Current report
•Consolidated net sales were $609,840 in 2025 versus $642,851 in 2024, a decrease of 5%. The decline was primarily attributable to lower sales at DynaEnergetics and NobelClad. The decrease in DynaEnergetics’ sales largely resulted from lower pricing due to industry consolidation and a highly competitive core North American market. The decrease in NobelClad sales was driven by lower activity levels due in part to the impact of evolving tariff policies throughout the year.
Current report
Refer to “Consolidated Results of Operations” and “Business Segment Financial Information” below for additional discussion.
Current report
Our three manufacturing businesses continue to closely monitor challenging macroeconomic conditions, including volatility in global oil and gas markets, persistently high interest rates, and uncertainty around U.S. and reciprocal tariff policies. DynaEnergetics and NobelClad serve the upstream and downstream segments of the oil and gas industry, respectively, and are addressing the impacts of volatile crude oil prices, which traded near multi-year lows at the end of the fourth quarter of 2025. Sales and profitability could be adversely affected if we, or our customers, are unable to mitigate the effects of sustained lower energy prices and tariffs, or if these factors dampen product demand. For additional information regarding potential tariff impacts, refer to Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Current report
Arcadia Products is working to mitigate the impact of persistently high interest rates and generally lower construction activity in its core regional markets. These factors have created a competitive and challenging bidding environment, which has impacted Arcadia Products’ ability to fully pass through higher input costs, mainly aluminum, which recently reached a multi-year high. While the business continues to focus on strengthening its core commercial operations, which generate approximately 75% of the segment’s sales, the current environment is expected to continue negatively impacting Arcadia Products’ net sales and profitability in 2026.
Current report
DynaEnergetics is continuing a series of initiatives designed to reduce costs and increase market share. These efforts are intended to offset a potential decline in demand for its well perforating systems during 2026 due to volatile crude oil prices and reduced well completion activity in DynaEnergetics’ core North American onshore market. DynaEnergetics also is exploring growth opportunities in the enhanced geothermal market, and has expanded its sales and marketing efforts in certain emerging global shale markets.
Current report
At NobelClad, we use backlog, defined as unfilled firm purchase orders and commitments at a point in time, to assess near-term demand. Most firm purchase orders and commitments are realized and shipped within twelve months. Order backlog increased to $62,612 at the end of the fourth quarter of 2025 from $57,040 at the end of the third quarter of 2025, reflecting the receipt of additional orders associated with a previously announced record international chemical project. These orders helped offset lower booking activity in NobelClad’s U.S. market, which was negatively impacted during much of 2025, in part due to tariff-related uncertainty. NobelClad is preparing to pursue additional opportunities with the U.S. Navy following its recently announced plans to accelerate its Naval readiness program.
Current report
Each of our businesses are evaluating additional tariff mitigation strategies and targeted cost reduction programs if business does not improve as 2026 progresses.
Current report
Net sales were $609,840 for the year ended December 31, 2025, a decrease of 5% compared with 2024. The decline was primarily driven by lower sales at DynaEnergetics, which decreased 6%, and at NobelClad, which decreased 11%. The 6% decrease at DynaEnergetics was largely attributable to lower pricing resulting from industry consolidation and a highly competitive core North American market, which reduced net sales by $16,213. DynaEnergetics also experienced a decline in international sales of $1,259 primarily due to project timing. The 11% decrease at NobelClad was driven by lower activity levels due in part to the impact of evolving tariff policies throughout the year.
Current report
Gross profit percentage was 22.2% for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared with 23.4% for the year ended December 31, 2024. The decline was primarily attributable to less favorable project and regional mix at NobelClad, as well as lower absorption of fixed manufacturing overhead costs as a result of the decrease in net sales at both DynaEnergetics and NobelClad.
Current report
Selling and distribution expenses increased $1,535 for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared with 2024, driven by higher compensation costs at Arcadia Products of $1,357 and higher bad debt expense of $1,153. These increases were partially offset by lower outside services costs of $532, a reduction in business-related travel of $214, and lower selling costs of $109.
Current report
Strategic review and related expenses of $2,690 for the year ended December 31, 2025 primarily related to $2,099 in professional service fees and $366 in employee retention compensation, including $36 of stock-based compensation.
Current report
Restructuring expenses and asset impairments of $3,578 for the year ended December 31, 2025 included contract termination costs associated with exiting leases of $1,013 and $605 at NobelClad and DynaEnergetics, respectively, employee severance of $1,175 related to headcount reductions across the Company, and an asset impairment of $785 related to the decision to discontinue an internal website and related automation platform.
Current report
Operating loss of $110 for the year ended December 31, 2025, decreased compared with operating loss of $131,258 for the year ended December 31, 2024, primarily attributable to the goodwill impairment charge recorded in 2024, and a reduction in strategic review and related expenses.
Current report
General and administrative expenses were lower by $5,710, compared with 2024, primarily as a result of decreases in compensation costs of $2,306 related to a reduction in headcount, stock-based compensation of $1,172, the Waterkeeper matter of $1,152, outside services costs of $601, and business-related travel of $559.
Current report
Selling and distribution expenses were higher by $1,290 in 2025, compared with 2024, primarily due to increases in compensation costs of $1,357 and selling costs of $533, partially offset by lower bad debt expense of $448.
Current report
Operating incomeof $4,206 in 2025 increased compared with operating loss of$143,636 in 2024, primarily attributable to the goodwill impairment charge recorded in 2024, and lower general and administrative expenses.
Current report
Adjusted EBITDA increased in 2025, compared with 2024, due to the factors discussed above. See “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” above for explanation of the use of Adjusted EBITDA. The following is a reconciliation of the most directly comparable GAAP measure to Adjusted EBITDA.
Current report
Net sales decreased $17,472 in 2025, compared with 2024, primarily due to lower pricing as a result of industry consolidation and a highly competitive core North American market, which reduced net sales by $16,213. DynaEnergetics also experienced a decline in international sales of $1,259 primarily due to project timing.
Current report
Selling and distribution expenses were higher by $1,079, compared with 2024, primarily due to an increase in net bad debt expense of $1,549, partially offset by decreased selling costs of $483 driven by lower net sales.

