MILWAUKEE, Oct. 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Enerpac Tool Group Corp. (NYSE: EPAC) (the “Company” or “Enerpac”) today announced results for its fiscal fourth quarter ended August 31, 2025.

“I am proud of the investments we have made and actions we have taken in fiscal 2025 to continue to enhance business operations and the power of the Enerpac brand,” said Paul Sternlieb, Enerpac Tool Group’s President & CEO. “In what remains a challenging macro-environment for the general industrial marketplace, the Company posted record revenue, maintained industry-leading margins, generated strong cash flow, and returned $71 million to investors through share repurchases and dividends while preserving an extremely strong balance sheet and financial flexibility. Moreover, the integration of the acquired DTA business is fully on track, with an excellent sales funnel as we cross-sell its technology to legacy Enerpac customers.”

Fiscal 2025 Consolidated Results from Continuing Operations Comparisons

Consolidated net sales were $616.9 million compared to $589.5 million in the prior-year period, an increase of 4.6%. On an organic basis, sales increased 1.0% year-over-year, driven by Industrial Tools & Services segment (IT&S) organic growth of 0.5% and 14.8% growth at Cortland Biomedical.

Net sales for IT&S increased 4.3%, driven by the acquisition of DTA and organic growth. On an organic basis, IT&S product revenue and service revenue increased 0.3% and 1.3%, respectively.

Gross profit margin declined 60 basis points year-over-year to 50.5% driven by service margins and the inclusion of DTA, partially offset by stronger margins at Heavy Lifting Technology (HLT) and Cortland Biomedical.

Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) of $172.8 million decreased $3.2 million year-over-year. The decrease in SG&A expense was driven primarily by the absence of ASCEND-related charges in fiscal 2025. Adjusted SG&A expense, excluding ASCEND, restructuring, and M&A charges in both periods, increased $3.1 million to $165.5 million, but declined as a percentage of revenues as the Company continues to optimize SG&A efficiency.

Fiscal 2025 net earnings and diluted EPS were $92.7 million and $1.70 respectively, compared to $82.2 million and $1.50, respectively, in fiscal 2024.

Fiscal 2025 adjusted EBITDA was $153.6 million compared to $147.5 million in fiscal 2024, an increase of 4%. The adjusted EBITDA margin of 24.9% was roughly flat year-over-year.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $111.3 million in fiscal 2025, compared to $81.3 million in fiscal 2024. The increase in cash from operations was driven by improvements in working capital and higher net earnings. Capital expenditures for fiscal 2025 were $19.3 million, an increase of $7.9 million, primarily related to the build-out of the Company’s new global headquarters in downtown Milwaukee.

Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2025 Consolidated Results Comparisons

Consolidated net sales for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 were $167.5 million compared to $158.7 million in the prior-year period, an increase of 5.5%. On an organic basis, sales decreased 1.8% year-over-year, driven by IT&S organic decline of 2.2%, partially offset by 10.4% growth at Cortland Biomedical.

Net sales for the IT&S segment increased 5.4%, driven by the acquisition of DTA. On an organic basis, IT&S product revenue and service revenue declined 1.0% and 7.4%, respectively.

Gross profit margin returned to normalized levels at 50.1% in the fourth quarter as compared to 48.8% in the prior-year period. The fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 gross profit margin was negatively impacted by service and HLT.

SG&A of $42.1 million decreased $4.5 million year-over-year. SG&A expense in the year-ago period included restructuring charges of $3.0 million and ASCEND charges of $2.1 million. Adjusted SG&A expense was $41.8 million, up slightly from $41.3 million in the year-ago period.

Fourth quarter fiscal 2025 net earnings and diluted EPS were $28.1 million and $0.52 respectively, compared to $23.4 million and $0.43, respectively, in the year-ago period.

Fourth quarter adjusted EBITDA was $44.5 million compared to $38.6 million in the year-ago period. Adjusted EBITDA margin improved 220 basis points year-over-year to 26.5%.

Net debt on August 31, 2025, was $38.1 million, resulting in a net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio of 0.3x. The company repurchased 1,039,150 shares of its common stock in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 at a cumulative purchase price of $40.1 million. This marks the largest return of capital to Enerpac shareholders in a single quarter since the initiation of the share repurchase program in March of 2022.

Board Authorizes a New $200 Million Share Repurchase Program

In March of 2022, the Enerpac Tool Group’s Board of Directors approved a 10 million share repurchase authorization. Since that authorization was put into effect, the Company has returned approximately $240 million to shareholders through the repurchase of approximately 9.0 million shares at an average cost of $26.71 per share.

On October 10, 2025, the Enerpac Board of Directors approved a new $200 million share repurchase program which will replace the existing authorization effective immediately. “We are pleased to announce this new $200 million share repurchase and continued commitment to returning capital to our shareholders,” said Darren Kozik, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.

Outlook

“We believe with our strong brand and operating model we can continue to outperform the market and drive profitable growth in 2026,” added Sternlieb.

The Company is introducing its fiscal 2026 guidance, including net sales of $635 million to $655 million, based on organic growth of 1% to 4%. The Company also forecasts adjusted EBITDA of $158 million to $168 million, adjusted EPS of $1.85 to $2.00, and free cash flow of $100 million to $110 million. This guidance is based on the Company’s key foreign exchange rate assumptions and assumes no substantial change to the current tariff or regulatory environment.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

This press release contains financial measures that are not measures presented in conformity with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures include organic sales, EBITDA from continuing operations, adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations, adjusted earnings from continuing operations, adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations, adjusted operating profit from continuing operations, segment adjusted operating profit and adjusted EBITDA, adjusted corporate expense, adjusted SG&A expense, free cash flow and net debt. This press release includes reconciliations of non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP measure, included in the tables attached to this press release or in footnotes to the tables included in this press release. Management believes the non-GAAP measures presented in this press release are commonly used financial measures for investors to evaluate Enerpac Tool Group’s operating performance and financial position with respect to the periods presented and, when read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements, present a useful tool to evaluate ongoing operations and provide investors with metrics they can use to evaluate aspects of the Company’s performance from period to period. In addition, these are some of the financial metrics management uses in internal evaluations of the overall performance of the Company’s business. Management acknowledges that there are many items that impact a company’s reported results and the adjustments reflected in these non-GAAP measures are not intended to present all items that may have impacted these results. In addition, these non-GAAP measures are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Adjusted diluted earnings per share anticipated for fiscal year 2026 is calculated in a manner consistent with the historical presentation of that measure in the accompanying tables. Because of the forward-looking nature of this estimate, it is impractical to present a quantitative reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to the comparable GAAP measure, and accordingly no such GAAP measure for that period is being presented.
