Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the information incorporated by reference contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including information regarding the Company’s financial outlook, future plans, objectives, business prospects and anticipated financial performance. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as “will,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” or variations of these words, or similar expressions. These forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based only on the Company’s current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the future of our business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, these statements inherently involve a wide range of uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of our control. The Company’s actual actions, results, and financial condition may differ materially from what is expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.

Specific factors that could cause such a difference on our business, financial position, results of operations and/or liquidity include, without limitation, significant increases in the cost of raw materials or disruption in the availability of raw materials; operating in a very competitive business environment; changes in U.S. trade policy, including the imposition of tariffs and the resulting consequences; physical and other risks that could disrupt production; risks associated with our ability to develop and market new products; risks associated with protecting our intellectual property rights, including our unpatented proprietary know-how and trade secrets, or in avoiding claims that we infringed on the intellectual property rights of others; price volatility with our common stock; risks associated with our strategic growth initiatives or the failure to achieve the anticipated benefits of such initiatives; unanticipated downturn in business or inflationary conditions in the U.S. economy or global markets; risks associated with doing business in foreign countries; inability of the Company to maintain access to credit financing; risks associated with equity ownership concentration; claims, litigation and regulatory actions against the Company; changes in laws (including privacy laws), regulations and standards affecting the Company; current and future environmental and other governmental laws and requirements affecting the Company; unforeseen events, including natural disasters, unusual or severe weather events and patterns, public health crises, geopolitical crises, and other catastrophic events; instability in geographies impacted by political events, trade disputes, war, terrorism and other business interruptions; our ability to successfully execute our announced intended divestiture of the Myers Tire Supply business; and other risks and uncertainties detailed from time to time in the Company’s filings with the SEC, including without limitation, the risk factors disclosed in Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Given these factors, as well as other variables that may affect our operating results, readers should not rely on forward-looking statements, assume that past financial performance will be a reliable indicator of future performance, nor use historical trends to anticipate results or trends in future periods. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date thereof. The Company expressly disclaims any obligation or intention to provide updates to the forward-looking statements and the estimates and assumptions associated with them.

Executive Overview

During the first quarter of 2026, in conjunction with the announced sale of Myers Tire Supply, as described in Note 3, the Company transitioned to a new internal organizational and reporting structure. This change in structure has resulted in a more agile organization and solidified achievement of recent productivity improvements and cost efficiency initiatives. In conjunction with the change the Company has begun reporting on a new single-segment structure effective March 31, 2026, as described in Note 1.

The Company designs, manufactures, and markets a variety of plastic, metal and rubber products, including a broad selection of durable plastic reusable products that are manufactured for repeated use during the course of their service life. At the end of their service life, these highly sustainable products can be recovered, recycled, and reprocessed into new products. The Company's products include a broad selection of plastic reusable containers, pallets, small parts bins, bulk shipping containers, storage and organization products, OEM parts, custom plastic products, composite ground protection matting, tire repair and retreading products, consumer fuel containers and tanks for water, fuel and waste handling. Products are primarily injection molded, rotationally molded, compression molded or blow molded. Injection, compression and blow molding primarily use electric power to heat and press resin into molds to form the products. Rotational molding involves multi-axis rotation of molds in natural gas fired ovens to form the resin into our products. The Company also manufactures and sells certain traffic markings, including reflective highway marking tape. The Company conducts its primary operations in the United States, Canada and Europe and serves a wide variety of markets, including industrial manufacturing, food processing, retail/wholesale products distribution, agriculture, recreational vehicles, marine vehicles, healthcare, appliance, bakery, electronics, textiles, construction, infrastructure and consumer, among others. Products are sold both directly to end-users and through distributors.

