H.B. Fuller reports Q4 EPS 57c, consensus 55c

Reports Q4 revenue $771M, consensus $785.0M. “In the first quarter, we delivered on our profit commitment and executed with discipline in a challenging operating environment,” said Celeste Mastin, CEO. “We continued to expand margins by leveraging our global sourcing strength and maintaining a focused approach to cost and portfolio management. Looking ahead, the geopolitical instability in the Middle East adds significant complexity, disruption, and cost to global supply chains. H.B. Fuller (FUL) is acting swiftly and decisively to ensure we are best positioned to maintain supply continuity for our customers. In addition, we recently announced a strategic pricing initiative to responsibly manage additional costs. This will allow us to further differentiate ourselves while we continue to advance our strategic priorities and create sustainable long-term value for our customers and shareholders.”
