Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition
The following information is furnished pursuant to Item 2.02, “Results of Operations and Financial Condition.” The information furnished in this Form 8-K and the Exhibit attached hereto shall not be treated as filed for purposes of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
On February 6, 2025 Mettler-Toledo International Inc. (Mettler-Toledo) issued a press release (the Release) setting forth its financial results for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2024. A copy of the Release is furnished hereto as Exhibit 99.1 to this report.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Mettler-Toledo supplements its U.S. GAAP results with non-GAAP financial measures. The principal non-GAAP financial measures Mettler-Toledo uses are Adjusted Earnings per Share, Adjusted Operating Profit, Adjusted Free Cash Flow and Local Currency Sales Growth.
Adjusted Earnings per Share
Mettler-Toledo defines Adjusted Earnings per Share as diluted earnings per common share excluding certain non-recurring discrete tax items, amortization of purchased intangible assets, net of tax, restructuring charges, net of tax and certain other one-time charges, net of tax. The most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure is diluted earnings per common share.
Mettler-Toledo believes that Adjusted Earnings per Share is important supplemental information for investors. Mettler-Toledo uses this measure because it excludes certain non-recurring discrete tax items, amortization of purchased intangibles, net of tax, restructuring charges, net of tax and certain other one-time charges, net of tax, which management believes are not directly related to current and ongoing operations thereby providing investors with information that helps to compare ongoing operating performance.
Adjusted Earnings per Share is used in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Adjusted Earnings per Share is not intended to represent diluted earnings per common share under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to diluted earnings per common share as an indicator of Mettler-Toledo’s performance because of the following limitations.
Limitations of Mettler-Toledo’s non-GAAP measure, Adjusted Earnings per Share
Mettler-Toledo’s non-GAAP measure, Adjusted Earnings per Share, has certain material limitations as follows:
It does not include certain non-recurring discrete tax items, amortization expense of purchased intangibles, net of tax, restructuring charges, net of tax and certain other one-time charges, net of tax. Because non-recurring discrete tax items, amortization of purchased intangibles, restructuring charges and certain other one-time charges are components of diluted earnings per share under U.S. GAAP, any measure that excludes non-recurring discrete tax items, amortization of purchased intangibles, restructuring charges and certain other one-time charges, has material limitations.
Adjusted Operating Profit
Mettler-Toledo defines Adjusted Operating Profit as gross profit less research and development and selling, general and administrative expenses before amortization, interest, restructuring charges and other charges (income), net and taxes. The most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure is earnings before taxes.
Mettler-Toledo believes that Adjusted Operating Profit is important supplemental information for investors. Adjusted Operating Profit is used internally as the principal profit measurement by its segments in their reporting to management. Mettler-Toledo uses this measure because it excludes amortization, interest, restructuring charges and other charges (income), net and taxes, which are not allocated to the segments.
On a consolidated basis, Mettler-Toledo also believes Adjusted Operating Profit is an important supplemental method of measuring profitability. It is used internally by senior management for measuring profitability and setting performance targets for managers, and has historically been used as one of the means of publicly providing guidance on possible future results. Mettler-Toledo also believes that Adjusted Operating Profit is an important performance measure because it provides a measure of comparability to other companies with different capital or legal structures, which accordingly may be subject to disparate interest rates and effective tax rates, and to companies which may incur different amortization expenses or impairment charges related to intangible assets.
Adjusted Operating Profit is used in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Adjusted Operating Profit is not intended to represent operating income under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to earnings before taxes as an indicator of Mettler-Toledo’s performance because of the following limitations.
