Previous wording

Consolidated net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2025 were$146 million an increase of$7 million, or 5%, compared to the prior-year comparable period. The effect of the strengthening U.S. dollar on foreign currency rates compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2024 unfavorably impacted sales by $3 million, or 2%, and the first quarter acquisition of DTA favorably impacted sales by $3 million, or 2%. This resulted in an organic sales growth of approximately 5% in the quarter. Management refers to sales adjusted to exclude the impact of these items (foreign currency changes and recent acquisitions and divestitures) as "organic sales". In the second quarter, product sales grew $8 million, or 6%, while foreign currency unfavorably impacted sales by $2 million, or 2%, and the acquisition of DTA (which falls under our Heavy Lifting Technology ("HLT") product line within product) favorably impacted product sales by $3 million, or 3%, resulting in organic product sales growth of 5% over the prior-year quarter. We saw strong year-over-year growth in Other product sales compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2024, which was lower due to temporary shipment delays related to contract negotiations. The gain in products was driven by strong performance in our HLT product line and the continued ramp of new products. Service sales were flat year-over-year, with an unfavorable impact of foreign currency of approximately $1 million, or 4%, which resulted in organic sales growth of 4%. Gross profit as a percent of sales decreased to 50.5%, compared to 51.6% in the second quarter of fiscal 2024; the decrease in gross profit margin is due to unfavorable sales mix, mainly within the service business. Operating profit for the second quarter of fiscal year 2025 was $31 million, an increase of $1 million compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2024. The increase in operating profit was mainly driven by the sales growth being strong enough to offset the impact of lower gross profit, while selling, general & administrative expense ("SG&A") was flat year-over-year.

Current wording

Consolidated net sales for the three months ended May 31, 2025 were $159 million an increase of $8 million, or 6%, compared to the prior-year comparable period. The effect of the weakening U.S. dollar on foreign currency rates compared to the prior-year period favorably impacted sales by $1 million, or 1%, and the first quarter acquisition of DTA favorably impacted sales by $5 million, or 3%. This resulted in an organic sales growth of approximately 2% in the quarter. Management refers to sales adjusted to exclude the impact of these items (foreign currency changes and recent acquisitions and divestitures) as "organic sales". In the three months ended May 31, 2025, product sales grew $7 million, or 6%, while foreign currency favorably impacted sales by $1 million, or 1%, and the acquisition of DTA (which falls under our Heavy Lifting Technology ("HLT") product line within the product sales activity) favorably impacted product sales by $5 million, or 4%, resulting in organic product sales growth of 1% over the prior-year quarter. In the third quarter of fiscal 2024 we saw net sales recovery in our Other product sales from the temporary shipment delays related to contract negotiations that impacted the second quarter of fiscal 2024. Even with this recovery in the third quarter of fiscal 2024, in the third quarter of fiscal 2025, we saw strong year-over-year growth at $1 million, or 19%. Service sales were up $1 million, or 3%, year-over-year, with a minimal unfavorable impact of foreign currency; therefore, organic sales growth was also 3%. Gross profit as a percent of sales decreased to 50.4%, compared to 51.8% in the third quarter of fiscal 2024; the decrease in gross profit margin is due to continued pressure in our service business and the inclusion of DTA. Operating profit for the third quarter of fiscal year 2025 was $32 million, a decrease of $2 million compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2024. The decrease in operating profit was mainly driven by the increase in restructuring expense which was partially offset by the gross profit increase resulting from the year-over-year sales increase.

Previous wording

Consolidated net sales for the first half of fiscal 2025 were $291 million compared to $280 million in the first half of fiscal 2024, an increase of $10 million, or 4%. The effect of the foreign currency rate impact in the first half of the year unfavorably impacted sales by $2 million, or 1%, while the impact of the DTA acquisition favorably impacted sales by $6 million, or 2%, resulting in year-to-date organic sales growth of 2%. Product sales for the year-to-date February 28, 2025 were $230 million compared to $221 million in the prior-year comparable period, an increase of $9 million, or 4%, with nearly flat impact of foreign currency and a $6 million, or 3%, favorable impact of DTA sales, resulting in Product sales organic growth of 1% for the first half of the fiscal year. Service sales for the first half of 2025 increased $2 million, or 3%, compared to the first half of fiscal 2024, with foreign currency unfavorably impacting sales by $1 million, or 1%, resulting in organic growth of $3 million, or 5%. Year-to-date gross profit margin is 50.9%, approximately 110 basis points lower than the prior-year period, due to unfavorable sales mix within both product and service but also the mix between product and service compared to the first half of fiscal 2024. Operating profit for the first half of fiscal year 2025 was $62 million, an increase of $4 million compared to the first half of fiscal 2024. The increase in operating profit was mainly driven by the sales growth being strong enough to offset the impact of lower gross profit, while the decrease in SG&A as a percentage of net sales was mainly driven by the lack of ASCEND program related expenses in the current year compared to the prior-year as a result of the program's completion at the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024.

Current wording

Consolidated net sales for the nine months ended May 31, 2025 were $449 million compared to $431 million in the nine months ended May 31, 2024, an increase of $19 million, or 4%. The effect of the foreign currency rate impact in the first nine months of the year had a minimal unfavorable impact on sales, while the impact of the DTA acquisition favorably impacted sales by $11 million, or 3%, resulting in year-to-date organic sales growth of 2%. Product sales for the nine months ended May 31, 2025 were $344 million compared to $331 million in the prior-year comparable period, an increase of $14 million, or 4%, with nearly flat impact of foreign currency and a $11 million, or 3%, favorable impact of DTA sales, resulting in Product sales organic growth of 1% for the first nine months of the fiscal year. The growth in product sales was driven by strong performance in our HLT product line. Service sales for the nine months ended May 31, 2025 increased $3 million, or 3%, compared to the nine months ended May 31, 2024, with foreign currency unfavorably impacting sales by $1 million, or 1%, resulting in organic growth of $4 million, or 4%. Year-to-date 2025 gross profit margin was 50.7%, approximately 120 basis points lower than the prior-year period, due to unfavorable sales mix within both product and service, but also the mix between product and service compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2024 and the inclusion of DTA. Operating profit for the first nine months of fiscal year 2025 was $94 million, an increase of $2 million compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2024. The increase in operating profit was mainly driven by sales growth.

Previous wording

The strengthening U.S. dollar on foreign currency rates compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2024 unfavorably impacted sales by$3 million, or 2%, and the first quarter acquisition of DTA favorably impacted sales by$3 million, or 2%. This resulted in an organic sales growth of approximately 4% in the quarter. The organic sales increase related to a strong quarter for our HLT product line, continued ramp up of new products and focused effort by our commercial organization. Operating profit was$39 million, compared to$37 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2024. This increase wasmainly driven by a $1 million increase in gross profit.

The organic sales increase related to strong sales within our HLT product line in Americas and APAC, partially offset by unfavorable standard product sales within the Americas region.
