TAYLOR DEVICES ANNOUNCES FIRST QUARTER RESULTS
Taylor Devices reported FY27 Q1 sales of $7.3M, down 26% from $9.9M a year earlier, with net earnings falling to $456,933 ($0.14 EPS) from $2.19M ($0.70 EPS).
The CEO attributed the decline to timing: a record $52.8M backlog arrived late in FY26 Q4, pushing sales recognition out of the quarter, while product mix and R&D spending pressured margins.
Order intake was robust, lifting firm backlog to a record $55.2M; Structural markets face interest-rate and FX headwinds while Aerospace/Defense benefits from world unrest.
