What Northern Technologies International Corp. reported on July 9, 2026

The quarter ending May 31, 2026, against the same quarter a year earlier.

These are single quarters, not a trailing year — the figures elsewhere on this site cover twelve months and will be much larger. A seasonal business swings a long way between the two: ServiceNow earns $2.0B of free cash flow in its December quarter and $0.5B in its June one.

Compared against the same quarter a year earlier, not against an analyst forecast. A “beat” or “miss” needs a consensus estimate, which is licensed data we do not carry — and getting it wrong is worse than leaving it out.

What management said

“Strong global demand and increasing adoption of our ZERUST® corrosion prevention and Natur-Tec® bioplastic solutions drove quarterly consolidated net sales to new record highs. Global disruptions stemming from increased conflict levels in the Middle East, including through the Strait of Hormuz, drove a significant increase in the cost of key raw materials during the quarter, and gross margin was further affected by competitive pricing pressure in our Natur-Tec® business. Together, these factors reduced our gross margin by approximately 477 basis points year-over-year. We have begun to see raw material costs ease, and the pricing and procurement initiatives we are pursuing are expected to improve gross margin and profitability in the fourth quarter,”
