Financials Breakdown Chart

Key Financial Trends

Acme United’s latest quarter showed a mixed picture: revenue and net income were modestly positive, but operating cash flow was sharply negative because working capital consumed cash. The company also leaned on new debt to help fund its activities, while continuing to pay dividends.

  • Revenue continued to grow year over year. Q1 2026 revenue rose to $52.3 million from $45.96 million in Q1 2025, showing demand is still trending higher.
  • Gross profit improved in dollar terms. Q1 2026 gross profit reached $20.8 million versus $17.9 million a year ago, reflecting stronger sales volume.
  • The company remained profitable. Q1 2026 net income was $985,000, compared with $1.65 million in Q1 2025 and $1.66 million in Q1 2024, so earnings were positive despite the softer quarter.
  • Balance sheet equity increased. Total common equity rose to $116.7 million at March 31, 2026, up from $108.3 million a year earlier.
  • Cash balance improved quarter over quarter. Cash and equivalents increased to $4.2 million in Q1 2026 from $3.6 million in Q2 2025 and $3.4 million in Q1 2025.
  • Acme has been pursuing acquisitions. Q1 2026 included $14.4 million of acquisition spending, following periodic deal activity in prior quarters. This could support growth, but it also adds execution risk.
  • Depreciation and amortization remain meaningful. These non-cash charges continue to run above $2.0 million combined per quarter, which is typical for an asset- and acquisition-driven business.
  • The company continues to return cash to shareholders. Dividends have remained steady at about $0.15 to $0.16 per share in recent quarters.
  • Leverage remains a key part of the capital structure. Long-term debt rose to $33.0 million in Q1 2026 from $16.4 million in Q2 2025 and $20.4 million in Q1 2025, reflecting heavier financing needs.
  • Operating cash flow turned negative in Q1 2026. The company used $2.2 million in operating cash, versus positive operating cash flow in the prior-year quarter.
  • Working capital was a major cash drain. Changes in operating assets and liabilities used $5.6 million in Q1 2026, which was the main reason operating cash flow fell below zero.
  • Investing cash outflows were very large. Acquisitions and capex drove $16.3 million of investing outflow in Q1 2026, far above earnings-generated cash.
  • Debt financing was used to offset cash burn. The company issued $21.2 million of debt in Q1 2026, suggesting core cash generation was not enough to fund operations and investing needs.
  • Profitability is down versus prior-year quarters. Q1 2026 net income of $985,000 was well below Q1 2025’s $1.65 million and Q2 2025’s $4.75 million, indicating some earnings pressure.

Bottom line: Acme United is still growing revenue and staying profitable, but the latest quarter raised a caution flag on cash generation. Investors should watch whether acquisition spending and working-capital swings start translating into stronger earnings and, more importantly, sustainable free cash flow.
