National Presto Industries, Inc. reported third‑quarter 2025 financial results, showing a 56% year‑over‑year revenue increase to $68.8 million. Operating income rose to $9.1 million and adjusted EBITDA climbed to $15.4 million, reflecting a 22.3% margin.
Revenue growth was driven primarily by the Defense segment, which benefited from increased backlog shipments and new government contracts. The Housewares/Small Appliance segment continued to experience operating losses due to tariff‑related cost increases, while the Safety segment remained a small, loss‑making unit.
Gross margin for the quarter was 36.25%, up from 32.5% in the same period last year, supported by higher defense sales and cost‑control measures in the Housewares segment. However, the company noted that tariff expenses remain a significant headwind.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $24.7 million, underscoring strong cash generation.
National Presto raised its full‑year revenue guidance to $268–$272 million and adjusted EBITDA guidance to $71–$74 million, reflecting confidence in continued demand for its defense products and the ability to scale its operations. The company also increased its capital expenditure plan by $10 million and expanded its credit facility to maintain liquidity.
Management emphasized that the company is investing in new defense product lines and expanding its safety segment, while working to mitigate tariff impacts on the housewares business.
