Ultralife Q2 revenue dips 1.3% to $47.9 million as EPS rises to $0.15
Ultralife reported second-quarter 2026 revenue of $47.9 million, down 1.3% from $48.6 million a year earlier, while GAAP earnings per share rose to $0.15 from $0.05. Gross margin improved to 28.9% from 23.9%, helped by a $1.1 million net IEEPA tariff refund, and backlog reached $117.5 million, which the company said is the highest in its history. The mix of a sales decline alongside higher profit makes the quarter's results mixed for shareholders.