Current report
On June 10, 2025, the Company and certain domestic subsidiaries entered into an amendment to thecredit facility (the “Second Amendment”). The Second Amendment provided for certain changes to thecredit facility, including modifications to the Company’s financial covenants and applicable interest rates to assist with the possible acquisition of the remaining 40% minority interest in Arcadia Products. Key provisions of the Second Amendment include a temporary increase in the Company’s maximum leverage ratio to 3.5x adjusted EBITDA over the trailing twelve months — up from 3.0x — should either the Put Option or the Call Option be exercised. This elevated leverage limit will apply for the first two quarters following payment of the purchase price of the Put Option or the Call Option, followed by a reduction to 3.25x in the third quarter, and a return to 3.0x thereafter.
Current report
The purchase price for any interests sold pursuant to the Call Option or Put Option continues to be based upon a predefined calculation as included within the Operating Agreement. In connection with an exercise of the Call Option, the Operating Agreement would require payment of the purchase price in cash. However, in connection with the exercise of the Put Option, the Operating Agreement permits the Company the option to pay the purchase price in either cash, or 20% in cash and 80% in shares of a newly designated series of preferred stock (the “Put Preferred”) that would be authorized at that time. The terms of the Put Preferred, including the rights, powers and preferences thereof, are set forth in the Operating Agreement. The number of shares to be issued in connection with the Put Option (if the Company utilizes that payment mechanism) would be initially determined and valued at the volume weighted average trading price of the Company’s common stock over the 60 days preceding the delivery of the Put Option notice. The Put Preferred would be entitled to dividends at a rate of 3% per annum and would be convertible into one share of the Company’s common stock, subject to Nasdaq rules which generally prohibit private placements of equity securities with voting rights of 20% or more of a company’s pre-issuance voting power, including through convertible securities, without stockholder approval; the holder of the Put Preferred would not be allowed to participate in any such stockholder vote. The Company may redeem the Put Preferred at any time; however, beginning on June 23, 2027, the Company must begin proportionate annual redemptions of the Put Preferred and, in any event, the Put Preferred must be redeemed by the third anniversary of its issuance.
Current report
Net cash provided by operating activities of $53,534 in 2025 increased compared with $46,596 in 2024, driven primarily by lower working capital balances, which included lower accounts receivable, and lower inventory balances at Arcadia Products and NobelClad.

