COLLIERVILLE, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Mueller Industries, Inc. (NYSE: MLI) announces results for the second quarter of 2025. Comparisons are to the second quarter of 2024.

Net Income of $245.9 million versus $160.2 million
Operating Income of $304.2 million versus $210.0 million
Net Sales of $1.14 billion versus $997.7 million
Diluted EPS of $2.22 versus $1.41

The results above include a $36.3 million gain ($28.1 million net of tax) in connection with an insurance claim related to the March 2023 tornado that impacted our operations in Covington, Tennessee. To date since the event, $50.0 million of insurance proceeds have been received, including $15.0 million received in 2025. The claim is not yet fully settled, and additional insurance recovery amounts are expected to be recorded in the future. Exclusive of the proceeds, second quarter results are as follows:

Net Income of $217.9 million versus $160.2 million
Operating Income of $267.9 million versus $210.0 million
Diluted EPS of $1.96 versus $1.41

Second Quarter Financial and Operating Highlights:

COMEX copper averaged $4.72 per pound during the quarter, which represents a 3.7% increase over the prior period.
The quarter over quarter increase in net sales was largely attributable to sales from the two businesses acquired in 2024, and to higher selling prices related to a rise in raw material costs across all businesses.
Net cash generated from operations was $190.6 million.
Our cash balance net of debt was $1.0 billion at quarter end, and our current ratio continues to be strong at 4.9 to 1.

Regarding the quarter performance and outlook, Greg Christopher, Mueller鈥檚 CEO said, 鈥淓xcluding the recovery reported thus far on our tornado related insurance claim, we delivered a record quarter. Tremendous credit goes to our manufacturing operations and commercial teams for their outstanding execution and focus amidst complex market conditions. We are particularly pleased to see the positive progress and contributions made by Nehring and EPC, our 2024 acquisitions, and look forward to their continued improvement.

Business conditions have been unsettled and increasingly challenged for quite some time. Residential construction in the U.S. remains subdued and below levels generally deemed necessary to meet growing pent up demand. We anticipate that demand will increase when interest rates are reduced. Tariff policies are another source of uncertainty, but as a general matter, we believe that the imposition of trade protections will ultimately benefit most of our portfolio companies.鈥�

He added, 鈥淲e are optimistic about the future of our business. We have an excellent growth platform focused in three essential areas: water infrastructure, HVAC/R and electrical transmission. Moreover, we have a proven track record of taking advantage of opportunities coming out of periods of disruption like the present. As such, we continue to invest to increase our efficiency and capabilities, and to actively seek acquisitions that complement our portfolio and support our strategic growth plans.鈥�
