Previous wording

Our consolidated bookings increased 7% to $269.4 million in the second quarter of 2025 compared to the second quarter of 2024, driven by a 25% increase in demand for our capital equipment products. Notably, this strong bookings performance led to an increase in our quarter-end backlog to $299.1 million, representing a 16% increase from year-end 2024. Part of the increased demand in the second quarter of 2025 resulted from orders delayed from the first quarter as customers awaited more clarity on the impact of tariffs. While there has been some clarification on certain country-specific tariffs, newly announced tariffs, such as the recent steel import tariff increase, continue to create unease and uncertainty in the market. This environment of evolving trade policies has impacted our customers' decision-making process and resulted in a lengthening in quote-to-order times for capital orders, with some customers delaying capital projects into 2026. While investments in maintenance and mission-critical equipment continue, customers with flexibility in project timing are deferring capital expenditures until there is greater clarity regarding the tariff situation and the economy. This impact is more pronounced in our Industrial Processing segment, where average capital order values are significantly higher compared to our other segments. In response, our operations teams have been assessing our exposure to both existing and proposed tariffs and continue to develop and implement mitigation measures.

Current wording

Our consolidated bookings increased 3% to $763.9 million in the first nine months of 2025 compared to the first nine months of 2024, driven by increased demand for our parts and consumables products. Demand for our capital equipment products was flat compared to the first nine months of 2024 as market uncertainty has impacted our customers' capital investment decisions. This uncertainty was driven by escalating tariff rates on U.S. imports and exports impacting manufacturers’ input costs. Although certain country-specific tariffs have since been clarified, ongoing trade negotiations continue to impact the market. This evolving trade environment has resulted in longer quote-to-order conversion times for capital orders, with some customers delaying projects into 2026. While customers continue to invest in maintenance and mission-critical equipment, those with discretion over project timing are deferring capital expenditures pending greater clarity regarding input costs and broader economic conditions. This impact is more pronounced in our Industrial Processing segment, where average capital order values are significantly higher than in our other segments. In response, our operations teams continue to evaluate our exposure to both existing and proposed tariffs and develop and implement mitigation measures.

Previous wording

From a geographic perspective, tariff-related developments in North America have created market uncertainty, which may lead to inflationary pressures. In Europe, uncertainty surrounding trade tensions and geopolitical risks continue to impact the market. In China, government-led initiatives seek to stimulate domestic demand and manufacturing activity, but escalating trade tensions with the United States are generally expected to have a negative impact.

Current wording

From a geographic perspective, the volatility in tariff rates have contributed to market uncertainty in North America, leading to cautious spending by manufacturers. In Europe, cost pressures and ongoing economic uncertainty related to trade tensions and geopolitical risks continue to impact market activity. In China, although government-led initiatives seek to stimulate domestic demand and manufacturing activity, escalating trade tensions with the United States are generally expected to have a negative impact.

Previous wording

Overall, we anticipate stronger bookings in 2025 compared to 2024, especially in our Industrial Processing segment. However, the timing for securing capital orders remains uncertain and may shift between quarters or extend into 2026, depending in part by the outcome of ongoing tariff negotiations and the implementation of any tariff changes. Despite this near-term variability, we see long-term strength in our end markets as customers continue to depend on our products to enhance productivity through more efficient production processes. Additionally, we see growth opportunities from both proposed and enacted legislation in the U.S. and internationally aimed at fueling investment.

Current wording

Overall, we anticipate sequentially stronger bookings in the fourth quarter of 2025 and comparatively higher bookings for the full year 2025 compared to 2024, especially in our Industrial Processing segment. We see long-term strength in our end markets as customers continue to rely on our products to enhance productivity through more efficient production processes. In addition, we anticipate growth opportunities resulting from both proposed and enacted legislation in the United States and internationally that is designed to stimulate investment.

Previous wording

•Flow Control – Our Flow Control segment bookings were essentially flat compared to the second quarter of 2024, with strong demand for our parts and consumables products in North America, offset by weaker bookings in Europe where constrained market conditions and geopolitical tensions have dampened spending. In certain European markets, excess production capacity and declining demand for graphic paper have led to the closure of several mills, which negatively impacted demand for our capital equipment products. In North America, while quote activity related to capital projects remains strong, there have been delays in the timing for securing orders. We expect overall demand in this segment to improve as the year progresses, especially with increased clarity related to trade discussions and tariffs.

