DMC Global Reports Third Quarter Financial Results
BROOMFIELD, Colo., Nov. 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- DMC Global Inc. (Nasdaq: BOOM) today reported financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2025. Consolidated sales were $151.5 million, a 1% decrease from the third quarter of 2024 and a 3% sequential decline. Adjusted EBITDA attributable to DMC was $8.6 million, up 51% compared with the same period last year, down 37% sequentially.
Sales at Arcadia Products, DMC’s architectural building products business, were $61.7 million, up 7% versus last year’s third quarter and down 1% sequentially. Third quarter adjusted EBITDA attributable to DMC more than doubled to $5.1 million from $2.0 million in the year-ago quarter and was up 27% from $4.0 million in the prior quarter. The business benefitted from higher year-over-year sales, which led to improved absorption of fixed manufacturing overhead absorption. Arcadia’s market continues to be impacted by high interest rates, leading to generally lower levels of activity. However, management believes Arcadia has stabilized from the challenges experienced in the prior year and is well positioned for the eventual improvement in market conditions.
DynaEnergetics, DMC’s energy products business, reported third quarter sales of $68.9 million, down 1% from the year-ago third quarter and up 3% sequentially. Adjusted EBITDA was $4.9 million, up from breakeven results in the year-ago third quarter and down 46% sequentially. The sequential decline reflects lower product pricing in a difficult and highly competitive U.S. onshore market. According to the Energy Information Administration, U.S. well completions declined 6% during the third quarter. DynaEnergetics’ third quarter margins were also impacted by higher costs due to tariffs, and receivable and inventory charges.
At NobelClad, DMC’s composite metals business, third quarter sales were $20.9 million, down 16% versus last year’s third quarter and down 21% sequentially. The declines reflect a reduction in bookings due in part to U.S. and reciprocal tariff activities. Adjusted EBITDA was $2.1 million, down 64% versus the comparable year-ago period and down 53% from the previous quarter. The decline reflects reduced absorption of fixed manufacturing overhead on lower sales and a less favorable product mix. The lower sales volume is the direct result of a tariff-driven decline in large-project orders earlier in the year.
NobelClad was awarded a $20 million order during the third quarter for an international petrochemical project. After quarter-end, NobelClad booked an additional $5 million order associated with the same project. Together, they represent the largest order in NobelClad’s history, which will begin to ship in 2026. Backlog at the end of the third quarter totaled $57 million and does not include the $5 million follow-on order.
“During the third quarter, our businesses continued to be heavily impacted by volatile and lower energy prices, generally high interest rates and issues related to current tariff policies.” said James O’Leary, DMC’s president and CEO. “During this challenging period, we continue to make substantial progress on the primary objective within our control, improving our financial position, as we significantly reduced net debt to $30.1 million, down 47% from the beginning of the year. I want to thank our DMC associates for their continued dedication and hard work in a very tough environment.”
Guidance
Fourth quarter sales are expected to be in a range of $140 million to $150 million, with adjusted EBITDA attributable to DMC anticipated in a range of $5 million to $8 million. Guidance reflects the lagged impact of the decline in U.S. bookings at NobelClad during the first and second quarters of 2025 as sales associated with recently improved incoming orders will not be recognized until 2026. The guidance range also reflects the continued turmoil in DynaEnergetics' core North American business, which has been significantly impacted by both tariffs and declining completion activity, and may experience a seasonal slowdown late in the quarter as has been the case in recent years. While Arcadia will experience some normal seasonal slowdown, it expects continued year-over-year improvement in profitability due to better operational execution. This guidance is heavily influenced by macroeconomic concerns, volatility and visibility issues created by the current state of tariff policies and energy markets and 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:
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 fourth 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.
