Kevin Murphy, Ferguson CEO, commented, "Our associates continued to take care of our customers, outperform the market and drive solid growth in the third quarter. The combination of strong volume growth, gross margin actions, moderating deflation and the early benefits of streamlining our business drove adjusted operating profit growth and adjusted operating margin expansion.

Summary of financial results
Third quarter
Net sales of $7.6 billion were 4.3% ahead of last year driven by organic revenue growth of 5.0% and acquisition growth of 1.0%, partially offset by 1.7% from the adverse impact of one fewer sales day and foreign exchange rates. Improvement in finished goods pricing was offset by continued weakness in certain commodity related categories, resulting in overall pricing being broadly flat in the quarter.
Gross margin of 31.0% was 50 basis points above last year driven by specific actions taken to better capture the value we deliver to customers while also maintaining market share gains, as well as moderating deflation. We continued to tightly manage the cost base with expense growth driven by higher volumes, cost inflation and continued selective investment in core capabilities for future growth.
Reported operating profit was $606 million (8.0% operating margin), 3.0% below last year due to the non-recurring business restructuring charges. Adjusted operating profit of $715 million (9.4% adjusted operating margin) was 6.1% above last year.
Reported diluted earnings per share was $2.07 (Q3 2024: $2.18), a decrease of 5.0% compared to last year, while adjusted diluted earnings per share of $2.50 increased 7.8% due to the higher adjusted operating profit and the impact of share repurchases.
US - third quarter
Net sales in the US business increased by 4.5%, with organic revenue growth of 5.0% and a further 1.0% contribution from acquisitions, partially offset by a 1.5% adverse impact from one fewer sales day.
Residential end markets, which comprise just over half of US revenue, remained subdued across both new construction and repair, maintenance and improvement. Overall, our residential revenue grew approximately 2% in the third quarter.
Non-residential end markets, representing just under half of US revenue, were stronger than residential end markets with increased activity on large capital projects. We continued to grow share with non-residential revenue growth of approximately 7% in the third quarter. We delivered mid to high-single digit growth across commercial and industrial end markets, with low double digit growth in our civil/infrastructure end markets.
Adjusted operating profit of $726 million was 6.0% or $41 million above last year.
We completed two US acquisitions during the quarter, Independent Pipe & Supply Corp., a leading commercial/mechanical distributor in the Northeast and Light Innovations Inc., a residential building and remodel showroom located in Little Rock, Arkansas that will further support the Ferguson Home strategy.
Canada - third quarter
Net sales decreased by 0.3%, with organic revenue growth of 3.0% and a 2.8% contribution from acquisitions, partially offset by a 4.4% adverse impact from foreign exchange rates and a 1.7% adverse impact of one fewer sales day. Residential activity has continued to be soft with non-residential activity remaining more resilient. Adjusted operating profit of $8 million was $2 million above last year.
During the quarter we completed the acquisition of National Fire (collectively, National Fire Equipment Ltd. and National Fire Fabrication Ltd.), a market leader of fire and fabrication products and services operating from seven locations across eastern and western Canada.
Business Restructuring
We have implemented targeted actions to streamline operations, enhancing speed and efficiency to better serve customers and drive further profitable growth. As a result of these actions, non-recurring charges of $68 million were incurred in the quarter with these measures expected to generate annualized savings of approximately $100 million.

Ferguson Enterprises Inc.Non-GAAP Reconciliations and Supplementary Information(unaudited)
Non-GAAP items
This announcement contains certain financial information that is not presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures include adjusted operating profit, adjusted operating margin, adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per share - diluted, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted effective tax rate, net debt and net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide users of the Company's financial information with additional meaningful information to assist in understanding financial results and assessing the Company's performance from period to period. Management believes these measures are important indicators of operations because they exclude items that may not be indicative of our core operating results and provide a better baseline for analyzing trends in our underlying businesses, and they are consistent with how business performance is planned, reported and assessed internally by management and the Board. Such non-GAAP adjustments include amortization of acquired intangible assets, discrete tax items, and any other items that are non-recurring. Non-recurring items may include various restructuring charges, gains or losses on the disposals of businesses which by their nature do not reflect primary operations, as well as certain other items deemed non-recurring in nature and/or that are not a result of the Company's primary operations. Because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare these financial measures with other companies' non-GAAP financial measures having the same or similar names. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results reported under U.S. GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of operations that, when viewed with U.S. GAAP results, provide a more complete understanding of the business. The Company strongly encourages investors and shareholders to review the Company's financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure.
The Company does not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures on a forward-looking basis because it is unable to predict with reasonable certainty or without unreasonable effort non-recurring items, such as those described above, that may arise in the future. The variability of these items is unpredictable and may have a significant impact.
Summary of Organic Revenue
Management evaluates organic revenue as it provides a consistent measure of the change in revenue year-on-year. Organic revenue growth (or decline) is determined as the growth (or decline) in total reported revenue excluding the growth (or decline) attributable to currency exchange rate fluctuations, sales days, acquisitions and disposals, divided by the preceding financial year's revenue at the current year's exchange rates.

MEG Q1 Earnings Call: Organic Growth, Regulatory Tailwinds, and Margin Expansion Drive Results

Environmental services provider Montrose (NYSE:MEG) reported Q1 CY2025 results beating Wall Street's revenue expectations , with sales up 14.5% year on year to $177.8 million. The company's full-year revenue guidance of $760 million at the midpoint came in 0.7% above analysts' estimates. Its non-GAAP profit of $0.07 per share was significantly above analysts' consensus estimates. Is now the time to buy MEG? Find out in our full research report (it's free). Revenue: $177.8 million vs analyst estimates of $167.8 million (14.5% year-on-year growth, 6% beat) Adjusted EPS: $0.07 vs analyst estimates of -$0.09 (significant beat) The company reconfirmed its revenue guidance for the full year of $760 million at the midpoint EBITDA guidance for the full year is $106.5 million at the midpoint, above analyst estimates of $104.5 million Operating Margin: -5.9%, in line with the same quarter last year Organic Revenue rose 6.6% year on year (1.1% in the same quarter last year) Market Capitalization: $776.7 million Montrose's first quarter performance was shaped by broad-based demand for environmental services across its core segments, with leadership emphasizing organic revenue gains and momentum in high-growth areas. CEO Vijay Manthripragada highlighted that the Measurement and Analysis and Remediation and Reuse segments each contributed to the company's expansion, citing cross-selling efforts and successful execution on large client projects. Management noted that clients, particularly in the private sector, are maintaining their commitment to compliance and sustainability goals despite regulatory and political uncertainty. CFO Allan Dicks further pointed to operational efficiencies and normalization of segment margins as factors supporting higher adjusted EBITDA, reflecting a consistent focus on both top-line growth and profitability. Looking ahead, Montrose's outlook is anchored by expectations of continued organic growth, margin improvement, and resilience against regulatory volatility. Manthripragada stated that emerging state-level environmental policies and ongoing federal activity around PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) regulation are expected to fuel demand, while the company's proprietary PFAS treatment technology positions it well for future projects. Management also pointed to limited exposure to federal spending and minimal anticipated impact from tariffs or macroeconomic shifts, reinforcing confidence in the company's guidance. As Manthripragada explained, 'We are well on track for high single-digit organic revenue growth, and we continue to enhance EBITDA margins, which is evident from our raised EBITDA guidance.' Montrose's leadership attributed the quarter's performance to increased demand in key service areas, client stability amid regulatory changes, and strategic execution on cross-segment opportunities. Measurement and Analysis strength: The Measurement and Analysis segment saw robust demand across both laboratory and field services, with management crediting sustained client requirements for compliance and risk mitigation. Manthripragada explained that broad-based demand, rather than a single driver, propelled the segment's performance, and higher-margin business lines contributed to improved segment profitability. PFAS-related services growth: The company recorded its fifth consecutive quarter of growth in PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) services, which are used to address emerging contaminants in water, air, and soil. Management cited recent federal policy actions as reinforcing long-term demand, and noted that Montrose's proprietary treatment solutions can be adapted to evolving regulatory thresholds. Remediation and Reuse momentum: Revenue in the Remediation and Reuse segment increased, benefiting from organic growth in treatment technologies and support from recent acquisitions. CFO Allan Dicks highlighted that margins in this segment are expected to improve throughout the year as business mix and project timing normalize. Segment margin normalization: Management reported that segment margins are converging toward stated long-term targets through process optimization, automation, and leveraging existing infrastructure. These efforts have contributed to improved operating efficiency and are expected to drive further margin expansion in 2025. Minimal tariff and macroeconomic impact: The company does not expect tariffs or broader macroeconomic conditions to meaningfully affect margins or demand, given the essential nature of its services and the long-term planning cycles of its primarily private sector clients. Montrose's exposure to federal spending is limited, further reducing risk from potential regulatory or budgetary shifts. Montrose's forward outlook is underpinned by consistent demand for environmental compliance solutions, state and federal regulatory developments, and ongoing operational improvements. State-level regulatory drivers: Management believes that increasing influence and activity by U.S. state governments in environmental policy will create new opportunities, particularly for PFAS remediation and water contamination projects. States are expected to play a larger role in setting and enforcing standards, supporting recurring demand for Montrose's services. Margin expansion initiatives: The company is pursuing margin improvement through process automation, operating leverage, and aligning segment-level profitability with long-term targets. The Remediation and Reuse and Measurement and Analysis segments are expected to be the primary contributors to adjusted EBITDA margin gains in 2025. Capital allocation and balance sheet priorities: After completing the redemption of preferred stock, management expects leverage to remain below its long-term target and is prepared to resume strategic M&A when conditions are right. The new stock repurchase program is positioned as an additional tool for shareholder returns, but growth investments and balance sheet optimization remain priorities. In the coming quarters, our team will be monitoring (1) the pace of state-level regulatory developments, especially regarding PFAS standards and remediation projects; (2) progress on operating margin expansion in the Remediation and Reuse and Measurement and Analysis segments; and (3) execution of the capital allocation strategy, including the completion of preferred stock redemptions and balance sheet simplification. Performance in these areas will be key indicators of sustained growth and profitability. Montrose currently trades at a forward EV-to-EBITDA ratio of 8.9×. Should you double down or take your chips?

