Whirlpool's first quarter performance was solid with growth in key segments and strong cash flow improvement. However, challenges from increased Asian imports and economic uncertainty in North America present significant headwinds. The company expects to leverage tariff policy changes and new product innovations for future growth.

Company Guidance

During the first quarter of 2025, Whirlpool Corporation reported a 2% organic net sales growth and achieved nearly 6% EBIT margins, despite challenging macroeconomic conditions. The company reiterated its annual guidance and confirmed its dividend payout, maintaining it at $1.75 for both Q1 and Q2. Whirlpool's global EBIT margins expanded by 160 basis points year over year, influenced by pricing actions and cost efficiencies, with a notable $17 million negative impact from its minority stake in Becker Europe BV offset by a $30 million interest rate swap benefit. Free cash flow improved by approximately $200 million compared to the previous year, largely due to the Europe transaction. Whirlpool forecasts a more stable competitive landscape in the second half of the year, leveraging its strong domestic production amid newly announced tariffs, and anticipates accomplishing full-year ongoing margin guidance. The company expects organic growth of approximately 3% to $15.8 billion in net sales for 2025, with ongoing EBIT margins projected to expand by 100 basis points to 6.8%.

Solid First Quarter Performance

Whirlpool achieved 2% organic net sales growth and expanded global EBIT margins by 160 basis points year over year. Free cash flow improved by approximately $200 million versus the prior year.

Strong Performance in MDA Asia

MDA Asia realized net sales growth of 16% year over year, excluding currency, with a 7% EBIT margin in the quarter and 240 basis points of margin expansion.

SDA Global Business Momentum

The SDA global segment achieved significant net sales growth of 10% year over year, with a strong EBIT margin of 18.5% in the quarter.

New Product Launches

Whirlpool introduced several innovative products, including the KitchenAid induction cooktop and JennAir built-in wall oven, contributing to positive market responses and potential future margin expansion.

Tariff Policy Advantages

Whirlpool stands to benefit as a net winner from new tariffs due to its strong US production base, producing 80% of domestic sales in the US.
