# Quanex Building Products Reports Q2 FY2026: Revenue $462.4M, Adj. EPS $0.25

Quanex Building Products reported second-quarter fiscal 2026 net sales of $462.4 million and adjusted diluted EPS of $0.25. The company posted GAAP net income of $3.4 million (diluted EPS $0.07) and adjusted EBITDA of $44.2 million for the quarter. Management cited rapid inflationary cost pressure and tariff-related impacts that compressed margins but said volumes tracked normal seasonality and working-capital actions avoided net borrowing for the quarter.

**Financial Highlights**

-   Net sales: $462.4 million for the three months ended April 30, 2026 (up from $452.5 million in Q2 2025).
-   Gross profit: $117.8 million; gross margin: 25.5% for the quarter.
-   Operating income: $18.7 million for the quarter.
-   Net income (GAAP): $3.4 million; diluted EPS: $0.07 for the quarter.
-   Adjusted net income: $11.3 million; adjusted diluted EPS: $0.25; adjusted EBITDA: $44.2 million (Adjusted EBITDA margin 9.6%).

**Business Highlights**

-   Revenue mix: Hardware Solutions and Extruded Solutions each recorded modest net sales increases; Custom Solutions grew net sales by 6.6% year-over-year driven by higher volume and improved pricing.
-   Price and cost dynamics: Rapid inflation and higher transportation and raw material costs (partly tied to the Middle East conflict) created an unfavorable price versus cost timing lag; company is addressing surcharges and index pricing to recover shortfalls in H2.
-   Working capital & liquidity: Continued working-capital execution and seasonal volume increases prevented the company from becoming a net borrower in the quarter despite seasonal expectations; liquidity stood at $328.6 million (including $63.7 million cash on hand plus revolver availability less letters of credit).
-   Debt and leverage: Total debt was $715.0 million as of April 30, 2026, with Net Debt of $651.4 million and Net Debt to LTM Adjusted EBITDA of 3.1x.
-   Operational focus: Management plans to prioritize debt repayment and opportunistic share repurchases as cash is generated, while targeting operational efficiencies and commercial synergies to position for demand recovery.
