Materion Corporation Reports Second-Quarter 2025 Financial Results

Business Wire4 days ago
MAYFIELD HEIGHTS, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Materion Corporation (NYSE: MTRN) today reported second-quarter 2025 financial results and affirmed full year outlook.
Financial Summary
Net sales were $431.7 million; value-added sales 1 were $269.0 million
Net income of $25.1 million, or $1.21 per share, diluted, versus net income of $19.0 million, or $0.91 per share, in the prior year quarter; adjusted earnings of $1.37 per share versus $1.42 in the prior year quarter
Operating profit of $36.8 million versus operating profit of $32.1 million in the prior year quarter; adjusted EBITDA 2 of $55.8 million, versus $57.8 million in the prior year quarter
Business Highlights
Delivered second-quarter record adjusted EBITDA margin of 20.8%
Generated ~$36 million free cash flow 3 in the quarter
Repurchased 100,000 shares during the quarter at an average of ~$78/share
Completed acquisition to expand semiconductor footprint and capabilities in Asia
'Our business performed very well in the quarter, delivering record margins and strong cash flow, despite the anticipated slowdown in demand from our customers in China,' said Jugal Vijayvargiya, President & CEO of Materion. 'These results are a testament to the outstanding work our teams have done to improve the cost profile and operational performance of our company.'
'Looking ahead, we are encouraged by positive signs we are seeing in several of our end markets. As order rates start to improve and we continue to win new business, we feel confident in affirming our full year guide, despite continued uncertainty surrounding the tariff environment.'
SECOND-QUARTER 2025 RESULTS
Net sales for the quarter were $431.7 million, compared to $425.9 million in the prior year period. Value-added sales were $269.0 million for the quarter, down 2% organic 4 from the prior year period due to lower PMI shipments and sales into China. This decrease was partially offset by strength in aerospace & defense, energy and non-China semiconductor.
Operating profit for the quarter was $36.8 million and net income was $25.1 million, or $1.21 per diluted share, compared to operating profit of $32.1 million and net income of $19.0 million, or $0.91 per share, in the prior year period.
Excluding special items 5, adjusted EBITDA was $55.8 million, or 20.8% of value-added sales, a second-quarter record, compared to $57.8 million or 20.7% of value-added sales in the prior year period. This decrease was driven by lower volume, partially offset by continued strong operational performance and structural cost improvements.
Adjusted net income was $28.5 million excluding acquisition amortization, or $1.37 per diluted share, compared to $1.42 per share in the prior year period.
OUTLOOK
The business performed well in the first half of the year, driving strong results in a volatile and uncertain macroeconomic environment. As we look to the second half, we remain focused on delivering to our customers, driving above market growth and capturing new business opportunities in several key end markets. With improving market dynamics, we expect to deliver a strong second half. With that, we are affirming our initial guide of $5.30 to $5.70 adjusted earnings per share for the full year.
ADJUSTED EARNINGS GUIDANCE
It is not possible for the Company to identify the amount or significance of future adjustments associated with potential insurance and litigation claims, legacy environmental costs, acquisition and integration costs, certain income tax items, or other non-routine costs that the Company adjusts in the presentation of adjusted earnings guidance. These items are dependent on future events that are not reasonably estimable at this time. Accordingly, the Company is unable to reconcile without unreasonable effort the forecasted range of adjusted earnings guidance for the full year to a comparable GAAP range. However, items excluded from the Company's adjusted earnings guidance include the historical adjustments noted in Attachments 4 through 9 to this press release.

The cost of gold, silver, platinum, palladium, copper, ruthenium, iridium, rhodium, rhenium, and osmium is passed through to customers and, therefore, the trends and comparisons of net sales are affected by movements in the market price of these metals. Internally, management also reviews net sales on a value-added basis. Value-added sales is a non-GAAP financial measure that deducts the value of the pass-through metals sold from net sales. Value-added sales allows management to assess the impact of differences in net sales between periods or segments and analyze the resulting margins and profitability without the distortion of the movements in pass-through market metal prices. The dollar amount of gross margin and operating profit is not affected by the value-added sales calculation. The Company sells other metals and materials that are not considered direct pass throughs, and these costs are not deducted from net sales to calculate value-added sales.
The Company's pricing policy is to pass the cost of these metals on to customers in order to mitigate the impact of price volatility on the Company's results from operations. Value-added information is being presented since changes in metal prices may not directly impact profitability. It is the Company's intent to allow users of the financial statements to review sales with and without the impact of the pass-through metals.

In addition to presenting financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), this earnings release contains financial measures, including operating profit, segment operating profit, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization (EBITDA), net income, and earnings per share, on a non-GAAP basis. As detailed in the above reconciliation and Attachment 6, we have adjusted the results for certain special items, including the following:
Restructuring and cost reduction – Costs include restructuring charges, costs associated with temporarily idled facilities as a result of decreased demand and costs associated with disposal of assets associated with obsolete products.
Additional start up resources and scrap – Represents incremental resource, consulting and specialists costs incurred related to the ramp of the precision clad strip facility and scrap related to product qualifications.
Merger, acquisition and divestiture related costs – Includes due diligence costs associated with potential merger, acquisition and divestitures as well as loss on asset disposals.
Business transformation costs – Represents project management and implementation expenses related to the Company's automation and transformation initiatives.
Internally, management reviews the results of operations without the impact of these costs in order to assess the profitability from ongoing activities. We are providing this information because we believe it will assist investors in analyzing our financial results and, when viewed in conjunction with the GAAP results, provide a more comprehensive understanding of the factors and trends affecting our operations.

