Management Commentary
- “Net sales … were $23,330,000 and $25,216,000, respectively, decreasing $1,886,000 or 7.5%. Net income … decreasing $651,000 or 15.4%. The decrease … was mainly due to lower sales unit volumes as the overall market continued to be suppressed because of, among other factors, a decline in housing starts.” — Dean W. Rivest, CEO .
- Prior quarters: “The decrease in net income is mainly due to the decrease in net sales and a related decrease in production, which resulted in lower absorption of factory labor and overhead costs. Higher overhead expenses, mainly due to newly leased facilities, also contributed … and lower raw material costs were among the factors mitigating the decrease.” .
- Q4 2024: Demand softness and higher salary-related and travel expenses noted alongside lower unit volumes .

Estimates Context
- S&P Global consensus estimates for Q1 2025 appear unavailable (no EPS or revenue consensus returned). Actuals are shown for comparison.
Values retrieved from S&P Global where consensus would normally be shown.
Where estimates may need to adjust:
- With no published consensus, sell-side coverage appears limited; a continued macro drag in housing starts suggests cautious revenue/EPS trajectory until end-market indicators improve .
Key Takeaways for Investors
- Omega Flex delivered $23.33M revenue and $0.35 EPS, down YoY and sequentially, driven by lower unit volumes amid weak housing starts .
- Gross margin around 60%* remains resilient, implying pricing and cost structure discipline despite volume pressure.*
- No guidance was issued; dividend maintained at $0.34 per share, indicating confidence in liquidity and ongoing capital returns .
- Prior quarter commentary flagged overhead absorption and new facilities costs as incremental headwinds; monitor for normalization as volumes recover .
- Absence of a transcript limits visibility into near-term initiatives; investors should watch subsequent filings/releases for updates .
- Near-term trading: lack of guidance and macro headwinds could cap upside; any signs of housing-start recovery may catalyze re-rating.
- Medium-term thesis: stable margins and conservative balance sheet support defensiveness; operating leverage to volume recovery provides upside once end markets rebound .
