Investor presentation summary
18 Mar, 2026Strategic positioning and growth drivers
Holds strong market positions in Americas (25% share), EMEA (14%), and APAC (4%) with significant growth opportunities in each region.
Differentiated by a world-class service model, disruptive innovation, and a broad product and service portfolio.
Growth strategy leverages global megatrends: automation, modernization, electrification, and sustainability.
Focused on high-growth segments such as small-space mechanization and autonomous robotic cleaning.
Launch of a dedicated robotics group aims to accelerate adoption and scale autonomous cleaning solutions, targeting $250M in AMR net sales by 2028.
Financial performance and impact of ERP transition
Fourth-quarter 2025 shifted to a net loss, with ERP transition in North America reducing profitability by ~$17M and adjusted EPS by $0.91.
Full-year 2025 net income and adjusted EPS declined due to lower volumes, margin compression, tariff-related inflation, and ERP disruption.
Q4 net sales fell 13.9% year-over-year, with Americas down 22.3%, while EMEA and APAC saw modest growth.
Gross margin dropped 670 bps in Q4 and 250 bps for the year, mainly from ERP disruption and higher material costs.
Adjusted EBITDA margin decreased to 8.8% in Q4 and 13.9% for the year.
Capital allocation and financial strength
Maintains a strong balance sheet with net leverage at 1.0x and $374M revolver availability.
Capital allocation prioritizes investment in innovation, manufacturing optimization, and disciplined M&A.
$22M in capital expenditures, $59M in ERP modernization, and $41M in R&D investments in 2025.
Returned $22M in dividends and $88M in share repurchases in 2025.
