Gencor Releases Third Quarter Fiscal 2026 Results
ORLANDO, Fla., Aug. 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Gencor Industries, Inc. (the “Company” or “Gencor”) (NYSE American: GENC) announced today net revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 of $33,805,000 compared with $26,986,000 net revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2025. The increase in net revenue was primarily due to an increase in contract equipment revenues recognized over time and associated freight revenue. As a percent of net revenue, gross profit margins increased 140 basis points to 27.9% in the quarter ended June 30, 2026, compared to 26.5% in the quarter ended June 30, 2025.
Product engineering and development expenses decreased $61,000 to $680,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, as compared to $741,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 due to lower headcount. Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses decreased $313,000 to $2,952,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, compared to $3,265,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 primarily due to reduced professional services expenses.
Operating income increased 85.0%, or $2,665,000, from $3,137,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 to $5,802,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, primarily due to higher gross profits and lower SG&A expenses. Operating margin was 17.2% for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 compared with 11.6% for the quarter ended June 30, 2025.
For the quarter ended June 30, 2026, the Company had net other income of $1,416,000, compared to $2,036,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2025. Interest and dividend income, net of fees, was $1,176,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 2026 as compared to $1,142,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 2025. The net realized and unrealized gains on marketable securities were $241,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, compared to net realized and unrealized gains of $894,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2025. The decline in net realized and unrealized gains was due to slightly higher interest rates.
The Company’s effective income tax rate was reduced to 21% for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, based on an expected annual effective income tax rate of 24%, compared to prior income tax rate of 26% for the quarter ended June 30, 2025.
Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 increased $1,855,000, or 48.5%, to $5,683,000, or $0.39 basic and diluted net income per common share, from $3,828,000, or $0.26 basic and diluted net income per common share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2025. The higher net income resulted primarily from the impact of higher net revenues, improved margins and lower SG&A expenses, offset by lower net non-operating income.
Net revenue for the nine months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 were $91,180,000 and $96,606,000, respectively. The decrease of $5,426,000, or 5.6%, was primarily due to delayed timing of orders in the quarters ended December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2026.
At June 30, 2026, the Company had $164.2 million of cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities compared to $136.3 million at September 30, 2025. Net working capital was $211.3 million at June 30, 2026 compared to $197.7 million at September 30, 2025. The Company had no short-term or long-term debt outstanding at June 30, 2026.
The Company’s backlog was $79.2 million at June 30, 2026 compared to $26.2 million at June 30, 2025.
Marc Elliott, Gencor’s President and Chairman of the Board, commented, “Gencor’s third quarter revenue and profits exceeded our expectations, reflecting our strong manufacturing execution and effective cost management of our overall Operations. Our showing at the recent Conexpo-Con/Agg, coupled with the continued industry momentum, contributed to our record $79.2 million backlog. As remaining IIJA funding obligations continue to flow to states, and optimism surrounds the proposed Build America 250 highway funding bill, we believe we are well-positioned for sustainable performance throughout the remainder of the current fiscal year and into fiscal 2027.”