Edison International (EIX) Fell by Almost 10% This Week. Here's Why.

The share price of Edison International (NYSE:EIX) fell by 9.93% between June 3 and June 10, 2025, putting it among the Energy Stocks that Lost the Most This Week. Let's shed some light on the development. A wide aerial view of an electric power transmission facility with lines, substations, and overhead wires. Edison International (NYSE:EIX) is one of the largest electric utility holding companies in America, focused on providing clean and reliable energy and energy services through its independent companies. Edison International (NYSE:EIX) recently crashed to a 5-year low after analysts at Wolfe Research downgraded the stock to Peer Perform from Outperform, citing the risk from ongoing litigation related the Eaton fire in California earlier this year, the lack of clarity around the new California Assembly bill 1054, and pending rate case issues. Moreover, there have also been reports that the company's subsidiary, Southern California Edison, has underestimated the potential size of the wildfire incident by a factor of ten. Impax Asset Management stated the following regarding Edison International (NYSE:EIX) in its Q1 2025 investor letter: 'Edison International (NYSE:EIX) (Utilities) is an electric utility that generates a substantial portion of its power via renewable sources and has a strong systematic ESG risk profile. The stock has struggled in the aftermath of the California wildfires, as one of the powerlines tied to the Eaton fire comes under Edison's jurisdiction. While liabilities are capped and the long-term story is intact, volatility is likely to continue.' While we acknowledge the potential of EIX as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk. If you're looking for an extremely undervalued AI stock that also stands to benefit significantly from Trump-era tariffs and the onshoring trend, see our free report on the best short-term AI stock.
