CTS Corporation reported its financial results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2025, showing a notable increase in net sales and gross margin compared to the same period in 2024. For the third quarter, net sales reached $142.97 million, an 8.0% increase from $132.38 million in the prior year. The nine-month figures also reflected growth, with sales totaling $404.05 million, up 4.1% from $388.30 million. Gross margin for the third quarter improved to $55.34 million, a 12.5% increase from $49.19 million, while the nine-month gross margin rose to $154.32 million, a 9.7% increase from $140.65 million.

Despite the revenue growth, net earnings for the third quarter decreased by 24.3% to $13.69 million, down from $18.08 million in the same quarter last year. This decline was attributed to a significant increase in income tax expense, which rose 60.3% to $6.03 million, and a decrease in other income, which turned to a net expense of $1.22 million compared to a gain of $0.97 million in the prior year. For the nine-month period, net earnings increased slightly to $45.58 million from $43.91 million, reflecting a 3.8% growth.

Strategically, CTS completed the acquisition of SyQwest, LLC on July 29, 2024, which contributed $8.77 million in sales during the third quarter of 2025. This acquisition is expected to enhance CTS's capabilities in the defense sector. The company also reported a 21.7% increase in sales to diversified end markets, with notable growth in aerospace and defense, as well as medical sectors. However, sales in the transportation market decreased by 7.1%, primarily due to lower volumes in commercial vehicle-related products.

Operationally, CTS's total assets increased to $790.37 million as of September 30, 2025, up from $765.43 million at the end of 2024. The company reported a cash and cash equivalents balance of $110.30 million, reflecting a significant increase from $94.33 million at the end of the previous year. The company’s long-term debt decreased slightly to $90.70 million from $92.30 million. Looking ahead, CTS remains focused on leveraging its recent acquisitions and expanding its market presence, while navigating challenges such as inflation and supply chain disruptions. The company anticipates continued growth in its diversified markets, supported by ongoing investments in research and development.
