Dorel Reports Second Quarter 2025 Results
Dorel Juvenile delivers solid earnings performance led by growth in international markets Dorel Home implementing restructuring strategy amidst a challenging market MONTRÉAL, Aug. 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Dorel Industries Inc. (TSX: DII.B, DII.A) today announced its financial results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2025. Second quarter revenue was US$292.4 million, compared to US$348.1 million, a decrease of 16.0% from the same period a year ago. Reported net loss was US$44.9 million or US$1.38 per diluted share, compared to US$59.5 million or US$1.83 per diluted share last year. Adjusted net loss1 was US$21.1 million or US$0.65 per diluted share compared to US$13.6 million or US$0.42 per diluted share last year. Revenue for the six months was US$612.8 million, compared to US$699.1 million, down 12.3% from the prior year. Reported net loss was US$70.2 million or US$2.15 per diluted share, compared to US$77.1 million or US$2.37 per diluted share a year ago. Adjusted net loss1 for the six months was US$44.8 million or US$1.37 per diluted share, compared to US$30.5 million or US$0.94 per diluted share last year. "Dorel Juvenile delivered a strong second quarter in 2025, building on the momentum from the start of the year, and overcoming the challenges posed by U.S. tariffs. Our performance was driven by strong growth in Europe and key international markets, disciplined cost control and favourable foreign exchange movements. Dorel Home experienced a difficult second quarter with tariff uncertainty and liquidity constraints impeding sales. On June 30th, 2025, we announced our expanded restructuring plan and are actively implementing changes to reduce costs and further streamline operations. We remain confident that the benefits of our Home segment transformation will begin to emerge in the fourth quarter of this year, with full impact expected in 2026," stated Dorel President & CEO, Martin Schwartz. ________________________1 This is a non-GAAP financial ratio or measure with no standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and therefore is unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers.

Second quarter revenue was US$218.1 million, an increase of US$1.6 million, or 0.8% versus last year. Organic revenue1 decreased slightly by 0.4%, after removing the impact of varying foreign exchange rates year-over-year. The growth in the second quarter came from markets other than the U.S. which faced headwinds from tariff-related market instability. Many U.S. customers paused orders as they waited for clarity on the long-term strategy of the U.S. administration on tariff rates. Excluding the decline in revenue in the U.S. market Dorel Juvenile experienced revenue growth of approximately 12% for the quarter. This slow down meant that year-to-date revenue of US$433.9 million, represented an increase of US$4.8 million, or 1.1% from US$429.1 million in 2024. The year-to-date organic revenue1 increase was approximately 1.8%. Adjusted operating profit1 for the quarter was US$7.8 million, US$1.0 million higher than the prior year. Dorel Juvenile Europe was the principal contributor to the improved earnings, more than offsetting the impact of lower sales and earnings in the U.S. Earnings were also helped by favourable foreign exchange rates versus the prior year. Year-to-date adjusted operating profit1 was US$12.0 million, an increase of US$4.0 million or 50.6% versus prior year. Similar to the quarter, Dorel Juvenile Europe was the principal contributor to improved earnings, offsetting declines in the U.S. The majority of the other Juvenile markets have also increased earnings year-to-date versus the prior year as the Juvenile segment overall continues to grow sales and earnings.

