Insteel Industries reported a strong financial performance for the fourth quarter of 2025, with net earnings significantly increasing to $14.6 million compared to $4.7 million in the same period the previous year. This growth was fueled by improved pricing strategies and higher shipment volumes, despite facing increased administrative costs.
The company’s net sales rose by 32.1% to $177.4 million, driven by a 20.3% increase in average selling prices and a 9.8% rise in shipment volumes. Gross profit also saw a substantial improvement, reaching $28.6 million, which reflects favorable market conditions and strategic pricing actions. However, operating activities resulted in a cash outflow due to changes in net working capital.
For the fiscal year 2025, Insteel Industries achieved net earnings of $41.0 million, a significant increase from $19.3 million in the previous year, despite incurring restructuring and acquisition-related costs. The company ended the year with a strong balance sheet, maintaining a debt-free status and a cash balance of $38.6 million.
Looking ahead, Insteel Industries remains cautiously optimistic about its prospects for 2026, with expectations of stable market conditions and continued contributions from recent acquisitions.
