DMC Global Reports Fourth Quarter Financial Results

BROOMFIELD, Colo., Feb. 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- DMC Global Inc. (Nasdaq: BOOM) today reported financial results for its fourth quarter ended December 31, 2025.

During the fourth quarter, DMC made significant progress strengthening its balance sheet, management’s primary objective for 2025. Net debt* was reduced by $11.4 million sequentially to $18.7 million, which was down 67% versus the end of 2024. The Company generated fourth quarter operating cash flow of $15.2 million, while free-cash flow* was $11.7 million. For the full year, operating cash flow was $53.5 million, up 15% from 2024, and free cash flow was $42.8 million, up 41% from 2024.

Fourth quarter consolidated sales were $143.5 million, a 6% decline from the 2024 fourth quarter and a 5% sequential decline. Adjusted EBITDA attributable to DMC, inclusive of approximately $7 million in discrete charges at DynaEnergetics, was negative ($1.6) million versus $10.4 million in the 2024 fourth quarter and $8.6 million in the 2025 third quarter. Certain of DynaEnergetics’ customers in North America’s unconventional oil and gas market have been negatively impacted by challenging conditions that include declining activity, highly competitive pricing and tariff driven input pressure, which collectively led to the accounts receivable charges.

Arcadia Products, DMC’s architectural building products business, reported fourth quarter sales of $57 million, down 5% year over year and 8% sequentially. The results reflect year-end seasonality, persistently high interest rates, and 12 consecutive months of declines in the Architectural Billings Index (ABI) across Arcadia Products’ core western U.S. market. During the quarter and into early 2026, deferrals of expected projects continued as high interest rates and elevated raw material and labor costs had a pronounced impact on activity. These conditions have led to a more competitive bidding environment that has pressured pricing. Average aluminum market prices increased 55% versus the 2024 fourth quarter and 12% sequentially, further pressuring results. Fourth quarter adjusted EBITDA attributable to DMC was $2.4 million, up from $2.2 million in the 2024 fourth quarter but down from $5.1 million in the prior quarter.

DynaEnergetics reported fourth quarter sales of $68.9 million, up 8% year over year and flat sequentially. Adjusted EBITDA, inclusive of approximately $7 million in discrete accounts receivable and inventory write offs, was negative ($2.7) million. Challenging conditions in DynaEnergetics’ core U.S. unconventional market persisted during the quarter, further pressuring certain of DynaEnergetics’ smaller customers. WTI crude prices fell nearly 10% sequentially, while the average number of frac crews declined by nearly 4% sequentially. In addition, severe price competition negatively impacted fourth quarter profitability. DynaEnergetics also has been significantly impacted by tariffs since they were imposed in February 2025, paying more than $3 million in tariffs and related duties during the fourth quarter and more than $10 million in calendar year 2025.

At NobelClad, DMC’s composite metals business, fourth quarter sales were $17.7 million, down 38% versus last year’s fourth quarter and down 15% sequentially. The declines reflect reduced bookings during the first half of 2025, with U.S. and reciprocal tariff actions contributing to significant uncertainty in NobelClad’s U.S. and international markets. Adjusted EBITDA was $2.1 million, down 64% versus the 2024 fourth quarter and up 1% from the previous quarter. The year-over-year decline principally reflects significantly lower sales volumes and a corresponding reduction in the absorption of fixed manufacturing overhead costs. NobelClad ended the fourth quarter with an order backlog of $62.6 million, up 28% from the end of the 2024 fourth quarter and up 10% sequentially. The year-over-year increase reflects the award of a record $25 million order during the second half of 2025 for an international petrochemical project.

“The fourth quarter saw a continuation of the severe macroeconomic challenges the oilfield and building products sectors faced throughout 2025,” said James O’Leary, president and CEO. “However, our exceptional DMC associates focused on what was within their control as we made significant progress strengthening DMC’s financial position. As a result, our net debt reached its lowest level since the Arcadia Products acquisition in 2021, despite challenging conditions across all our end markets.

“While near-term macroeconomic conditions remain highly challenged, certain of our businesses are exploring prospective avenues for growth that are complementary to their existing capabilities,” O’Leary added. “DynaEnergetics has begun exploring both the enhanced geothermal market and has expanded its efforts in certain emerging global shale markets. NobelClad is preparing for additional opportunities associated with the recently announced acceleration of the United States’ Naval readiness program. Meanwhile, all our businesses are evaluating additional tariff mitigation strategies and targeted cost reduction programs if business does not improve as 2026 progresses.”

Guidance

First quarter sales are expected to be in a range of $132 million to $138 million, with adjusted EBITDA attributable to DMC anticipated in a range of $2 million to $4 million. First quarter results will reflect the impact of severe weather across much of the United States that affected each of DMC’s businesses. In addition, many of the factors that negatively impacted the Company's fourth quarter and most of 2025 are expected to persist through at least the beginning of 2026. Management expects Arcadia Products will continue to be impacted by the broader factors weighing upon the construction sector, including persistently high interest rates, volatile and generally higher tariff-impacted input prices, and acute price competition. Project deferrals and generally lower activity in Arcadia Products’ core West Coast markets are expected to continue through at least the beginning of the year. DynaEnergetics' core North American unconventional market remains challenged by margin pressure from both a reduction in operating frac crews, which has led to a particularly difficult pricing environment, and higher input prices that have been inflated principally by tariffs. Lastly, while NobelClad expects improved performance for the full fiscal year, demand erosion following the imposition of tariffs in early 2025 – and the resulting impact on major orders – will result in a slow start to the year. This guidance does not contemplate recent changes in tariff policies or increases in oil prices. The above is heavily impacted by macroeconomic conditions, particularly in DMC’s core energy and construction markets, and is subject to change either upward or downward as these highly volatile inputs evolve in 2026.

*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:

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 first quarter 2026 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.
