Zach Liggett's questions to NORTHERN TECHNOLOGIES INTERNATIONAL (NTIC) leadership

Question · Q4 2025

Zach Liggett inquired about NTIC's strategic objectives for achieving greater than 15% top-line growth and slower expense growth, the outlook for operating cash flow and CapEx expectations for fiscal year 2026, any benefits the company is seeing from the 'one big beautiful bill' (likely referring to infrastructure legislation), and any identified AI use cases for the coming year.

Answer

CFO Matthew Wolsfeld affirmed optimism for achieving 15% growth in fiscal 2026, driven by oil and gas and Natur-Tec, with stable operating expenses. He also outlined plans for significant cash generation in North America in fiscal 2026 to pay down debt, following large CapEx in fiscal 2024 and 2025 for an ERP system and a new building. He noted that future facility investments in Brazil and India would be self-funded. CEO Patrick Lynch stated there were no direct benefits from the 'one big beautiful bill' and no identified AI use cases for the coming year.

Question · Q2 2025

Asked for an update on the EXCOR joint venture in Germany, inquiring about the challenges, the company's ability to influence the situation, and the outlook for dividends from the JVs.

Answer

The company explained that the German and broader European economies are suffering from a high-cost energy environment due to the Ukraine crisis, which has led to manufacturing plant shutdowns. This is negatively impacting EXCOR's business, and the situation is expected to persist for the foreseeable future, suggesting limited ability to effect change and a challenging outlook for improvement.
