Insights
Hubbell delivered mixed Q1 results with margin improvement offsetting revenue pressure; inflation and tariff headwinds being addressed while guidance maintained.
Hubbell's Q1 earnings present a mixed financial picture with some concerning elements balanced by positive signals. The 2% top-line contraction reflects challenges across segments, though the organic decline was just 0.6%, indicating minimal underlying demand weakness. More concerning is the substantial drop in free cash flow to $11 million from $52 million in the year-ago period, representing a 79% year-over-year decline.
Despite these challenges, Hubbell maintained its full-year 2025 adjusted EPS guidance of $17.35-$17.85, suggesting management expects improvement in coming quarters. This confidence appears rooted in strong pricing actions and productivity initiatives designed to counter the raw material inflation and tariff-related cost increases that created headwinds in Q1.
The Electrical Solutions segment delivered impressive performance with 5% organic growth and operating margin expansion of 140 basis points to 15.5% (70 basis points to 16.5% on an adjusted basis). This improvement stemmed from volume growth in the datacenter market and successful execution of the segment unification strategy.
The Utility Solutions segment faced greater challenges with a 4% organic sales decline and a 80 basis-point reduction in adjusted operating margin to 21.0%. While Grid Infrastructure showed modest 1% growth, the 15% decline in Grid Automation significantly impacted results, though this was attributed to challenging year-ago comparisons rather than fundamental market weakness.
The maintained full-year outlook, coupled with management's commentary about strong order activity across utility markets, suggests this quarter represents a temporary slowdown rather than the beginning of a negative trend.
Hubbell's Q1 reveals resilience in grid infrastructure despite automation slowdown; long-term electrification and grid modernization trends remain intact.
The divergent performance within Hubbell's Utility Solutions segment reveals important dynamics affecting the power infrastructure market. While overall segment revenue declined 4% organically, the Grid Infrastructure business maintained positive momentum with 1% growth, indicating ongoing investment in critical transmission and distribution infrastructure.
The 15% decline in Grid Automation appears to be more a function of challenging prior-year comparisons than deteriorating market fundamentals. Management's comments about "healthy end customer activity" and strong orders across "each major Grid Infrastructure end market" suggest the underlying demand for grid modernization solutions remains robust.
Particularly noteworthy is the company's reference to utility customers investing to "interconnect new sources of load and generation." This directly aligns with the broader electrification trend driving demand for expanded grid capacity to support electric vehicles, data centers, and distributed energy resources.
The sequential improvement in distribution markets is an encouraging signal, as this segment had experienced weakness in previous quarters. Distribution infrastructure represents the critical "last mile" of the grid that must be upgraded to support increased electrification.
Despite short-term challenges from inflation and tariffs, Hubbell's positioning at the intersection of grid modernization and electrification provides structural tailwinds that should support growth beyond current headwinds. The company's ability to deliver margin improvement in the face of these pressures demonstrates operational effectiveness.
The datacenter strength highlighted in the Electrical Solutions segment further reinforces the interconnection between digital infrastructure growth and power system demands - as hyperscale facilities expand, they drive significant new electrical infrastructure requirements both within facilities and across the broader grid.

NON-GAAP DEFINITIONS
References to "adjusted" operating measures exclude the impact of certain costs, gains or losses. Management believes these adjusted operating measures provide useful information regarding our underlying performance from period to period and an understanding of our results of operations without regard to items we do not consider a component of our core operating performance. Adjusted operating measures are non-GAAP measures, and include adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted net income attributed to Hubbell Incorporated, adjusted net income available to common shareholders, adjusted earnings per diluted share, and Adjusted EBITDA. These non-GAAP measures exclude, where applicable:
- Amortization of all intangible assets associated with our business acquisitions, including inventory step-up amortization associated with those acquisitions. The intangible assets associated with our business acquisitions arise from the allocation of the purchase price using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 805, “Business Combinations.” These assets consist primarily of customer relationships, developed technology, trademarks and tradenames, and patents, as reported in Note 7—Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, under the heading “Total Definite-Lived Intangibles,” within the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements set forth in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2024. The Company excludes these non-cash expenses because we believe it (i) enhances management’s and investors’ ability to analyze underlying business performance, (ii) facilitates comparisons of our financial results over multiple periods, and (iii) provides more relevant comparisons of our results with the results of other companies as the amortization expense associated with these assets may fluctuate significantly from period to period based on the timing, size, nature, and number of acquisitions. Although we exclude amortization of these acquired intangible assets and inventory step-up from our non-GAAP results, we believe that it is important for investors to understand that revenue generated, in part, from such intangibles is included within revenue in determining adjusted net income attributable to Hubbell Incorporated.
