Allient reports Q3 EPS 59c, consensus 49c

Reports Q3 revenue $138.7M, consensus $134.2M. “Our results underscore the strong progress we are making. We delivered record gross margin of 33.3% and expanded operating margin by 350 basis points year-over-year on 11% revenue growth, while achieving robust cash generation and deleveraging year-to-date. Demand remained healthy across Industrial applications, particularly power quality solutions for data center infrastructure, and we continued to execute on key defense and medical applications,” commented Dick Warzala, Chairman and CEO. “At the same time, the macro backdrop remains fluid, including ongoing challenges in supply chains for components that use heavy rare earth materials. We have been proactive, broadening suppliers, qualifying alternative materials, managing inventory more dynamically, and working closely with customers, to mitigate these risks. With our Simplify to Accelerate NOW actions gaining traction, a balanced backlog, and focused investments in high-value Motion, Controls and Power solutions, we believe Allient (ALNT) is well positioned to drive resilient performance and profitability through varying market conditions.”
