Insights

Whirlpool's Q2 shows resilience with stable margins despite sales decline and significant cash burn; outlook remains challenged.

Whirlpool delivered a mixed Q2 performance with significant challenges evident in the results. Net sales declined 5.4% year-over-year to $3.77 billion, or 3.2% excluding currency impacts. Despite this top-line pressure, the company managed to maintain its ongoing EBIT margin at 5.3%, demonstrating effective cost management amid challenging conditions.

The earnings picture reveals more significant concerns. GAAP earnings per share plummeted 70.5% to $1.17, while ongoing EPS fell 43.9% to $1.34. A $19 million non-cash loss from Beko Europe B.V. equity in affiliates impacted results by $0.35 per share. More troubling is the deteriorating cash position, with operating activities using $702 million in cash during the quarter, compared to $485 million used in Q2 2024.

Regional performance varied significantly. North America, Whirlpool's largest segment representing about 65% of sales, saw revenue decline 4.7% with EBIT margin contraction of 40 basis points to 5.9%. This reflects the impact of Asian imports and elevated promotional activity. Small Domestic Appliances was the standout performer, with 7.5% revenue growth and impressive EBIT margin expansion of 340 basis points to 17.3%, driven by direct-to-consumer sales and new products.

Looking ahead, management has updated full-year guidance with GAAP EPS of $5.00 to $7.00 and ongoing EPS of $6.00 to $8.00. The company also aims to deliver $200 million in structural cost reductions and generate approximately $400 million in free cash flow. Additionally, the company refinanced $1.2 billion of term loan debt at approximately 6.3% weighted average, showing proactive debt management despite the challenging environment.

  • Delivered sequential net sales growth across all segments, despite negative consumer sentiment impacting global demand
  • Delivered significant cost take out of 100 basis points or approximately $50 million, in-line with full year expectations
  • Q2 GAAP net earnings margin of 1.7%; GAAP earnings per diluted share of $1.17
  • Q2 ongoing (non-GAAP) EBIT margin(1) of 5.3%; ongoing earnings per diluted share(2) of $1.34
  • Second-quarter results were unfavorably impacted by a non cash loss of $19 million, or $0.35 earnings per diluted share from Beko Europe B.V. equity in affiliates
  • 2025 outlook is updated with full-year GAAP earnings per diluted share of approximately $5.00 to $7.00, and ongoing earnings per diluted share(2) of $6.00 to $8.00; cash provided by operating activities of approximately $850 million and free cash flow(3) of approximately $400 million
  • Refinanced $1.2 billion of term loan debt at approximately 6.3% weighted average

BENTON HARBOR, Mich., July 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Whirlpool Corporation (NYSE: WHR), today reported second-quarter financial results.

"As expected, the second quarter continued to be impacted by competitors stockpiling Asian imports into the U.S. Despite this, we are well positioned in North America with a robust pipeline of new products, the industry's leading U.S. manufacturing footprint, and favorable housing demand fundamentals. We are confident in our long-term strategy and believe that evolving tariff policies will ultimately support domestic manufacturers."

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION - CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
(Millions of dollars except per share data) (Unaudited)

We supplement the reporting of our financial information determined under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) with certain non-GAAP financial measures, some of which we refer to as "ongoing" measures. These measures may include earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT), EBIT margin, ongoing EBIT, ongoing EBIT margin, ongoing earnings per diluted share, adjusted effective tax rate, net debt leverage (Net Debt/Ongoing EBITDA), return on invested capital (ROIC) and free cash flow.

Ongoing measures exclude items that may not be indicative of, or are unrelated to, results from our ongoing operations and provide a better baseline for analyzing trends in our underlying businesses.

