Q2 2025 earnings summary6 Aug, 2025

Executive summary

  • Q2 2025 revenues declined 18–19% year-over-year to $956.6–$957M, mainly due to lower volumes, pricing pressures, and tariff-related uncertainty, but rose 5% sequentially.

  • Adjusted operating profit fell to $5–$7.2M, with net loss at $13.9–$14M, impacted by lower gross profit and $15M+ in restructuring and impairment charges.

  • Both Lift Truck and Bolzoni segments saw lower sales and profits due to weak industry booking rates, lower volumes, and unfavorable mix.

  • Bookings and backlog declined to $1.7B from $1.9B, as shipments outpaced new orders amid tariff and demand uncertainty.

  • Management is prioritizing customer engagement, pricing discipline, operational flexibility, and strategic initiatives such as manufacturing optimization and product innovation.

Financial highlights

  • Q2 2025 revenues: $956.6–$957M (down 18–19% year-over-year, up 5% sequentially); gross profit: $168.2M (down 35%).

  • Adjusted operating profit: $5–$7.2M; net loss: $13.9–$14M; adjusted net loss: $2–$2.3M.

  • Working capital was 21% of sales, improved from prior quarter.

  • Net debt/Adjusted EBITDA at 2.4x, up from 1.3x a year ago due to lower earnings.

Outlook and guidance

  • Full-year 2025 revenues, production, and profits expected below 2024 due to tariffs, weaker demand, and competitive pressures.

  • Q3 2025 operating profit projected to improve sequentially on higher volumes and efficiency.

  • Tariffs expected to negatively impact H2 2025 results despite mitigation efforts; volatility makes precise impact estimates difficult.

  • Full-year 2025 operating profit expected to decline significantly versus prior year and be below previous guidance.

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.
