Gross profit for the second quarter of 2026 was a loss of $0.8 million, or (4.9%) of revenue, compared to $0.4 million, or 2.5% of revenue, for the same period in 2025. Material availability issues have delayed certain customer deliveries, limited our ability to ramp up production in response to customer demand for certain products and have caused out-of-sequence manufacturing, which increases costs and decreases operational efficiency. Additionally, gross profit for the second quarter of 2026 reflected the impact of $0.7 million of charges for excess and obsolete inventory taken during the period.

Outlook

Commenting on the future, Mr. Gill added, “We expect the challenging operating environment to improve as we move through 2026. Backed by our robust backlog and recent program wins, we are optimistic that the balance of the year will reflect both accelerating top line growth and vastly improved operational performance.”

Briefly, we currently believe that such risks also include the following: the fees, costs and supply of, or access to, debt, equity capital, or other sources of liquidity; the termination or non-renewal of existing contracts by customers; our failure to achieve and maintain profitability on a timely basis by steadily increasing our revenues from profitable contracts with a diversified group of customers, which would cause us to continue to use existing cash resources or require us to sell assets to fund operating losses; volatility of our customers’ forecasts and our contractual obligations to meet current scheduling demands and production levels, which may negatively impact our operational capacity and our effectiveness to integrate new customers or suppliers, and in turn cause increases in our inventory and working capital levels; cost, quality and availability or lead times of raw materials such as steel, component parts (especially electronic components), natural gas or utilities including increased cost relating to inflation, as well as the impact of existing or future tariffs, trade restrictions or other changes in trade policy imposed by the United States or foreign governments; our reliance on a few key customers, third party vendors and sub-suppliers; significant delays or reductions due to a prolonged continuing resolution or U.S. government shutdown reducing the spending on products and services that Sypris Electronics provides; risks of foreign operations, including foreign currency exchange rate risk exposure, which could impact our operating results; the cost, quality, timeliness, efficiency and yield of our operations and capital investments, including the impact of inflation, tariffs, product recalls or related liabilities, employee training, working capital, production schedules, cycle times, scrap rates, injuries, wages, overtime costs, freight or expediting costs; inventory valuation risks including excessive or obsolescent valuations or price erosions of raw materials or component parts on hand or other potential impairments, non-recoverability or write-offs of assets or deferred costs; our failure to successfully complete final contract negotiations with regard to our announced contract “orders”, “wins” or “awards”; our ability to maintain compliance with the Nasdaq listing standards, including without limitation minimum closing bid price and stockholders’ equity; our failure to successfully win new business or develop new or improved products or new markets for our products; war, geopolitical conflict, terrorism, or political instability, international tensions or other disruptions, such as the conflicts involving Russia and Ukraine, Israel and Hamas, the U.S., Israel and Iran, and other developments in the Middle East, including those arising out of international sanctions, foreign currency fluctuations and other economic impacts; adverse impacts of new technologies or other competitive pressures which increase our costs or erode our margins; the costs and supply of insurance on acceptable terms and with adequate coverage; unanticipated or uninsured product liability claims, disasters, public health crises, losses or business risks; breakdowns, relocations or major repairs of machinery and equipment, especially in our Toluca Plant; the costs of compliance with our auditing, regulatory or contractual obligations; pension valuation, health care or other benefit costs; dependence on, retention or recruitment of key employees and highly skilled personnel and distribution of our human capital; our reliance on revenues from customers in the oil and gas and automotive markets, with increasing consumer pressure for reductions in environmental impacts attributed to greenhouse gas emissions and increased vehicle fuel economy; labor relations; strikes; union negotiations; disputes or litigation involving governmental, supplier, customer, employee, creditor, stockholder, premises liability, personal injury, product liability, warranty or environmental claims; failure to adequately insure or to identify product liability, environmental or other insurable risks; costs associated with environmental or other claims relating to properties previously owned; our inability to patent or otherwise protect our inventions or other intellectual property rights from potential competitors or fully exploit such rights which could materially affect our ability to compete in our chosen markets;