The Company’s results of operations for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2026 are discussed below. The current economic environment includes heightened risks from tariffs, inflation, interest rates, banking liquidity, volatile commodity costs, supply chain disruptions and labor availability stemming from the broader economic effects of the international geopolitical climate, including rapidly changing regulations which has increased volatility in global commodity markets, including oil (a component of many plastic resins), energy and agricultural commodities. Some of our businesses have been and may continue to be affected by these broader economic effects, including customer demand for our products, supply chain disruptions, labor availability, tariffs and inflation. The Company believes it is well-positioned to manage through this uncertainty as it has a strong balance sheet with sufficient liquidity and borrowing capacity as well as a diverse product offering and customer base.

As described in Note 3, the Myers Tire Supply business is classified as discontinued operations and all historical information has been adjusted to reflect the discontinued operations presentation.

Results of Operations:

The following discussion is of our consolidated results of operations. As described in Note 1, effective January 1, 2026, the Company changed its method of accounting for the classification of shipping and handling costs. Under the new method of accounting, the Company includes shipping and handling costs in Cost of sales, whereas previously, these costs were included in operating costs and expenses within Selling, general and administrative for internal costs and Freight out for external costs. This change has been applied retrospectively to all periods presented in the tables below.

[[/GREPCENT_TABLE]]

Net sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 were $179.2 million, an increase of $16.0 million or 9.8% compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2025. Net sales increased due to higher volume of $14.4 million, higher pricing of $1.5 million and the effect of favorable currency translation of $0.1 million. During the second quarter of 2026, the Company also began production and made initial shipments of military ammunition containers in Europe through Scepter International Poland sp z o.o. Military ammunition containers are included within the Industrial market. The expansion supports the Company’s ability to serve customers in the European market and is part of a broader growth strategy.

Gross profit increased $10.4 million, or 20.4%, for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2025, due to higher volume and pricing as described under Net Sales above, in addition to favorable mix and cost productivity, partially offset by higher material costs. Gross margin was 34.3% for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 compared with 31.3% for the quarter ended June 30, 2025.

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 were $26.6 million, a decrease of $0.8 million or 2.9% compared to the same period in the prior year. Decreases in SG&A expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 were primarily due to $0.5 million of lower salaries and benefits, $0.1 million of lower legal and professional fees, and a $2.0 million non-income tax reserve release related to the Signature acquisition, partially offset by $1.0 million of higher incentive compensation, $0.4 million of higher commissions, $0.3 million of higher variable selling expenses and $0.1 million of higher facilities costs.

Depreciation and amortization, exclusive of amounts within Cost of sales, decreased $0.1 million to $3.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 as compared to $3.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025. The decrease was primarily related to asset disposals in the prior year.

(Gain) loss on disposal of fixed assets was not significant during both the quarter ended June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025.

The Company’s results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared with the year ended December 31, 2024 are discussed below. The current economic environment includes heightened risks from tariffs, inflation, interest rates, banking liquidity, volatile commodity costs, supply chain disruptions and labor availability stemming from the broader economic effects of the international geopolitical climate, including rapidly changing regulations which has increased volatility in global commodity markets, including oil (a component of many plastic resins), energy and agricultural commodities. Some of our businesses have been and may continue to be affected by these broader economic effects, including customer demand for our products, supply chain disruptions, labor availability, tariffs and inflation. The Company believes it is well-positioned to manage through this uncertainty as it has a strong balance sheet with sufficient liquidity and borrowing capacity as well as a diverse product offering and customer base.

Net sales for the year ended December 31, 2025 were $825.7 million, a decrease of $10.5 million or 1.3% compared to the prior year. Net sales decreased due to lower pricing of $14.5 million, lower volume of $1.6 million and the effect of unfavorable currency translation of $0.8 million. The decrease in net sales was partially offset by $6.4 million of incremental sales in the Material Handling Segment from the acquisition of Signature on February 8, 2024. Signature's annual sales were approximately $110 million at the time of the acquisition.

Net sales in the Material Handling Segment increased $0.5 million or 0.1% for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the prior year. Net sales increased due to $6.4 million of incremental sales from the acquisition of Signature on February 8, 2024 and higher volume of $8.7 million, partially offset by lower pricing of $13.8 million and the effect of unfavorable currency translation of $0.8 million.

