STATESVILLE, N.C., June 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Kewaunee Scientific Corporation (NASDAQ: KEQU) today announced results for its fourth quarter and its fiscal year ended April 30, 2025.

Fiscal Year 2025 Fourth Quarter Results

Sales during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025 were $77,148,000, an increase of 36.1% compared to sales of $56,702,000 from the prior year's fourth quarter. Pre-tax earnings for the quarter were $7,149,000 compared to $1,347,000 for the prior year quarter. Net earnings for the quarter were $4,850,000 compared to net earnings of $11,026,000 for the prior year quarter. Diluted earnings per share were $1.63 compared to diluted earnings per share of $3.71 in the prior year quarter. EBITDA(1) for the quarter was $9,671,000 compared to $2,265,000 for the prior year quarter.

The Company's order backlog was $214.6 million on April 30, 2025, a slight decrease from $221.6 million on January 31, 2025, and an increase from $155.6 million on April 30, 2024.

Prior Year Quarter Non-Recurring Transactions:

During the fourth quarter of the previous fiscal year, two non-recurring transactions were recorded that impacted reported earnings and EBITDA which management believes should be considered when analyzing our financial results for the two most recent fiscal years. First, the Company successfully annuitized its pension obligation, which had been in a frozen state since 2005. Terminating the pension resulted in a one-time, non-cash expense and reduction to EBITDA in the quarter of $4,019,000 and a corresponding one-time book tax benefit related to the Company's release of accumulated tax benefits of $3,870,000. The second non-recurring adjustment related to the partial release of the Company's valuation allowance, resulting in an additional tax benefit of $6,583,000 being recorded during the fourth quarter of the previous fiscal year.

Excluding the two non-recurring transactions, prior year fourth quarter adjusted pre-tax earnings were $5,366,000. Prior year adjusted net earnings were $4,592,000 and prior year adjusted diluted earnings per share was $1.55. Prior year adjusted EBITDA was $6,284,000.

Current Quarter Adjustments for Professional and Other Fees Related to the Nu Aire Transaction, Integration, and Purchase Accounting:

Within the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025, the Company continued to incur costs associated with the acquisition and integration of Nu Aire, Inc. ("Nu Aire") by Kewaunee Scientific Corporation on November 1, 2024. We believe communicating these impacts and reporting adjusted financial metrics for our fourth quarter fiscal year 2025 helps investors better understand our financial performance.

Acquisition, integration, and purchase accounting costs in the aggregate in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025 reduced pre-tax earnings by $1,258,000 and reduced EBITDA by $650,000.

After adjusting for these costs, adjusted pre-tax earnings for the quarter were $8,407,000 compared to adjusted pre-tax earnings of $5,366,000 for the prior year quarter, an increase of 56.7%. Adjusted net earnings were $5,814,000 compared to adjusted net earnings of $4,592,000 in the prior year quarter. Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $10,321,000 compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $6,284,000 in the prior year quarter. Adjusted diluted earnings per share was $1.95 compared to adjusted diluted earnings per share of $1.55 in the prior year quarter. Further details are presented in the Adjusted Consolidated Statement of Operations Reconciliation schedule.

"Fiscal year 2025 was marked by exceptional performance from our Kewaunee team," said Thomas D. Hull III, Kewaunee's President and Chief Executive Officer. "The Company delivered excellent financial results and closed the year with a robust and healthy backlog. These results reflect the consistent execution and dedication of our global team. They are also a testament to the valuable support of our channel partners, who bring our solutions to customers across multiple end markets - customers who rely on Kewaunee's portfolio to advance their most critical priorities and create amazing laboratory spaces."

"While our industry has been facing a period of instability driven by geopolitical uncertainty, unclear tariff policies and ongoing supply chain disruptions, Kewaunee has responded with resilience. Kewaunee's culture is one of preparedness and a bias towards action which has enabled us to thrive in the midst of these uncertainties. We have a high performing culture and our teams view uncertainty as opportunity."

"We also have the best channel partners in the business, and our collaborative way of working together is producing results in the marketplace as we continue to win our fair share of projects across all markets we serve. This has never been more evident than in the consistent strength of our backlog in recent fiscal years with strength across most end-markets."

"In November of this past year, Kewaunee took a significant step forward in our growth journey with the acquisition of Nu Aire, Inc., a pioneer in laboratory equipment and biosafety solutions. This move was guided by a clear strategic intent: To bring together two market leaders with complementary strengths, shared values, and a common vision for the future of laboratory innovation. Nu Aire's future is bright and we have never been more excited about the opportunity for Nu Aire to transform the same way Kewaunee has over the past five years."

"As we look forward, we are not standing still and we expect to continue to grow both organically and inorganically. Our culture will continue to be a powerful force, fueling our ability to adapt, grow, and deliver lasting value for our customers, communities, partners, and shareholders. For business owners who care deeply about their legacy, their team, and the future of their company, Kewaunee offers more than capital - we offer stewardship, continuity, and a partner they can trust for the next chapter."

About Non-GAAP Measures

The Company includes non-GAAP financial measures such as adjusted net earnings and adjusted net earnings per share, in the information provided with this press release as supplemental information relating to its operating results. Adjusted net earnings represents GAAP net earnings adjusted for professional and other fees related to the acquisition of Nu Aire, Inc. and the corresponding tax impact in fiscal year 2025 and GAAP net earnings adjusted for net pension settlement expenses and the impact of a valuation allowance release in fiscal year 2024. This financial information is not in accordance with, or an alternative for, GAAP-compliant financial information and may be different from the operating or non-GAAP financial information used by other companies. The Company believes that this presentation of adjusted net earnings and adjusted net earnings per share provides useful information to investors regarding certain additional financial and business trends relating to its financial condition and results of operations.

EBITDA and Segment EBITDA are calculated as net earnings (loss), less interest expense and interest income, income taxes, depreciation, and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Segment EBITDA are calculated as EBITDA or Segment EBITDA less the impact of the one-time costs incurred for professional and other fees related to the acquisition of Nu Aire, Inc. during FY25 or the pension termination enacted during FY24, as discussed in more detail above. We believe EBITDA, Segment EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted Segment EBITDA allow management and investors to compare our performance to other companies on a consistent basis without regard to depreciation and amortization or the costs incurred related to the acquisition of Nu Aire, Inc. during fiscal year 2025 or our one-time pension termination transaction executed during fiscal year 2024, which can vary significantly between companies depending upon many factors. EBITDA, Segment EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted Segment EBITDA are not calculations based upon generally accepted accounting principles, and the method for calculating EBITDA, Segment EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted Segment EBITDA can vary among companies. The amounts included in the EBITDA, Segment EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted Segment EBITDA calculations, however, are derived from amounts included in the historical consolidated statements of operations. EBITDA, Segment EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted Segment EBITDA should not be considered as alternatives to net earnings (loss) or operating earnings (loss) as an indicator of the Company's operating performance, or as an alternative to operating cash flows as a measure of liquidity.