Limitations of Mettler-Toledo’s non-GAAP measure, Adjusted Operating Profit
Mettler-Toledo’s non-GAAP measure, Adjusted Operating Profit, has certain material limitations as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
• | | It excludes amortization expense. Because this item is recurring, any measure that excludes amortization expense has material limitations. |
• | | It does not include interest expense. Because Mettler-Toledo has borrowed money to finance some of its operations, interest is a necessary and ongoing part of its costs and has assisted Mettler-Toledo in generating revenue. Therefore any measure that excludes interest expense has material limitations. |
• | | It excludes restructuring charges. Because restructuring charges are a component of operating income under U.S. GAAP, any measure that excludes restructuring charges, has material limitations. |
• | | It excludes other charges (income), net. Because other charges (income), net is a component of operating income under U.S. GAAP, any measure that excludes other charges (income), net, has material limitations. |
Adjusted Free Cash Flow
Mettler-Toledo defines Adjusted Free Cash Flow as net cash provided by operating activities including proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment, less capital expenditures, and before restructuring, acquisition cost payments, and tax reform payments. The most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure is net cash provided by operating activities
Mettler-Toledo believes Adjusted Free Cash Flow is important supplemental information for investors. It is used internally by senior management for measuring operating cash flow generation and setting performance targets for managers, and has historically been used as one of the means of providing guidance on possible future cash flows.
Adjusted Free Cash Flow is used in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Adjusted Free Cash Flow is not intended to represent net cash provided by operating activities recorded under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net cash provided by operating activities as an indicator of Mettler-Toledo’s performance because of the following limitations.
Limitations of Mettler-Toledo’s non-GAAP measure, Adjusted Free Cash Flow
Mettler-Toledo’s non-GAAP measure, Adjusted Free Cash Flow, has certain material limitations as follows: | | | | | | | | |
• | | It includes proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment and purchases of property, plant and equipment, which are not considered to be components of net cash provided by operating activities under U.S. GAAP. It excludes the portion of purchases of property, plant and equipment relating to government contract. Therefore any measure that includes proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment and purchases of property, plant and equipment and excludes the portion of purchases of property, plant and equipment relating to government contracts.
|
• | | It excludes restructuring, acquisition payments, and tax reform payments which are considered to be components of net cash provided by operating activities under U.S. GAAP. Therefore any measure that excludes these items has material limitations. |
Local Currency Sales Growth
Mettler-Toledo defines Local Currency Sales Growth as sales growth excluding the effect of currency exchange rate fluctuations that result from translating activity outside of the United States into U.S. dollars. The most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure is U.S. dollar sales growth.
Mettler-Toledo believes that Local Currency Sales Growth is important supplemental information for investors. Mettler-Toledo believes local currency information provides a helpful assessment of business performance and a useful measure of results between periods.
Local Currency Sales Growth is used in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Local Currency Sales Growth is not intended to represent U.S. dollar sales growth under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to U.S. dollar sales growth as an indicator of Mettler-Toledo’s performance because of the following limitations.
Limitations of Mettler-Toledo’s non-GAAP measure, Local Currency Sales Growth
Mettler-Toledo’s non-GAAP measure, Local Currency Sales Growth, has certain material limitations as follows:
It does not include the effect of currency exchange rate fluctuations that result from translating activity outside of the United States into U.S. dollars. Because the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates is a component of sales growth under U.S. GAAP, any measure that excludes the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, has material limitations.
Adjusted Earnings per Share, Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Free Cash Flow and Local Currency Sales Growth should not be relied upon to the exclusion of U.S. GAAP financial measures, but reflect additional measures of comparability and means of viewing aspects of Mettler-Toledo’s operations that, when viewed together with its U.S. GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliations to net
earnings, net cash provided by operating activities and diluted earnings per share, provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting its business.
Because Adjusted Earnings per Share, Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Free Cash Flow and Local Currency Sales Growth are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare with other companies’ non-GAAP financial measures having the same or similar names. We strongly encourage investors to review our financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure.
The Release provides a reconciliation of Adjusted Earnings per Share, Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted Free Cash Flow to the most comparable financial measures recorded under U.S. GAAP. The Release also presents Local Currency Sales Growth in conjunction with its most comparable financial measure recorded under U.S. GAAP.

METTLER-TOLEDO INTERNATIONAL INC. REPORTS
FOURTH QUARTER 2024 RESULTS
COLUMBUS, Ohio, USA – February 6, 2025 – Mettler-Toledo International Inc. (NYSE: MTD) today announced fourth quarter results for 2024. Provided below are the highlights:
•Reported and local currency sales increased 12% compared with the prior year.
•Net earnings per diluted share as reported (EPS) were $11.96, compared with $8.52 in the prior-year period. Adjusted EPS was $12.41, an increase of 32% over the prior-year amount of $9.40. Adjusted EPS is a non-GAAP measure, and a reconciliation to EPS is included on the last page of the attached schedules.