- Transaction, integration, and separation costs associated with our business acquisitions and divestitures. The effects that acquisitions and divestitures may have on our results fluctuate significantly based on the timing, size, and number of transactions, and therefore results in significant volatility in the costs to complete transactions and integrate or separate the businesses. The size of acquisition and divestiture actions taken by the Company in the fourth quarter of 2023 has resulted in a significant increase in these costs, and as a result we believe excluding costs, relating to these fourth quarter transactions provides useful and more comparative information to investors to better assess our operating performance.
- Gains or losses from the disposition of a business. The Company excludes these gains or losses because we believe it enhances management's and investors' ability to analyze underlying business performance and facilitates comparisons of our financial results over multiple periods. In the first quarter of 2024 the Company recognized a
$5.3 million pre-tax loss on the disposition of the residential lighting business. - The income tax effect directly related to the disposition of the residential lighting business. In the first quarter of 2024 the Company recognized
$6.8 million of income tax expense on the sale of the residential lighting business, primarily driven by differences between book and tax basis in goodwill. - Income tax effects of the above adjustments, which are calculated using the statutory tax rate, taking into consideration the nature of the item and the relevant taxing jurisdiction, unless otherwise noted.
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure that excludes the items noted above and also excludes the Other income (expense), net, Interest expense, net, and Provision for income taxes captions of the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income, as well as depreciation and amortization expense.
Net debt (defined as total debt less cash and investments) to total capital is a non-GAAP measure that we believe is a useful measure for evaluating the Company's financial leverage and the ability to meet its funding needs.
Free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure that we believe provides useful information regarding the Company's ability to generate cash without reliance on external financing. In addition, management uses free cash flow to evaluate the resources available for investments in the business, strategic acquisitions and further strengthening the balance sheet.
In connection with our restructuring and related actions, we have incurred restructuring costs as defined by U.S. GAAP, which are primarily severance and employee benefits, asset impairments, accelerated depreciation, as well as facility closure, contract termination and certain pension costs that are directly related to restructuring actions. We also incur restructuring-related costs, which are costs associated with our business transformation initiatives, including the consolidation of back-office functions and streamlining our processes, and certain other costs and gains associated with restructuring actions. We refer to these costs on a combined basis as "restructuring and related costs", which is a non-GAAP measure.
Organic net sales, a non-GAAP measure, represents net sales according to U.S. GAAP, less net sales from acquisitions and divestitures during the first twelve months of ownership or divestiture, respectively, less the effect of fluctuations in net sales from foreign currency exchange. The period-over-period effect of fluctuations in net sales from foreign currency exchange is calculated as the difference between local currency net sales of the prior period translated at the current period exchange rate as compared to the same local currency net sales translated at the prior period exchange rate. We believe this measure provides management and investors with a more complete understanding of underlying operating results and trends of established, ongoing operations by excluding the effect of acquisitions, dispositions and foreign currency, as these activities can obscure underlying trends. When comparing net sales growth between periods excluding the effects of acquisitions, business dispositions and currency exchange rates, those effects are different when comparing results for different periods. For example, because net sales from acquisitions are considered inorganic from the date we complete an acquisition through the end of the first year following the acquisition, net sales from such acquisition are reflected as organic net sales thereafter.
There are limitations to the use of non-GAAP measures. Non-GAAP measures do not present complete financial results. We compensate for this limitation by providing a reconciliation between our non-GAAP financial measures and the respective most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare these financial measures with other companies’ non-GAAP financial measures having the same or similar names. These financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, as substitutes for, or alternative measures of, reported GAAP financial results, and should be viewed in conjunction with the most comparable GAAP financial measures and the provided reconciliations thereto. We believe, however, that these non-GAAP financial measures, when viewed together with our GAAP results and related reconciliations, provide a more complete understanding of our business. We strongly encourage investors to review our consolidated financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety and not rely on any single financial measure.
Reconciliations of each of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure can be found in the tables below. When we provide our expectations for organic net sales, adjusted effective tax rate, adjusted diluted EPS and free cash flow on a forward-looking basis, a reconciliation of the differences between the non-GAAP expectations and the corresponding GAAP measures (expected net sales, effective tax rate, diluted EPS and net cash flows provided by operating activities) generally is not available without unreasonable effort due to potentially high variability, complexity and low visibility as to the items that would be excluded from the GAAP measure in the relevant future period, such as unusual gains and losses, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, the impact and timing of potential acquisitions and divestitures, certain financing costs, and other structural changes or their probable significance. The variability of the excluded items may have a significant, and potentially unpredictable, impact on our future GAAP results.
