The earnings call reflected a mixed performance with strong growth in the Detection and Industrial PPE segments, bolstered by strategic acquisitions and capital deployment. However, challenges in the Fire Service segment, gross margin pressures, and a lower book-to-bill ratio indicate some areas of concern. The company's resilience and operational strength through strategic actions and innovation provide a balanced view.

Company Guidance -

Q3 2025

In the second quarter of 2025, MSA Safety reported a consolidated sales growth of 3%, with adjusted earnings per share reaching $1.93. The M&C TechGroup acquisition contributed $11 million to the quarter's reported sales.

Detection showed mid-single-digit organic growth, while Industrial PPE sales saw a low single-digit contraction. The backlog, though declining more than expected, remained within normalized levels. The company maintained a low single-digit full-year organic growth outlook, with M&C expected to add 2% to revenue growth and be $0.10 accretive to adjusted EPS. Operating margins were down 200 basis points from the previous year, primarily due to gross margin contractions. MSA Safety also increased its annual dividend for the 55th consecutive year and repurchased $30 million of stock during the quarter.
