KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa., Aug. 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Nocopi Technologies, Inc. ("Nocopi Technologies" or the "Company"; OTCQB: NNUP) is pleased to report fiscal 2026 second quarter results.
2026 Second Quarter Highlights
- Net sales increased 167% to approximately $0.96 million in the fiscal 2026 second quarter, in part due to our acquisition of the Polymeric business described below, versus $0.36 million in the fiscal 2025 second quarter.
- Gross profit increased to $0.36 million in the fiscal 2026 second quarter versus $0.19 million in the prior year second quarter.
- Net income (loss) was ($0.47) million, or ($0.04) per share for the fiscal 2026 second quarter versus net income of ($0.06) million, or ($.01) per share for the fiscal 2025 second quarter.
- Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was $0.3 million versus $0.46 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025
- Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the second quarter of 2026 were $10.69 million with no debt outstanding
Revenue and Gross Profit
For the three months ended June 30, 2026, total revenues were $0.96 million representing 167% growth compared to $0.36 in the same period last year. Product and other sales increased to $0.9 million from $0.22 in Q2 2025, driven by higher ink shipments to authorized printers serving two of the Company's major entertainment and toy products licensees, as well incremental product revenue from the Polymeric acquisition closed during the quarter.
The Company's gross profit increased to approximately $0.36 million or 37% of gross revenues, for the three months ended June 30, 2026 from approximately $0.19 million or 53% of gross revenues in the fiscal 2025 second quarter. The decrease in gross profit margin was largely a shift in revenue mix from an increased amount of product sales relative to higher margin license, royalties and fee revenue.
Total Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2026 were $0.93 million, as compared $0.36 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase in second quarter operating expenses was primarily due to one-time charges in legal fees and consulting fees related to the acquisition in the quarter.
Net Income
The Company reported a net loss of $0.47 million for Q2 2026, compared to a net loss of $0.06 million in the comparable 2025 period.
Management Commentary
During the quarter, the Company expanded existing operations with the acquisition of the business of the Polymeric Group, which we completed on May 18, 2026. Polymeric Group is a premier specialty ink and coatings manufacturer headquartered in Kansas City, Missouri. With over 30 years of continuous operation, the company has established itself as a trusted partner to a diversified customer base of long-tenured clients across screen printing, digital, and industrial coating segments.
"Polymeric Group represents exactly the kind of meaningful acquisition we are continuously looking to execute at Nocopi Technologies. They have a deeply talented leadership team, a strong embedded culture, and loyal customer relationships that we're committed to preserving and building upon," said Matthew C. Winger, Chairman. "We're highly focused on supporting their growth while maintaining the operational independence and entrepreneurial spirit that has made them successful. As we identify opportunities to expand the sale of products from our existing formula suite to new customers gained from the acquisition, as well as support other organic expansion, we're confident in delivering meaningful bottom-line results in the coming years."
Following the closing of the Polymeric acquisition, Company management is working on executing a disciplined operational roadmap anchored on three principles consisting of organic growth in existing markets, cost efficiency through platform leverage, and improved working capital management, as well as selective incremental capital investment on high return on investment opportunities to drive the Company's ability to generate meaningful free cash flow.
Operational Additions to Leadership Team
In support of the Company's expanded operational platform, management has added key executives to its leadership during the second quarter. These senior hires bring deep experience in manufacturing operations, supply chain optimization, and the financial integration of acquired businesses, capabilities essential to future execution of Nocopi's acquisition strategy at scale and represent the foundation for scaling the Company's operations.
Appointed earlier this year, Gregory S. Babe, Executive Director of Operations, brings over 40 years of leadership experience in global industrial conglomerates. His career is defined by a demonstrated ability to scale industrial technology companies and execute large-scale organizational integrations during high-growth phases. Earlier in his career, Mr. Babe served as Chief Executive Officer of Bayer Corporation, where he oversaw all North American activities of the worldwide Bayer Group, and as Chief Technology Officer of Matthews International (NASDAQ: MATW).
Additionally, the Company recently appointed Beth Vasy, Vice President of Growth, who brings extensive strategic and operational expertise in the specialty ink and advanced materials sectors. Prior to joining Nocopi, Ms. Vasy served as Vice President of Operations at Liquid X Printed Metals, a functional ink and printed electronics pioneer. Ms. Vasy holds an MBA from the Tepper School of Business at Carnegie Mellon University.
Together, these executives strengthen Nocopi's execution capability at a critical juncture. We believe Mr. Babe's proven track record scaling operations with discipline and Ms. Vasy's deep commercial expertise in specialty materials position the Company to accelerate integration activities, capture immediate market opportunities, and opportunistically pursue an expanded pipeline of acquisition targets as part of the Company's growth strategy.
Strong Balance Sheet Provides Execution Flexibility
As of June 30, 2026, the Company had over $10.6 million in cash and equivalents with no debt outstanding, providing substantial flexibility for both operational growth and additional strategic acquisition opportunities. The Company's balance sheet remained robust, with working capital of $12.7 million and total stockholders' equity of $14.4 million.
"Our financial position provides strategic flexibility," said Kevin C. Westenburg, President. "We remain very focused on optimizing our operations to maximize cash flow for our shareholders. It is our objective to achieve platform integration opportunities, high levels of customer service and product quality, as well as overall platform cost efficiencies, with the next 12- and 24-months as our targeted execution timeframe."
Strategic M&A Approach
Beyond Polymeric, management continues to actively evaluate additional acquisition opportunities as the second pillar of a multi-faceted growth approach. The core of the acquisition strategy revolves around identifying niche and durable, market-leadership businesses in specialty materials. Management is targeting high quality, established companies that have earned defensible competitive positions, loyal customer relationships, and exceptional teams within their vertical markets.
"We have a disciplined expansion playbook focused on acquiring durable market leaders in niche specialty materials. Our initial acquisition broadened our capabilities and expanded our footprint in a manner highly complementary to our existing operations. As we pursue additional pipeline opportunities, we remain steadfast in acquiring scalable, high-margin businesses that accelerate the Company's free cash flow generation and drive compounding long-term shareholder value," added Winger.