Second quarter revenue was US$74.3 million, a decrease of US$57.3 million, or 43.5%, from US$131.6 million last year. The decline was driven primarily by reduced e-commerce gross sales, which declined approximately 51%, and ongoing product availability issues stemming from liquidity constraints and tariff uncertainty. Brick-and-mortar and omni-channel sales accounted for approximately 56% of gross sales in the quarter, up from approximately 49% in the same period last year, reflecting a strategic shift in channel focus. Six-month revenue was US$178.9 million, a decrease of US$91.1 million, or 33.7%, from US$270.0 million last year. The adjusted operating loss1 for the quarter was US$12.7 million, compared to US$8.3 million in the same period last year. The principal cause was lower sales volumes which more than offset the benefit of a lower cost structure that was part of the initial restructuring program implemented prior to the June 30th, 2025 announcement of further cost reduction initiatives. Year-to-date adjusted operating loss1 was US$23.9 million versus US$11.7 million in the prior year. Despite these pressures, the Home segment generated significant free cash flow in the second quarter, primarily through inventory reductions and improved accounts receivable collections. In response to these and other challenges, Dorel announced an accelerated restructuring plan on June 30th, 2025, including the decision to cease manufacturing operations at its Cornwall, Ontario facility. It is expected that the wind-down of these operations will be completed by the end of the third quarter of this year to minimize losses and fulfil customer obligations. This decision is part of a broader transition to a leaner organization with a reduced product line, focused on profitable categories. The segment will operate with a reduced footprint and integrate back-office operations into Dorel Juvenile's infrastructure. The Home segment is actively working on exiting product categories that are now considered non-core, including a plan to significantly reduce inventory by the end of the year, thereby allowing for a smaller distribution footprint. Warehouse consolidation efforts are underway, with Canadian and California operations transitioning into Dorel Juvenile facilities. The Company is also finalizing its East Coast distribution strategy. During the quarter, the Home segment recorded restructuring costs of US$22.4 million, of which US$13.2 million was for the non-cash write-down of equipment and inventory. The remaining amount of US$9.2 million was for accrued severance costs, the majority of which is to be paid out after the closure of the Cornwall manufacturing operations at the end of the third quarter of this year. The benefits of the Cornwall, Ontario, manufacturing facility closure will begin only in the fourth quarter of this year, however included in the severance amount were other headcount reductions initiated in May, generating US$0.8 million in monthly savings beginning in June 2025. Long-Term Debt and Financing Update On August 7, 2025, the Company announced it again amended its asset backed loan facility and term loan facility whereby Dorel's lenders agreed to continue to forebear from enforcing their rights and exercising their remedies under both the ABL facility and term loan facility further to a default by Dorel relating to certain financial covenants. As part of the amendment, the Company will receive access to US$20.0 million additional liquidity under the ABL facility, available in three tranches subject to meeting availability requirements, in order to finance new inventory and must continue to provide the lenders with additional reporting during the forbearance period. Also as previously announced, the Company has engaged two leading capital market advisors to assist in re-capitalizing the Company's balance sheet to allow for growth in the Juvenile segment and support the re-organization of the Home segment. The new structure will replace the current debt structure which no longer matches the Company's needs. As of today, the process has advanced, and the Company expects a new structure to be in place around the end of the third quarter of this year. Outlook 'Despite the challenges of U.S. tariffs, the Juvenile segment is well positioned relative to competitors based on its worldwide footprint and domestic manufacturing capabilities in the U.S. This was evidenced in the second quarter as reduced earnings in the U.S. were more than offset by improved earnings in our other markets. With our facilities in the U.S., which could present further opportunities going forward, and our strong international business, we expect to continue to improve earnings and remain on track for a better 2025 versus 2024. Dorel Home is entering a pivotal phase in its transformation journey, with the second half of 2025 focused on executing the structural changes initiated this year. We are confident that the actions taken, streamlining operations, integrating with Dorel Juvenile, and transitioning to a more agile distribution model, will position us for a return to profitability in 2026,' commented Dorel President & CEO, Martin Schwartz. "The Company continues to work with key customers and suppliers to maintain strong relationships during this period of transition and we are appreciative of that support. We are on track to secure additional financing, and when we do this added liquidity will mean a much healthier Dorel on day one. This will coincide with our reduced cost structure in Dorel Home, and with our on-going growth in Dorel Juvenile, we will have the ability to better serve our customers and work even more closely with our key suppliers,' concluded Mr. Schwartz.

