"During fiscal 2026, Daktronics successfully completed numerous profitable business initiatives, laying the foundation for gaining momentum in executing our three-year strategic plan that started in fiscal 2025, advancing key initiatives that delivered accelerated sales growth, increased profitability, and a multi-quarter backlog of orders for a strong finish to the year," said Ramesh Jayaraman, Daktronics’ President and Chief Executive Officer. "In fiscal 2026, we delivered record net sales and orders, reflecting efficient backlog conversion, steady customer demand and effective sales practices supporting our broad product and services portfolio. Margin expansion for the year was driven by stronger operational efficiency, improved supply chain execution, and disciplined inventory and working capital management, along with pricing actions aligned with our strategic initiatives. We ended the year on a strong note, delivering adjusted EPS⁽¹⁾ of $0.27 in the fourth quarter."

Tracking to Three-Year Plan

As outlined at Daktronics’ April 9, 2026, Investor Day, management is focused on executing strategic priorities to support growth, operational excellence and cash deployment along the following strategic pillars:

Daktronics, Inc.

"We enter fiscal 2027 with concrete execution plans in place, balancing our strategic priorities between growth and operational excellence," said Jayaraman. "Our focus is to enhance our core organic growth capability, optimize our operating model to better serve customers while improving ROIC, and deploying capital in a disciplined manner to support organic growth, pursue targeted M&A, and return capital to shareholders through our share repurchase program. We are well positioned with a $356.2 million multi-quarter product backlog and a strong pipeline across all business segments backed by secular demand drivers. I’d like to thank our customers for their continued trust in Daktronics and our approximately 2,700 employees for what they have accomplished. Because of our team’s dedication, we are tracking well toward our fiscal 2028 targets of 7-10% revenue CAGR, 10-12% operating margin and 17-20% ROIC."

Fourth Quarter and Year-to-Date Results

"Our team delivered an exceptional fiscal 2026, with record net sales, record orders, and a 290 basis point increase in operating margin," said Daktronics’ Acting Chief Financial Officer Howard Atkins.

Full year 2026 orders increased 10.2 percent to a record $860.8 million, led by the Live Events business unit which won five of five Major League Baseball stadium installations since the third quarter of fiscal 2025. The Transportation and International business units had their own record orders quarters during the year. Fourth quarter fiscal 2026 orders declined 7.7 percent compared to an exceptionally strong fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 in which orders accelerated in advance of pricing increases. Product backlog rose to $356.2 million, with new orders exceeding revenue throughout the year.

Net sales for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 were up 20.9 percent from the year-earlier period, driven by the Live Events, High School Park and Recreation, and Transportation business units. The Commercial and International business unit net sales were relatively flat year-over-year. For the full year fiscal 2026, net sales were up 10.9 percent to a record $838.7 million due to strong order growth, the introduction of value-based pricing, and efficient revenue conversion.

Fourth quarter gross profit increased 3.0 percent from a year ago on higher revenue and wider gross profit margin, which increased to 28.0 percent for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to 25.0 percent for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025. A recapture of a prior period warranty provision accounted for 62 basis points of the 28.0 percent gross profit margin. For the full year, gross profit as a percentage of net sales increased to 27.3 percent, including warranty recapture, for fiscal 2026 from 25.8 percent in the prior year. Factors contributing to the margin increase included value-based price increases and operational efficiencies in working capital. The Company is monitoring developments related to tariff refunds, and no amounts have been recognized in the financial statements as of May 2, 2026, due to ongoing uncertainty regarding eligibility, timing and amount.

Operating expenses for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 were $44.4 million and relatively flat compared to $44.9 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025. Operating expenses were $168.2 million for the full fiscal 2026 year compared to $162.4 million for the full fiscal 2025 year, an increase of 3.6 percent. The year‑over‑year increase primarily reflects higher product design and development expenses, including costs associated with the acquisition of certain assets of X Display Company Technology Limited ("XDC").

Operating expenses during fiscal 2026 also included expenses related to management transition costs, advisory services, and legal expenses associated with the XDC acquisition. By comparison, expenses incurred during fiscal 2025 were primarily related to consultant and advisory costs supporting strategic and digital transformation initiatives and corporate governance matters.

Operating margin was 6.8 percent for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to an operating loss of 1.0 percent for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025. Operating margin was 7.3 percent for fiscal 2026 compared to 4.4 percent for fiscal 2025.

The increase in net interest income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to the same period a year ago is primarily due to a higher average cash level invested in interest-bearing accounts. During the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2025, interest expense included interest on the convertible note payable, which was settled during fiscal 2025.