Fourth Quarter Results
Patrick Kaltenbach, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “We had a strong finish to the year as we capitalized on very good customer demand for Laboratory products, especially in Europe. Strong sales growth and solid execution of our margin improvement initiatives contributed to excellent Adjusted EPS and cash flow.”
GAAP Results
EPS in the quarter was $11.96, compared with the prior-year amount of $8.52.
Compared with the prior year, total reported sales rose 12% to $1.045 billion. By region, reported sales increased 6% in the Americas, 18% in Europe and 15% in Asia/Rest of World. Earnings before taxes amounted to $314.5 million, compared with $232.6 million in the prior year.
Non-GAAP Results
Adjusted EPS was $12.41, an increase of 32% over the prior-year amount of $9.40.
Compared with the prior year, total sales in local currency increased 12%. By region, local currency sales increased 7% in the Americas, 19% in Europe and 14% in Asia/Rest of World. Excluding the impact from delayed fourth quarter 2023 shipments, sales in local currency increased 6%, including sales growth of 3% in the Americas, 8% in Europe and 10% in Asia/Rest of World. Adjusted Operating Profit amounted to $351.9 million, compared with the prior-year amount of $281.8 million.
Adjusted EPS and Adjusted Operating Profit are non-GAAP measures. Reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP measures are provided in the attached schedules.
Full Year Results
GAAP Results
EPS was $40.48, compared with the prior-year amount of $35.90, and included a non-cash discrete tax benefit of $1.07 per share.
Compared with the prior year, total reported sales increased 2% to $3.872 billion. By region, reported sales increased 2% in the Americas and 8% in Europe and declined 3% in Asia/Rest of World. Earnings before taxes amounted to $1.037 billion, compared with $973.7 million in the prior year.
Non-GAAP Results
Adjusted EPS was $41.11, an 8% increase from the prior-year amount of $38.03.
Compared with the prior year, total sales in local currency grew 3% as currency reduced sales growth by 1%. By region, local currency sales increased 3% in the Americas and 8% in Europe and declined 1% in Asia/Rest of World. Excluding the impact from delayed fourth quarter 2023 shipments, local currency sales in 2024 were flat, including sales growth of 1% in the Americas and 2% in Europe and a decline of 3% in Asia/Rest of World. Adjusted Operating Profit amounted to $1.200 billion, a 4% increase compared with the prior-year amount of $1.152 billion.
Adjusted EPS and Adjusted Operating Profit are non-GAAP measures. Reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP measures are provided in the attached schedules.
Outlook
Management cautions that market conditions are uncertain and could change quickly. Based on today's assessment, management anticipates local currency sales for the first quarter of 2025 will decline approximately 3% to 4%, which includes a headwind of approximately 6% from the previously disclosed shipping delays in the fourth quarter of 2023 that benefited the first quarter of 2024. Adjusted EPS is forecast to be $7.75 to $7.95, a decline of 11% to 13%, which includes headwinds of approximately 18% from the previously mentioned shipping delays and an estimated 2% due to adverse currency.
For the full year 2025, management anticipates local currency sales will increase approximately 3%, which includes a headwind of approximately 1.5% from the previously disclosed shipping delays in the fourth quarter of 2023 that benefited the first quarter of 2024. Adjusted EPS is forecast to be in the range of $42.35 to $43.00, representing growth of approximately 3% to 5%, and includes headwinds of approximately 4% from the previously mentioned shipping delays and an estimated 2% due to adverse currency. This compares with previous local currency sales growth guidance of approximately 3% and Adjusted EPS guidance of $41.85 to $42.50.
The Company does not provide GAAP financial measures on a forward-looking basis because we are unable to predict with reasonable certainty and without unreasonable effort the timing and amount of future restructuring and other non-recurring items.
Conclusion
Kaltenbach concluded, “We achieved good results in 2024 despite soft market conditions, and continue to benefit from our strong culture of execution and continuous improvement. At the same time, we stayed focused on our long-term strategy of delivering innovative solutions and extending our market leadership. Driving growth is our top priority in 2025, and we will continue to build on our competitive strengths and take advantage of opportunities in automation, digitalization, and high-growth areas to further expand our market share and deliver good earnings growth.”