Current wording

•Flow Control – Our Flow Control segment bookings increased 3% in the first nine months of 2025 compared to the first nine months of 2024. This increase was primarily driven by strong demand for our parts and consumables products, especially in North America, partially offset by weaker demand for our capital equipment products in most regions. While quote activity related to capital projects remains strong, there have been delays in the timing for securing orders as customers remain cautious regarding their capital spending decisions. In certain European markets, excess production capacity and declining demand have resulted in the closure of several mills, which has adversely affected demand for our capital equipment products. We expect demand in this segment to remain stable for the remainder of the year.

Previous wording

•Industrial Processing – Our Industrial Processing segment bookings increased 9% compared to the second quarter of 2024 driven by strong demand for our capital equipment products at our wood processing product line. This growth was primarily fueled by the engineered wood industry in North America where customers selected our products for their ability to maximize wood fiber utilization. Despite these positive results, overall demand for our capital equipment in the wood processing product line was constrained by uncertain market conditions. Although there is ongoing quote activity for large capital projects, tariff-related uncertainty has led to a lengthening in quote-to-order times as customers await improved market conditions, with some customers in Europe already delaying capital orders into early 2026. Bookings at our fiber processing product line decreased 19% compared to the second quarter of 2024 due to constrained capital spending related to macroeconomic conditions, especially in China. These conditions resulted in several pending capital orders delayed into the third quarter of 2025. Tariff-related uncertainty has had a larger impact on this segment due to the higher average capital order value and our customers’ ability to delay the timing of large capital projects. Despite this, demand for our aftermarket parts in this segment has remained strong, and we expect steady demand to continue for the remainder of 2025. Additionally, we expect demand for our capital equipment in this segment to strengthen in the second half of 2025, with the anticipated receipt of a number of orders in the pipeline.

Current wording

•Industrial Processing – Our Industrial Processing segment bookings increased 3% in the first nine months of 2025 compared to the first nine months of 2024, with strong performance at our wood processing product line, largely offset by weaker results in our fiber processing product line. Within our wood processing product line, capital equipment bookings increased 88% compared to the first nine months of 2024, primarily driven by demand from the engineered wood industry in North America, where customers select our products for their ability to maximize wood fiber utilization. Despite these positive results, overall demand for our capital equipment in the wood processing product line was constrained by uncertain market conditions. While quote activity for large capital projects remains active, tariff-related uncertainty has led to a lengthening in quote-to-order times as customers await improved market conditions, with some customers in Europe delaying capital orders into early 2026. Capital bookings at our fiber processing product line decreased 40% compared to the first nine months of 2024 due to constrained capital spending related to macroeconomic conditions. These conditions have led to the deferral of capital orders to the fourth quarter of 2025 and into 2026. Tariff-related uncertainty has had a greater impact in this segment due to the higher average capital order value and our customers’ ability to delay the timing of large capital projects. Despite this, demand for our aftermarket parts in our Industrial Processing segment has remained strong as customers prioritize maintenance spending. We expect steady demand for our aftermarket parts to continue for the remainder of 2025. In addition, we anticipate a strengthening in demand for our capital equipment in this segment in the fourth quarter of 2025, supported by the expected receipt of several orders currently in the pipeline.

Previous wording

•Material Handling – Our Material Handling segment bookings increased 16% compared to the second quarter of 2024, due to increased demand for our capital equipment products at our conveying and vibratory business. This increase was driven by underground mineral mining projects where customers placed substantial equipment orders to meet their operational needs. Our baling business also experienced increased demand for our capital equipment products, especially in the European market. Despite the overall increase in demand at our baling businesses, market conditions remain constrained, driven by a decline in used paper prices, market uncertainty related to tariffs and concerns over borrowing costs, all of which impact the timing of capital orders. From a tariff perspective, we anticipate some competitive advantage at our North American baling business as customers evaluate the incremental tariff costs on foreign-made balers. However, ongoing tariff-related market uncertainty has tempered demand for our capital equipment products, and we anticipate customers shifting their capital expenditures from larger capital projects to smaller aftermarket products in the short-term. Demand for our parts and consumables products in this segment was consistent with the first quarter of 2025, and we expect stable demand to continue for the remainder of the year.