Sales excluding foreign currency: Current period net sales translated in functional currency, to U.S. dollars using the applicable prior period's exchange rate compared to the applicable prior period net sales. Management believes that sales excluding foreign currency provides stockholders with a clearer basis to assess our results over time, excluding the impact of exchange rate fluctuations.
Ongoing EBIT margin: Ongoing earnings before interest and taxes divided by net sales. Ongoing measures exclude items that may not be indicative of, or are unrelated to, results from our ongoing operations and provide a better baseline for analyzing trends in our underlying businesses.
Ongoing earnings per diluted share: Diluted net earnings per share from continuing operations, adjusted to exclude items that may not be indicative of, or are unrelated to, results from our ongoing operations. Ongoing measures provide a better baseline for analyzing trends in our underlying businesses.
Net debt leverage: Net debt to ongoing earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) ratio is net debt outstanding, including long-term debt, current maturities of long-term debt, and notes payable, less cash and cash equivalents, divided by ongoing EBITDA. Management believes that net debt leverage provides stockholders with a view of our ability to generate earnings sufficient to service our debt.
Return on invested capital: Ongoing EBIT after taxes divided by total invested capital, defined as total assets less non-interest bearing current liabilities (NIBCLS). NIBCLS is defined as current liabilities less current maturities of long-term debt and notes payable. This ROIC definition may differ from other companies' methods and therefore may not be comparable to those used by other companies. Management believes that ROIC provides stockholders with a view of capital efficiency, a key driver of stockholder value creation.
Adjusted effective tax rate: Effective tax rate, excluding pre-tax income and tax effect of certain unique items. Management believes that adjusted tax rate provides stockholders with a meaningful, consistent comparison of the Company's effective tax rate, excluding the pre-tax income and tax effect of certain unique items.
Free cash flow:Cash provided by (used in) operating activities less capital expenditures. Management believes that free cash flow provides stockholders with a relevant measure of liquidity and a useful basis for assessing the Company's ability to fund its activities and obligations.

Whirlpool does not provide a non-GAAP reconciliation for its forward-looking long-term value creation goals, such as EBIT, free cash flow conversion, ROIC and net debt leverage, as these long-term management goals are not annual guidance, and the reconciliation of these long-term measures would rely on market factors and certain other conditions and assumptions that are outside of the Company's control.

We believe that these non-GAAP measures provide meaningful information to assist investors and stockholders in understanding our financial results and assessing our prospects for future performance, and reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of our operations that, when viewed with our GAAP financial measures, provide a more complete understanding of our business. Because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare these financial measures with other companies' non-GAAP financial measures having the same or similar names. These ongoing financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for reported net earnings available to Whirlpool per diluted share, net earnings, net earnings available to Whirlpool, net earnings margin, return on assets, net sales, effective tax rate and cash provided by (used in) operating activities, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

We also disclose segment EBIT as an important financial metric used by the Company's Chief Operating Decision Maker to evaluate performance and allocate resources in accordance with ASC 280 - Segment Reporting.

GAAP net earnings available to Whirlpool per basic or diluted share (as applicable) and ongoing earnings per diluted share are presented net of tax, while individual adjustments in each reconciliation are presented on a pre-tax basis; the income tax impact line item aggregates the tax impact for these adjustments. The tax impact of individual line item adjustments may not foot precisely to the aggregate income tax impact amount, as each line item adjustment may include non-taxable components. Historical quarterly earnings per share amounts are presented based on a normalized tax rate adjustment to reconcile quarterly tax rates to full-year tax rate expectations. We strongly encourage investors and stockholders to review our financial statements and publicly-filed reports in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure.

*Earnings Before Interest & Taxes (EBIT) is a non-GAAP measure. The Company does not provide a forward-looking quantitative reconciliation of EBIT to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, net earnings available to Whirlpool, because the net earnings available to noncontrolling interests item of such reconciliation -- which has historically represented a relatively insignificant amount of the Company's overall net earnings -- implicates the Company's projections regarding the earnings of the Company's non wholly-owned subsidiaries and joint ventures that cannot be quantified precisely or without unreasonable efforts.
