Comments on Results
Jeff Leonard, Alamo Group's President and Chief Executive Officer commented, "The Company's solid second quarter results reflected improved operating margin performance. The results were primarily driven by sustained strong demand from governmental agencies and specialty contractors for products offered by the Industrial Equipment Division, coupled with encouraging sequential recovery in markets served by the Vegetation Management Division. While consolidated net sales growth was modest compared to a strong prior year second quarter, sequential improvement exceeded
We were pleased to have again demonstrated strong organic growth in the Industrial Equipment Division, where net sales in the quarter rose by nearly
The Vegetation Management Division continued to show modest but steady improvements in its key markets. As expected, net sales in this division were down approximately
The Company's consolidated operating margin of
During the second quarter of 2025, we were pleased to welcome Ring-O-Matic to our Alamo Group family. Ring-O-Matic manufactures a full line of industrial vacuum excavation equipment, specializing in trailer-mounted units. The acquired business aligns well with our strategic focus on expanding market share and strengthening our current product portfolio and will be part of our Excavator and Vacuum Trucks group. The acquisition was funded with existing cash on hand.
Looking ahead, we remain optimistic regarding the Company's prospects for at least the next several quarters. Most market indicators during the second quarter were positive. Operationally, we expect that our Industrial Equipment Division will continue its strong performance through at least the end of the year and into 2026, while the Vegetation Management Division is poised to improve further, driven by stronger order flow supported by enhanced operational gains following the completion of our plant consolidations. While we remain mindful of ongoing global trade uncertainty, we firmly believe the Company is well positioned for continued improvement in operating performance. In addition, we expect to leverage our strong balance sheet to accelerate both organic and inorganic growth."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures Reconciliation
From time to time, Alamo Group Inc. may disclose certain "non-GAAP financial measures" in the course of its earnings releases, earnings conference calls, financial presentations and otherwise. For these purposes, "GAAP" refers to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) defines a "non-GAAP financial measure" as a numerical measure of historical or future financial performance, financial position, or cash flows that is subject to adjustments that effectively exclude or include amounts from the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by Alamo Group are provided as additional information to investors in order to provide them with greater transparency about, or an alternative method for assessing, our financial condition and operating results. These measures are not in accordance with, or a substitute for, GAAP and may be different from, or inconsistent with, non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Whenever we refer to a non-GAAP financial measure, we will also generally present the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, along with a reconciliation of the differences between the non-GAAP financial measure we reference and such comparable GAAP financial measure.
Attachment 1 discloses Operating Income, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted EPS, related to the impact of non-recurring items, of which are non-GAAP financial measures. Attachment 2 discloses a non-GAAP financial presentation related to the impact of currency translation on net sales by division. Attachment 3 shows the net change in our total debt net of cash and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") which is a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company considers this information useful to investors to allow better comparability of period-to-period operating performance. Attachment 4 reflects Division performance inclusive of non-GAAP financial measures such as backlog and earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA").
