LSI Industries Inc. reported a net sales increase of 14% for the first quarter of fiscal 2026, reaching $157.2 million compared to $138.1 million in the same period last year. The Lighting segment saw a significant rise in sales, up 18% to $69.1 million, attributed to the launch of new products and successful account conversions. The Display Solutions segment also experienced growth, with sales climbing 11% to $88.2 million, bolstered by strong demand in the refueling and grocery markets, as well as contributions from the recent acquisition of Canada’s Best Holdings, which added $8.9 million to sales.
Operating income for the quarter was $11.0 million, a 20% increase from $9.1 million in the prior year. Adjusted operating income, a non-GAAP measure, rose 18% to $14.1 million. The growth in operating income was driven by increased sales across both segments, improved pricing strategies, and effective cost management. The company reported a net income of $7.3 million, up from $6.7 million a year earlier, with diluted earnings per share increasing to $0.23 from $0.22.
In terms of operational metrics, LSI Industries reported a working capital of $112.4 million as of September 30, 2025, compared to $96.8 million at the end of the previous fiscal year. The company’s cash and cash equivalents increased to $7.1 million, up from $3.5 million at the end of June 2025. Accounts receivable rose to $114.8 million, reflecting strong sales but also an increase in days sales outstanding (DSO) to 65 days, up from 57 days, due to delays in project billing for a large customer.
Strategically, LSI Industries completed the acquisition of Canada’s Best Holdings in March 2025 for $25.9 million, which is expected to enhance its product offerings in retail fixtures and custom store design solutions. The acquisition has already contributed positively to the company’s financial performance. The company also amended its credit facility to a $125 million revolving line of credit, providing additional liquidity for operational and capital needs. Looking ahead, LSI Industries anticipates continued growth driven by new product introductions and market demand, while maintaining a focus on cost management and operational efficiency.
