Ingersoll Rand said it remains in a strong financial position with ample liquidity of $4.2 billion. On a reported basis, the company generated $256 million of cash flow from operating activities and invested $34 million in capital expenditures, resulting in free cash flow1 of $223 million, compared to cash flow from operating activities of $162 million and free cash flow1 of $99 million in the prior year period. Net debt to Adjusted EBITDA leverage2 was 1.6x for the first quarter, which was an increase of 0.9x as compared to the prior year driven primarily by the acquisition of ILC Dover, which took place in the second quarter of 2024.
Its board also authorized a $1 billion increase to the company’s share repurchase program. The increase is incremental to the $993 million remaining under the existing authorization. The increased authorization provides the Company with the flexibility for additional opportunistic share repurchases over the short and medium term. The company is targeting up to $750 million of share repurchases over the remainder of 2025.
Consistent with its comprehensive capital allocation strategy led by M&A, in the first quarter of 2025, Ingersoll Rand deployed $163 million to M&A. Ingersoll Rand also closed on two acquisitions during the month of April:
- G & D Chillers, Inc., a leading U.S. manufacturer of premium glycol chillers used to cool liquids primarily in the food and beverage end market
- Advanced Gas Technologies Inc., a custom designer and supplier of onsite gas generation systems serving industrial customers primarily in Canada
