DMC Global Reports Second Quarter Financial Results
BROOMFIELD, Colo., July 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- DMC Global Inc. (Nasdaq: BOOM) today reported financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2026.
Consolidated sales and adjusted EBITDA attributable to DMC were at or above the high end of management's forecasts, driven by meaningfully improved results at Arcadia Products, DMC’s building products business, which delivered its strongest sales performance since the second quarter of 2024. Second quarter consolidated sales were $157.0 million, level with the 2025 second quarter and up 16% sequentially. Adjusted EBITDA attributable to DMC was $10.7 million, down 21% versus the 2025 second quarter, and up 174% sequentially. The year-over-year decline in adjusted EBITDA was driven by unfavorable mix, higher input costs and price pressure at DynaEnergetics, DMC’s energy products business.
The commercial construction market, particularly for larger, longer-term project business, remains highly challenged as reflected by the American Institute of Architects’ Architectural Billings Index, which has gone a record 41 consecutive months without a majority of firms reporting billings growth. Despite this, Arcadia reported second quarter sales of $67.4 million, up 9% versus the year-ago second quarter, and up 19% sequentially. Adjusted EBITDA attributable to DMC was $5.5 million, up 36% year over year and up 135% sequentially due to higher sales and improved fixed cost absorption.
Arcadia’s improved performance was driven by successful efforts to strengthen its short-cycle commercial product line through improved product availability and service across its network of regional service centers. The high-end residential windows and door line also reported improved year-over-year performance. Meanwhile, Arcadia’s sales also benefitted from higher average aluminum prices, which were up 79% year over year and 11% sequentially.
DynaEnergetics reported second quarter sales of $67.4 million, flat versus the year-ago second quarter, and up 13% sequentially. Adjusted EBITDA, which included $1.5 million in tariff refunds, was $5.6 million, down 37% from the 2025 second quarter and up 105% from the prior quarter. The sequential increase was driven by sales growth and tariff refunds, while the year-over-year decline resulted from previously mentioned unfavorable mix, input-cost and price factors.
Demand at DynaEnergetics remains steady across its North American and international markets. DynaEnergetics also recently completed the first customer deliveries of a new perforating system purpose-built for Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) applications, which often involve large wellbores and extreme downhole conditions.
At NobelClad, DMC’s composite metals business, second quarter sales were $22.2 million, down 17% versus last year’s second quarter, but up 15% sequentially. Second quarter sales were negatively impacted by customer delays in taking delivery of certain clad-plate orders. Adjusted EBITDA was $3.0 million, down 31% year over year, but up 60% versus the prior quarter. NobelClad ended the second quarter with an order backlog of $63.5 million versus $70.3 million at the end of the 2026 first quarter. Shipments from NobelClad’s backlog are expected to improve during the third quarter as customer delays in delivery acceptance abate.
“Although each of our businesses continues to be impacted by difficult end market conditions, we benefitted from specific improvement initiatives discussed in prior quarters, most notably at Arcadia,” said James O’Leary, president and CEO. Looking ahead, both DynaEnergetics and NobelClad should benefit as market headwinds begin to ease. Finally, I would like to thank our associates for their continued hard work and focus during the most recent quarter.”
Guidance
Third quarter sales are expected to be in a range of $158 million to $168 million, with adjusted EBITDA attributable to DMC anticipated in a range of $10 million to $13 million. The expected sequential improvements reflect steady performance at Arcadia, expected increases in well completion activity in DynaEnergetics’ oil and gas and EGS markets, and increased project shipments at NobelClad. DMC’s third quarter guidance does not contemplate increased disruptions in international supply chains due to ongoing hostilities in the Middle East, which could impact both DynaEnergetics and NobelClad, continued volatility in aluminum input costs at Arcadia, or generally weaker end market conditions.
This guidance remains highly dependent on macroeconomic conditions, particularly within DMC’s core energy and construction markets, and may change—either positively or negatively—as these volatile factors evolve throughout 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 third 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.
