Company Guidance
During RBC Bearings' Q2 2025 earnings call, the company reported a 3.2% year-over-year increase in net sales, totaling $398 million, with strong performance in the Aerospace and Defense (A&D) segment, which grew by 12.5%. The defense side saw a remarkable 17.3% growth, while commercial aerospace rose by 10.3%. However, the industrial segment experienced a slight decline of 1.4%. Gross margin for the quarter was $173.8 million, representing 43.7% of sales, reflecting a 55 basis point increase year-over-year. Net income reached $67 million, translating to an adjusted EPS of $2.29, up from $2.17 last year. Cash from operations was $43 million, down from $53 million the previous year, primarily due to cash tax payments.
