RALEIGH, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Ralliant Corporation (“Ralliant” or the “Company”) (NYSE: RAL) today announced financial results for the third quarter of 2025.

For the third quarter, revenue of $529 million was flat year-over-year and increased 5% sequentially.

Net earnings were $40 million, and adjusted net earnings were $69 million, resulting in EPS of $0.35 and adjusted EPS of $0.60.

Net earnings margin was 7.5%, a 960-basis point decline year-over-year. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 20.4%, a 610-basis point decline year-over-year.

“In our first full quarter as an independent public company, our team demonstrated exceptional focus and operating discipline, enabling us to deliver results at or above the high end of our guidance range across every metric,” said Tami Newcombe, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We successfully translated ambition into performance and value creation as we executed our three strategic pillars: RBS Everywhere, Stronghold Positions, and Winning Growth Vectors.”

Ms. Newcombe continued, “Both of our segments delivered sequential revenue growth. Within our Sensors & Safety Systems segment, we captured rising demand in Defense, where we are increasing productivity to meet the growing needs of the U.S. and allies as they invest with increased urgency to modernize their armed forces and expand their deterrent capabilities. Demand also remains high in Utilities, where our solutions are supporting power grid investments. Test & Measurement segment revenue increased sequentially in line with typical seasonality, and we launched two breakthrough products that are earning excellent customer feedback. We also improved working capital and generated significant cash flow, reinforcing our ability to invest organically and return capital to shareholders.”

Third Quarter 2025 Segment Highlights

(All results compared with the third quarter of 2024 unless otherwise noted.)

Sensors & Safety Systems (S&SS)

Electric grid monitoring solutions, defense and space technologies, industrial sensors for demanding environments

• Revenue of $326 million, up 11%, up 5% sequentially

• Operating profit of $90 million and operating profit margin of 27.6%, up 10% and down 15 basis points, respectively

• Adjusted EBITDA of $94 million and adjusted EBITDA margin of 28.7%, up 9% and down 25 basis points, respectively

Robust demand in Utilities and Defense & Space led to double-digit revenue growth as customers continue to invest in power grid modernization and defense programs. Growth also accelerated in select areas of the Industrial Manufacturing end market.

Test & Measurement (T&M)

Precision instruments and essential software and services for advanced electronics

• Revenue of $203 million, down 14%, up 6% sequentially

• Operating loss of $2 million and operating margin of (0.8)%, down 105% and down 1,320 basis points, respectively

• Adjusted EBITDA of $28 million and adjusted EBITDA margin of 13.8%, down 49% and 960 basis points, respectively

Sequential revenue growth was driven by a typical seasonal step up, most pronounced in the Communications and Semiconductor end markets. Higher revenue supported sequential improvements of 660 basis points in operating margin and 480 basis points in adjusted EBITDA margin.

The year-over-year revenue decline was primarily driven by continued customer cautiousness in capital investments and lapping large projects in the prior year. Operating margin and adjusted EBITDA margin declines were primarily due to operating deleverage on lower volume and higher post-spin employee costs.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

On a reported basis, the Company generated $139 million of cash flow from operating activities and invested $12 million in capital expenditures, resulting in free cash flow of $127 million, compared with cash flow from operating activities of $138 million and free cash flow of $132 million in the third quarter of 2024.

At the end of the third quarter, the Company had $264 million of cash and equivalents and $1.15 billion of long-term debt. The Company expects to pay approximately $35 million to Fortive or taxing authorities under spin-related agreements in the fourth quarter.

On October 30, 2025, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per share of common stock. The fourth quarter 2025 dividend is payable on December 23, 2025, to stockholders of record as of the close of business on December 8, 2025. As a reminder, on June 28, 2025, the Board of Directors also authorized $200 million of share repurchases.

The dividend declaration and share repurchase authorization demonstrate the Company’s capacity and commitment to return capital to stockholders. The Company is focused on driving total shareholder returns through its capital allocation priorities outlined at its June 10, 2025, Investor Day. These include organic reinvestment, return of capital, and selective tuck-in acquisitions.

