Company Guidance -

Q3 2025

During Ascent Industries' Second Quarter 2025 earnings call, the company provided several key metrics that highlight its ongoing transformation and financial performance. Ascent successfully divested its Tubular segment assets, resulting in a $2.1 million annualized headwind to adjusted EBITDA from its idle facility in Munhall, Pennsylvania. The company's revenue increased by $817,000 sequentially to $18.7 million, although it fell short of the $21.4 million from the prior year due to broader market softness. Gross profit rose by $1.8 million from Q1 and $2.1 million year-over-year, with gross margin expanding to 26.1%, up 888 basis points sequentially and 1,298 basis points year-over-year. Adjusted EBITDA improved by $131,000 sequentially but resulted in a loss of $335,000 for the quarter, a shortfall of $53,000 compared to the prior year. Despite $475,000 in Munhall-related costs, the company achieved significant cost improvements, including a $1.2 million year-over-year improvement in labor, overhead, and production variances. Ascent also secured over $3.1 million in annualized new revenue at a 29% gross margin, with strategic sourcing and operational efficiencies contributing to reduced raw material costs and enhanced profitability. The balance sheet remained strong with $60.5 million in cash and no debt, alongside a $13.4 million availability under its revolver, supporting the company's disciplined capital allocation and future growth investments.
