Preformed Line Products reported 2025 net sales of $669.3 million, up 13% from 2024, driven mainly by higher energy and communications demand. Gross profit rose to $208.5 million, while operating income reached $55.1 million and net income attributable to shareholders was $35.3 million, slightly below 2024.
Energy products generated 71% of 2025 revenue, communications 22% and special industries 7%. International operations supplied 53% of net sales. Year-end backlog increased about 22% to $232.8 million, indicating solid future demand.
The company absorbed about $15.1 million in tariff costs and $9.0 million of PLP‑USA LIFO inventory charges, yet maintained strong liquidity with bank debt of $39.5 million and a bank debt‑to‑equity ratio of 8.3%. The quarterly dividend was raised 5% in the fourth quarter of 2025 to $0.21 per share.
Preformed Line Products reported solid growth for 2025, with net sales rising 13% to $669.3 million, driven by higher energy and communications demand across all segments. Fourth-quarter sales grew 4% to $173.1 million, supported by strength in PLP-USA, Asia-Pacific, and the JAP Telecom acquisition.
Full-year net income was $35.3 million, or $7.14 diluted EPS, slightly below 2024 due mainly to a pension termination charge, tariffs, and related LIFO inventory costs. On an adjusted basis, diluted EPS increased 16% to $8.70, reflecting better margins, selling price increases, higher net interest income, and a lower tax rate.
Backlog increased 22% to $232.8 million, signaling strong demand in core markets. The company also raised its quarterly dividend 5% to $0.21 per share and ended 2025 with total assets of $653.6 million and PLPC shareholders’ equity of $475.5 million, indicating a stronger balance sheet.
