Tennant Company reported its financial results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2025, revealing a decline in both revenue and profitability compared to the same periods in 2024. For the third quarter, net sales totaled $303.3 million, a decrease of 4.0% from $315.8 million in the prior year. The nine-month figures also reflected a decline, with sales of $911.9 million, down 4.8% from $957.8 million. The company's operating income for the third quarter was $22.3 million, down from $30.6 million a year earlier, while net income fell to $14.9 million from $20.8 million, resulting in diluted earnings per share of $0.80 compared to $1.09 in the previous year.
The decline in revenue was attributed primarily to a decrease in volume, particularly in North America, which faced a significant backlog-reduction benefit in the prior year. Organic sales declined by 5.4% in the third quarter, although this was partially offset by a 2.8% increase in pricing. The Americas region saw a 6.9% drop in sales, while the Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) region experienced a 5.5% increase, largely due to favorable foreign currency impacts. The Asia Pacific region reported a 7.7% decline in sales, driven by decreased demand in China and South Korea.
In terms of strategic developments, Tennant Company completed the acquisition of Reinigungstechnik 4 You GmbH (R4Y) on September 1, 2025, for $3.6 million, aimed at expanding its presence in the EMEA region. This followed the earlier acquisition of M&F Management and Financing GmbH, which enhanced Tennant's distribution capabilities in Central and Eastern Europe. The company continues to focus on innovation and product development, with research and development expenses remaining stable at $10.5 million for the third quarter.
Operationally, Tennant's total assets increased to $1.26 billion as of September 30, 2025, up from $1.19 billion at the end of 2024. The company reported a current ratio of 2.1, indicating strong liquidity, while its debt-to-capital ratio rose to 27.1%. Cash and cash equivalents remained relatively stable at $99.4 million. Looking ahead, Tennant Company anticipates ongoing challenges due to macroeconomic factors, including geopolitical tensions and inflationary pressures, which may impact customer demand and pricing strategies. The company is committed to managing costs and improving operational efficiencies to navigate these challenges while continuing to invest in growth opportunities.
