Article content

Chefs' Warehouse (CHEF) Q2 Revenue Up 8%
Key Points Earnings per share (Non-GAAP) rose to $0.52, beating the analyst estimate by 13.0 %. Revenue (GAAP) grew 8.4% to $1,034.9 million, topping expectations and led by strength in specialty categories. Profitability expanded with higher gross margins These 10 stocks could mint the next wave of millionaires › Chefs' Warehouse (NASDAQ:CHEF), a specialty food distributor with a focus on high-end restaurants and culinary professionals, released results on July 30, 2025. It reported GAAP revenue of $1,034.9 million and earnings per share (Non-GAAP) of $0.52. These figures surpassed analyst expectations, which had projected $1,013.5 million in GAAP revenue. The period showed notable strength in gross profit and operating leverage. Overall, the quarter reflected strong execution on key initiatives and cautious optimism as the company modestly raised its full-year financial guidance. Metric Q2 2025 Q2 2025 Estimate Q2 2024 Y/Y Change EPS (Non-GAAP) $0.52 $0.46 $0.40 30.0 % Revenue $1,034.9 million $1,013.5 million $954.7 million 8.4 % Net Income $21.2 million $15.5 million 36.8 % Adjusted EBITDA $65.4 million $56.2 million 16.4 % Gross Profit $254.3 million $229.0 million 11.1 % Source: Analyst estimates provided by FactSet. Management expectations based on management's guidance, as provided in Q1 2025 earnings report. Understanding Chefs' Warehouse: Business Model and Strategic Focus Chefs' Warehouse is a distributor of specialty foods, center-of-the-plate proteins (such as meat and seafood), and staple kitchen ingredients. Its customers include independent and fine-dining restaurants, hotels, country clubs, and gourmet food retailers. The company differentiates itself by offering over 88,000 unique products, sourced from more than 4,000 suppliers globally, including artisan producers and family-owned businesses. Recent strategic focus has centered on broadening its product catalog, investing in digital ordering systems, and deepening supplier partnerships. It also has a disciplined approach to shedding lower-margin, non-core business—such as commodity poultry—which provides more room to grow higher-margin specialty offerings. Expansion into new geographies, both within the US and internationally, supports ongoing growth. Key success factors include maintaining exclusive supplier connections, understanding culinary trends, and supporting chefs through a skilled and specialized sales force. Quarterly Highlights: Growth Drivers and Notable Changes The company saw organic revenue growth powered by increased demand for specialty foods. The specialty food category posted an organic case count increase of 3.5%, while unique customer relationships and product placements rose by 3.6% and 8.7%, respectively. A deliberate exit from a low-margin commodity poultry program in the center-of-the-plate segment led to a 4.0% decline in organic pounds sold in that category. This was an anticipated shift, outlined by management as part of its ongoing effort to prioritize profitability, resulting in improved average margin per unit sold despite lower overall volume. Profitability improved at multiple levels. Gross profit margin expanded by 59 basis points from the prior year period, reaching 24.6%. Operating income as a percentage of revenue (GAAP) also improved. While selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) expenses (GAAP) rose 9.7%, outpacing revenue growth, higher profits from product mix and pricing contributed to stronger overall margins. Investments in compensation and facility upgrades drove the rise in SG&A expenses, but management stated these costs are in support of future scalability. The company accelerated adoption of its online ordering system, which now handles roughly 58% of specialty customer orders in the US as of Q1 FY2025, up from 48% at the end of FY2023. This investment in the digital channel supports operational efficiency. Internationally, the Middle East segment displayed better-than-expected performance, supported by a new facility. Looking Ahead: Guidance and What to Watch Management moderately raised its full-year FY2025 guidance, with revenue expectations now between $4.0 billion and $4.06 billion. Gross profit (GAAP) outlook increased to a range of $964 million to $979 million, and Adjusted EBITDA—an earnings metric excluding interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization—was guided to $240 million to $250 million. These updates reflect ongoing strength in core categories and digital initiatives, while also indicating a measured approach given economic uncertainties such as potential tariff adjustments and input cost swings. For the quarters ahead, investors will want to watch Margin trends, SG&A expense ratios, and management of the company's debt load—$690 million in long-term obligations as of June 27, 2025—remain important markers to watch. Chefs' Warehouse does not currently pay a dividend. Revenue and net income presented using U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) unless otherwise noted.

