CTS Corporation reported a net sales increase of 7.0% for the second quarter of 2026, reaching $144.8 million compared to $135.3 million in the same period last year. For the first half of 2026, net sales totaled $284.0 million, an 8.8% rise from $261.1 million in the first half of 2025. The growth was driven by strong performance in the medical and industrial markets, which saw increases of 45.4% and 15.8%, respectively. However, sales in the aerospace and defense sector declined due to the timing of contract awards, while transportation sales decreased slightly by 2.3%.

The company's gross margin improved significantly, rising to 41.5% in the second quarter of 2026 from 38.7% in the prior year, attributed to a favorable sales mix and operational efficiencies. Operating earnings for the second quarter increased by 17.9% to $26.8 million, while net earnings rose 3.4% to $19.2 million. The effective tax rate for the quarter was 27.0%, up from 19.4% in the previous year, primarily due to the establishment of valuation allowances against certain tax credits.

CTS also reported strategic developments, including the promotion of Pratik Trivedi to President and CEO, effective July 6, 2026, succeeding Kieran O’Sullivan, who will remain as Executive Chair. The company continues to focus on expanding its product offerings and enhancing its market presence, particularly in the medical and industrial sectors, which are expected to drive future growth.

Operationally, CTS's cash and cash equivalents increased to $107.5 million as of June 30, 2026, up from $82.3 million at the end of 2025. The company maintained a long-term debt of $55.0 million, down from $57.5 million at the end of the previous year. Cash flows from operating activities were $50.7 million for the first half of 2026, compared to $43.9 million in the same period of 2025, reflecting improved operational efficiency.

Looking ahead, CTS anticipates continued growth driven by demand in its diversified end markets, although it remains cautious about potential challenges such as market volatility and supply chain disruptions. The company is committed to investing in product development and operational improvements to sustain its competitive edge and enhance shareholder value.
