Year-to-date net sales reached $17.89 million, marking a 9.71% rise from $16.31 million in the prior year.

Operating expenses rose to $1.25 million for the quarter, compared to $1.10 million in the same period last year, primarily due to increased commissions and labor costs.

Earnings per share for the quarter were reported at $0.51, up from $0.33.

In terms of operational developments, the company reported an increase in accounts receivable, which rose by $224,000 due to higher sales and delays in collections from larger customers. Inventories also increased by $831,000, primarily due to replenishing raw material levels and rising costs associated with tariffs and labor. The company continues to focus on improving operational efficiency, including exploring automation and reconfiguring production workflows. Additionally, George Risk Industries is actively pursuing new product development, including wireless technology and high-security sensors, to enhance its product offerings.

The company’s total assets increased to $68.36 million as of January 31, 2026, up from $63.34 million a year earlier. This growth was driven by an increase in investments and securities, which rose to $41.32 million from $35.74 million. The company’s cash and cash equivalents decreased to $4.46 million, down from $6.47 million, reflecting cash outflows related to dividends and stock repurchases. The company declared dividends of $4.47 million during the nine months, consistent with the previous year.

Looking ahead, George Risk Industries anticipates continued growth despite challenges such as managing product delivery timelines and rising material costs. The management remains optimistic about leveraging its strong cash position to explore potential acquisitions that align with its operational goals.
