STANDEX REPORTS FISCAL SECOND QUARTER 2025 FINANCIAL RESULTS

SALEM, NH – January 30, 2025 – Standex International Corporation (NYSE: SXI) today reported financial results for the second quarter of fiscal year 2025 ended December 31, 2024.

*Adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, and adjusted EPS for all periods now exclude amortization expense from acquired intangible assets. Fiscal second quarter 2025 adjusted operating margin including amortization expense was 16.8%.         

Second Quarter Fiscal 2025 Results

Commenting on the quarter’s results, President and Chief Executive Officer David Dunbar said, “Following solid operational performance in the fiscal first quarter, we delivered the highest sales since the divestment of the Refrigeration business in April 2020 and record adjusted operating margin in the fiscal second quarter. These improvements reflected solid operational performance from core businesses and contribution from the recent Amran/Narayan acquisition. Completed in the quarter, this was the largest acquisition in the history of the Company and its sales exceeded our expectations. The continued strength of the electrical grid end market positions us well for continued growth and margin improvement in the second half of fiscal 2025. In the fiscal second quarter, we achieved adjusted gross margin of approximately 40.9% and adjusted operating margin of 18.7%, while continuing to support our growth initiatives.”

“We remain confident about the Company’s exposure to many positive secular trends in the evolving global economy, such as the electrical grid, electric and hybrid vehicles, renewable energy, commercialization of space, and defense. As the global economy evolves, the Company remains nimble to pivot towards end markets with above average growth prospects. With two months of Amran/Narayan’s sales into the electrical grid end market, our fiscal second quarter sales into fast growth markets were over 20% of total company sales.”

“For the remainder of fiscal year 2025, based on recent order rates and customer interaction, we continue to expect our end markets to improve, with the recent Amran/Narayan Group acquisition providing an additional tailwind. In the fiscal second quarter, we launched seven new products and remain on track to release over a dozen new products in fiscal year 2025.”

“Overall, we are well positioned for continued improvements in financial performance as market conditions improve. In terms of our balance sheet, we intend to use cash flows to reduce debt, while we continue to assess an active pipeline of organic and inorganic opportunities that support future growth.”

Outlook

In the fiscal third quarter 2025, on a sequential basis, the Company expects moderately to significantly higher revenue, driven by the impact of the recent Amran/Narayan Group acquisition and improving overall demand in Electronics. On a sequential basis, the Company expects slightly to moderately higher adjusted operating margin, benefiting from improved revenue, partially offset by higher investments in selling, marketing, and R&D.

Second Quarter Segment Operating Performance

Electronics (51% of sales; 61% of segment adjusted operating income)

* Excludes the amortization of acquired backlog, the step-up of inventory to fair value, and acquired intangible assets; Q2 FY24 restated to exclude the amortization of acquired intangible assets

Revenue increased approximately $16.5 million or 20.8% year-on-year reflecting a 32.3% benefit from recent acquisitions, partially offset by an organic decline of 10.7% and a 0.9% impact from foreign currency. The organic decline was due to softness in the automotive end markets in Europe and North America and in general industrial end markets. Adjusted operating income increased approximately $9.0 million or 51.3% year-on-year due to the contribution from the recent Amran/Narayan Group acquisition, productivity initiatives and product mix, partially offset by lower volume.

Electronics segment backlog realizable in under one year of approximately $157 million increased 40% year-on-year. The segment had a book to bill ratio of approximately 1.02 in the fiscal second quarter, with orders of approximately $98 million, driven by order strengthening in the core businesses and the contribution from the recent Amran/Narayan Group acquisition.

In fiscal third quarter 2025, on a sequential basis, the Company expects significantly higher revenue, primarily driven by the Amran/Narayan Group acquisition and higher sales into fast growth end markets, and moderately higher adjusted operating margin, as the contribution from the recent acquisition and pricing and productivity initiatives are partially offset by higher investments in selling, marketing, and R&D.

Engraving (16% of sales; 11% of segment adjusted operating income)

* Excludes the amortization of acquired intangible assets; Q2 FY24 restated to exclude the amortization of acquired intangible assets

Revenue decreased approximately $9.4 million or 23.0% year-on-year reflecting a 22.2% organic decline, primarily due to continued softness in North America and Europe from delays in new platform rollouts, and a foreign currency impact of 0.8%. Adjusted operating income decreased approximately $4.8 million or 51.9% year-on-year due to the lower revenue. Operating deleverage was partially offset by the realization of previously announced productivity initiatives and restructuring actions.

In fiscal third quarter 2025, on a sequential basis, the Company expects slightly to moderately lower revenue and adjusted operating margin due to continued softness in the automotive end markets in North America and Europe and less favorable project timing in Asia due to the Chinese New Year. To address the continued softness in end markets served by this segment, the Company initiated additional restructuring actions that project to yield $4.0 million in annualized savings once fully implemented, starting in fiscal fourth quarter 2025.

Scientific (10% of sales; 11% of segment adjusted operating income)

* Excludes the amortization of acquired intangible assets; Q2 FY24 restated to exclude the amortization of acquired intangible assets

Revenue increased approximately $2.2 million or 13.4% year-on-year reflecting a 9.5% benefit from the Custom Biogenic Systems acquisition and organic growth of 3.9%, mostly due to higher volume from new product sales partially offset by lower demand from retail pharmacies. Adjusted operating income increased approximately $0.5 million or 10.1% year-on-year reflecting the contribution from the acquisition and higher volume.

In fiscal third quarter 2025, on a sequential basis, the Company expects slightly to moderately higher revenue and slightly to moderately lower adjusted operating margin due to higher contribution to revenue from the recent acquisition, additional R&D investments, and higher freight costs.

Engineering Technologies (12% of sales; 9% of segment adjusted operating income)

Revenue increased approximately $2.8 million or 13.9% year-on-year primarily driven by more favorable project timing in the space end market and growth in sales from new products. Operating income increased approximately $0.3 million or 8.4% year-on-year reflecting higher volume.

In fiscal third quarter 2025, on a sequential basis, the Company expects slightly lower revenue due to project timing and slightly higher operating margin due to product mix.

Specialty Solutions (11% of sales; 8% of segment adjusted operating income)

Specialty Solutions revenue decreased approximately $0.6 million or 2.9% year-on-year, reflecting general market softness in the Display Merchandising business and in the Hydraulics business. Operating income decreased approximately $0.4 million or 10.2% year-on-year due to lower volume.

In fiscal third quarter 2025, on a sequential basis, the Company expects similar revenue and slightly higher operating margin.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to the financial measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), the Company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP adjusted income from operations, non-GAAP adjusted net income from continuing operations, free operating cash flow, EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA to net debt, and adjusted earnings per share. The attached financial tables reconcile non-GAAP measures used in this press release to the most directly comparable GAAP measures. The Company believes that the use of non-GAAP measures which exclude the impact of restructuring charges, purchase accounting, amortization from acquired intangible assets, insurance recoveries, discrete tax events, gain or loss on sale of a business unit, acquisition costs, and litigation costs help investors to obtain a better understanding of our operating results and prospects, consistent with how management measures and forecasts the Company's performance, especially when comparing such results to previous periods. An understanding of the impact in a particular quarter of specific restructuring costs, acquisition expenses, or other gains and losses, on net income (absolute as well as on a per-share basis), operating income or EBITDA can give management and investors additional insight into core financial performance, especially when compared to quarters in which such items had a greater or lesser effect, or no effect. Non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a replacement for, the corresponding GAAP measures, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
