Financial Statements of RELL

5Y Trend (Revenue, Earnings, FCF)

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).	$228.6M	+9.4%	+19.3%
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.	$6.4M	+658.4%	+314.6%
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.	+31.2%	+0.6%	-2.1%
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).	+2.8%	+339.9%	+114.9%
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.	+2.8%	+610.4%	+247.4%
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.	$-3.6M	-146.8%	-39.7%
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.	-1.6%	-142.8%	-17.0%
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.	0.8%	-41.6%	-13.6%
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.	4.75x	+5.3%	+5.7%
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.	$202.0M	+3.2%	+1.1%

Q4 2026

Unknown Speaker

Operator : Good day, and welcome to the Richardson Electronics earnings call for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2026. [Operator Instructions] Please be advised that today's conference is being recorded. It is now my pleasure to introduce CEO and Chairman of the Board, Ed Richardson. Edward Richardson : Good morning, and thank you all for joining Richardson Electronics' conference call for the fourth quarter and full fiscal year of 2026. We appreciate your continued support and interest in Richardson Electronics. Joining me today are Bob Ben, Chief Financial Officer; Wendy Diddell, Chief Operating Officer; Greg Peloquin, General Manager of our Power and Microwave Technologies and Green Energy Solutions Groups; and Jens Ruppert, General Manager of Canvys. As a reminder, this call is being recorded and will be available for playback. I would also like to remind you that we are making forward-looking statements, and they're based on current expectations and involve risks and uncertainties. Therefore, our actual results could be materially different. Please refer to our press release and SEC filings for an explanation of our risk factors. I'm pleased to report that Richardson Electronics delivered both a strong fourth quarter and finished the fiscal year 2026. While Bob will provide the detailed financial review shortly, I want to begin by highlighting the broader message from the year. We delivered significant year-over-year revenue growth, improved gross margin, and strengthened our operating performance. Those results reflect continued execution of the multi-year strategy we've discussed with you over the past few quarters. Our performance was not driven by a single product line, customer, or end market. We saw strength across all three of our business units from both new and existing customers. Power and Microwave Technologies continued to benefit from demand in semi-fab equipment, defense, healthcare, and other industrial applications. Green Energy Solutions continue to advance programs tied to wind, EV, power conversion, and other power management markets. Canvys remained an important and profitable part of the company with customized display solutions serving medical, industrial, and other specialized OEM customers. Importantly, we also made progress in improving the quality of our revenue. We continue to align our strategic focus on pursuing higher-value engineered solutions, repeatable sales opportunities, and customer programs where our technical knowledge, application engineering, global sourcing capabilities, and inventory position create real value. The more profitable mix of business together with operating disciplines supported the margin process we achieved during the year. We've also continued to invest in our current and emerging opportunities with Green Energy Solutions, and we are now advancing our efforts around battery energy storage. We believe this is a natural extension of our capabilities in power conversion and …
