Brady Corp. narrowed its full-year earnings outlook as it logged higher profit and sales in its fiscal first quarter.

The maker of workplace products such as safety signs and industrial printers on Monday posted a profit of $53.9 million, or $1.13 a share, for its quarter ended Oct. 31. That is up from $46.8 million, or 97 cents a share, a year earlier.

Stripping out one-time items, adjusted earnings were $1.21 a share.

Quarterly sales climbed 7.5% to $405.3 million. The company attributed most of the increase to acquisitions, further boosted by a 2.8% increase in organic sales and a 1.5% gain from foreign-currency translation.

By region, sales increased 9.6% in the Americas and Asia, and they climbed 3.6% in Europe and Australia.

Looking ahead, Brady now expects earnings per share of $4.57 to $4.82 a share for its fiscal 2026, compared with a prior outlook of $4.55 to $4.85 a share. On an adjusted basis, Brady raised the low end of its earnings outlook to $4.90 a share from $4.85 a share, while maintaining the high end at $5.15 a share.
