Current report

The effective income tax rate for second quarter 2025 was 25.2% as compared to 13.7% for second quarter 2024. The increase in the effective tax rate for second quarter 2025 was primarily due to the recognition of approximately $1.4 million of tax benefit related to foreign tax loss carryforwards in second quarter 2024, and by a year-over-year increase in losses incurred in certain foreign subsidiaries for which no tax benefit is recognized.

Current report

•An increase in our effective tax rate in second quarter 2025 compared with second quarter 2024.

Current report

Overall, net sales increased $34.3 million, or 14.2%, to $274.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared with $240.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2024. Acquisition-related sales growth was $6.7 million from our February 2025 acquisition of GMT Aerospace. Organic sales, excludingthe impact of currency exchange, increased $32.3 million, or 13.4%, as organic sales increased 23.8% and 7.9% within our Aerospace and Packaging segments, respectively, due to improved throughput and commercial actions with Aerospace and end market demand improvements within Packaging. Sales decreased 6.8% in our Specialty Products segment as an organic sales increase of 13.1% for our steel cylinders was more than offset by the impact of the divestiture of our Arrow Engine business. In addition, net sales increased by $0.6 million due to currency exchange, as our reported results in U.S. dollars were favorably impacted as a result of the weakening of the U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies.

Current report

Gross profit margin (gross profit as a percentage of sales) approximated 25.4% and 22.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Gross profit margin increased primarily due to higher sales levels and related improved fixed cost absorption within our Aerospace and Packaging segments, a more favorable product sales mix, and favorable commercial actions within our Aerospace segment, as well as due to the favorable impact of prior year operational improvement actions within our Packaging segment. The increase in gross profit was partially offset by reduced sales in our Specialty Products segment as the increase in gross profit related to increased steel cylinder sales was more than offset by the loss of sales related to the divestiture of our Arrow Engine business. Additionally, gross profit decreased due to a $0.5 million purchase accounting charge related to the step-up of GMT Aerospace's inventory to fair value and increased input costs in our Packaging segment.

Current report

Operating profit margin (operating profit as a percentage of sales) approximated 9.9% and 7.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Operating profit increased $9.3 million to $27.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2025, from $17.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to higher sales levels and related improved fixed cost absorption within our Aerospace and Packaging segments, a more favorable product sales mix, and favorable commercial actions within our Aerospace segment, as well as due to the favorable impact of prior year operational improvement actions within our Packaging segment. The increase in operating profit was partially offset by reduced sales in our Specialty Products segment as the increase in operating profit related to increased steel cylinder sales was more than offset by the loss of sales related to the divestiture of our Arrow Engine business. In addition, operating profit decreased due to a $0.5 million purchase accounting charge related to the step-up of GMT Aerospace's inventory to fair value, increased input costs in our Packaging segment, higher employee-related costs, higher consulting costs and costs associated with actions to reorganize the corporate office.

Current report

Gross profit increased $3.4 million to $35.6 million, or 24.9% of sales, in the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to $32.1 million, or 24.3% of sales, in the three months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to higher sales levels and resulting improved fixed cost absorption, as well as the favorable impact of prior year operational improvement actions.

Current report

On July 4, 2025, President Donald J. Trump signed into law the legislation formally titled “An Act to provide for reconciliation pursuant to title II of H. Con. Res. 14” —and commonly referred to as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act ("OBBBA"). The legislation takes effect in the third quarter of 2025.

Reworded paragraphs (46)

Previous wording

Ourresults of operations have been materially impacted over the past few years by macro-economic factors, most recently by cost inflation (raw materials, wage rates and freight) and a lack of material, and in certain regions, skilled labor availability. Additionally, the U.S. government recently altered its approach to international trade policy and announced baseline tariffs on products from all countries and additional individualized reciprocal tariffs on the countries with which the United States has the largest trade deficits, including China. This change in international trade policy has also created uncertainty with respect to future tariffs, including any retaliatory tariffs imposed by other countries, or other potential governmental actions. These factors have significantly affected each of our businesses and how we operate, albeit in different ways and magnitudes. The current tariffs, predominately those imposed on China-based imports, have increased the costs of certain products sourced from non-U.S. countries. Sales of certain of our products for industrial applications, for example steel cylinders for packaged gas applications, have experienced volatility in demand related to customers securing a high order rates in prior periods, only to enter a period of destocking in more recent periods. This significant level of volatility in demand levels, input and transportation costs, and material and labor availability, have pressured our ability to operate efficiently in recent periods. While some areas of demand volatility and softness remain, such as in our Specialty Products segment, and more specifically our Norris Cylinder business, we have experienced more steady and consistent demand in our Packaging and Aerospace segments.

Packaging. Net sales increased $11.1 million, or 8.4% (of which 7.9% was organic and 0.5% was foreign currency exchange), to $143.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to $131.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2024. Sales of dispensing products used primarily for beauty, personal care and home care applications increased by $13.4 million. Sales of products used for industrial applications increased by $0.2 million and sales of other consumer goods products increased by $3.2 million. These increases were partially offset by the decrease in sales of products used in food and beverage applications of $6.3 million, primarily due to reduced demand for certain dairy applications in North America and beverage closure applications in Europe. Net sales increased by $0.6 million due to currency exchange, as our reported results in U.S. dollars were favorably impacted as a result of the weakening of the U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies, as compared to second quarter 2024.
