Smith-Midland Corporation reported a decline in financial performance for the second quarter and first half of 2026 compared to the same periods in 2025. For the three months ended June 30, 2026, the company generated total revenue of $23.4 million, down from $26.2 million in the prior year, marking an 11% decrease. Net income for the same period fell to $1.4 million, or $0.26 per share, compared to $4.2 million, or $0.79 per share, in the previous year. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, total revenue decreased to $44.9 million from $48.9 million, with net income dropping to $2.7 million from $7.5 million.

The decline in revenue is attributed primarily to the absence of significant special barrier projects that contributed to higher sales in the first half of 2025. While product sales increased slightly to $23.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, driven by growth in architectural panel and utility sales, this was offset by a substantial drop in barrier rental income, which fell to $5.4 million from $14.2 million. The company also experienced increased operating expenses, which rose to $3.4 million for the second quarter of 2026, compared to $2.3 million in the same quarter of 2025.

Operationally, Smith-Midland's sales backlog as of August 1, 2026, was approximately $57.4 million, an increase from $54 million a year earlier. The company anticipates that most of these projects will be produced within the next 12 months. The company is focusing on expanding its market presence, particularly in barrier rentals and utility products, in line with its long-term strategic objectives. Additionally, the company has been investing in manufacturing capacity and infrastructure improvements, with capital expenditures totaling $3.6 million for the first half of 2026.

Despite the challenges faced in the first half of 2026, Smith-Midland remains optimistic about future growth, particularly with expected funding from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. The company is also addressing material weaknesses in its internal controls over financial reporting, which were identified in previous assessments. Management is committed to improving these controls and has taken steps to enhance its accounting and information technology personnel, as well as to develop formal accounting policies and procedures.

Looking ahead, Smith-Midland expects to continue its focus on increasing sales and improving operational efficiency. The company plans to invest up to $9 million in 2026 for long-term growth initiatives, including expanding its manufacturing facilities and enhancing its barrier rental fleet. However, the company acknowledges that its future performance will depend on various factors, including market conditions, project timing, and the successful execution of its strategic initiatives.
