BROOMFIELD, Colo., Aug. 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- DMC Global Inc. (Nasdaq: BOOM) today announced financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2025. Consolidated second-quarter sales totaled $155.5 million, a decline of 2% sequentially and 9% versus the second quarter of 2024. Adjusted EBITDA attributable to DMC was $13.5 million, down 6% sequentially and down 30% versus the year-ago period, but above management’s guidance range of $10 million to $13 million, as DMC’s businesses executed on their operational and strategic initiatives while navigating a period of exceptionally low visibility.

Sales at Arcadia, DMC’s architectural building products business, were $62.0 million, down 5% sequentially and down 11% versus last year’s second quarter. Last year’s second quarter benefitted from strong demand for high-end residential and commercial exterior products. As previously discussed and expected, the high-end residential market has been significantly weaker in the current year, reflecting persistently high interest rates and generally lower construction activity. The sequential decline also reflects lower project billings following the recent completion of a large mixed-use development in California. Second quarter adjusted EBITDA attributable to DMC was $4.0 million, down 28% sequentially and 46% from the year-ago second quarter. The disproportionate declines in adjusted EBITDA were due to lower absorption of fixed manufacturing overhead on decreased sales. During the past several months, Arcadia rightsized its residential cost structure to align with current market activity while refocusing on its core commercial operations.

DynaEnergetics, DMC’s energy products business, reported second quarter sales of $66.9 million, up 2% sequentially and down 12% versus the year-ago second quarter. The year-over-year decline principally reflects lower pricing and softer demand in DynaEnergetics’ core U.S. unconventional market, where the average number of operating frac crews declined 5% sequentially and 24% versus the second quarter last year. Adjusted EBITDA was $9.0 million, up 22% sequentially and 3% versus the second quarter last year. The improvements reflect overall lower material costs relative to prior year, in particular.

At NobelClad, DMC’s composite metals business, sales were $26.6 million, down 5% sequentially and up 6% versus the year-ago second quarter. Order backlog at the end of the second quarter was $37 million versus $41 million at the end of the first quarter. The decline reflects ongoing uncertainty regarding U.S. tariff policy, which has prompted customers to delay purchasing decisions while they await clarity on future tariff actions. Adjusted EBITDA was $4.4 million, down 19% from the previous quarter and 23% from the year-ago period, primarily due to a less favorable order mix.

“During the quarter, we focused on executing our operational and commercial strategies,” said James O’Leary, DMC’s president and CEO. “We concurrently made important progress on improving our financial position. Total debt was reduced by 17% year to date, and we amended our credit facility in June to enhance our financial flexibility as we prepare for the possible acquisition of the remaining 40% stake in Arcadia in late 2026.

“I want to thank all of our DMC associates for their continued focus and dedication despite extremely difficult market conditions. Our people are the foundation of our long-term success.”

Guidance

Third quarter sales are expected to be in a range of $142 million to $150 million, with adjusted EBITDA attributable to DMC anticipated in a range of $8 million to $12 million. The wider-than-normal guidance range for adjusted EBITDA reflects increased uncertainty in DMC’s end markets. Conditions in the U.S. construction industry are expected to remain challenging, and Arcadia’s residential cost structure was rightsized to align with the current market, while management continues to focus on Arcadia’s core commercial operations. At DynaEnergetics, third quarter guidance assumes a sequential decline in well completion activity in U.S. onshore oil and gas markets, reflecting lower oil prices, fewer active frac crews, and ongoing tariff issues. NobelClad’s sales are expected to be lower sequentially, reflecting the deferral of orders by customers impacted by still evolving tariff policies. The above guidance is heavily influenced by macroeconomic concerns, volatility and visibility issues created by the current state of tariff policies and energy markets. It is subject to change either upward or downward as market conditions evolve.

*Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to disclosing financial results that are determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP), DMC also discloses certain non-GAAP financial measures that we use in operational and financial decision making. Non-GAAP financial measures include the following:

• EBITDA: defined as net income (loss) plus net interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.
• Adjusted EBITDA: excludes from EBITDA stock-based compensation, restructuring expenses and asset impairment charges (if applicable) and, when appropriate, nonrecurring items that management does not utilize in assessing DMC’s operating performance (as further described in the tables below).
• Adjusted EBITDA attributable to DMC Global Inc.: excludes the Adjusted EBITDA attributable to the 40% redeemable noncontrolling interest in Arcadia Products.
• Adjusted EBITDA for DMC business segments: defined as operating income (loss) plus depreciation, amortization, allocated stock-based compensation (if applicable), restructuring expenses and asset impairment charges (if applicable) and, when appropriate, nonrecurring items that management does not utilize in assessing DMC's operating performance.
• Adjusted net income (loss): defined as net income (loss) attributable to DMC Global Inc. stockholders prior to the adjustment of redeemable noncontrolling interest plus restructuring expenses and asset impairment charges (if applicable) and, when appropriate, nonrecurring items that management does not utilize in assessing DMC’s operating performance.
• Adjusted diluted earnings per share: defined as diluted earnings per share attributable to DMC Global Inc. stockholders (exclusive of adjustment of redeemable noncontrolling interest) plus restructuring expenses and asset impairment charges (if applicable) and, when appropriate, nonrecurring items that management does not utilize in assessing DMC's operating performance.
• Net debt: defined as total debt less total cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities.
• Free-cash flow: defined as cash flows from operating activities less net acquisitions of property, plant and equipment.

Management believes providing these additional financial measures is useful to investors in understanding DMC's operating performance, excluding the effects of restructuring, impairment, and other nonrecurring charges, as well as its liquidity. Management typically monitors the business utilizing the above non-GAAP measures, in addition to GAAP results, to understand and compare operating results across accounting periods, and certain management incentive awards are based, in part, on these measures. The presence of non-GAAP financial measures in this report is not intended to suggest that such measures be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or as superior to, DMC’s GAAP information, and investors are cautioned that the non-GAAP financial measures are limited in their usefulness.

Because not all companies use identical calculations, DMC’s presentation of non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. However, these measures can still be useful in evaluating the company’s performance against its peer companies because management believes the measures provide users with valuable insight into key components of GAAP financial disclosures. For example, a company with greater GAAP net income may not be as appealing to investors if its net income is more heavily comprised of gains on asset sales. Likewise, eliminating the effects of interest income and expense moderates the impact of a company’s capital structure on its performance.

DMC is unable to reconcile its expected second quarter 2025 adjusted EBITDA attributable to DMC to the most directly comparable projected GAAP financial measure because certain information necessary to calculate such measure on a GAAP basis is unavailable or dependent on the timing of future events outside of DMC’s control. Therefore, because of the uncertainty and variability of the nature of and the amount of any potential applicable future adjustments, which could be significant, DMC is unable to provide a reconciliation for expected adjusted EBITDA attributable to DMC without unreasonable efforts.
