Gates Industrial Corporation plc is a global leader in providing application-specific power transmission and fluid power solutions, serving a diverse range of industries, including automotive and industrial sectors, with a presence in over 130 countries.
In its third-quarter 2024 earnings report, Gates Industrial reported a decline in net sales and net income compared to the previous year, citing challenging market conditions and unfavorable foreign currency impacts, while also announcing an increase in their full-year adjusted earnings per share guidance.
Key financial metrics for the third quarter included net sales of $830.7 million, down 4.8% from the previous year, and a net income attributable to shareholders of $47.6 million, translating to $0.18 per diluted share. Despite these declines, the adjusted EBITDA margin expanded slightly to 22.0%, aided by enterprise initiatives that improved manufacturing performance and pricing.
The company’s Power Transmission and Fluid Power segments both saw reductions in net sales, with the Power Transmission segment experiencing a 4.3% decline and the Fluid Power segment a 5.7% decline, primarily due to reduced demand in key industrial markets. Nonetheless, both segments managed to improve their EBITDA margins slightly through strategic initiatives.
Looking ahead, Gates Industrial remains focused on achieving organic revenue growth and improving its balance sheet, with management expressing confidence in their ability to deliver increased adjusted EBITDA margins for the full year of 2024, despite the current market challenges.
