In its latest financial release, Hubbell Incorporated reported a solid performance for the fourth quarter and full year of 2024. The company achieved an adjusted diluted earnings per share (EPS) of $4.10 for Q4, marking an 11% year-over-year increase. Despite a slight decline in net sales for Q4, Hubbell realized significant operating margin expansion, indicating effective operational strategies.
Key highlights from the earnings report include a 4% increase in net sales within the Utility Solutions segment, driven by acquisitions, and a notable rise in the segment’s operating income compared to the previous year. The Electrical Solutions segment, however, experienced a decrease in net sales primarily due to a divestiture, yet improved its operating margin through strategic management and business simplification initiatives. The company’s free cash flow also witnessed a substantial increase, reflecting strong cash generation.
Looking ahead, Hubbell’s management remains optimistic about 2025, forecasting continued growth in net sales, operating margin, and profit. The company anticipates adjusted EPS to range between $17.35 and $17.85, aligning with its long-term strategy to deliver sustained value to shareholders while navigating market challenges.
