Results of Operations – Second Quarter of 2025 compared to the Second Quarter of 2024
Current report
In the second quarter of 2025, the Company elected to change its method of accounting for certain inventories in the U.S. from last in, first out ("LIFO") to first in, first out ("FIFO"). The change to FIFO is preferable because it conforms the Company's inventory to a single method of accounting and improves comparability with the Company's peers. The Company retrospectively applied this change in accounting principle to all prior periods.
Current report
Second quarter 2025 net sales were$1,484.3 million and increased by 2.2%, driven by an increase in organic sales volume of 2.0%, due to favorable price realization and an increase from acquisitions of 0.3% from the acquisition of Ventev in the first quarter of 2025.
Current report
S&A expense in the second quarter of 2025 was $215.8 million and increased by $8.3 million or 4.0% compared to the prior year period. This increase was primarily driven by higher acquisition-related intangible asset amortization and higher professional services in the current year compared to the prior year. S&A expense as a percentage of Net sales was 14.5% in the second quarter of 2025, compared to 14.3% in the second quarter of 2024.
Current report
Total other expense was flat compared to the second quarter of 2024. Total other expense decreased due to lower net interest expense of $5.3 million, which was offset by lower TSA revenue, higher non-service pension costs an unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange in the second quarter of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024.
Current report
The effective tax rate in the second quarter of 2025 decreased to 22.1% as compared to 23.2% in the second quarter of 2024, primarily due to a reduction of the state effective tax rate and a favorable foreign return to provision adjustment in the second quarter of 2025 compared to the second quarter of 2024.
Current report
Net sales in the Utility Solutions segment in the second quarter of 2025 were $935.5 million, and increased by $9.0 million, or 0.9%, as compared to the second quarter of 2024. That increase was driven by a 1.1% increase in organic net sales, and a 0.2% decrease due to foreign currency exchange. The increase in organic net sales was driven by a low single digit increase in price realization, while volume was flat. Volume was driven by strength in substation and transmission markets, which was offset by Grid Automation products on the timing of large metering and AMI projects.
Current report
Operating income in the Utility Solutions segment for the second quarter of 2025 was $218.2 million, an increase of 10.6% compared to the second quarter of 2024. Operating margin increased by 200 basis points to 23.3% in the second quarter of 2025, and includes the effect of lower amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets and transaction, integration and separation costs. Excluding amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets and transaction, integration and separation costs, the adjusted operating margin increased by 140 basis points to 25.5%. That increase includes approximately three percentage points of margin expansion from favorable price realization, improved operational productivity and improved business mix. Those factors were partially offset by two percentage points of margin contraction due to material and other cost inflation, including tariff expense.
Current report
Net sales in the Electrical Solutions segment in the second quarter of 2025 were $548.8 million and increased by $22.8 million, or 4.3%, as compared to the second quarter of 2024. That increase includes 3.5% growth in organic net sales, and a 0.9% increase due to acquisitions. The increase in organic net sales was driven by a low single digit percentage increase in price realization, while volume was approximately flat.

Results of Operations – First Quarter of 2025 compared to the First Quarter of 2024
Previous report
First quarter 2025 net sales were$1,365.2 million and decreased by 2.4%, driven by a 1.2% decline from divestitures net of acquisitions, and a 0.6% contraction of organic net sales driven by lower volume.
Previous report
In December 2023, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell its residential lighting business for a cash purchase price of $131 million, subject to customary adjustments. The residential lighting business was reported within the Electrical Solutions Segment. The decline from divestitures reflects the sale of that business, which contributed $21.1 million to first quarter 2024 net sales prior to the closing of that transaction, and is partially offset by a modest contribution to net sales from the acquisition of Ventev in the first quarter of 2025.
Previous report
The first quarter of 2024 also includes a $5.3 million loss on the sale of the residential lighting business, which is recorded within Total other expense in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income.

S&A expense as a percentage of Net sales was 15.0% in the first six months of 2025, compared to 14.9% in the first six months of 2024.
Previous wording
Total other expense decreased by $8.0 million in the first quarter of 2025 to $19.1 million, primarily due to lower net interest expense of $7.3 million, due to lower outstanding debt balances, along with the $5.3 million loss recognized on the disposition of the residential lighting business during the first quarter of 2024. These decreases were partially offset by an unfavorable impact of foreign exchange and higher non-service pension cost in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024.
Current wording
Total other expense decreased by $7.9 million in the first six months of 2025 to $40.2 million, primarily due to lower net interest expense of $12.6 million, due to lower outstanding debt balances, along with a $4.9 million net decrease on the loss recognized on business disposition, primarily due to the disposal of the residential lighting business in the first quarter of 2024.

Previous wording
Net sales in the Utility Solutions segment in the first quarter of 2025 were $857.1 million, and decreased by $36.9 million, or 4.2%, as compared to the first quarter of 2024.

Previous wording
Cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was$37.4 million compared to cash provided by operating activities of $92.2 million for the same period in 2024. The decrease in cash provided by operations is due to an increase in working capital, primarily within accounts receivable driven by the timing of sales, a $20.0 million contribution to our pension plan, and lower depreciation and amortization expense in 2025. Those factors are partially offset by higher net income and a lower use of cash for incentive payments in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the same prior year period.
Current wording
Cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was$298.0 million compared to cash provided by operating activities of $331.8 million for the same period in 2024. The decrease in cash provided by operations is due to an increase in working capital, primarily within accounts receivable driven by higher sales volume and higher cash outflows for accounts payable based on timing of disbursements, along with a $20.0 million contribution to our pension plan in 2025. Those factors were partially offset by higher net income and a lower use of cash for incentive payments in the first six months of 2025 compared to the same period of the prior year.

Net sales of $1,484.3 million in the second quarter of 2025 increased by $31.8 million compared to the second quarter of 2024. Organic net sales increased by 2.0% driven by a low single digit percentage increase in price realization, while volumes were flat. Acquisitions contributed an 0.3% increase to net sales, while foreign exchange resulted in a 0.1% decrease in net sales. These changes are discussed in more detail in the Segment Results section below.
Current report — wording carried from elsewhere
As a percentage of Net sales, cost of goods sold decreased by 180 basis points to 62.8% in the second quarter of 2025, resulting in gross profit margin expanding to 37.2%. Approximately four percentage points of gross profit margin expansion was driven by favorable price, improved operational productivity, lower acquisition-related intangible asset amortization, and improved business mix, partially offset by two percentage points of gross profit margin contraction due to material and other cost inflation, including tariff expense.
