Company Announces Earnings Results

EASTON, PA / ACCESS Newswire / August 12, 2026 / Paragon Technologies, Inc. ( PGNT ) ("Paragon" or the "Company"), a diversified holding company, reported its results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026.

Paragon Technologies, Inc.'s ( PGNT ) Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 are summarized below. For further details on our results, shareholders should carefully review our quarterly report, which can be found at www.pgntgroup.com.

Analysis of Results and General Business Commentary:

Operating results reflect a substantial improvement in our automation gross margins due to disciplined expense management and a continued focus on higher-value opportunities. Automation gross margins were 30.6% for the first half of 2026 versus 20.6% in the comparable year-ago period. However, our automation revenue remains under pressure. Our current backlog of $2.4 million is down sequentially as we completed projects during the second quarter. "We are encouraged by our current pipeline of opportunities, however, automation purchasing decisions can be subject to long lead times and ultimately the investment decisions of buyers," noted Sham Gad, CEO of Paragon Technologies. "We are encouraged by the continued progress that has been made. We see both challenges and opportunities that we will continue to focus on addressing and capturing."

Our distribution segment continues to perform in line with expectations. Results were driven by strong performance in the Value and Consumer Electronics business units, which more than offset weakness in the Transactional Business Unit. Consumer Electronics benefited from elevated television demand associated with the World Cup. Despite ongoing customer inventory imbalances and vendor pricing pressures, profitability improved due to stronger product mix and gross margin expansion.

Additional financial details related to each of the Company's business divisions can be found in our quarterly report.

In 2018 newly issued accounting rules required that all companies record any unrealized losses or gains from equity investments in the income statement.

Paragon's investment gains or losses reflect realized gains or losses in the company's investment portfolio.

Paragon utilizes pre-tax operating income, a non-GAAP financial measure, in its analysis of financial results. Paragon Technologies defines pre-tax operating earnings outside of the investment gains/losses of the Company.
