Enerpac completes first fiscal quarter with 2.3% rise in net sales
Enerpac Tool Group Corp. reported its first fiscal quarter net sales were $145 million, a 2.3% increase compared to the prior year, with a 0.8% decline in organic sales. The quarter ended November 30.
“We entered fiscal 2025 mindful of a sluggish industrial macro environment,” said Paul Sternlieb, president & CEO. “Nonetheless, we believe Enerpac can continue to outperform the market given our global brand leadership, targeted growth strategy, customer-driven innovation, and continuous improvement process to enhance operational efficiency and productivity.”
Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Darren Kozik said, “First quarter fiscal 2025 was essentially in line with our expectations, reflecting our ability to operate in a soft market, while lapping strong growth in the first quarter of fiscal 2024."
Gross profit margin declined 90 basis points year-over-year to 51.4% due to lower sales in the Americas, a higher percentage of service revenue, and a return to normalized margins at Cortland.
Operating profit increased 9% year-over-year to $31.1 million, with an operating profit margin of 21.4%, up from 20.2% in the first quarter of fiscal 2024. Adjusted operating profit decreased 3.6% to $31.3 million, with an adjusted operating margin of 21.5%, down from 22.8% in the year-ago period.
