MILWAUKEE, July 07, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Enerpac Tool Group Corp. (NYSE: EPAC) (the “Company” or “Enerpac”) today announced results for its fiscal third quarter ended May 31, 2026.
“We were pleased with the performance of our business and the solid growth we delivered in the third quarter of fiscal 2026,” said Paul Sternlieb, Enerpac Tool Group's President & CEO. “Within the Industrial Tool & Service (IT&S) segment, product sales increased 5 percent organically year over year, reflecting the underlying strength of the business. While we saw continued market challenges in the quarter due to the conflict in the Middle East, we are encouraged by the strong sequential growth in our Service business and expect to see continued improvement as we realize the benefits of our focused commercial activities and restructuring actions over the coming quarters.”
As announced in a press release issued earlier today, Enerpac signed a definitive agreement to acquire Specialized Fabrication Equipment Group LLC (SFE Group), a global provider of specialized fabrication, welding, portable machining, and material-handling equipment. Sternlieb explained, “The acquisition of SFE Group will add a premium brand platform of complementary products with a record of strong growth and profitability, while expanding our presence in higher-growth end markets and geographies.” The press release is available on the Enerpac Tool Group investor relations website at ir.enerpactoolgroup.com/news.

Non-GAAP Financial Information
This press release contains financial measures that are not measures presented in conformity with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures include organic sales, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net earnings, adjusted diluted earnings per share, adjusted operating profit, segment adjusted operating profit and adjusted EBITDA, adjusted SG&A expense, free cash flow and net debt. This press release includes reconciliations of non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP measure, included in the tables attached to this press release or in footnotes to the tables included in this press release. Management believes the non-GAAP measures presented in this press release are commonly used financial measures for investors to evaluate Enerpac Tool Group’s operating performance and financial position with respect to the periods presented and, when read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements, present a useful tool to evaluate ongoing operations and provide investors with metrics they can use to evaluate aspects of the Company’s performance from period to period. In addition, these are some of the financial metrics management uses in internal evaluations of the overall performance of the Company’s business. Management acknowledges that there are many items that impact a company’s reported results and the adjustments reflected in these non-GAAP measures are not intended to present all items that may have impacted these results. In addition, these non-GAAP measures are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Adjusted diluted earnings per share anticipated for fiscal year 2026 is calculated in a manner consistent with the historical presentation of that measure in the accompanying tables. Because of the forward-looking nature of this estimate, it is impractical to present a quantitative reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to the comparable GAAP measure, and accordingly no such GAAP measure for that period is being presented.
