CEO Perspective

 

“We closed out the fiscal year with our strongest quarter, a reflection of the team’s consistent execution and resilience in dynamic markets. Marine and Propulsion led the way with robust defense-driven demand, while Industrial saw steady recovery and increased shipments late in the year. Although oil and gas remained challenged, we continued to advance our electrification strategy with new e-frac activity. Throughout the year, we maintained pricing discipline and protected margins, even as we managed through tariff noise and ongoing cost pressures. Our recent acquisitions expanded our global footprint and diversified our end markets, reinforcing the strength of our platform,” commented John H. Batten, President and Chief Executive Officer of Twin Disc.

 

“As we enter the new fiscal year, we are in a stronger position both operationally and strategically, supported by a healthy backlog, greater organizational agility, and our integration efforts that are creating new commercial opportunities across regions and segments. Our established presence in the defense market, reinforced by a steady flow of strong customer inquiries, positions us to capture additional growth. Looking ahead, we are committed to driving growth, maintaining disciplined operations, and executing on our long-term value creation strategy,” concluded Mr. Batten.

 

Fourth Quarter and Full-Year Results

Sales for the fiscal 2025 fourth quarter increased 14.5% year-over-year to $96.7 million and fiscal 2025 full year sales increased 15.4% to $340.7 million when compared to the prior year. Fourth quarter and full year sales growth were both driven by demand for the Company’s Land-Based Transmissions markets, with strength in Marine and Propulsion Systems and a stabilization in the Industrial segment. On an organic basis*, which excludes the impacts of acquisitions and foreign currency exchange, fourth quarter revenue decreased 8.4% year-over-year, due primarily to reduced shipments of oil and gas transmissions into China. For the fiscal 2025 full year, revenue increased 1.0% on an organic basis when compared to the prior year.

For the fiscal 2025 full year, Twin Disc delivered double-digit growth year-over-year in the European and Asia-Pacific regions including the impact of acquisitions. The distribution of sales across geographical regions shifted, with a greater proportion of sales coming from Europe, and a lower proportion coming from the Asia-Pacific region.

 

Gross profit increased 19.7% to $30.0 million compared to $25.1 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025. Fourth quarter gross margin improved approximately 130 basis points to 31.0% from the prior year period, supported by a favorable product mix and one-time cost capitalization adjustments in Katsa inventory. For the fiscal 2025 full year, gross profit increased 11.3% to $92.7 million, and gross margin decreased approximately 100 basis points to 27.2%.

 

Marketing, engineering and administrative (ME&A) expenses increased by $4.3 million, or 20.9%, to $24.6 million, compared to $20.4 million in the prior year period. The increased ME&A expense was primarily driven by the addition of Katsa and Kobelt, in addition to an increase in professional fees and an inflationary impact on wages and benefits. For the fiscal 2025 full year, ME&A expense increased 15.1% to $82.4 million, primarily driven by the same factors driving the fourth quarter increase, noted above.

 

Net income attributable to Twin Disc for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 was $1.4 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, compared to net income attributable to Twin Disc of $7.4 million, or $0.53 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024. For the fiscal 2025 full year, the Company generated a net loss attributable to Twin Disc of ($1.9 million), or ($0.14) per diluted share, a decrease of 116.8% and 116.5%, respectively, from fiscal 2024 full year. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) were $7.0 million in the fourth quarter, down 40.4% compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024. The year-over-year change was driven by increased currency translation losses, higher operating expenses, and stock based compensation. Full year fiscal 2025 EBITDA decreased 28.3% to $19.0 million from $26.5 million in fiscal 2024. This change was driven by increased currency translation losses, stock based compensation, and inventory adjustments.

On a consolidated basis, the backlog of orders to be shipped over the next six months is approximately $150.5 million at the end of the fourth quarter, compared to $133.7 million at the end of the third quarter. As a percentage of six-month backlog, inventory decreased from 103.2% at the end of the third quarter, to 101.0% at the end of the fourth quarter. Compared to the end of fiscal 2024, cash decreased 19.7% to $16.1 million, total debt increased 21.8% to $31.4 million, and net debt* increased $9.6 million to $15.3 million. The increase was primarily attributable to higher long-term debt related to the Katsa and Kobelt acquisitions.

 

CFO Perspective

Jeffrey S. Knutson, Vice President of Finance, Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer and Secretary, stated, “We’re pleased with our financial performance this year, marked by disciplined execution and strong integration progress. Our inventory is well positioned to support demand heading into the new year, and our cash position remains healthy, giving us flexibility to invest in growth while maintaining a strong balance sheet. With continued progress on global manufacturing optimization, we’re well equipped to scale efficiently and support sustainable profitability.”

*Non-GAAP Financial Information

 

Financial information excluding the impact of asset impairments, restructuring charges, foreign currency exchange rate changes and the impact of acquisitions, if any, in this press release are not measures that are defined in U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). These items are measures that management believes are important to adjust for in order to have a meaningful comparison to prior and future periods and to provide a basis for future projections and for estimating our earnings growth prospects. Non-GAAP measures are used by management as a performance measure to judge profitability of our business absent the impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes and acquisitions. Management analyzes the company’s business performance and trends excluding these amounts. These measures, as well as EBITDA, provide a more consistent view of performance than the closest GAAP equivalent for management and investors. Management compensates for this by using these measures in combination with the GAAP measures. The presentation of the non-GAAP measures in this press release are made alongside the most directly comparable GAAP measures.

 

Definitions

 

Organic net sales is defined respectively as net sales excluding the recent acquisitions of Katsa and Kobelt while adjusting for the effects of foreign currency exchange.

 

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) is calculated as net earnings or loss excluding interest expense, the provision or benefit for income taxes, depreciation, and amortization expenses.

 

Net debt is calculated as total debt less cash.

 

Free cash flow is calculated as net cash provided (used) by operating activities less acquisition of fixed assets.
