Insights

Equity Analyst

Record Solutions growth, raised 2025 guidance, and a strategic acquisition signal positive operational momentum.

Consolidated Net sales rose to $162.1 million, a 25.3% increase year-over-year, driven by **Work Truck Solutions** which posted record third-quarter Net Sales of $94.0 million (up 36.0%) and improved Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter increased to $20.1 million and management raised full-year guidance: Net Sales to $635 million–$660 million, Adjusted EBITDA to $87 million–$102 million, and Adjusted EPS to $1.85–$2.25. The announced acquisition of Venco Venturo adds a complementary product line of truck-mounted cranes and dump hoists, aligning with stated portfolio diversification goals.

Risks and dependencies include the prior-year one-time sale-leaseback gain (~$42.3 million) that inflated Q3 2024 GAAP comparisons and explains the lower reported Net Income and EPS on a GAAP basis this quarter. Key operational levers are Solutions throughput, timing of pre-season shipments (noted shift to a ~60:40 split), inventory and chassis levels, and cash flow (nine-month Free Cash Flow remained negative at $(29.3) million). Watch leverage (reported 1.9X), announced acquisition integration, and announced assumption about average Q4 snowfall when assessing whether raised guidance is sustainable over the next 1–3 quarters.

MILWAUKEE, Nov. 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Douglas Dynamics, Inc. (NYSE: PLOW), North America’s premier manufacturer and upfitter of work truck attachments and equipment, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025.

Mark Van Genderen, President, and CEO, noted, “Our strong performance this quarter reinforces the resilience of our business. Within our Solutions segment, the excellent performance from our team, combined with the municipal and commercial demand, delivered record third-quarter results. With our overall backlog still well above historical norms, we maintain a positive full-year outlook for our Solutions segment. In our Attachments segment, both our quarterly and year-to-date results show meaningful improvement over last year. In addition, pre-season orders ended in line with our forecast. We believe our operations remain well aligned with current market conditions, positioning us effectively as we head into winter.”

Consolidated Third Quarter 2025 Results

$ in millions (except Margins & EPS)	Q3 2025	Q3 2024
Net Sales	$162.1	$129.4
Gross Profit Margin	23.5%	23.9%
Income from Operations	$14.1	$45.9
Net Income	$8.0	$32.3

Adjusted EBITDA Margin	12.4%	11.8%
Adjusted Net Income	$9.5	$5.9
Adjusted Diluted EPS	$0.40	$0.24

• Net sales were $162.1 million, a 25.3% increase compared to the same period last year, primarily driven by higher demand partnered with improved throughput at Work Truck Solutions, and the timing of pre-season shipments at Work Truck Attachments.
• Selling, general and administrative expenses were $22.5 million. This compares to $25.7 million in the third quarter of 2024, which included $5.2 million of costs associated with the sale leaseback transaction. The change this quarter, excluding the sale leaseback transaction costs, was driven by higher stock and incentive-based compensation on higher earnings, somewhat offset by lower CEO transition costs.
• Net income for the third quarter of 2025 was $8.0 million. This compares to $32.3 million in the same period of the previous year, which included the gain on the sale-leaseback transaction.  
• Adjusted net income for the third quarter increased 61.6% to $9.5 million, when compared to $5.9 million for the third quarter of 2024.
• Earnings per diluted share and Adjusted earnings per diluted share were $0.33 and $0.40, respectively.
• Interest expense decreased 15.8% to $3.8 million for the third quarter 2025, when compared to the same period of 2024, due to lower interest on the term loan and revolver, partially offset by higher floor plan interest.
• Adjusted EBITDA increased 31% to $20.1 million for the third quarter 2025, due to improved volumes, throughput, and efficiencies at Solutions and timing of preseason shipments at Attachments.

• Work Truck Solutions produced record third quarter Net Sales and Adjusted EBITDA based on strong demand, higher throughput volumes, and solid performance across all operations.
• Net Sales increased 36.0% to $94.0 million, including approximately $8.0 million of incremental chassis sales compared to same quarter last year.
• Adjusted EBITDA increased 33.8% to $9.6 million due to the higher volumes, as well as improved efficiencies.
  

“Looking to the future, we are encouraged by our initial progress as we implement our Optimize, Expand, and Activate strategic pillars introduced earlier this year.” continued Van Genderen. “This includes the acquisition of Venco Venturo, which we announced earlier today. Adding this highly respected provider of truck mounted cranes and dump hoists is a meaningful first step as we look to acquire complex attachments to diversify and balance our portfolio. We now have substantial projects underway across all three pillars and remain confident in our ability to execute effectively and deliver sustained impact in the years to come."

