Executive summary

  • Net sales for Q3 2025 declined 5% year-over-year to $1.11 billion, with residential sales down 13% and C&I sales up 9%, driven by data center and international demand; net income attributable to shareholders was $66 million, down 41.8% from Q3 2024, mainly due to lower power outages and higher legal expenses.

  • Free cash flow: $96 million, down from $184 million year-over-year, impacted by higher inventory and lower operating income.

  • Adjusted EBITDA margin guidance reduced to ~17% (was 18%-19%), and net income margin to ~6% (was 7.5%-8.5%).

  • Free cash flow conversion from adjusted net income now ~80% (was 90%-100%), or ~$300 million for 2025.

  • Effective tax rate for 2025: 20%-20.5%; interest expense: $70M-$74M; capex: 3.5% of net sales, up 0.5% for data center expansion.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