Previous report
•Consolidated net sales were $642,851 in 2024 versus $719,188 in 2023, a decrease of 11%. The decline in performance primarily was driven by lower Arcadia Products sales volumes in longer-cycle high-end residential and certain short-cycle commercial markets, and a decrease in pricing of DynaEnergetics’ DS perforating systems as a result of industry consolidation in the United States.
Previous report
•Cash and marketable securities of $14,289 at December 31, 2024 decreased $29,370 from $43,659 at December 31, 2023 and was primarily attributable to debt repayments made in conjunction with the Company’s amended credit agreement.
Previous report
We expect Arcadia Products’ first quarter sales will be flat to modestly above the 2024 fourth quarter, with continued weak demand from the luxury residential market. In January, Arcadia Products’ former president, Jim Schladen, returned to lead the organization. He is currently focused on strengthening Arcadia Products’ core commercial operations and stabilizing and developing an improvement plan for its high-end residential products, which may include the elimination of underperforming product offerings. As a regional architectural building products leader based in the Los Angeles metro area, management believes Arcadia Products is uniquely positioned to participate in the long-term reconstruction of many neighborhoods destroyed by the recent wildfires in Southern California.
Previous report
At DynaEnergetics, first quarter sales are expected to be flat to modestly up versus the seasonally soft 2024 fourth quarter. Anticipated sales growth in North America is expected to be partially offset by lower international sales. DynaEnergetics has completed a value-engineering initiative designed to reduce the cost and improve the performance of its flagship DynaStage product offering. DynaEnergetics also has made significant progress automating its North American manufacturing center, with cost benefits that are expected to begin to be realized in the first half of 2025. These initiatives are expected to partially offset persistent pricing pressure in North America’s well completions industry.
Previous report
NobelClad expects first quarter sales will be comparable to the 2024 fourth quarter, which was NobelClad’s second strongest sales quarter in more than a decade. NobelClad continues to experience strong demand for its Cylindra™ cryogenic transition joints for use in the processing of LNG, and recent enhancements to the Cylindra production process have reduced manufacturing lead times.

The remaining year-over-year decrease was primarily attributable to lower employee compensation costs, driven by a decline in variable compensation of $2,402 and lower internal leadership and sales meeting expense of $1,176. These decreases were partially offset by an increase of $762 in expense recognized related to certain alleged violations of stormwater regulatory requirements in the state of California.
Previous report
Selling and distribution expenses decreased $1,846 for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared with 2023. The lower expense was driven by a decrease in compensation cost of $3,571 and outside marketing consulting costs of $1,564, partially offset by an increase in bad debt expense for $3,784.

