Second Quarter Results

Second quarter 2025 net sales of $419.1 million increased 0.7% compared to $416.3 million in the second quarter of 2024. Gross profit was $108.3 million or 25.8% of net sales compared to $108.2 million or 26.0% of net sales in the second quarter of 2024. SG&A expenses of $57.1 million or 13.6% of net sales declined by 6.1% compared to the second quarter in 2024, reflecting successful cost reduction efforts completed in 2024. Income from operations was $47.1 million or 11.2% of net sales, representing an increase of 83 basis points compared to the second quarter of 2024. The Vegetation Management Division second quarter sales of $178.4 million declined 15.7% versus second quarter of 2024 but increased sequentially by 8.8%.  Division operating margin of 7.1% included costs associated with manufacturing facility consolidations. The Industrial Equipment Division sales of $240.7 million delivered strong organic growth of 17.6% compared to the second quarter of 2024 and increased 6.0% sequentially. The division delivered an operating margin of 14.3%, representing 93 basis points improvement versus the second quarter of 2024.

Net income was $31.1 million, or $2.57 per diluted share, compared to $28.3 million or $2.35 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2024.  The 9.8% increase year-over-year was driven by stronger operating results.  Second quarter EPS included an unfavorable impact to net income of $2.5 million, or approximately $0.21 per share, primarily due to the revaluation of US dollar-denominated monetary assets held in our Canadian entities.  By comparison, EPS in the second quarter of 2024 included a favorable impact of $0.2 million to net income, or approximately $0.02 per share.

The Company’s backlog at the end of the second quarter remained healthy at $687.2 million. The Vegetation Management Division backlog held steady at $177.6 million, while the Industrial Equipment Division backlog remained strong at $509.6 million.

The Company’s balance sheet was exceptionally strong. Accounts receivable were $356.2 million with DSO of 81 days, an improvement versus prior year of 3 days.  Inventory was $372.1 million compared to $385.1 million in the second quarter of 2024.  Operating cash flow year-to-date was $36.9 million, resulting in cash and cash equivalents of $201.8 million at the end of the quarter.

As we look forward to the remainder of the year, we anticipate continued operational gains driven in part by improved productivity in the Vegetation Management Division.  While the economic situation related to tariffs remains somewhat uncertain, we remain confident in our ability to navigate these headwinds and remain committed to capitalizing on growth opportunities.

Comments on Results

Jeff Leonard, Alamo Group’s President and Chief Executive Officer commented, “The Company’s solid second quarter results reflected improved operating margin performance.  The results were primarily driven by sustained strong demand from governmental agencies and specialty contractors for products offered by the Industrial Equipment Division, coupled with encouraging sequential recovery in markets served by the Vegetation Management Division.  While consolidated net sales growth was modest compared to a strong prior year second quarter, sequential improvement exceeded 7%.

We were pleased to have again demonstrated strong organic growth in the Industrial Equipment Division, where net sales in the quarter rose by nearly 18% compared to the same period last year. Notably, sales of vacuum trucks and snow removal equipment increased more than 20%, supported by healthy demand and market share gains. Strong sales and improved operating efficiencies in this division drove nearly one hundred basis point margin expansion to 14.3%. Ordering activity remained robust across all product groups, and backlog at quarter end in this division remained above $0.5 billion, providing solid visibility and a positive view of demand through year end.

The Vegetation Management Division continued to show modest but steady improvements in its key markets.  As expected, net sales in this division were down approximately 16% compared to the second quarter of 2024 but rose nearly 9% sequentially.  The division’s operating margin reflected the effects of recent facility consolidation costs, which are now nearing completion.  While backlog was reduced due to improving lead-times in the consolidated facilities, we were encouraged to see order volumes increase for the fifth consecutive quarter, resulting in a year-over-year increase for the first half of 2025.

The Company’s consolidated operating margin of 11.2% improved by eighty three basis points from the second quarter of 2024.  Growth in the Industrial Equipment Division, combined with greater factory efficiencies, helped to offset some early-quarter softness in the Vegetation Management Division. 

During the second quarter of 2025, we were pleased to welcome Ring-O-Matic to our Alamo Group family.  Ring-O-Matic manufactures a full line of industrial vacuum excavation equipment, specializing in trailer-mounted units.  The acquired business aligns well with our strategic focus on expanding market share and strengthening our current product portfolio and will be part of our Excavator and Vacuum Trucks group.  The acquisition was funded with existing cash on hand.

Looking ahead, we remain optimistic regarding the Company’s prospects for at least the next several quarters.  Most market indicators during the second quarter were positive.  Operationally, we expect that our Industrial Equipment Division will continue its strong performance through at least the end of the year and into 2026, while the Vegetation Management Division is poised to improve further, driven by stronger order flow supported by enhanced operational gains following the completion of our plant consolidations.  While we remain mindful of ongoing global trade uncertainty, we firmly believe the Company is well positioned for continued improvement in operating performance.  In addition, we expect to leverage our strong balance sheet to accelerate both organic and inorganic growth.”
