About this video

Jewett-Cameron Trading Company (NASDAQ: JCTC) released its Q3 2025 results on July 15, 2025, highlighting a challenging quarter marked by tariff-related disruptions and cost pressures. The company’s total revenue declined 21% year-over-year to $12.6 million, as uncertainty surrounding tariffs on imported metal products led customers and retailers to defer purchases. Key segments were affected—metal fence sales fell 4% and the pet division dropped 44%. However, Lifetime Steel Posts® (LTP) stood out with an impressive 85% surge in sales, driven by expanded retail displays at major stores like Home Depot and Lowe’s. Gross margin for the quarter contracted to 15.0% from 18.6% the previous year, primarily due to higher tariff and transportation costs, a greater share of lower-margin products, and ongoing expenditures related to the LTP rollout. Operating expenses were reduced to $2.6 million (down from $2.9 million), reflecting cost optimization, operational efficiency measures, and a 20% workforce reduction initiated in April 2025. Despite these efforts, the company posted a net loss of $0.6 million, or $0.18 per share, a reversal from net income of $0.2 million ($0.04 per share) in Q3 2024. Cash levels declined to $1.2 million and stockholders’ equity decreased to $23.1 million. Looking ahead, management emphasized a continued focus on cost discipline, supply chain optimization, and product innovation to navigate tariff headwinds. Jewett-Cameron maintains optimism around its LTP line and MyECO World, the latter boasting a 265% year-to-date sales growth. The company is also actively marketing its 11.6-acre Hillsboro, Oregon property for sale or lease, seeking to bolster the balance sheet. Despite current market volatility, the leadership remains committed to driving shareholder value through growth drivers, operational improvements, and strategic asset management. Outlook: Tariff uncertainties expected to persist through the fourth quarter, with emphasis on continued product innovation and cost management initiatives LTP and MyECO World recognized as key growth engines moving forward Focus remains on margin recovery, cash flow improvement, and monetization of non-core assets Management anticipates potential margin normalization if tariff volatility stabilizes About Inside Ticker: For more expert analysis and real-time updates on Jewett-Cameron Trading Company (NASDAQ: JCTC) and other market movers, follow Inside Ticker and visit InsideTicker.com for in-depth reports, financial insights, and the latest news on leading companies. #JewettCameron #JCTC #Q32025 #Earnings #FinancialResults #RevenueDecline #LifetimeSteelPost #MetalFencing #TariffImpact #GrossMargin #NetLoss #OperationalEfficiency #CostControl #MyECOWorld #PetSegment #CashFlow #StockMarket #Investing #InsideTicker #Innovation #AssetSale #ShareholderValue #BusinessUpdate #Guidance #GrowthStrategy #HillsboroProperty #MarginRecovery #USMarket #RetailExpansion #SupplyChainOptimization
