NPK cuts 2026 guidance after Q3 revenue rises 11% despite Texas dry weather

Mixed Impact 4 of 5 guidance Written later

NPK International reported third quarter 2026 revenue of $76.3 million, up 11%, and Adjusted EBITDA of $20.0 million, up 30%, while GAAP diluted EPS from continuing operations was flat at $0.07. The company lowered its full-year 2026 guidance, citing exceptionally dry weather in Texas that hurt matting demand, so the revenue growth came with a weaker outlook for shareholders.

Key points

  • Q3 2026 revenue was $76.3 million, up 11% from $68.8 million, while income from continuing operations was $6.3 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, the same as the prior year.
  • Full-year 2026 guidance: revenues of $300 million to $305 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $90 million to $93 million, with the company citing a lower full-year outlook.
  • Adjusted EBITDA margin was 26.2%, up 390 basis points, while operating margin fell to 12.0% from 13.2%.
  • The company repurchased $13.4 million of common stock in the third quarter and had $76 million remaining under its authorization.
