STAMFORD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Crane Company ("Crane," NYSE: CR) today announced its financial results for the second quarter of 2025 and raised its full-year adjusted EPS outlook.

Max Mitchell, Crane's Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated: "My thanks and appreciation to the global Crane team for delivering another excellent quarter, with 24% adjusted EPS growth on 6.5% core sales growth resulting from our focus on exceeding our customers’ expectations with exceptional technology and service. Demand trends across our strategic growth platforms remained strong in the quarter, with 19.6% year-over-year core order growth and 18.2% year-over-year core backlog growth.

"The strength of our underlying businesses, our strategy, and our capabilities in both operational execution and commercial excellence, coupled with a strong balance sheet, positions us extremely well to continue driving above market growth organically and complemented by acquisitions.

"Additionally, during the second quarter, as previously announced, we signed an agreement to acquire PSI from Baker Hughes. This acquisition adds highly sophisticated sensor-based technologies to our portfolio for mission critical applications in harsh and hazardous environments across aerospace, nuclear, and process markets. We believe that PSI’s capabilities and market positions, paired with our operational and commercial capabilities, create a highly compelling value creation opportunity for our shareholders. We are incredibly excited about this pending acquisition that is expected to close at year-end, and integration planning is well underway and progressing smoothly. We also remain well positioned to execute our disciplined and process-driven capital deployment strategy with further balance sheet optionality and a robust funnel of acquisition opportunities.

"Overall, our teams continue to execute extremely well. While the macroeconomic backdrop remains unpredictable, our backlog, consistently strong execution, along with our performance year-to-date, gives us the confidence to raise our full-year adjusted earnings outlook to a range of $5.50-$5.80, up from our prior view of $5.30-$5.60."

During the second quarter of 2025, cash generated from operating activities from continuing operations was $105.0 million, capital expenditures were $16.1 million, and free cash flow (cash provided by operating activities less capital spending) was $88.9 million. Adjusted free cash flow from continuing operations (free cash flow excluding transaction related cash outflows) was $93.3 million. (Please see the attached non-GAAP Financial Measures tables.)

As of June 30, 2025, the Company's cash balance was $332.2 million with total debt of $47.2 million.

Rich Maue, Crane's Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, added: "We executed on our disciplined inorganic growth strategy in the quarter with the announced agreement to acquire PSI. This transaction meets all of Crane’s strategic and financial criteria, including a 10% ROIC by year five. We believe that the strong fit of PSI with our existing business, combined with our consistently differentiated execution, will drive attractive financial returns.

"Following the acquisition, we estimate that Crane will have a net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio of approximately 1x, leaving us with substantial capacity for further acquisitions. M&A activity levels remain robust despite heightened economic and trade related uncertainty. Opportunities are spread across both Aerospace & Electronics and Process Flow Technologies, and include high quality assets in a wide range of sizes. We continue to look forward to putting our balance sheet to work over the course of the next few quarters."

Crane Company reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). This press release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted operating profit, adjusted operating profit margin, adjusted tax rate, adjusted net income, adjusted EPS, adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow, that are not prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures are an addition, and not a substitute for or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to operating income, net income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP. We believe that these non-GAAP measures of financial results (including on a forward-looking or projected basis) provide useful supplemental information to investors about Crane Company. Our management uses certain forward looking non-GAAP measures to evaluate projected financial and operating results. However, there are a number of limitations related to the use of these non-GAAP measures and their nearest GAAP equivalents. For example, other companies may calculate non-GAAP measures differently or may use other measures to calculate their financial performance, and therefore our non-GAAP measures may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

Reconciliations of certain forward-looking and projected non-GAAP measures for Crane Company, including Adjusted EPS, and Adjusted segment margin to the closest corresponding GAAP measure are not available without unreasonable efforts due to the high variability, complexity and low visibility with respect to the charges excluded from these non-GAAP measures, which could have a potentially significant impact on our future GAAP results. For Crane Company, these forward looking and projected non-GAAP measures are calculated as follows:

• "Adjusted segment operating margin" is calculated as adjusted segment operating profit divided by segment sales. Adjusted segment operating profit is calculated as operating profit excluding corporate costs and before Special Items which include transaction related expenses and repositioning related charges. We believe that non-GAAP financial measures that exclude these items provide investors with an alternative metric that can assist in predicting future earnings and profitability that are complementary to GAAP metrics.

• "Adjusted Tax Rate" is calculated as tax excluding the impact from items which are outside of our core performance, some of which may or may not be non-recurring, and which we believe may complicate the presentation of the Company’s underlying earnings divided by "Adjusted Net Income".

• "Adjusted EPS" is calculated as adjusted net income divided by diluted shares. Adjusted net income is calculated as net income adjusted for Special Items which include transaction related expenses such as professional fees, and incremental costs related to acquisitions; repositioning related charges; and, the impact of pension non-service costs. We believe that non-GAAP financial measures adjusted for these items provide investors with an alternative metric that can assist in predicting future earnings and profitability that are complementary to GAAP metrics.

We believe that each of the following non-GAAP measures provides useful information to investors regarding the Company’s financial conditions and operations:

• "Adjusted Operating Profit" and "Adjusted Operating Margin" add back to Operating Profit items which are outside of our core performance, some of which may or may not be non-recurring, and which we believe may complicate the interpretation of the Company’s underlying earnings and operational performance. These items include income and expense such as: transaction related expenses and repositioning related (gains) charges. These items are not incurred in all periods, the size of these items is difficult to predict, and none of these items are indicative of the operations of the underlying businesses. We believe that non-GAAP financial measures that exclude these items provide investors with an alternative metric that can assist in predicting future earnings and profitability that are complementary to GAAP metrics.

• "Adjusted Net Income" and "Adjusted EPS" exclude items which are outside of our core performance, some of which may or may not be non-recurring, and which we believe may complicate the presentation of the Company’s underlying earnings and operational performance. These measures include income and expense items that impacted Operating Profit such as: transaction related expenses and repositioning related (gains) charges. Additionally, these non-GAAP financial measures exclude income and expense items that impacted Net Income and Earnings per Diluted Share such as the impact of pension non-service costs. These items are not incurred in all periods, the size of these items is difficult to predict, and none of these items are indicative of the operations of the underlying businesses. We believe that non-GAAP financial measures that exclude these items provide investors with an alternative metric that can assist in predicting future earnings and profitability that are complementary to GAAP metrics.

• "Adjusted EBITDA" adds back to net income: net interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, miscellaneous (income) expense, net, and items outside of our core performance such as transaction related expenses. "Adjusted EBITDA Margin" is calculated as adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales. We believe that adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin provide investors with an alternative metric that may be a meaningful indicator of our performance and provides useful information to investors regarding our financial conditions and results of operations that is complementary to GAAP metrics.

• “Free Cash Flow” and “Adjusted Free Cash Flow from continuing operations” provide supplemental information to assist management and investors in analyzing the Company’s ability to generate liquidity from its operating activities. The measure of free cash flow does not take into consideration certain other non-discretionary cash requirements such as, for example, mandatory principal payments on the Company’s long-term debt. Free Cash Flow is calculated as cash provided by operating activities less capital spending. Adjusted Free Cash Flow from continuing operations is calculated as Free Cash Flow adjusted for certain cash items which we believe may complicate the interpretation of the Company’s underlying free cash flow performance such as certain transaction related cash flow items related to acquisitions. These items are not incurred in all periods, the size of these items is difficult to predict, and none of these items are indicative of the operations of the underlying businesses. We believe that non-GAAP financial measures that exclude these items provide investors with an alternative metric that can assist in predicting future cash flows that are complementary to GAAP metrics.