TransDigm Group (NYSE:TDG) Could Become A Multi-Bagger

To find a multi-bagger stock, what are the underlying trends we should look for in a business? One common approach is to try and find a company with returns on capital employed (ROCE) that are increasing, in conjunction with a growing amount of capital employed. Put simply, these types of businesses are compounding machines, meaning they are continually reinvesting their earnings at ever-higher rates of return. With that in mind, the ROCE of TransDigm Group (NYSE:TDG) looks great, so lets see what the trend can tell us. This technology could replace computers: discover the 20 stocks are working to make quantum computing a reality. Return On Capital Employed (ROCE): What Is It? For those who don't know, ROCE is a measure of a company's yearly pre-tax profit (its return), relative to the capital employed in the business. To calculate this metric for TransDigm Group, this is the formula: Return on Capital Employed = Earnings Before Interest and Tax (EBIT) ÷ (Total Assets - Current Liabilities) 0.20 = US$3.9b ÷ (US$22b - US$2.1b) (Based on the trailing twelve months to March 2025). So, TransDigm Group has an ROCE of 20%. In absolute terms that's a great return and it's even better than the Aerospace & Defense industry average of 11%. View our latest analysis for TransDigm Group In the above chart we have measured TransDigm Group's prior ROCE against its prior performance, but the future is arguably more important. If you're interested, you can view the analysts predictions in our free analyst report for TransDigm Group . The Trend Of ROCE The trends we've noticed at TransDigm Group are quite reassuring. The data shows that returns on capital have increased substantially over the last five years to 20%. The amount of capital employed has increased too, by 32%. This can indicate that there's plenty of opportunities to invest capital internally and at ever higher rates, a combination that's common among multi-baggers. In Conclusion... To sum it up, TransDigm Group has proven it can reinvest in the business and generate higher returns on that capital employed, which is terrific. And with the stock having performed exceptionally well over the last five years, these patterns are being accounted for by investors. With that being said, we still think the promising fundamentals mean the company deserves some further due diligence. If you'd like to know more about TransDigm Group, we've spotted 3 warning signs, and 2 of them are a bit concerning.

The one-year underlying earnings growth at Merck (NYSE:MRK) is promising, but the shareholders are still in the red over that time

Investors can approximate the average market return by buying an index fund. Active investors aim to buy stocks that vastly outperform the market - but in the process, they risk under-performance. That downside risk was realized by Merck & Co., Inc. (NYSE:MRK) shareholders over the last year, as the share price declined 31%. That's disappointing when you consider the market returned 19%. Longer term shareholders haven't suffered as badly, since the stock is down a comparatively less painful 9.3% in three years. The last week also saw the share price slip down another 6.4%. This could be related to the recent financial results - you can catch up on the most recent data by reading our company report. Since Merck has shed US$14b from its value in the past 7 days, let's see if the longer term decline has been driven by the business' economics. Trump has pledged to "unleash" American oil and gas and these 15 US stocks have developments that are poised to benefit. To quote Buffett, 'Ships will sail around the world but the Flat Earth Society will flourish. There will continue to be wide discrepancies between price and value in the marketplace...' One flawed but reasonable way to assess how sentiment around a company has changed is to compare the earnings per share (EPS) with the share price. Even though the Merck share price is down over the year, its EPS actually improved. It could be that the share price was previously over-hyped. The divergence between the EPS and the share price is quite notable, during the year. But we might find some different metrics explain the share price movements better. Merck's dividend seems healthy to us, so we doubt that the yield is a concern for the market. The revenue trend doesn't seem to explain why the share price is down. Of course, it could simply be that it simply fell short of the market consensus expectations. The image below shows how earnings and revenue have tracked over time (if you click on the image you can see greater detail). We like that insiders have been buying shares in the last twelve months. Having said that, most people consider earnings and revenue growth trends to be a more meaningful guide to the business. You can see what analysts are predicting for Merck in this interactive graph of future profit estimates. What About Dividends? As well as measuring the share price return, investors should also consider the total shareholder return (TSR). The TSR is a return calculation that accounts for the value of cash dividends (assuming that any dividend received was reinvested) and the calculated value of any discounted capital raisings and spin-offs. Arguably, the TSR gives a more comprehensive picture of the return generated by a stock. As it happens, Merck's TSR for the last 1 year was -29%, which exceeds the share price return mentioned earlier. The dividends paid by the company have thusly boosted the total shareholder return. A Different Perspective While the broader market gained around 19% in the last year, Merck shareholders lost 29% (even including dividends). However, keep in mind that even the best stocks will sometimes underperform the market over a twelve month period. On the bright side, long term shareholders have made money, with a gain of 4% per year over half a decade. If the fundamental data continues to indicate long term sustainable growth, the current sell-off could be an opportunity worth considering. I find it very interesting to look at share price over the long term as a proxy for business performance. But to truly gain insight, we need to consider other information, too. Take risks, for example - Merck has 1 warning sign we think you should be aware of. Merck is not the only stock that insiders are buying. For those who like to find lesser know companies this free list of growing companies with recent insider purchasing, could be just the ticket.
