Fiscal Year 2025
-
2025 delivered strong revenue and profit growth, led by defense and molded products, while ARS faced softness from tariff-driven supply chain shifts. Net debt fell sharply, and volume recovery at ARS is expected mid-2026, with contingency plans in place for trade risks.

Q3 2025 delivered higher sales and improved profitability, driven by defense products growth and efficiency gains, despite ongoing softness in rubber solutions and macroeconomic uncertainty. Net debt and leverage ratios improved, with optimism for defense and new customer launches in Q4.
-
Q2 2025 delivered higher sales, gross profit, and EBITDA year-over-year, led by defense contract strength, but Rubber Solutions faced volume and margin declines amid industrial softness. Persistent trade and supply chain risks cloud the outlook, though new product lines and U.S. capacity offer growth potential.
-
Q1 2025 saw improved sales, gross profit, and EBITDA, led by defense business strength, while rubber solutions faced tariff-driven volatility. Management remains focused on risk mitigation, cost control, and leveraging a record defense backlog for future growth.
Fiscal Year 2024
-
Q4 2024 saw flat sales but a sharp rise in gross profit due to the absence of prior-year write-downs and improved defense business performance. The company faces ongoing risks from tariffs and geopolitical uncertainty but enters 2025 with a strong defense backlog and robust contingency plans.

Q3 2024 saw lower sales but improved gross profit, driven by defense contract wins and cost management. Volume recovery is expected in early 2025, with stable margins likely as major contracts ramp up. Defense business momentum and industry-wide inventory reductions shaped results.

Q2 2024 saw a 16.4% drop in net sales and a $6M inventory write-down, with Rubber Solutions maintaining gross profit through margin expansion and cost controls. Recovery is expected as the US industrial base improves and Bandolier contract deliveries ramp up.
