Brady Corp
Investor Relations

Brady Corp makes identification and safety products that help companies label, track, and protect people, equipment, and workplaces. Its core products include printed labels, signs, tags, printers, software, and related materials used to mark wires, pipes, machines, laboratories, and safety hazards. The company also sells products for asset tracking, barcode labeling, and workplace compliance. Its main customers are industrial manufacturers, electrical contractors, utilities, laboratories, hospitals, and other organizations that need durable identification and safety systems. Brady earns money by selling consumable labels and tags, printers, and replacement supplies, along with software and related services in some areas. That mix matters because customers often keep buying the consumables after the initial printer sale. Brady sits in a practical niche of the industrial supply chain: it does not make the end product, but it helps other businesses organize operations, meet safety rules, and keep equipment readable over time. Its business is different from many manufacturers because a large part of demand comes from recurring replacement labels and supplies, not just one-time equipment purchases.

AI Summary
Q3 2026

Record quarter: Brady reported record adjusted EPS of $1.50, up 23% year over year, helped by 8.2% organic sales growth, higher gross margin, and better SG&A leverage.

Guidance raised: Full-year adjusted EPS guidance was raised to $5.20 to $5.30 from $4.95 to $5.15, and GAAP EPS guidance was also raised.

Broad strength: Growth was not just from one product launch; management pointed to strong demand across major product lines, especially wire identification and data centers, plus solid performance in both regions.

New product momentum: The i4311 4-inch portable printer is selling well above expectations and is described as a unique product with potential to pull through other sales.

PSS deal: Brady reiterated that the Honeywell Productivity Solutions and Services acquisition should be immediately accretive and now expects about $0.80 of adjusted EPS accretion in year one, before synergies.

Cash and balance sheet: Cash generation remained strong, with nearly $80 million of cash in the quarter and net cash rising to $148.6 million, giving Brady room to fund the deal and keep investing.

Macro watchpoints: Management highlighted Europe’s weak manufacturing backdrop, foreign exchange, inflation, and U.S. dollar strength as risks, but said the quarter held up well despite those pressures.