CSW Industrials (CSWI) Q1 Revenue Up 17%
Key Points Revenue rose 16.6% in Q1 fiscal 2026, but missed analyst expectations by 17.5% (GAAP). Adjusted earnings per share (Non-GAAP) grew 2.5%, but were 10.1% below estimates. Organic growth declined 2.8%, and gross margin (GAAP) shrank to 43.8% due to cost inflation and product mix. These 10 stocks could mint the next wave of millionaires › CSW Industrials (NYSE:CSW), an industrials company specializing in heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration (HVAC/R), plumbing, and building products, reported its earnings for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, on July 31, 2025. The most notable news was that revenue reached a record $263.6 million in the fiscal first quarter, up 16.6% from the prior year, but still fell well below analyst estimates. Adjusted earnings per share (EPS) came in at $2.85, also missing consensus. Despite record headline numbers driven by acquisitions, underlying organic sales fell 2.8%, and profit margins narrowed. The quarter showed mixed results amid ongoing integration costs, tariff headwinds, and softness in key sectors. Metric Q1 fiscal 2026(Quarter Ended June 30, 2025) Q1 fiscal 2026 Estimate Q1 fiscal 2025(Quarter Ended June 30, 2024) Y/Y Change EPS (Non-GAAP) $2.85 $3.17 $2.78 2.5% Revenue $263.6 million $319.35 million $226.2 million 16.6% Operating Income $54.9 million $55.1 million -0.4% EBITDA $68.7 million $65.3 million 5.2% Free Cash Flow $57.7 million $59.6 million -3.2% Source: Analyst estimates provided by FactSet. Management expectations based on management's guidance, as provided in Q4 2025 earnings report. Business overview and recent focus CSW Industrials operates across three main segments: Contractor Solutions, Engineered Building Solutions, and Specialized Reliability Solutions. Its products include HVAC/R components, specialty lubricants, and safety solutions, targeting end markets such as HVAC/R, plumbing, general industrial, architectural building products, energy, mining, and rail. The company has recently focused on expanding its reach in value-added HVAC/R and plumbing products through acquisitions. The ability to balance organic growth, effective acquisition integration, and margin management remains a key success factor for the business. Quarter highlights: Results, drivers, and segment details The quarter saw reported revenue up 16.6% from the prior year, with growth from the acquisition of Aspen Manufacturing, PSP Products, and PF WaterWorks more than offsetting a decline in organic revenue. However, organic revenue actually declined by 2.8%, with softness in major end markets dampening underlying performance even as acquired businesses contributed top-line growth. Gross profit grew by 7.5%, but gross margin fell sharply compared to last year. The margin drop, from 47.5% to 43.8%, resulted from lower-margin contributions from acquired businesses and ongoing tariff and input cost pressures. Operating expenses increased due to the broader company scope and integration efforts, but represented a slightly lower share of revenue, reflecting attention to cost control. Operating income came in essentially flat with last year, while EBITDA rose 5.3%. Despite these records, the margin contraction is noteworthy. Free cash flow, which measures cash left after capital expenditures and is an important indicator of financial flexibility, fell 3.2% from the prior year. The company borrowed $135 million to help fund acquisitions but paid back $40 million, leaving net leverage at a low 0.2 times EBITDA. Performance varied across business segments. In Contractor Solutions, revenue rose 22.6%, with growth from acquisitions more than offsetting a decline in organic revenue; organic revenue dropped 4.6%. Operating profit in the segment grew, but gross margin shrank to 43.8% due to acquisition mix and sales mix/volume leverage. Specialized Reliability Solutions revenue was flat, but operating income tumbled 26.7% as commodity costs and one-time consolidation expenses weighed on profitability. The Engineered Building Solutions division posted a modest revenue increase, but its operating income fell, reflecting tariff impacts and ongoing investment in sales and research and development. The quarterly dividend remained steady at $0.27 per share. Products and acquisitions: Expanding capabilities This period saw the continued integration of Aspen Manufacturing, a producer of air handlers and evaporator coils for HVAC/R systems. These components are used chiefly for repair and replacement in building climate control systems. The acquisition emphasizes US-based manufacturing, which can help limit the effect of international tariffs on imported goods. CSW Industrials' acquisition strategy in the HVAC/R and plumbing categories is designed to strengthen its portfolio of niche, value-added products. The company has further raised research and development spending in Engineered Building Solutions, working on new fire and smoke protection solutions and related architectural products, though these investments contributed to near-term margin pressure. Financial outlook and investor considerations Management reaffirmed its outlook for fiscal 2026, expecting full-year organic revenue growth and adjusted EBITDA growth for each segment. For fiscal 2026, consolidated earnings per share are also expected to rise, though growth will trail EBITDA gains due to a higher share count, interest costs from acquisition funding, and increased amortization. Leaders cited ongoing risks tied to tariffs, input inflation, and the challenge of restoring profitability in newly acquired units with thinner margins. No specific quarterly guidance was provided. The quarterly dividend was held steady at $0.27 per share. Looking ahead, investors may want to watch for improvement in organic sales growth, gross and EBITDA margin recovery, and successful integration of recently acquired operations -- all of which are likely to shape the company's performance in the coming quarters.
