| Metric | Latest | YoYYoY means Year-over-Year. It compares the latest annual value with the previous annual value to show long-term trend strength. | QoQQoQ means Quarter-over-Quarter. It compares the latest quarter with the immediately previous quarter to show short-term momentum changes. |
|---|---|---|---|
| RevenueThe total money that came through the front door from selling things, before paying a single bill. Think of it as the grand total of every credit card swipe from customers. (YoY compares this year to last year's performance, while QoQ compares the current three months to the previous three). | $485.6M | +11.0% | +7.3% |
| Net IncomeThe absolute bottom line. If the company paid every single supplier, employee, banker, and tax collector, this is the actual money left in their pocket at the end of the day. | $51.4M | +38.0% | +15.6% |
| Gross MarginThe basic markup. If they sell a $100 pair of sneakers, this percentage tells you how much of that price tag is profit right after paying for the rubber and shoelaces, but before paying for things like store rent or TV commercials. | +29.5% | +3.1% | -19.2% |
| Operating MarginThe 'day job' efficiency score. Out of every dollar a customer spends, this shows how many cents the company keeps after making the product AND paying for all the everyday corporate overhead (like salaries, marketing, and keeping the lights on). | +14.0% | +16.4% | +1.5% |
| Net MarginThe final take-home percentage. When you strip away every conceivable cost, tax, and interest payment, this is the exact number of cents the company truly gets to keep from every dollar in sales. | +10.6% | +24.4% | +7.7% |
| Free Cash FlowThe holy grail of corporate cash. It's the spendable, physical money left over after the business pays for its daily operations AND buys the big, expensive upgrades (like new factories or servers) it needs to survive. This is the 'free' money they can use to pay dividends or buy back stock. | $47.6M | +68.2% | +28.4% |
| FCF MarginThe ultimate cash conversion rate. It shows how good the company is at turning regular sales directly into cold, hard, spendable cash. A high percentage means the business is an absolute cash-printing machine. | +9.8% | +51.6% | +19.6% |
| Debt / EquityThe financial risk gauge. It compares how much of the company's empire was built using borrowed money (loans) versus the owners' own money (shareholders). A high number means they are heavily leveraged and playing a riskier game; a low number means they are playing it safe. | 21.3% | -36.6% | -6.3% |
| Current RatioThe 12-month survival check. It simply compares the cash they have right now (plus things they can quickly turn into cash) against the immediate bills they absolutely must pay this year. A score above 1 means they have enough in the wallet to cover the upcoming bills without panicking. | 2.56x | +16.2% | -5.1% |
| Total AssetsThe absolute size of the company's empire. It bundles together absolutely everything of value they own—from the cash in the register and the inventory in the warehouse, to the software patents in the vault and the factories on the ground. | $391.7M | +10.5% | +5.3% |
| Metric | Annual (A vs E) | Annual Surprise | Quarter (A vs E) | Quarter Surprise |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| EPS Surprise | 3.76 vs 3.52 | +7.0% | 1.00 vs 1.58 | -36.6% |

Operator: Good day, and thank you for standing by. Welcome to the Oil-Dri Corporation of America Q3 Fiscal 2026 Earnings Discussion via Webcast. . Please be advised that today's conference is being recorded. . I would now like to hand the conference over to your speaker today, Dan Jaffee, President and CEO. Daniel Jaffee: Thank you, and welcome, everyone. Before we get started, I'd like to introduce who is here today to field questions. We have Susan Kreh, CFO and CIO; Aaron Christiansen, VP of Operations; Chris Lamson, Group Vice President of business-to-business and Strategic Growth Initiatives; Wade Robey, VP of Agriculture and President of Amlan International; Heath Wessels, VP of Sales for North America, Amlan International; Laura Scheland, Vice President and General Manager of the Consumer Products Division; Bruce Patsey, VP of Fluids Purification; Mervyn de Souza, VP of Research and Development; Jon Blake, VP and Corporate Controller; Tony Parker, VP, General Counsel and Secretary; and last but not least, Leslie Garber, our Director of Investor Relations, who will walk us through our safe harbor provisions. Leslie Garber: Thank you, Dan, and welcome, everyone. On today's call, comments may contain forward-looking statements regarding the company's performance in future periods. Actual results in those periods may materially differ. In our press release and in our SEC filings, we highlight a number of important risk factors, trends and uncertainties that may affect our future performance. We ask that you review and consider those factors in evaluating the company's comments and in evaluating any investment in Oil-Dri stock. Thank you for joining us. Back to you, Dan. Daniel Jaffee: All right. Thank you, Leslie. Before I turn it over to Susan to walk us through the quarter, I'm going to cover some long-term macro trends that are developing for Oil-Dri, which are right in line with what we said. As you'll recall, if you followed us for this period of time, about 5 years ago, our operations team led by Aaron identified that we needed to dramatically improve our facilities if we're going to continue to give our customers the high quality and the service that they demand and deserve, frankly. And so I'm going to throw some numbers at you. If I lose you, you can always go back in the transcript later, and it will all be spelled out for you. But from fiscal '17 to fiscal '21, which is right before we announced this program, we averaged about $15 million in capital expense and about $13 million in depreciation. When COVID hit and the whole global supply chain got hammered, everything was costing twice as much to replace as what its historical cost was. So remember, $15 million in capital, $13 million in depreciation. These last 5 years, we have spent almost $32 million a year in capital, so double. But the depreciation because it's a lagging indicator has averaged $15.5 million. Now this year, if you project, you take the third quarter in the …
