2025 Annual Earnings Highlights

Key Highlights

Net Sales Grew 8.7% Net sales reached $8.20B USD in 2025, marking an 8.7% increase driven by unit sales and improved contract signings.
Operating Income Expansion Operating income grew 9.6% to $1.66B USD, leveraging SG&A expenses for a 20 basis point operating margin improvement.
FMI Devices Installed Base Weighted FMI devices installed base increased 7.6% to 136,638 MEUs, supporting digital footprint growth to 62.4% of sales.
Strong Operating Cash Flow Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $1.30B USD, reflecting improved working capital efficiency compared to the prior year.

Risk Factors

Gross Margin Mix Headwind Gross profit percentage slightly contracted to 45.0% due to sustained shift toward lower margin contract and Onsite customers.
Tariff and Cost Inflation Exposure remains high from incremental tariffs and cost inflation, though 2025 net income impact was immaterial due to pricing actions.
Talent Retention Challenges Inability to recruit and retain qualified personnel could materially affect sales and delay planned expansion of various selling channels.
Sluggish Manufacturing Environment Manufacturing end markets outperformed slightly, but the overall environment remained sluggish with PMI averaging below 50 for 10 months.

Outlook

Digital Footprint Goal Set Expect sales volume running through the Digital Footprint to achieve 66% in 2026, up from 62.4% achieved in December 2025.
Increased Capital Spending Forecast Net Capital Expenditures projected higher for 2026, targeting a range of $310.0M to $330.0M, reflecting delayed 2025 projects.
Planned CEO Transition CEO transition is scheduled for July 16, 2026, with current President and Chief Sales Officer, Jeffery M. Watts, appointed as successor.
LIFT Support Expansion Target LIFT support for FMI sales, currently at 11% in 2025, is expected to approximate 40% of total FMI sales over time.