The change in fair value of the convertible note was caused by the conversion of the entire convertible note in the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2025.

The Company’s effective tax rate for fiscal 2026 was 22.2 percent compared to negative 73.0 percent for fiscal 2025. During fiscal 2025, the Company’s effective income tax rate was primarily impacted due to the convertible note fair value adjustment to expense that is not deductible for tax purposes. In fiscal 2026, there were no further impacts of fair value adjustments on the convertible note and our effective tax rate has normalized closer to the U.S. statutory rate.

Fourth quarter fiscal 2026 earnings per diluted share were $0.17, compared to a loss per diluted share of $0.19 in the fourth quarter fiscal 2025. For fiscal 2026, earnings per diluted share were $0.92, compared to a loss per diluted share of $0.21 in fiscal 2025. Fourth quarter fiscal 2026 adjusted EPS⁽¹⁾ of $0.27 excludes a $3.8 million provision for possible credit losses related to the exit of an investment in an affiliate and was up 50.0 percent from adjusted EPS⁽¹⁾ in the year-earlier period. Fourth quarter fiscal 2025 adjusted EPS⁽¹⁾ of $0.18 excludes a $15.5 million provision for possible credit losses booked related to the exit of an investment in a different affiliate.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $131.6 million as of May 2, 2026, and $10.8 million of total current and long-term debt was outstanding as of that date. Accounts receivable as of May 2, 2026, was $118.6 million compared to $92.8 million at the end of fiscal 2025.

The Company has a $71.5 million senior credit facility that consists of a cash flow‑backed revolving line of credit. As of May 2, 2026, there were no advances under the loan portion of the line of credit, and the balance of letters of credit outstanding was $1.9 million.

In fiscal 2026, Daktronics generated $49.2 million of cash from operations, of which $14.9 million was used for purchases of property and equipment. During fiscal 2026, the Company repurchased 1.4 million shares of common stock at the volume-weighted average price of $17.80, equaling $25.4 million of share repurchases. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, the Company repurchased 0.1 million shares of common stock at the volume-weighted average price of $19.56, equaling $2.6 million of share repurchases.

The table above reconciles free cash flow to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. In evaluating its business, Daktronics considers and uses free cash flow as a key measure of its operating performance. The term free cash flow is not defined under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). It is not a measure of operating income, cash flows from operating activities or other GAAP figures and should not be considered alternatives to those computations. We define free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities less payments for property, plant and equipment, plus proceeds from the sale of, insurance recovery for and grants for property, plant and equipment, if applicable. Our definition of free cash flow may not be comparable to similarly titled definitions used by other companies. Free cash flow is intended to provide information that may be useful for investors when assessing period to period results because it provides them with additional information in assessing our liquidity, capital resources and financial operating results.

In evaluating its business, Daktronics considers and uses adjusted operating income as a key measure of its operating performance. The term adjusted operating income is not defined under GAAP and is not a measure of operating income, cash flows from operating activities, or other GAAP figures and should not be considered alternatives to those computations. We define adjusted operating income as operating income (loss) plus management transition expenses, acquisition related expenses, consulting related expenses related to our business transformation initiatives, and corporate governance expenses related to legal and advisory costs of reincorporation and shareholder relations. Management transition and acquisition related expenses incurred during the first and second quarters of fiscal 2026 were immaterial and, accordingly, were not previously disclosed as adjustments. These expenses became more significant during the third quarter of fiscal 2026 and are therefore reflected in the twelve‑month adjusted operating income calculation. Management believes adjusted operating income is a useful indicator of our financial performance and our ability to generate cash flows from operations. Our definition of adjusted operating income may not be comparable to similarly titled definitions used by other companies. The table above reconciles adjusted operating income to comparable GAAP financial measures.

Adjusted net income using 26% tax rate. The table above reconciles adjusted net income and adjusted EPS to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. In evaluating its business, Daktronics considers and uses adjusted net income and adjusted EPS as key measures of its operating performance. The terms adjusted net income and adjusted EPS are not defined under GAAP. They are not measures of net income or other GAAP figures and should not be considered alternatives to those computations. We disclose adjusted net income and adjusted EPS as non-GAAP financial measures in order to report our results exclusive of items that are non-recurring, unique, or not core to our operating business. Our definition of adjusted net income and adjusted EPS may not be comparable to similarly titled definitions used by other companies. Management believes presenting this non-GAAP financial measurement provides investors with a consistent way to analyze our performance.