Goodwill
Previous report
Goodwill represents the amount by which the purchase price exceeds the fair value of identifiable tangible and intangible assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination. Goodwill acquired in a business combination and determined to have an indefinite useful life is not amortized, but instead is tested for impairment at least annually during the fourth quarter or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value might not be fully recoverable. For goodwill, impairment is assessed at the reporting unit level. A reporting unit is defined as an operating segment or a component of an operating segment to the extent discrete financial information is available that is reviewed by segment management. The Company's reporting units are each of the three operating segments disclosed in Note 11 within Item 8 — Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.
Previous report
To test goodwill for impairment, we first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. For the qualitative assessment, we consider macroeconomic and market conditions, cost factors, financial performance and other relevant entity-specific events. If we conclude that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value during the qualitative assessment, then we quantitatively estimate the fair value of the reporting unit and compare the estimated fair value to its carrying value. Based on the results of the quantitative assessment, if the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference.
Previous report
In connection with the preparation of its quarterly financial statements during the third quarter of 2024, the Company assessed changes in circumstances that occurred during the quarter to determine whether it was more likely than not that the fair value of its Arcadia Products reporting unit was below its carrying amount. While there was no single determinative event or factor, potential triggering events during the third quarter of 2024, including recent financial performance not in accordance with expectations and downward revisions to the near-term forecast, led the Company to conclude that when considering the events and factors in totality, it was more likely than not that the fair value of the Arcadia Products reporting unit was below its carrying value at September 30, 2024. As such, a quantitative goodwill impairment test was performed. The Company utilized the market approach to estimate the fair value of the Arcadia Products reporting unit, but also considered the income approach to validate the results. The market approach includes observable inputs of fair value, including but not limited to non-binding offers received from third-parties and comparative market multiples. The income approach estimates the fair value by discounting the reporting unit’s estimated future cash flows using an estimated discount rate, or expected return, that a marketplace participant would have required as of the valuation date.
Previous report
Based on the results of our quantitative goodwill impairment test, we recorded a $141,725 impairment charge to goodwill during the year ended December 31, 2024.

NobelClad produces explosion-welded clad metal plates for use in the construction of corrosion resistant industrial processing equipment and specialized transition joints for commuter rail cars, ships, and liquified natural gas (LNG) processing equipment. While most demand for our products is driven by maintenance and retrofit projects at existing plants and facilities, new projects for petrochemical processing, oil refining, and aluminum smelting facilities also account for a significant portion of total demand. These industries tend to be cyclical in nature and the timing of new order inflow remains difficult to predict. We use backlog, defined as all unfilled firm purchase orders and commitments at a point in time, to measure the immediate outlook for our NobelClad business. Most firm purchase orders and commitments are realized and shipped within twelve months. NobelClad's backlog was $48,885 at December 31, 2024 compared to $59,357 at December 31, 2023.

We recorded an income tax provision of $15,120 on income before income taxes of $49,879 in 2023. The prior year rate was impacted by geographical mix. Our most significant operations are in the United States, which has a 21% statutory income tax rate, and Germany, which has a 32% combined statutory income tax rate. The mix of income or loss before income taxes between these jurisdictions is one of the primary drivers of the difference between our 21% statutory tax rate and our effective tax rate. The effective rate was also impacted unfavorably by state taxes and certain compensation expenses that are not tax deductible in the U.S. The operating results of Arcadia that are attributable to the redeemable noncontrolling interest holder are not taxed at DMC, which resulted in a partially offsetting favorable impact to the effective tax rate.

We primarily evaluate performance and allocate resources based on segment revenues, operating income and Adjusted EBITDA as well as projected future performance. Segment operating income is defined as revenues less expenses identifiable to the segment. DMC consolidated operating income and Adjusted EBITDA include unallocated corporate expenses and unallocated stock-based compensation expense. Stock-based compensation is not allocated to wholly owned segments, DynaEnergetics and NobelClad.

We believe that cash and cash equivalents on hand, cash flow from operations, funds available under our current credit facilities and any future replacement thereof will be sufficient to fund the working capital, required minimum debt service payments, and other capital expenditure requirements of our current business operations for the foreseeable future. We may also execute capital markets transactions, including at-the-market offering programs, to raise additional funds if we believe market conditions are favorable, but there can be no assurance that any future capital will be available on acceptable terms or at all. Nevertheless, our ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations will depend upon our success in executing our strategies. If we are unable to (i) realize sales from our backlog; (ii) secure new customer orders; (iii) continue selling products at profitable margins; and (iv) continue to implement cost-effective internal processes, our ability to meet cash requirements through operating activities could be impacted. Furthermore, any restriction on the availability of borrowings under our credit facilities could negatively affect our ability to meet future cash requirements. We will continue to monitor financial market conditions, including the related impact on credit availability and capital markets.
