Executive summary
Q2 2025 net sales rose 4% year-over-year to $483.4M, driven by 2% organic volume growth, acquisitions, and strong Asia/Pacific performance, but offset by lower selling prices and product mix.
Reported net loss of $66.6M due to an $88.8M non-cash goodwill impairment in EMEA; non-GAAP net income was $30.0M ($1.71 per share).
Adjusted EBITDA was $75.5M (15.6% margin), down from $84.3M (18.2%) a year ago, reflecting margin compression and higher SG&A.
Share repurchases totaled $32.7M–$33M, and the quarterly dividend was raised by 5%, marking the sixteenth consecutive annual increase.
Cost actions and acquisitions support a positive second-half outlook, with a focus on margin improvement and disciplined capital allocation.
Financial highlights
Q2 2025 net sales: $483.4M (+4% YoY); organic volumes up 2%; acquisitions contributed 6%.
Q2 2025 net loss: $66.6M vs. net income of $34.9M in Q2 2024, mainly due to impairment.
Adjusted EBITDA: $75.5M (15.6% margin) vs. $84.3M (18.2%) in Q2 2024; gross margin (non-GAAP) was 36.0%, down from 37.9%.

Adjusted EPS for Q2 2025: $1.71, down from $2.13 in Q2 2024.

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.
