The earnings call reflects a company facing significant challenges due to revenue declines and tariff impacts, balanced by strong brand performance, innovation, and strategic cost-saving initiatives. The ongoing supply chain transformation and strong financial management are positives, but the immediate impact of tariffs and market conditions weigh heavily on current performance.

Company Guidance

During the Stanley Black & Decker's Second Quarter 2025 Earnings Conference Call, the company provided several key metrics and guidance for the future. The revenue for the second quarter was reported at $3.9 billion, marking a 2% year-over-year decline and a 3% organic decline, attributed to a slow outdoor buying season and tariff-related disruptions. The adjusted gross margin rate was reported at 27.5%, down from the previous year due to impacts from tariffs and lower volume, although supply chain efficiencies and initial price actions provided some offset. The adjusted EBITDA margin was 8.1%, down by 260 basis points from the prior year. Adjusted earnings per share stood at $1.08, inclusive of a discrete tax benefit, while the free cash flow was $135 million. The company detailed its strategy to mitigate tariff impacts and confirmed plans for further pricing actions, aiming to return to a 35% adjusted gross margin trajectory. For the full year 2025, the company maintains an adjusted EPS guidance of approximately $4.65, with a target of $600 million in free cash flow, emphasizing disciplined cash management and deleveraging as key priorities.
