Strategic Portfolio Adjustments from 2025 Drive Enhanced Profitability with Net Income up 36% and EBITDA Reaching 9.7% of Net Sales

LANCASTER, Pa., April 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Burnham Holdings, Inc. (OTC:BURCA) (“BHI”, the “Company”, “we” or “our”) today reported its consolidated financial results for the first quarter of 2026, delivering strong net sales and improved profitability, reflecting early momentum from the prior-year strategic portfolio actions to strengthen its core boiler business.. The financial statement presentation has been adjusted to reflect the previously announced divestiture of its subsidiaries Thermo Products, LLC (TP) and Norwood Manufacturing, Inc. (NMI) as discontinued operations.

  • Net Sales: Net sales for the first quarter of 2026 reached $66.2 million, up 18.7% ($10.4 million) from the first quarter of 2025.
  • Solid Gross Profit Margins: Gross profit margin increased to 26.6% in the first quarter of 2026 from 24.5% in the first quarter of 2025. 
  • Strategic SG&A Investment: Adjusted selling, general, and administrative expenses (SG&A) as a percentage of net sales were 19.8% in the first quarter of 2026 compared to 18.2% for the first quarter of  2025. Although higher on a percentage basis quarter over quarter, SG&A spend for 2026 was in line with expectations of planned initiative spending.
  • Net Income: Net income from continuing operations for the first quarter of 2026 was $3.4 million, or $0.72 per diluted share, compared with net income from continuing operations of $2.5 million, or $0.54 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2025.
  • Enhanced Profitability Metrics: EBITDA from continuing operations for the first quarter of 2026 was $6.4 million (9.7% of net sales), an increase from $4.8 million (8.6% of net sales) in the first quarter of 2025.
  • Increased Shareholder Value: Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations for the first quarter of 2026 improved to $0.72, up from $0.54 in the first quarter of 2025.

“Our first quarter performance reflects the tangible impact of the strategic actions we took in 2025. By sharpening our focus on our core boiler business and higher-efficiency technologies, we’re seeing strong sales growth, improved margins, and enhanced profitability,” stated Chris Drew, President and CEO of Burnham Holdings.  “Just as importantly, the operational discipline and investments we’ve put in place are positioning us to build on this momentum and deliver sustained value throughout 2026 and beyond.”

While recent economic volatility from oil and natural gas markets may indirectly impact near-term margins, and fluctuations in input costs could create additional variability, BHI is well positioned to navigate these dynamics. BHI’s strong foundation in its core cast iron business, combined with ongoing investment in high-efficiency technologies, positions the Company to capture continued sales growth as energy price volatility drives demand for a range of heating solutions. In addition, strategic investments made over the past year to further streamline operations are expected to support long-term margin expansion by enhancing engineering efficiency, increasing production throughput, and optimizing the cost structure across BHI’s operational product portfolio.

Burnham Holdings, Inc.’s Annual Meeting is being held today virtually via a secure website meeting platform at 11:30 a.m. eastern. A press release regarding today’s shareholder voting and the Board of Directors determination regarding declaration of a quarterly dividend will be released later this afternoon.
