Gorman-Rupp Reports Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results
MANSFIELD, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Gorman-Rupp Company (NYSE: GRC) reports financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025. Net sales for the second quarter of 2025 were $179.0 million compared to net sales of $169.5 million for the second quarter of 2024, an increase of 5.6% or $9.5 million. Sales increased in the majority of our markets including a sales increase of $3.5 million in the municipal market due to water and wastewater projects related to increased infrastructure investment. Sales also increased $2.8 million in the fire suppression market, $1.6 million in the industrial market, $1.5 million in the petroleum market, $1.5 million in the repair market, and $0.1 million in the construction market. These increases were partially offset by a sales decrease of $1.2 million in the agriculture market primarily driven by significant declines in farm income, as well as a sales decrease of $0.3 million in the OEM market. Gross profit was $56.1 million for the second quarter of 2025, resulting in gross margin of 31.3%, compared to gross profit of $54.1 million and gross margin of 31.9% for the same period in 2024. The 60 basis point decrease in gross margin was primarily driven by a 120 basis point increase in cost of material, which included a 40 basis point increase in LIFO 2 expense and an 80 basis point increase in cost of material primarily driven by product mix. The increase in cost of material was partially offset by a 60 basis point improvement from labor and overhead leverage due to increased sales. Selling, general and administrative ('SG&A') expenses were $26.0 million and 14.5% of net sales for the second quarter of 2025 compared to $24.9 million and 14.7% of net sales for the same period in 2024. SG&A expenses for the second quarter of 2024 included $1.3 million of refinancing transaction costs and a $1.1 million gain on the sale of a fixed asset. Operating income was $26.9 million for the second quarter of 2025, resulting in an operating margin of 15.0%, compared to operating income of $26.0 million and an operating margin of 15.4% for the same period in 2024. Operating margin decreased 40 basis points compared to the same period in 2024 due to increased cost of material, partially offset by improved leverage on labor, overhead, and SG&A expenses due to increased sales. Interest expense was $6.0 million for the second quarter of 2025 compared to $9.0 million for the same period in 2024. The decrease in interest expense was due primarily to the series of refinancing transactions the Company completed on May 31, 2024, as well as a decrease in outstanding debt. Other income (expense), net was $0.5 million of expense for the second quarter of 2025 compared to $6.3 million of expense for the same period in 2024. Other expense for the second quarter of 2024 included a $4.4 million write-off of unamortized previously deferred debt financing fees and a $1.8 million prepayment fee related to the early retirement of the unsecured Subordinated Credit Facility. Net income was $15.8 million, or $0.60 per share, for the second quarter of 2025 compared to net income of $8.3 million, or $0.32 per share, in the second quarter of 2024. Adjusted earnings per share 1 for the second quarter of 2024 were $0.54 per share. The adjustments to Adjusted earnings per share apply only to the 2024 results. Adjusted EBITDA 1 was $35.3 million for the second quarter of 2025 compared to $35.4 million for the second quarter of 2024. Year to date 2025 Highlights Net sales of $343.0 million increased 4.3%, or $14.2 million, compared to the first six months of 2024 Net income was $27.9 million, or $1.06 per share, compared to net income of $16.2 million, or $0.62 per share for the first six months of 2024 Adjusted earnings per share 1 for the first six months of 2024 were $0.84 Adjusted EBITDA 1 of $65.0 million for the first six months of 2025 increased $1.4 million or 2.2% from $63.6 million for the same period in 2024 Total debt decreased $30.0 million through the first six months of 2025 Net sales for the first six months of 2025 were $343.0 million compared to net sales of $328.8 million for the first six months of 2024, an increase of 4.3% or $14.2 million. Sales increased in the majority of our markets including a sales increase of $5.4 million in the municipal market due to water and wastewater projects related to increased infrastructure investment, $4.8 million in the repair market, $3.5 million in the fire suppression market, $2.5 million in the petroleum market, $2.2 million in the OEM market, and $0.6 million in the industrial market. Offsetting these increases was a decrease of $2.6 million in the construction market due to a general slow down in construction activity including sales into the rental market and $2.2 million in the agriculture market primarily driven by significant declines in farm income. Gross profit was $106.4 million for the first six months of 2025, resulting in gross margin of 31.0%, compared to gross profit of $102.5 million and gross margin of 31.2% for the same period in 2024. The 20 basis point decrease in gross margin included a 10 basis point increase in cost of material, primarily driven by increased LIFO 2 expense, and a 10 basis point increase in labor and overhead expenses as a percent of sales. Selling, general and administrative ('SG&A') expenses were $51.1 million and 14.9% of net sales for the first six months of 2025 compared to $49.8 million and 15.2% of net sales for the same period in 2024. SG&A expenses for the first six months of 2024 included $1.3 million of refinancing transaction costs and a $1.1 million gain on the sale of a fixed asset. Operating income was $49.0 million for the first six months of 2025, resulting in an operating margin of 14.3%, compared to operating income of $46.5 million and operating margin of 14.1% for the same period in 2024. Operating margin in the first six months of 2025 increased 20 basis points compared to the same period in 2024 primarily due to improved leverage on SG&A expenses. Interest expense was $12.2 million for the first six months of 2025 compared to $19.1 million for the same period in 2024. The decrease in interest expense was due to a series of debt refinancing transactions the Company completed on May 31, 2024, as well as a decrease in outstanding debt. Other income (expense), net was $0.9 million of expense for the first six months of 2025 compared to $6.6 million of expense for the same period in 2024. Other expense for the first six months