[[/GREPCENT_TABLE]]

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses for the year ended December 31, 2025 were $172.4 million, a decrease of $1.6 million or 0.9% compared to the prior year. Decreases in SG&A expenses in 2025 were primarily due to $3.9 million of lower salaries and benefits, $1.6 million of lower facility costs, $1.6 million of lower variable selling expenses, $1.5 million of lower legal and professional fees and $0.5 million of lower commissions, partially offset by $6.5 million of higher incentive compensation and $3.1 million of incremental SG&A from the acquisition of Signature on February 8, 2024. SG&A expenses also decreased as compared to prior year due to $4.6 million of lower acquisition and integration costs due to the Signature acquisition as described in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, in addition to a $3.2 million recovery of purchased credit deteriorated assets that was recognized in the current year as a reduction to bad debt expense, partially offset by $5.3 million of higher restructuring costs as described in Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements. Environmental matters described in Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements resulted in a net $0.2 million of charges for the year ended December 31, 2025, which compared to $0.2 million of income in the year ended December 31, 2024.

Depreciation and amortization:

Depreciation and amortization, exclusive of amounts within Cost of sales, decreased $0.6 million to $17.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 as compared to $18.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily related to lower intangible amortization related to prior acquisitions and lower depreciation related to asset disposals in conjunction with the facility consolidations, as described in Note 6.

Freight out:

Freight out costs decreased $1.0 million to $11.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 as compared to $12.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily related to lower overall sales volume, as discussed above.

(Gain) loss on disposal of fixed assets:

During the year ended December 31, 2025 the Company recognized $0.6 million of net losses on the disposal of fixed assets primarily related to fixed asset disposals and write-downs recognized in conjunction with the previously announced facility consolidations as described in Note 6, partially offset by a gain on the sale of fixed assets. During the year ended December 31, 2024 the Company recognized $0.2 million of losses on the disposal of fixed assets primarily related to the sale of fixed assets.

Impairment Charges:

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recorded a $22.0 million non-cash impairment charge, for the full carrying value of goodwill in the rotational molding reporting unit, included in the Material Handling Segment, as discussed in Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements.

[[/GREPCENT_TABLE]]

Net interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $29.4 million compared to $30.9 million during 2024. The lower net interest expense was due to a lower weighted-average borrowing rate in the current year, partially offset by higher average outstanding borrowings as a result of the acquisition of Signature, which was funded through an amendment and restatement of Myers' existing loan agreement discussed below.

Income Taxes:

[[GREPCENT_TABLE]]
[["","","Year Ended December 31,"],["(dollars in thousands)","","2025","","","2024"],["Income before income taxes","","$","45,135","","","$","13,543"],["Income tax expense","","$","10,207","","","$","6,342"],["Effective tax rate","","","22.6","%","","","46.8","%"]]
[[/GREPCENT_TABLE]]

The Company's effective tax rate was 22.6% for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to 46.8% in the prior year. The decrease in the effective tax rate is driven by fixed non-deductible expenses, including expenses related to the Signature acquisition in the prior year on lower income before income taxes plus the tax effect of prior year impairment charges.

Financial Condition & Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s primary sources of liquidity are cash on hand, cash generated from operations and availability under the Amended Loan Agreement (defined below). At December 31, 2025, the Company had $45.1 million of cash, $244.7 million available under the Amended Loan Agreement and outstanding debt of $353.8 million, including the finance lease liability of $8.0 million. At December 31, 2025, our primary contractual obligations relate to our debt and lease arrangements as described in Notes 10 and 13 to the consolidated financial statements. The Company believes that cash on hand, cash flows from operations and available capacity under its Amended Loan Agreement will be sufficient to meet expected business requirements including capital expenditures, dividends, working capital, debt service, and to fund future growth.
