Pre-tax earnings for the quarter were $3,453,000 compared to $3,931,000 for the prior year quarter, a decrease of 12.2%. Net earnings were $2,445,000 compared to net earnings of $3,008,000 for the prior year quarter. EBITDA1 for the quarter was $5,790,000 compared to $4,883,000 for the prior year quarter. Diluted earnings per share were $0.82 compared to diluted earnings per share of $1.01 in the prior year quarter. The Company's order backlog was $192.9 million on October 31, 2025, as compared to $184.4 million on October 31, 2024, and $214.6 million on April 30, 2025. **Domestic Segment** - Domestic sales for the quarter were $55,224,000, an increase of 51.7% from sales of $36,409,000 in the prior year quarter. Domestic segment net earnings were $3,597,000 compared to $4,524,000 in the prior year quarter. Domestic segment EBITDA was $6,712,000 compared to $6,838,000 for the prior year quarter. Segment profitability was impacted during the period by lower manufacturing volumes across the laboratory construction portion of the business, offset by the addition of Nu Aire, Inc. ("Nu Aire"), who had a strong quarter. **International Segment** - International sales for the quarter were $14,872,000, an increase of 31.0% from sales of $11,355,000 in the prior year quarter. International segment net earnings were $641,000 compared to $356,000 in the prior year quarter. International segment EBITDA was $860,000 compared to $592,000 for the prior year quarter. International sales increased when compared to the prior year period due to the continued delivery of large projects that were booked in prior periods, a trend that continues from the Company's first quarter fiscal year 2026 results. **Corporate Segment** – Corporate segment pre-tax net loss was $2,515,000 for the quarter, as compared to a pre-tax net loss of $2,444,000 in the prior year quarter. Corporate segment EBITDA for the quarter was ($1,782,000) compared to corporate segment EBITDA of ($2,547,000) for the prior year quarter. Corporate segment EBITDA improved year over year, largely driven by the inclusion of $1,540,000 of costs in the prior year period results directly related to the acquisition of Nu Aire, Inc., which closed on November 1, 2024. In the current year period, the Company also incurred costs related to its strategic investment in its Corporate platform. These ongoing strategic investments in people, processes, and technology are intended to continue building out the Company's Corporate platform to support future anticipated growth. Total cash on hand on October 31, 2025, was $13,679,000, as compared to $17,164,000 on April 30, 2025. Working capital was $67,830,000, as compared to $59,965,000 at the end of the second quarter last year and $64,651,000 on April 30, 2025. The Company had short-term debt of $4,914,000 as of October 31, 2025, as compared to $4,773,000 on April 30, 2025. Long-term debt was $58,164,000 on October 31, 2025, as compared to $60,730,000 on April 30, 2025. The building lease from the Company's December 2021 sale-leaseback transaction accounts for $26,205,000 of the long-term debt on October 31, 2025, and $26,632,000 of the long-term debt on April 30, 2025. Long-term debt, net of the sale-leaseback transaction, was $31,959,000 on October 31, 2025, as compared to $34,098,000 on April 30, 2025. The Company's debt-to-equity ratio on October 31, 2025, was 0.88-to-1, as compared to 0.99-to-1 on April 30, 2025. The Company's debt-to-equity ratio, net of the sale-leaseback transaction, on October 31, 2025, was 0.50-to-1, as compared to 0.57-to-1 on April 30, 2025. "As discussed in our prior earnings release, we expect volatility in project delivery timelines for the balance of the fiscal year and we saw that begin in quarter 2," said Thomas D. Hull III, Kewaunee's President and Chief Executive Officer. "Our quoting and booking activity remain strong, which is reflected in our backlog that remains near record levels, specifically for our Domestic segment. Nu Aire had strong financial performance in the quarter, which helped to offset this volatility in the legacy business, which is more tied to the construction market. This dynamic illustrates our strategy, which we recently launched with the acquisition of Nu Aire, to diversify through well-targeted acquisitions. This strategy will also allow us to provide a broader set of laboratory solutions to the market." "While we still expect volatility in project delivery timing for the balance of this fiscal year," Hull continued, "we remain confident in the demand for our products and the strength of the markets we serve. Our current quoting activity gives us confidence that our backlog will remain strong through the end of the fiscal year, setting the company up for continuing success in fiscal 2027. Kewaunee's early repayment of the Seller Notes strengthens our balance sheet, positions us for further inorganic growth, and underscores our commitment to long-term value creation." \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ 1 EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure.

Adjusted net earnings represents GAAP net earnings adjusted for professional and other fees related to the integration of the Company's newly acquired subsidiary, Nu Aire, Inc., and the corresponding tax impact. This financial information is not in accordance with, or an alternative for, GAAP-compliant financial information and may be different from the operating or non-GAAP financial information used by other companies. The Company believes that this presentation of adjusted net earnings and adjusted net earnings per share provides useful information to investors regarding certain additional financial and business trends relating to its financial condition and results of operations. EBITDA and Segment EBITDA are calculated as net earnings (loss), less interest expense and interest income, income taxes, depreciation, and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Segment EBITDA are calculated as EBITDA or Segment EBITDA less the impact of the professional and other fees related to the Company's integration of its newly acquired subsidiary, Nu Aire, Inc., as discussed in more detail above. We believe EBITDA, Segment EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted Segment EBITDA allow management and investors to compare our performance to other companies on a consistent basis without regard to interest expense and interest income, income taxes, depreciation, amortization or the costs incurred related to the integration of Nu Aire, Inc., which can vary significantly between companies depending upon many factors. EBITDA, Segment EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted Segment EBITDA are not calculations based upon generally accepted accounting principles, and the method for calculating EBITDA, Segment EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted Segment EBITDA can vary among companies. The amounts included in the EBITDA, Segment EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted Segment EBITDA calculations, however, are derived from amounts included in the historical consolidated statements of operations. EBITDA, Segment EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted Segment EBITDA should not be considered as alternatives to net earnings (loss) or operating earnings (loss) as an indicator of the Company's operating performance, or as an alternative to operating cash flows as a measure of liquidity. _About Kewaunee Scientific_ Founded in 1906, Kewaunee Scientific Corporation is a recognized global leader in the design, manufacture, and installation of laboratory, healthcare, and technical furniture products.