OUTLOOK¹

For the fourth quarter of 2025, Ralliant is providing the following outlook:

• Revenue: $535 to $550 million

• Adjusted EBITDA margin: 20% to 21%

• Adjusted EPS: $0.62 to $0.68

Assumptions

• Revenue continues to gradually improve with consistent shipment delivery in S&SS and in line with typical seasonality in T&M

• Adj. EBITDA margin in line with third quarter 2025

• Tariff assumptions are based on policy announcements as of November 3rd, 2025; expect to continue to fully offset cost of known tariffs with slight continued gross margin percentage headwind

• Interest expense of $16 to $18 million

• Adjusted effective tax rate of 17% to 19%

• Weighted average diluted shares outstanding of approximately 113.5 to 114 million

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

In addition to the financial measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP), this earnings release also references “adjusted net earnings,” “adjusted EPS,” “adjusted EBITDA” (including segment adjusted EBITDA), “adjusted EBITDA margin” (including segment adjusted EBITDA margin), “free cash flow,” and “adjusted effective tax rate,” which are non-GAAP financial measures. The reasons why we believe these measures, when used in conjunction with the most directly GAAP financial measures, provide useful information to investors, how management uses such non-GAAP financial measures, reconciliations of certain of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures and other information relating to these measures are included in “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Information” below. Such non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the GAAP financial measures but should instead be read in conjunction with the GAAP financial measures. The non-GAAP financial measures used by Ralliant in this earnings release may be different from similarly-titled non-GAAP measures used by other companies.

RALLIANT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

AND OTHER INFORMATION

This earnings release includes a reconciliation of certain non-GAAP financial measures with the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP below. Management believes that each of the non-GAAP financial measures described below provide useful information to investors by reflecting additional ways of viewing aspects of the operations of Ralliant Corporation (“Ralliant”, the “Company”, “its”, or “their”), that when reconciled to the corresponding most directly comparable GAAP measure, help its investors to understand the long-term profitability trends of its business, and facilitate comparisons of its operational performance and profitability to prior and future periods and to its peers.

These non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a replacement for or superior to, the comparable GAAP measures, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Ralliant does not provide a reconciliation for non-GAAP estimates for adjusted diluted net earnings per share (“EPS”), adjusted earnings before income taxes, interest, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”) margin (including segment adjusted EBITDA margin), adjusted effective tax rate, or free cash flow conversion on a forward-looking basis because the information necessary to calculate a meaningful or accurate estimation of reconciling items is not available without unreasonable effort. For example, such reconciling items include the impact of foreign currency exchange gains or losses, gains or losses that are unusual or nonrecurring in nature, as well as discrete taxable events. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors and may have a substantial and unpredictable impact on the Company’s GAAP results.

Adjusted net earnings, adjusted diluted EPS, adjusted EBITDA (including segment adjusted EBITDA), and adjusted EBITDA margin (including segment adjusted EBITDA margin)

Ralliant discloses the non-GAAP measures of historical adjusted net earnings, historical adjusted diluted EPS, historical adjusted EBITDA (including historical segment adjusted EBITDA), and historical adjusted EBITDA margin (including historical segment adjusted EBITDA margin) which to the extent applicable, makes the following adjustments to the most comparable GAAP measures:

• Excluding on a pretax basis amortization of acquisition related intangible assets;

• Excluding on a pretax basis acquisition and divestiture related adjustments and costs;

• Excluding on a pretax basis the costs incurred pursuant to discrete restructuring plans that are fundamentally different from ongoing productivity improvements in terms of the size, strategic nature, planning requirements and the inconsistent frequency of such plans as well as the associated macroeconomic drivers which underlie such plans (the “Discrete Restructuring Charges”);

• Excluding on a pretax basis Fortive corporate allocations in the second quarter of 2025;

• Excluding on a pretax basis stock-based compensation modification in the third quarter of 2025; and

• Excluding on a pretax basis separation costs in the third quarter of 2025.

In addition, with respect to the non-GAAP measures of historical adjusted net earnings and historical adjusted diluted net earnings per share, Ralliant makes the following adjustments to GAAP net earnings and GAAP diluted net earnings per share:

• Excluding the tax effect (to the extent tax deductible) of the pretax adjustments noted above. The tax effect of such adjustments was calculated by applying the overall estimated effective tax rate to the pretax amount of each adjustment (unless the nature of the item and/or the tax jurisdiction in which the item has been recorded requires application of a specific tax rate or tax treatment, in which case the tax effect of such item is estimated by applying such specific tax rate or tax treatment). The Company expects to apply the overall estimated effective tax rate to each adjustment going forward; and

• Excluding the discrete tax adjustment related to the impact of the repricing of deferred tax balances due to an enacted reduction in the German corporate tax rate. The repricing of deferred tax balances due to the German tax rate reduction is one time in nature and therefore considered to be a non-GAAP adjustment in the third quarter of 2025.

