Griffon Corporation Announces Third Quarter Results

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Griffon Corporation (鈥淕riffon鈥� or the 鈥淐ompany鈥�) (NYSE:GFF) today reported results for the fiscal 2025 third quarter ended June 30, 2025.

Revenue for the third quarter totaled $613.6 million, a 5% decrease compared to $647.8 million in the prior year quarter.

During the fiscal 2025 third quarter, Griffon recorded a net loss of $120.1 million, or $2.65 per share, which included a charge of $217.2 million, net of tax, or $4.69 per share, related to the impairment of Hunter Fan acquisition related goodwill and intangible assets in the Consumer and Professional Products ("CPP") segment. Prior year third quarter net income was $41.1 million, or $0.84 per share.

Adjusted net income, which excludes all items that affect comparability from both periods, was $69.2 million, or $1.50 per share, in the current year quarter compared to $60.5 million, or $1.24 per share, in the prior year quarter. For a reconciliation of net income (loss) to adjusted net income (a non-GAAP measure), and earnings (loss) per share to adjusted earnings per share (a non-GAAP measure), see the attached table.

Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter was $134.7 million, a 7% increase from the prior year quarter of $125.5 million. Adjusted EBITDA, excluding unallocated amounts (primarily corporate overhead) of $13.3 million in the current quarter and $15.3 million in the prior year quarter, totaled $148.0 million, increasing 5% from the prior year of $140.8 million. For a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, to income (loss) before taxes, and the definition of adjusted EBITDA, see the attached table.

鈥淥ur Home and Building Products' ("HBP") segment continued its strong performance this quarter. For the first nine-months of the year, HBP exceeded our expectations led by an EBITDA margin of 31.4% driven by favorable price and mix,鈥� said Ronald J. Kramer, Chairman and CEO of Griffon. 鈥淥ur Consumer and Professional Products segment has continued to be impacted by weak demand. However, through the first nine months, its EBITDA margin improved 270 basis points year-over-year driven by the transition of our U.S. operations to an asset-light business model and solid performance from our team in Australia. Given our overall year-to-date performance, and despite uncertain economic operating conditions, we are reaffirming our full-year EBITDA guidance.鈥�

鈥淒uring the first nine months of fiscal 2025, the company generated $261 million of free cash flow,鈥� continued Mr. Kramer. 鈥淪o far this year, Griffon repurchased $113 million of its stock, reduced debt by $76 million, and paid $32 million in dividends while reducing leverage 0.1x to 2.5x. These actions underscore our confidence in the strategic direction of the company and the resiliency of our business.鈥�

Segment Operating Results

Home and Building Products ("HBP")

HBP's third quarter revenue of $400.2 million increased 2% from the prior year quarter due to favorable price and mix of 3%, partially offset by decreased volume of 1%.

Adjusted EBITDA of $128.8 million increased 9% from $118.5 million in the prior year quarter resulting from increased revenue noted above and reduced material costs, partially offset by increased labor costs.

Consumer and Professional Products ("CPP")

CPP's third quarter revenue of $213.4 million decreased 16% compared to the prior year quarter, primarily driven by decreased volume of 19% due to reduced consumer demand across all geographic regions, except Australia, and disrupted historical customer ordering patterns in the U.S. due to increased tariffs. CPP benefited from price and mix of 2% and incremental revenue from the Pope acquisition contributed 1%.

Adjusted EBITDA of $19.2 million decreased 14% from $22.3 million in the prior year quarter, primarily due to decreased revenue noted above, partially offset by the benefits from the U.S. global sourcing expansion initiative, improved margins across all geographic regions, and reduced administrative expenses. Foreign currency had a 1% unfavorable impact on the current quarter adjusted EBITDA.

Taxes

The Company reported a pretax loss from operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 compared to pretax income from operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, and recognized effective tax rates of 19.5% and 32.7%, respectively. Excluding all items that affect comparability, the effective tax rates for the quarters ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 were 27.4% and 27.9%, respectively.

Balance Sheet and Capital Expenditures

As of June 30, 2025, the Company had cash and equivalents of $107.3 million and total debt outstanding of $1.45 billion, resulting in net debt of $1.34 billion. During the quarter, debt was reduced by $87 million. Leverage, as calculated in accordance with our credit agreement (see the attached table), was 2.5x net debt to EBITDA compared to 2.7x at June 30, 2024 and 2.6x at September 30, 2024. At June 30, 2025, borrowing availability under the revolving credit facility was $449.5 million, subject to certain loan covenants.

Free cash flow of $261 million for the nine month period ended June 30, 2025 reflects the Company's strong operating results through the third quarter of 2025. Capital expenditures, net, were $8.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025. For a reconciliation of free cash flow, a non-GAAP measure, to net cash provided by operating activities, and the definition of free cash flow, see the attached table.

Share Repurchases

Share repurchases during the quarter ended June 30, 2025 totaled 0.6 million shares for a total of $40.3 million, or an average of $69.28 per share. Since April 2023 and through June 30, 2025, the Company purchased 10.5 million shares of common stock or 18.4% of the outstanding shares, for a total of $538.4 million or an average of $51.15 per share. As of June 30, 2025, $319.6 million remained under the Board authorized share repurchase program.

Updated 2025 Outlook

We now expect fiscal year 2025 revenue to be $2.5 billion versus prior guidance of $2.6 billion. The $100 million reduction is attributable to the CPP segment, reflecting ongoing weak consumer demand coupled with the impact of increased tariffs disrupting historical customer ordering patterns.

We are maintaining segment adjusted EBITDA guidance of $575 million to $600 million, with the upper end of the range reflecting potential incremental volume. We expect HBP segment margin in excess of 31%, versus prior guidance of in excess of 30%, and CPP EBITDA margin of approximately 8%, versus our prior guidance of in excess of 9%.

We now expect interest expense to be $95 million versus our prior guidance of $102 million, and capital expenditures of $60 million versus prior guidance of $65 million. We continue to expect free cash flow to exceed net income, depreciation of $42 million, amortization of $23 million, and a normalized tax rate of approximately 28%.

Griffon evaluates performance and allocates resources based on segment adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP measures, which are defined as income (loss) before taxes, excluding interest income and expense, depreciation and amortization, strategic review charges, non-cash impairment charges, restructuring charges, gain/loss from debt extinguishment and acquisition related expenses, as well as other items that may affect comparability, as applicable.

The following tables provide operating highlights and a reconciliation of segment adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA to income (loss) before taxes:

Griffon believes free cash flow ("FCF", a non-GAAP measure) is a useful measure for investors because it demonstrates the Company's ability to generate cash from operations for purposes such as repaying debt, funding acquisitions and paying dividends. FCF is defined as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures, net of proceeds.

The following table provides a reconciliation of net cash provided by operating activities to FCF:

Net debt to EBITDA (Leverage ratio), a non-GAAP measure, is a key financial measure that is used by management to assess the borrowing capacity of the Company. The Company has defined its net debt to EBITDA leverage ratio as net debt (total principal debt outstanding net of cash and equivalents) divided by the sum of trailing twelve-month (鈥淭TM鈥�) adjusted EBITDA (as defined above) and TTM stock-based compensation expense. The following table provides a calculation of our net debt to EBITDA leverage ratio as calculated per our credit agreement:

Griffon evaluates performance based on adjusted net income and the related adjusted earnings per share, which excludes restructuring charges, gain/loss from debt extinguishment, acquisition related expenses, discrete and certain other tax items, as well other items that may affect comparability, as applicable, non-GAAP measures.