Definition and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Ratios and Measures Dorel presents in this press release certain non-GAAP financial ratios and measures, as described below. These non-GAAP financial ratios and measures do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and therefore are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. These non-GAAP financial ratios and measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for a measure prepared in accordance with IFRS. Contained within this press release are reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial ratios and measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with IFRS. Dorel believes that the non-GAAP financial ratios and measures used in this press release provide investors with additional information to analyze its results and to measure its financial performance by excluding the variation caused by certain items that Dorel believes do not reflect its core business performance and provides better comparability between the periods presented. Excluding these items does not imply they are necessarily non-recurring. The non-GAAP financial measures are also used by management to assess Dorel's financial performance and to make operating and strategic decisions. Adjustments to non-GAAP financial ratios and measuresAs noted above, certain of our non-GAAP financial measures and ratios exclude the variation caused by certain adjustments that affect the comparability of Dorel's financial results and could potentially distort the analysis of trends in its business performance. Adjustments which impact more than one non-GAAP financial ratio and measure are explained below. Restructuring costsRestructuring costs are comprised of costs directly related to significant exit activities, including the sale of manufacturing facilities, closure of businesses, reorganization, optimization, transformation, and consolidation to improve the competitive position of the Company in the marketplace and to reduce costs and bring efficiencies, and acquisition-related costs in connection with business acquisitions. Restructuring costs are included as an adjustment of adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross margin, adjusted operating profit (loss), adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share. Restructuring costs were respectively US$23.8 million and US$25.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 (2024 – US$0.6 million and US$1.4 million). Refer to the section 'Impairment loss on goodwill and restructuring costs' in the MD&A for more details. Impairment loss on goodwillImpairment loss on goodwill is included as an adjustment of adjusted operating profit (loss), adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share. Impairment loss on goodwill was respectively $45.3 million and $45.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 (none in 2025). Refer to the section 'Impairment loss on goodwill and restructuring costs' in the MD&A for more details. Adjusted gross profit and adjusted gross marginAdjusted gross profit is calculated as gross profit excluding the impact of restructuring costs. Adjusted gross margin is a non-GAAP ratio and is calculated as adjusted gross profit divided by revenue. Dorel uses adjusted gross profit and adjusted gross margin to measure its performance from one period to the next, without the variation caused by the impacts of the items described above. Dorel also uses adjusted gross profit and adjusted gross margin on a segment basis to measure its performance at the segment level. Dorel excludes this item because it affects the comparability of its financial results and could potentially distort the analysis of trends in its business performance. Certain investors and analysts use the adjusted gross profit and adjusted gross margin to measure the business performance of the Company as a whole and at the segment level from one period to the next, without the variation caused by the impact of the restructuring costs. Excluding this item does not imply it is necessarily non-recurring. These ratios and measures do not have any standardized meanings prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to a similar measure presented by other companies.

Urgent recall of kitchen essential sold at Walmart and Target that breaks during use and causes head injuries
More than 300,000 kitchen step stools sold at major retailers including Target and Walmart have been recalled after reports of them breaking mid-use — in some cases causing head injuries The recall, announced July 31, affects Cosco 2-step kitchen dteppers made by Dorel Home. The US Consumer Product Safety Commission said the stools pose a fall and injury hazard because their safety bars can detach or break unexpectedly. At least 34 incidents have been reported so far, including two head injuries. The steppers were sold for between $56 and $70 from February 2021 through July 2025, both in-store and online at Target, Home Depot, Lowe's, Walmart, BJ's Wholesale Club, Wayfair, Overstock, and Amazon. Owners of affected models — listed below — are urged to stop using them immediately and contact Dorel for a free repair kit. The kit includes a locking mechanism to better secure the safety bar, along with installation instructions. The kitchen stools are part of a wider wave of alarming product recalls this summer tied to injuries and even deaths. The affected kitchen steppers have 'cosco' molded onto to the handles A recall was issued for 192,000 KidKraft Farm to Table play kitchens on July 31 because they are a strangulation risk to kids. The CPSC found the product caused the death of a 23-month-old in Oregon two years ago. Over 3.6 million hoses were recalled i July following 222 reports of hoses bursting, causing 29 injuries — including bruises, two sprained bones and five cases of temporary hearing loss. A recall was also issued for five million above-ground swimming pools after a design flaw was linked to nine child drownings. Along with these summertime essentials, there have been scores of recalls by automakers — including Chrysler, Volkswagen and General Motors. Kia is one of the latest to recall vehicles after the South Korean automaker discovered parts would fly out mid-drive. Blaming it on 'supplier quality issues,' more than 300,000 automobiles were part of the recall. Approximately 201,000 vehicles were impacted by the recall. The manufacturer has not confirmed if any injuries or deaths were reported as a result of the issue. The affected steppers' model numbers are 11349WHG1E, 11349GRN1E, 11349NVY1E, 11349WHG2, 11349GRN4, 11349GRN12, 11349WHG12C, 11349WHG12W, 11349WHG4F, and 11349CBWH4

Dorel Industries to close domestic manufacturing operations as it cuts home segment
MONTREAL – Dorel Industries Inc. is restructuring its operations to cut the size of its home segment and eliminating its domestic manufacturing operations based in Cornwall, Ont. The company says the decision to cease all Dorel Home manufacturing operations in North America was made after an extensive review. It says the move will result in substantial savings based on a smaller footprint and workforce and eliminate the losses from the domestic operation. Dorel's home business produces a wide range of home furnishings, while its juvenile business is focused on products such as child car seats, strollers and other baby gear. The wind-down of the home operations is expected to be complete by the end of the third quarter. Dorel says the benefits of these changes are expected to improve earnings by the fourth quarter of this year. Monday Mornings The latest local business news and a lookahead to the coming week.
