AI Summary
Q3 2025

Net Sales: Tennant delivered Q3 2025 net sales of $303 million, down 4% year-over-year, with an organic decline of 5.4% due to tough comps and lower volumes.

Order Growth: Orders grew 2% versus Q3 2024, extending the streak to 6 quarters of order growth, though the rate has slowed due to prior year comparisons.

Margins: Gross margin expanded 30 basis points and adjusted EBITDA margin improved by 120 basis points to 16.4%, driven by disciplined pricing and cost controls.

Tariff Headwinds: Tariffs are raising costs and causing some North American industrial customers to defer purchases, but Tennant is mitigating most impacts via pricing and supply chain actions.

Regional Dynamics: EMEA orders rose 8% with strategic initiatives gaining traction, APAC remains challenged in China but strong in Australia and India, and Americas sales were down due to prior year backlog benefits.

Guidance: Full-year net sales are expected within the $1.21–$1.25 billion range, but organic growth will be slightly below the initial negative 1% to negative 4% guidance range.