Dividend & Liquidity

• On a year-to-date basis, Net cash used in operating activities decreased $12.0 million, or 36.2%, in 2025 compared to 2024. The improvement relates to improved earnings partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable.  
• Free cash flow for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 improved 21.4% to ($29.3) million compared to ($37.3) million in the corresponding period in 2024.
• Total inventory was $138.7 million compared to $145.4 million in the same quarter last year. The Attachments segment significantly reduced its inventory over the past year, which was partially offset by a planned increase in chassis in the Solutions segment.
• As expected, Capital Expenditures increased to $8.1 million for the quarter, and the company continues to expect total 2025 Capital Expenditures to be within the traditional range of 2% to 3% of Net Sales.
• The leverage ratio at the end of the quarter was 1.9X, well within our stated goal range of 1.5X to 3.0X.
• A quarterly cash dividend of $0.295 per share of the Company's common stock was paid on September 30, 2025, to stockholders of record on September 16, 2025.

2025 Outlook

Sarah Lauber, Executive Vice President, and CFO explained, “Our performance in the first nine months of 2025 has exceeded expectations, enabling us to raise our guidance ranges once again. Work Truck Solutions continues to deliver exceptional results, remaining on track to deliver improved full-year performance for the fourth consecutive year. At Work Truck Attachments, pre-season orders and dealer inventory levels are generally in line with our projections, and the team is well-prepared for the upcoming winter season.”

Updated 2025 Outlook

• Net Sales are now expected to be between $635 million and $660 million, an increase when compared to the previous range of $630 million to $660 million.
• Adjusted EBITDA is now predicted to range from $87 million to $102 million, an increase when compared to the previous range of $82 million to $97 million.
• Adjusted Earnings Per Share are expected to be in the range of $1.85 per share to $2.25 per share, an increase when compared to the previous range of $1.65 per share to $2.15 per share.

• The effective tax rate is still expected to be approximately 24% to 25%.

The 2025 outlook assumes relatively stable economic and supply chain conditions, and that core markets will experience average snowfall in the fourth quarter of 2025.

With respect to the Company’s 2025 guidance, the Company is not able to provide a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP because it does not provide specific guidance for the various extraordinary, nonrecurring, or unusual charges and other certain items. These items have not yet occurred, are out of the Company’s control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted. As a result, reconciliation of the non-GAAP guidance measures to GAAP is not available without unreasonable effort and the Company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains financial information calculated other than in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). The non-GAAP measures used in this press release are Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Share, and Free Cash Flow. The Company believes that these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors and other external users of its consolidated financial statements in evaluating the Company’s operating performance as compared to that of other companies. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the nearest comparable GAAP measures can be found immediately following the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows included in this press release.

Adjusted EBITDA represents net income before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, as further adjusted for certain charges consisting of unrelated legal and consulting fees, stock-based compensation, severance, restructuring charges, CEO transition costs, debt modification expense, loss on extinguishment of debt, write downs of property, plant and equipment, insurance proceeds, gain on sale leaseback transaction and related transaction costs, and impairment charges. The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA in evaluating the Company’s operating performance because it provides the Company and its investors with additional tools to compare its operating performance on a consistent basis by removing the impact of certain items that management believes do not directly reflect the Company’s core operations. The Company’s management also uses Adjusted EBITDA for planning purposes, including the preparation of its annual operating budget and financial projections, and to evaluate the Company’s ability to make certain payments, including dividends, in compliance with its senior credit facilities, which is determined based on a calculation of “Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA” that is substantially similar to Adjusted EBITDA.

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Share (calculated on a diluted basis) represents net income and earnings per share (as defined by GAAP), excluding the impact of stock based compensation, severance, restructuring charges, CEO transition costs, debt modification expense, loss on extinguishment of debt, write downs of property, plant and equipment, insurance proceeds, gain on sale leaseback transaction and related transaction costs, impairment charges, certain charges related to unrelated legal fees and consulting fees, and adjustments on derivatives not classified as hedges, net of their income tax impact. Adjustments on derivatives not classified as hedges are non-cash and are related to overall financial market conditions; therefore, management believes such costs are unrelated to our business and are not representative of our results. Management believes that Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Share are useful in assessing the Company’s financial performance by eliminating expenses and income that are not reflective of the underlying business performance.

Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP financial measure that we define as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less net cash used in investing activities. Free Cash Flow should be evaluated in addition to, and not considered a substitute for, other financial measures such as Net Income and Net Cash Provided By (Used in) Operating Activities. We believe that free cash flow represents our ability to generate additional cash flow from our business operations.