Current wording

•Material Handling – Our Material Handling segment bookings increased 4% in the first nine months of 2025 compared to the first nine months of 2024, due to increased demand for our capital equipment products at our conveying and vibratory business. This increase was driven by underground mineral mining projects where customers placed substantial equipment orders to meet their operational requirements. Our baling business experienced weaker demand for our capital equipment products in Europe where market conditions remain constrained, driven by a decline in used paper prices, uncertainty related to tariffs, and concerns over borrowing costs, all of which impact the timing of capital orders. However, the baling business has seen steady demand for its aftermarket parts as customers shift their near-term spending from larger capital projects to smaller aftermarket maintenance and replacement purchases. We expect demand in the Material Handling segment to remain stable for the remainder of 2025.

Previous wording

Consolidated SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenue increased to 29.0% in 2025 compared to 25.5% in 2024 largely due to the comparatively lower revenue in 2025. Consolidated SG&A expenses increased $3.9 million, or 6%, compared to 2024. The weakening of the U.S. dollar resulted in a $1.9 million increase in SG&A expenses, including a $1.2 million shift from foreign currency gains in the 2024 period to losses in the 2025 period, and a $0.7 million unfavorable effect of foreign currency translation. In addition, the increase in SG&A expenses includes $2.3 million of SG&A expenses from acquisitions, partially offset by a decrease of $0.5 million of acquisition-related costs. Acquisition-related costs consist of amortization expense associated with acquired backlog and acquisition costs.

Current wording

Previous wording

Consolidated revenue in the first six months of 2025 decreased to $494.5 million, or 6%, while organic revenue decreased 7% primarily due to weaker demand for our capital equipment products. Significant economic uncertainty impacted our customers’ decision-making process leading to a slowdown in capital orders in the second half of 2024 and the first quarter of 2025. As a result, capital revenue was comparatively lower in 2025. From a geographic perspective, organic revenue was impacted by softening demand across all regions due to weak macroeconomic conditions fueled by trade tensions. While customers delayed large capital expenditures, the demand for our parts and consumables was steady, resulting in a 5% increase in parts and consumables revenue compared to the first six months of 2024.

Current wording

Consolidated revenue decreased 4% to $766.0 million in the first nine months of 2025, while organic revenue decreased 6% primarily due to weaker demand for our capital equipment products, especially at our Industrial Processing segment. The volatility of the tariff rates on imports to the United States originally proposed in early 2025 and then subsequently modified, led to a significant slowdown in the timing of securing large capital orders. As a result, capital revenue decreased 23% in the first nine months of 2025 compared to 2024. From a geographic perspective, organic revenue was impacted by softening demand across all regions due to weak macroeconomic conditions fueled by trade tensions and geopolitical issues. While customers delayed large capital expenditures, the demand for our parts and consumables was steady, resulting in a 3% increase in parts and consumables revenue compared to the first nine months of 2024.

This decrease was partially offset by higher demand for parts and consumables products with strength in North America offsetting weaker market conditions in Europe.

Previous wording

Revenue at our Industrial Processing segment decreased 16% in the first six months of 2025 due to reduced demand for our capital equipment products, especially at our wood processing businesses in the latter half of 2024 and the first quarter of 2025. While there is active quote activity for large capital projects, tariff-related uncertainty has increased the time for securing orders with certain orders being delayed to later in 2025 or into 2026. Capital revenue also decreased at our fiber processing businesses in the first six months of 2025, especially in China, where trade tensions were further compounded by sluggish economic conditions resulting in more cautious capital spending. Given the delay in committing to major capital expenditures, many customers focused their spending on critical parts. As a result, there was solid demand for our parts and consumables products in this segment with a 3% increase in aftermarket revenue in the first six months of 2025 compared to the first six months of 2024.
