Insights

Equity research analyst

Orders and backlog strengthened, margins stable, while earnings and cash flow remain modest.

Manitowoc delivered Q4 2025 net sales of $677.1 million, up 13.6%, with adjusted EBITDA of $39.6 million. Orders surged to $803.4 million, up 55.8%, building backlog to $793.5 million, which supports future revenue visibility.

Full-year 2025 net sales grew 2.9% to $2,240.9 million, while adjusted net income was $11.6 million and adjusted EBITDA $121.7 million. Free cash flow was negative $15.3 million for the year despite strong fourth-quarter cash generation, reflecting working capital movements and capital expenditures.

MILWAUKEE, Wis. - The Manitowoc Company, Inc. (NYSE: MTW) (the “Company” or “Manitowoc”) today reported fourth-quarter net income of $7.0 million, or $0.19 per diluted share. Fourth-quarter adjusted net income(1) was $9.5 million or $0.26 per diluted share.

Orders in the fourth quarter were $803.4 million, a 55.8% increase from the prior year, resulting in backlog of $793.5 million.

Net sales in the fourth quarter were $677.1 million, an increase of 13.6% from the prior year. Non-new machine sales were $190.9 million, an increase of 14.0% year-over-year. Adjusted EBITDA(1) was $39.6 million, an increase of 13.5% from the prior year.

Full-year 2025 net sales increased 2.9% year-over-year to $2,240.9 million. Non-new machine sales were $690.5 million, an increase of 9.8% year-over-year. Adjusted net income(1) for the year was $11.6 million or $0.32 per diluted share, a decrease of $3.1 million or $0.09 per diluted share from the prior year.

“I am really proud of the team’s strong finish to a challenging year. We ended the fourth quarter with orders in excess of $800 million, $40 million in adjusted EBITDA, and free cash flow of $78 million. For the year, our adjusted EBITDA was $122 million, in line with our expectations. In addition, we continued to execute our CRANES+50 strategy, ending the year with over $690 million in non-new machine sales,” said Aaron H. Ravenscroft, President and Chief Executive Officer of The Manitowoc Company, Inc.

Ravenscroft added, “Looking to 2026, while we expect more of the same conditions in the U.S. market, our optimism in Europe continues to grow. We started 2026 with $794 million in backlog, which is up 22% versus a year ago. In addition, we implemented a restructuring plan in January to streamline our organization, which we expect to save us roughly $10 million. We continue to execute our CRANES+50 strategy and are planning to add new locations in Chile, Mexico, France, and Portugal. I am confident that our ongoing lean transformation and continued focus on our CRANES+50 strategy further strengthen Manitowoc’s ability to navigate the crane cycle.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted net income, Adjusted DEPS, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted operating income, Adjusted ROIC, and free cash flows are financial measures that are not in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Manitowoc believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide important supplemental information to both management and investors regarding financial and business trends used in assessing its results of operations. Manitowoc believes excluding specified items provides a more meaningful comparison to the corresponding reporting periods and internal budgets and forecasts, assists investors in performing analysis that is consistent with financial models developed by investors and research analysts, provides management with a more relevant measure of operating performance, and is more useful in assessing management performance.

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted DEPS

The Company defines adjusted net income as net income plus the addback or subtraction of restructuring and other non-recurring items. Adjusted DEPS is defined as adjusted net income divided by diluted weighted average shares outstanding. Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding are adjusted for the effect of dilutive stock awards when there is net income on an adjusted basis, as applicable. The reconciliation of net income and diluted net income per share to adjusted net income and Adjusted DEPS for the three months and year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 are summarized as follows. All dollar amounts are in millions, except per share data and share amounts.

Adjusted ROIC

The Company defines Adjusted ROIC as adjusted net operating profit after tax (“Adjusted NOPAT”) for the trailing twelve-months ended divided by the five-quarter average of invested capital. Adjusted NOPAT is calculated for each quarter by taking operating income plus the addback of amortization of intangible assets and the addback or subtraction of restructuring expenses, other non-recurring items - net, and provision for income taxes, which is determined using a 15% tax rate. Invested capital is defined as net total assets less cash and cash equivalents and income tax assets - net plus short-term and long-term debt. Income taxes assets - net are defined as net income tax payables/receivables, net deferred tax assets/liabilities, and uncertain tax positions.
