MSA Safety Incorporated reported its financial results for the third quarter of 2026, highlighting strong sales growth and the completion of a major acquisition. For the quarter ended September 30, 2026, the company reported quarterly net sales of $536.4 million, representing a 15% increase compared to the same period in 2025. This growth was driven by a 6% organic increase, with the International segment seeing a 28% rise in sales.
GAAP operating income for the quarter was $88.2 million, or 16.4% of sales. However, GAAP net income was reported at $58.4 million, or $1.51 per diluted share, a decrease from the prior year due to costs associated with the Autronica acquisition. Excluding these acquisition-related impacts, adjusted earnings were $80.6 million, or $2.09 per diluted share, an increase of 8% year-over-year.
MSA Safety closed the acquisition of Autronica Fire and Security during the third quarter for $563 million, net of cash acquired. The company also announced that it will maintain its full-year sales outlook of low-double-digit reported growth. MSA Safety will host a conference call on Tuesday, November 3, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time to discuss these results.
