NOGALES, Ariz., Aug. 07, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Alpha Pro Tech, Ltd. (NYSE American: APT), a leading manufacturer of products designed to protect people, products and environments, including disposable protective apparel and building products, today announced financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.
Lloyd Hoffman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Alpha Pro Tech, commented, "Despite continued weakness in the housing market in the second quarter of 2025, with single-family housing starts down 9.0% compared to the same quarter in 2024, we significantly outperformed the market as sales of our core building products (housewrap and synthetic roof underlayment), were a quarterly record, up 13.2% from the second quarter of 2024. Overall, the second quarter of 2025 was the second highest quarter on record for Building Supply segment sales.
Management expects further growth in the Building Supply segment in the second half of 2025 and is encouraged by the strong sales in the second quarter of 2025. However, there continues to be uncertainty in housing starts, volatility and uncertainty in the economy as well as a stronger than normal hurricane season in the latter part of 2024 which could affect this segment."
Mr. Hoffman continued, "Sales of disposable protective garments for the three months ended June 30, 2025 were down 11.3%, however, this is a challenging comparison as sales during the three months ended June 30, 2024 were the highest since the COVID-19 sales bump. Tariffs have added uncertainty and some volatility to the marketplace. We are seeing end-customers reducing and conserving their inventories in an effort to reduce overall spend.
Sales of face masks in the second quarter of 2025 continued to fall below management's expectations while we have seen a positive trend with sales of face shields. Face mask sales continue to be negatively affected by excessive purchases by one of our channel partners in the latter part of 2024. Demand from this channel partner started to improve at the end of the second quarter, which will potentially continue through the rest of 2025.
Our distribution partnerships across multiple distribution channels are strong with mutual desire to achieve organic growth. Our efforts to discover and partner with new channels in this segment have been productive, and we are pleased to bring on a few select, strategic regional players this past quarter."
2025 Second Quarter Financial Results:
Consolidated sales for the three months ended June 30, 2025, increased to $16.7 million, from $16.3 million, for the three months ended June 30, 2024, representing an increase of $383,000, or 2.4%.
Building Supply segment sales for the three months ended June 30, 2025, increased by $1.1 million, or 11.5%, to $11.1 million, compared to $9.9 million, for the three months ended June 30, 2024. This segment increase during the three months ended June 30, 2025, was primarily due to a 10.6% increase in sales of synthetic roof underlayment, a 17.0% increase in sales of housewrap and a 0.1% increase in sales of other woven material compared to the same period of 2024.
Disposable Protective Apparel segment sales for the three months ended June 30, 2025, decreased by $760,000, or 12.0%, to $5.6 million, compared to $6.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. This segment decrease was due to an 11.3% decrease in sales of disposable protective garments and a 28.3% decrease in sales of face masks, partially offset by a 4.9% increase in sales of face shields.
Gross Profit
Gross profit decreased by $710,000, or 10.4%, to $6.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, from $6.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The gross profit margin was 36.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to 42.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2024.
The gross profit margin in the three months ended June 30, 2025, was negatively affected by a margin decrease primarily in the Disposable Protective Apparel segment. Gross profit margin in the Disposable Protective Apparel segment in 2025 was lower compared to the 2024 margin, which was higher than historical margins. In addition, gross profit margin has been negatively affected in 2025, primarily by higher sales rebates, ocean freight rates and to a lesser degree US tariffs. Management will be increasing selling prices starting in July 2025 to partially mitigate the impact of the new 2025 US tariffs, but it is expected that tariffs will have a negative effect on gross profit.
Net Income
Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2025, was $1.2 million, compared to net income of $1.6 million for the same period of 2024, representing a decrease of $400,000, or 24.3%. The net income decrease between the three months ended June 30, 2025 and the same period of 2024 was due to a decrease in income before provision for income taxes of $508,000, partially offset by a decrease in provision for income taxes of $108,000. Net income as a percentage of net sales was 7.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to 10.1% for the same period of 2024. Basic and diluted earnings per common share for each of the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, was $0.12 and $0.15, respectively.
Balance Sheet
As of June 30, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $14.5 million compared to $18.6 million as of December 31, 2024. Working capital totaled $47.5 million and the Company's current ratio was 17:1, compared to a current ratio of 16:1 as of December 31, 2024.
Colleen McDonald, Chief Financial Officer, commented, "As of June 30, 2025, we had $2.7 million available for additional stock purchases under our stock repurchase program. During the three months ended June 30, 2025, we repurchased 181,100 shares of common stock at a cost of $0.8 million.
