Miller Industries faced significant challenges in the second quarter of 2025, including a sharp decline in net sales and net income, as well as lower consumer confidence affecting order intake. Despite these challenges, the company improved its gross margin, reduced debt, and increased its cash balance. While there are positive signs in military contracts and RFQ activity, the suspension of earnings guidance and ongoing CARB regulation issues present uncertainties. Overall, the highlights and lowlights are fairly balanced in this earnings call.
Company Guidance -
Q3 2025
In the recent Miller Industries second-quarter 2025 conference call, the company provided revised guidance, anticipating revenues between $750 million and $800 million for the fiscal year while suspending earnings per share guidance due to ongoing market uncertainties. Net sales for Q2 2025 were reported at $214 million, reflecting a 42.4% decrease from the previous year, primarily due to a drop in chassis volumes. Despite the decline in sales, the gross profit margin improved to 16.2% of net sales, attributed to a favorable product mix. The company also highlighted a decrease in interest expenses by 85.6% from the prior year, resulting from reduced debt levels and lower customer floor plan expenses. Miller Industries is taking proactive steps to address industry-wide demand headwinds, focusing on cost reduction initiatives and production adjustments to normalize inventory levels, with expectations of a potential commercial market recovery in the near term. The company's cash balance increased to $31.8 million, and they reduced their debt to $50 million, emphasizing their strategic positioning for future growth despite current challenges.
