Complete event summary combining all related documents: earnings call transcript, report, and slide presentation.
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.
Outlook and guidance

Management expects sufficient liquidity and compliance with credit facility terms.
