The Defense segment backlog stood at about $1.086 billion as of December 31, 2024, ensuring multi-year revenue visibility with expected fulfillment over the next 18–42 months (Quartz).
AMTEC Corporation, National Presto’s wholly owned defense subsidiary, secured $139.7 million in 40mm cartridge contracts in April 2025, boosting the segment’s production pipeline through 2029 (MarketScreener).
First-quarter 2025 net sales grew 35.2% year-over-year to $103.6 million, driven by a 47.1% increase in Defense segment shipments, highlighting effective backlog conversion and improved segment profitability (GuruFocus).
Q2 2025 EPS fell 15.2% year-over-year to $0.72 despite a 41.6% increase in sales, as higher Trump-era tariffs and a supplier bankruptcy pressured margins in the Housewares segment, resulting in an operating loss for that division (Zacks).
Cash and cash equivalents dropped about 94% to $1.0 million by March 30, 2025, versus $17.7 million at the end of 2024, reflecting liquidity strain from a 46% inventory buildup to support a growing defense backlog (SEC).
A significant cybersecurity breach on March 1, 2025, caused a system outage and remains under forensic investigation, presenting operational disruption and reputational risk until the full impact is known (Investing.com).
