Brady Corporation Reports 2026 Fourth Quarter and Record Full Year Results
Achieved Record Annual Revenue and Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share
Completed Transformational Acquisition of Honeywell Technologies’ Productivity Solutions and Services Business on August 3, 2026
Announces Fiscal Year 2027 Guidance – Adjusted Diluted EPS Expected to Grow 23% at the Midpoint of Guidance Range
MILWAUKEE (September 3, 2026) -- Brady Corporation (NYSE: BRC) (“Brady” or “Company”), a world leader in identification, safety and productivity solutions, today announced its financial results for its fiscal 2026 fourth quarter and the year ended July 31, 2026.
“The results of the fourth quarter and full year 2026 are a clear indication of the momentum we are achieving at Brady Corporation,” said Vineet Nargolwala, President and Chief Executive Officer.
“Our strong organic growth, with additional contributions from acquisitions and foreign currency translation, drove 10% sales growth for the quarter and the year.
Organic sales growth and expanding margins drove a 15% increase in adjusted earnings per share in 2026 versus 2025.”
He continued, “As we enter 2027, continued growth in our Identification Solutions business (IDS), complemented by the addition of the newly named Intelligent Productivity Solutions business (IPS), is expected to drive 23% growth in adjusted diluted earnings per share* at the midpoint of our guidance range.”
Mr. Nargolwala concluded, “With the closing of the IPS acquisition, Brady becomes a stronger and more global industrial technology company.
Our addressable market is expanding to $14 billion as we grow our presence in manufacturing, transportation, logistics, retail and healthcare markets.
As we enter a new chapter for Brady, I could not be more excited about our opportunity to drive value for all of our stakeholders.”
Fourth Quarter Financial Results:
Sales for the quarter ended July 31, 2026 were $436.9 million, an increase of 10.0% compared to $397.3 million in the same quarter last year.
The year-over-year increase was primarily driven by organic growth of 8.4%.
By region, sales increased 13.5% in the Americas & Asia and 3.2% in Europe & Australia, primarily driven by organic sales growth of 11.6% in the Americas & Asia and 2.1% in Europe & Australia.
See the Segment Information table for growth drivers and segment profit.
Income before income taxes decreased 8.2% to $55.6 million in the quarter ended July 31, 2026, compared to $60.5 million in the same quarter last year, reflecting acquisition and integration-related costs in the fourth quarter of 2026.
Adjusted Income Before Income Taxes* was $89.0 million, an increase of 20.0% compared to $74.2 million in the fourth quarter of last year.
See the GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures table for detailed adjustments.
Net income for the quarter was $45.6 million compared to $49.9 million in the same quarter last year, reflecting acquisition and integration-related costs in the fourth quarter of 2026.
Adjusted Net Income* increased 17.5% to $70.7 million compared to $60.2 million in the same quarter last year.
Earnings per diluted Class A Nonvoting Common Share was $0.96 compared to $1.04 in the same quarter last year.
Adjusted Diluted EPS* was $1.48 compared to $1.26 in the same quarter last year, an increase of 17.5%.
Fiscal Year Financial Results:
Sales for the year ended July 31, 2026 increased 9.8% to $1.66 billion compared to $1.51 billion in the prior fiscal year.
The year-over-year increase was primarily driven by organic growth of 5.3%.
By region, sales increased 11.4% in the Americas & Asia and 6.7% in Europe & Australia, primarily driven by organic sales growth of 7.5% in the Americas & Asia and 1.2% in Europe & Australia.
Income before income taxes increased 9.4% to $259.4 million in the year ended July 31, 2026, compared to $237.1 million in the prior year.
Adjusted Income Before Income Taxes* was $322.1 million, an increase of 15.2% compared to $279.5 million in 2025.

The company achieved record Adjusted Diluted EPS* of $5.29, a 15.0% increase compared to $4.60 in 2025.
Brady’s Chief Financial Officer, Ann Thornton, said, “We continued our strong momentum and achieved another annual adjusted earnings per share record, increased our cash flow from operating activities nearly 35% to $244.1 million in fiscal 2026 compared to $181.2 million in fiscal 2025, and returned $88.3 million to our shareholders in the form of dividends and share buybacks. Our net cash position of $172.2 million as of July 31, 2026, provided significant support for our acquisition of the Intelligent Productivity Solutions business.
Our strong balance sheet allows us to continue to invest in organic growth, reduce our net leverage, and continue to return funds to our shareholders through dividends and share buybacks to drive long-term shareholder value.”
Fiscal 2027 Guidance:
The Company expects Adjusted Diluted EPS* for the year ending July 31, 2027 to range from $6.25 to $6.75 per share, which represents a range of growth of between 18.1 percent to 27.6 percent compared to 2026.
The Company expects approximately $0.80 Adjusted Diluted EPS* accretion from the IPS segment, net of the cost of financing the transaction, with the majority of the contribution in the second half of the fiscal year as the business is integrated.
The Company expects revenue from the IDS segment to grow approximately 5 percent organically, and expects the IPS segment to contribute revenue of approximately $1.15 billion for the year ending July 31, 2027.
Segment profit as a percentage of sales is expected to be approximately 20 percent within the IDS segment, and is expected to be in the low-double digits within the IPS segment.
Other elements of the Company’s 2027 guidance include depreciation expense of approximately $45 million, capital expenditures of approximately $40 million, and a full-year income tax rate of approximately 21 percent.
Fiscal 2027 guidance is based upon foreign currency exchange rates as of July 31, 2026, and assumes continued economic growth.

