Revenue rises 4.8 percent
According to Business Wire on September 21, 2026, total revenue increased by USD 6.4 million, or 4.8 percent, from the same quarter of the prior fiscal year. The release identified fiscal 2027 first-quarter adjusted net income of USD 9.7 million, equal to adjusted diluted EPS of USD 2.12.
GAAP net income for the quarter was USD 6.1 million, or USD 1.33 per diluted share. The difference between adjusted and GAAP earnings makes the earnings quality and adjustment details relevant for the next results update.
Calmes takes the CEO role
Business Wire reported that the board appointed John L. Calmes Jr. as president and chief executive officer effective September 21, 2026. Calmes previously served as executive vice president, chief financial and strategy officer, and treasurer.
The appointment gives the company a leadership handoff while fiscal 2027 second-quarter operations were already underway. Business Wire said Calmes reported strong results through two and a half months of the quarter, a statement that places execution alongside the leadership change.