Amortization of Acquisition Related Intangible Assets

As a result of Ralliant’s acquisition activity, there was significant amortization expense associated with definite-lived intangible assets. The Company excludes the amortization expense of acquisition related intangible assets incurred in each period, and impairment charges incurred, if any. Management believes that this adjustment provides investors with additional insight into the Company’s operational performance and profitability as such impacts are not related to its organic business performance.

Acquisition and Divestiture Related Adjustments and Costs

While Ralliant has a history of acquisition and divestiture activity, the Company does not acquire and divest businesses or assets on a predictable cycle. The amount of an acquisition’s purchase price allocated to inventory fair value adjustments are unique to each acquisition and can vary significantly from acquisition to acquisition. In addition, transaction costs, which include acquisition, divestiture, integration, and restructuring costs related to completed or announced transactions, and the non-recurring gains on divestitures of businesses or assets are unique to each transaction and are impacted from period to period depending on the number of acquisitions or divestitures evaluated, pending, or completed during such period, and the complexity of such transactions. The Company adjusts for transaction costs, acquisition related fair value adjustments to inventory, integration costs, and corresponding restructuring charges related to acquisitions, in each case, incurred in a given period.

Discrete Restructuring Charges

Ralliant excludes costs incurred pursuant to discrete restructuring plans that are fundamentally different in terms of the size, strategic nature and planning requirements, as well as the inconsistent frequency, of such plans originating from significant macroeconomic trends or material disruptions to operations, economy, or capital markets from the ongoing productivity improvements that result from application of the Ralliant Business System or from execution of general cost saving strategies. Because these restructuring plans will be incremental to the fundamental activities that arise in the ordinary course of business and management believes are not indicative of ongoing operating costs in a given period, the Company excludes these costs to facilitate a more consistent comparison of operating results over time. Restructuring costs related primarily to an acquisition are not included in this adjustment but are instead included in acquisition and divestiture related items.

Fortive Corporate Allocations

Prior to the separation from Fortive, Ralliant was allocated corporate costs to each of its segments as part of Fortive’s corporate cost allocation process. During the second quarter, Ralliant incurred incremental costs with the establishment of a separate corporate function, primarily related to employee compensation and IT system costs, as well as incremental standalone public company costs such as corporate governance costs, including audit and other professional services fees, consulting and legal fees, and stock exchange listing fees. The Ralliant corporate costs are primarily allocated to each of its segments, while the incremental standalone public company costs are reported as unallocated corporate costs. The Fortive corporate cost allocations are duplicative with the Ralliant corporate costs allocated to its segments and were therefore considered to be a non-GAAP adjustment in the second quarter of 2025.

Stock-Based Compensation Modification

In connection with the separation from Fortive, Ralliant established the Ralliant Corporation 2025 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Ralliant Stock Plan”). The outstanding equity awards of Fortive held by Ralliant employees were replaced with awards of Ralliant common stock under the Ralliant Stock Plan using a conversion factor using Fortive’s pre-spin close price and Ralliant’s three-day volume-weighted average price as of July 2, 2025. The three-day volume-weighted average price was used to maintain the economic value before and after the separation date using the ratio of the Ralliant common stock fair market value relative to the Fortive common stock fair market value prior to the separation. The one-time incremental stock-based compensation expense recorded as a result of this equity award conversion are therefore considered to be a non-GAAP adjustment in the third quarter of 2025.

Separation Costs

Ralliant became a standalone public company in the third quarter and incurred incremental recurring and non-recurring charges as a result of the separation from Fortive. The Company performed an analysis to determine the split between recurring and non-recurring and have only recorded the non-recurring charges as a non-GAAP adjustment in the third quarter. These charges included equity plan payments due to the dissolution of such plans as a result of the separation, retention bonuses to certain employees, disentanglement expenses resulting from the separation, and certain tax and legal services.

Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow Conversion

Ralliant uses the term “free cash flow” when referring to net cash provided by operating activities calculated according to GAAP less payments for capital expenditures. The Company uses “free cash flow conversion” when referring to free cash flow divided by adjusted net earnings.

Management believes that such non-GAAP measures provide useful information to investors in assessing the Company’s ability to generate cash without external financing, fund acquisitions and other investments and, in the absence of refinancing, repay its debt obligations. However, it should be noted that free cash flow as a liquidity measure has material limitations because they exclude certain expenditures that are required or that the Company has committed to, such as debt service requirements and other non-discretionary expenditures. Such non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a replacement for or superior to, the most directly comparable GAAP measures, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