In this release, statements that are not reported financial results or other historic information are “forward-looking statements.” These forward-looking statements relate to, among other things, statements about the success of the acquisition, including anticipated benefits and synergies of the transaction, future opportunities for the combined company, and any other statements regarding the establishment of a new reporting segment for the IPS business, the combined company’s future operations and future financial position, anticipated economic activity, business strategies, targets, future earnings, anticipated growth, market opportunities, debt levels and cash flows, competition and other expectations and estimates for future periods including plans and objectives of management for future operations.
The use of words such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “should,” “project,” “plan” or similar terminology are generally intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements by their nature address matters that are, to different degrees, uncertain and are subject to risks, assumptions, and other factors, some of which are beyond the Company’s control, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. For the Company, uncertainties arise from: the ability of the Company and the IPS business to retain customers and retain and hire key personnel and maintain relationships with their suppliers and customers and on their operating results and businesses generally; potential difficulties integrating the IPS business, or the costs of integrating the IPS business exceeding original estimates; failure of the Company to achieve the anticipated benefits and synergies of the transaction identified in this release on the timeline indicated or at all; the establishment of a new reporting segment for the IPS business; increased cost of materials, labor, material shortages and supply chain disruptions, including as a result of tariffs or other impacts of the global trade environment; decreased demand for the Company’s products; the Company’s ability to compete effectively or to successfully execute our strategy; the Company’s ability to develop technologically advanced products that meet customer demands; the Company’s ability to identify, integrate and grow acquired companies, and to manage contingent liabilities from divested businesses; difficulties in protecting the Company’s websites, networks, and systems against security breaches; extensive regulations by U.S. and non-U.S. governmental and self-regulatory entities; risks associated with the loss of key employees; litigation, including product liability claims; global climate change and environmental regulations; foreign currency fluctuations; our indebtedness, financial condition and fulfillment of obligations thereunder; the ability to service our indebtedness; changes in tax legislation and tax rates; potential write-offs of goodwill and other intangible assets; differing interests of voting and non-voting shareholders and changes in the regulatory and business environment around dual-class voting structures; numerous other matters of national, regional and global scale, including major public health crises and government responses thereto and those of a political, economic, business, competitive, and regulatory nature contained from time to time in the Company’s U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filings, including, but not limited to, those factors listed in the “Risk Factors” section within Item 1A of Part I of the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended July 31, 2026.
These uncertainties may cause the Company’s actual future results to be materially different than those expressed in its forward-looking statements. The Company does not undertake to update its forward-looking statements except as required by law.

GAAP to NON-GAAP MEASURES
(Unaudited; Dollars in Thousands, Except Per Share Amounts)
In accordance with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s Regulation G, the following provides definitions of the non-GAAP measures used in the earnings release and the reconciliation to the most closely related GAAP measure.
Adjusted Income Before Income Taxes:
Brady is presenting the non-GAAP measure, “Adjusted Income Before Income Taxes.” This is not a calculation based upon GAAP. The amounts included in this non-GAAP measure are derived from amounts included in the Consolidated Financial Statements and supporting footnote disclosures. We do not view these items to be part of our ongoing results. We believe this profit measure provides an important perspective of underlying business trends and results and provides a more comparable measure from year to year.

September 3, 2026 Q4 and Year-end Financial Results F’26
F’26 Q4 and Year-end Financial Results Forward-Looking Statements In this release, statements that are not reported financial results or other historic information are “forward-looking statements.” These forward-looking statements relate to, among other things, statements about the success of the acquisition, including anticipated benefits and synergies of the transaction, future opportunities for the combined company, and any other statements regarding the establishment of a new reporting segment for the IPS business, the combined company’s future operations and future financial position, anticipated economic activity, business strategies, targets, future earnings, anticipated growth, market opportunities, debt levels and cash flows, competition and other expectations and estimates for future periods including plans and objectives of management for future operations. The use of words such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “should,” “project,” “plan” or similar terminology are generally intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements by their nature address matters that are, to different degrees, uncertain and are subject to risks, assumptions, and other factors, some of which are beyond the Company’s control, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. For the Company, uncertainties arise from: the ability of the Company and the IPS business to retain customers and retain and hire key personnel and maintain relationships with their suppliers and customers and on their operating results and businesses generally; potential difficulties integrating the IPS business, or the costs of integrating the IPS business exceeding original estimates; failure of the Company to achieve the anticipated benefits and synergies of the transaction identified in this release on the timeline indicated or at all; the establishment of a new reporting segment for the IPS business; increased cost of materials, labor, material shortages and supply chain disruptions, including as a result of tariffs or other impacts of the global trade environment; decreased demand for the Company’s products; the Company’s ability to compete effectively or to successfully execute our strategy; the Company’s ability to develop technologically advanced products that meet customer demands; the Company’s ability to identify, integrate and grow acquired companies, and to manage contingent liabilities from divested businesses; difficulties in protecting the Company’s websites, networks, and systems against security breaches; extensive regulations by U.S. and non-U.S. governmental and self-regulatory entities; risks associated with the loss of key employees; litigation, including product liability claims; global climate change and environmental regulations; foreign currency fluctuations; our indebtedness, financial condition and fulfillment of obligations thereunder; the ability to service our indebtedness; changes in tax legislation and tax rates; potential write-offs of goodwill and other intangible assets; differing interests of voting and non-voting shareholders and changes in the regulatory and business environment around dual-class voting structures; numerous other matters of national, regional and global scale, including major public health crises and government responses thereto and those of a political, economic, business, competitive, and regulatory nature contained from time to time in the Company’s U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filings, including, but not limited to, those factors listed in the “Risk Factors” section within Item 1A of Part I of the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended July 31, 2026. These uncertainties may cause the Company’s actual future results to be materially different than those expressed in its forward-looking statements. The Company does not undertake to update its forward-looking statements except as required by law. 2
