Key Terms

ebit, ebit margin, adjusted ebit, eps, +3 more

7 terms

ebit financial

"Fourth quarter EBIT was $32 million, down $12 million from fourth quarter 2024 EBIT"

EBIT (Earnings Before Interest and Taxes) measures a company's profit from normal business operations after paying direct running costs but before subtracting interest on debt and income taxes. Think of it as how well a store does at selling its goods once everyday expenses are covered, ignoring loan payments and tax bills. Investors use EBIT to compare operational performance across companies without the distortion of different financing or tax situations.

ebit margin financial

"EBIT margin was 3.4%, down from 4.1% in the fourth quarter of 2024"

EBIT margin is the percentage of a company's revenue that remains as profit from core operations after removing day-to-day costs but before paying interest and taxes — in other words, how much of each dollar of sales becomes operating profit. Investors treat it like a fuel-efficiency rating: a higher EBIT margin means the business keeps more from sales, making it easier to compare operational strength across companies and to see how well a company can absorb rising costs or fund growth regardless of financing or tax decisions.

adjusted ebit financial

"Adjusted1 EBIT was $48 million, an $8 million decrease from fourth quarter 2024 adjusted1 EBIT."

Adjusted EBIT is a company’s operating profit before interest and taxes, but cleaned up by removing one-time or unusual items that can obscure ongoing performance. Investors use it like a tidied-up report card — it aims to show the underlying profitability of the business by excluding irregular gains, losses, or costs so comparisons across periods or companies are clearer and more meaningful for valuing operational strength.

eps financial

"Fourth quarter EPS was $.18, an $.08 increase versus fourth quarter 2024 EPS of $.10."

Earnings per share (EPS) measures how much profit a company makes for each outstanding share of its stock by dividing the company’s profit after expenses by the number of shares. It matters to investors because it shows how much of the company’s “pie” each share represents—higher EPS usually signals greater profitability per share, helps compare companies of different sizes, and influences stock valuations and investor decisions.

adjusted eps financial

"Fourth quarter adjusted1 EPS was $.22, up $.01 versus fourth quarter 2024 adjusted1 EPS"

Adjusted earnings per share (adjusted eps) is a measure of a company's profit per share that has been modified to exclude certain one-time or unusual items, such as costs from restructuring or asset sales. It provides a clearer picture of the company’s core performance by removing events that may distort the usual earnings. Investors use adjusted eps to better understand a company's ongoing profitability and compare it more accurately over time.

adjusted ebitda financial

"Net Debt1 was 2.4x trailing 12-month adjusted EBITDA1 as of year end"

Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.

net debt leverage ratio financial

"lowering our net debt leverage ratio to 2.4x. This was a tremendous step"

Net debt leverage ratio measures how many years of a company’s core earnings would be needed to pay off its debt after accounting for cash on hand, calculated by dividing net debt (total debt minus cash) by annual operating earnings. Investors use it like a household debt-to-income check: a lower number means the company is in a stronger position to handle obligations and take risks, while a higher number signals greater financial strain and vulnerability to shocks.

CARTHAGE, Mo., Feb. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ --

• 4Q sales of $939 million, an 11% decrease vs 4Q24
• 4Q EPS of $.18, 4Q adjusted¹ EPS of $.22, a $.01 increase vs adjusted¹ 4Q24 EPS
• 2025 sales of $4.05 billion, a 7% decrease vs 2024

President and CEO Karl Glassman commented, "Throughout 2025, our teams executed our strategic priorities, including strengthening our balance sheet, improving operational efficiency, and positioning the company for long-term growth. We made significant progress on our deleveraging efforts, reducing our debt and lowering our net debt leverage ratio to 2.4x. This was a tremendous step toward achieving our long-term target of 2.0x, making Leggett more agile and enabling us to shift our focus to pursuing opportunities for growth and returning capital to shareholders.

"We are pleased the restructuring plan we launched in early 2024 was substantially completed by the end of 2025, resulting in greater EBIT benefit with lower costs than originally expected. We are confident the significant improvements made over the past two years are sustainable, will support improved profitability and cash flow, and position us to benefit from the future recovery in residential market demand."

FOURTH QUARTER RESULTS
Fourth quarter sales were $939 million, an 11%² decrease versus fourth quarter last year

• Divestitures decreased sales 5%
• Organic sales³ were down 6%
  • Volume was down 9%, primarily from sales weakness at a certain customer and retailer merchandising changes in Adjustable Bed and Specialty Foam, continued soft demand in residential end markets, customers' supply chain disruptions in Automotive, and lower demand in Hydraulic Cylinders. These declines were partially offset by growth in Textiles, Work Furniture, and higher trade wire and rod sales.
  • Raw material-related selling price increases and currency benefit increased sales 3%

Fourth quarter EBIT was $32 million, down $12 million from fourth quarter 2024 EBIT of $44 million. Adjusted¹ EBIT was $48 million, an $8 million decrease from fourth quarter 2024 adjusted¹ EBIT.

• Adjusted¹ EBIT decreased primarily from lower volume and earnings associated with the divested Aerospace business, partially offset by metal margin expansion and restructuring benefit

EBIT margin was 3.4%, down from 4.1% in the fourth quarter of 2024, and adjusted¹ EBIT margin was 5.1%, down from 5.3%.

Fourth quarter EPS was $.18, an $.08 increase versus fourth quarter 2024 EPS of $.10. Fourth quarter adjusted¹ EPS was $.22, up $.01 versus fourth quarter 2024 adjusted¹ EPS of $.21.