of 2024 included a $4.4 million write-off of unamortized previously deferred debt financing fees and a $1.8 million prepayment fee related to the early retirement of the unsecured Subordinated Credit Facility. Net income was $27.9 million, or $1.06 per share, for the first six months of 2025 compared to net income of $16.2 million, or $0.62 per share, for the first six months of 2024. Adjusted earnings per share 1 for the first six months of 2024 were $0.84 per share. The adjustments to Adjusted earnings per share apply only to the 2024 results. Adjusted EBITDA 1 was $65.0 million for the first six months of 2025 compared to $63.6 million for the first six months of 2024. The Company's backlog of orders was $224.4 million at June 30, 2025 compared to $206.0 million at December 31, 2024, and $224.4 million at June 30, 2024. Incoming orders for the first six months of 2025 were $365.7 million, an increase of 7.1%, or $24.4 million, compared to the same period in 2024. Net cash provided by operating activities for the first six months of 2025 was $48.9 million compared to $33.4 million for the same period in 2024. The increase in cash provided by operating activities in the first six months of 2025 was primarily due to increased net income and an increase in accrued expenses. Capital expenditures for the first six months of 2025 were $6.0 million and consisted primarily of machinery and equipment. Capital expenditures for the full-year 2025 are presently planned to be approximately $20.0 million. Total debt decreased $30.0 million during the first six months of 2025. Scott A. King, President and CEO, commented, 'We were pleased to report record sales, earnings per share and incoming orders during the quarter. Sales increased in the majority of our markets led by the municipal market benefiting from infrastructure spending, including strong demand for flood control and storm water management. In addition, a number of our markets are benefiting from increased demand related to data center construction. While we will continue to monitor tariffs and plan to mitigate their impact through selling price increases, we believe that our primarily U.S. based supply chain provides a competitive advantage. Our strong cash flow has allowed us to reduce our debt levels, including a $30 million reduction in the first half of 2025, contributing to our significant improvement in interest expense. With positive incoming order trends and current backlog levels, we are well positioned for the second half of the year.' About The Gorman-Rupp Company Founded in 1933, The Gorman-Rupp Company is a leading designer, manufacturer and international marketer of pumps and pump systems for use in diverse water, wastewater, construction, dewatering, industrial, petroleum, original equipment, agriculture, fire suppression, heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC), military and other liquid-handling applications. (1) Non-GAAP Information This release includes certain non-GAAP financial data and measures such as adjusted earnings, adjusted earnings per share, and adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ('Adjusted EBITDA'). Adjusted earnings is earnings excluding the write-off of unamortized previously deferred debt financing fees and refinancing costs. Adjusted earnings per share is earnings per share excluding the write-off of unamortized previously deferred debt financing fees per share and refinancing costs per share. Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization is net income (loss) excluding interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted to exclude the write-off of unamortized previously deferred debt financing fees, refinancing costs, and non-cash LIFO 2 expense. Management utilizes these adjusted financial data and measures to assess comparative operations against those of prior periods without the distortion of non-comparable factors. The inclusion of these adjusted measures should not be construed as an indication that the Company's future results will be unaffected by unusual or infrequent items or that the items for which the Company has made adjustments are unusual or infrequent or will not recur. Further, the impact of the LIFO 2 inventory costing method can cause results to vary substantially from company to company depending upon whether they elect to utilize LIFO 2 and depending upon which method they may elect. The Gorman-Rupp Company believes that these non-GAAP financial data and measures also will be useful to investors in assessing the strength of the Company's underlying operations and liquidity from period to period. These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to replace GAAP financial measures, and they are not necessarily standardized or comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Provided later in this release is a reconciliation of adjusted earnings, adjusted earnings per share, and adjusted EBITDA to its corresponding GAAP financial measure, which includes a description of actual adjustments made in the current period and the corresponding prior period. (2) LIFO Inventory Method The majority of the Company's inventories are valued on the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method and stated at the lower of cost or market. Current cost approximates replacement cost, or market, and LIFO cost is determined at the end of each fiscal year based on inventory levels on-hand at current replacement cost and a LIFO reserve. The Company uses the simplified LIFO method, under which the LIFO reserve is determined utilizing the inflation factor specified in the Producer Price Index for Machinery and Equipment – Pumps, Compressors and Equipment, as published by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Interim LIFO calculations are based on management's estimate of the expected year-end inflation index and, as such, are subject to adjustment each quarter. When inflation increases, the LIFO reserve and non-cash expense increase. Forward-Looking Statements In connection with the 'safe harbor' provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, The Gorman-Rupp Company provides the following cautionary statement: This news release contains various forward-looking statements based on assumptions concerning The Gorman-Rupp Company's operations, future results and prospects.

Except to the extent required by law, we do not undertake and specifically decline any obligation to review or update any forward-looking statements or to publicly announce the results of any revisions to any of such statements to reflect future events or developments or otherwise.
