• Full Year 2025 Financial Performance

  Revenues increased slightly to $5,019.9 million (2025) from $5,003.6 million (2024), but organic revenue declined by 2.9%. Operating income decreased to $1,002.5 million from $1,143.1 million, and net income fell significantly to $740.7 million from $1,311.8 million, largely due to the absence of a major gain from discontinued operations in the prior year.

  The company repurchased $1,300.0 million of common stock in 2025 and issued $987.8 million in new long-term notes (5.55% due 2040 and 5.25% due 2035), increasing total long-term debt to $2,881.6 million from $1,887.4 million in 2024. Dividends paid increased to $181.1 million.

  The independent auditor identified the valuation of the Henry indefinite-lived trade name ($219.0 million) as a critical audit matter, noting its fair value exceeded its carrying value by less than 10%, indicating a sensitive estimate.

Carlisle Companies' 2025 annual report reveals a mixed financial performance with a slight increase in overall revenue driven by acquisitions, but a decline in organic revenue and core profitability. The company reported a significant drop in net income and diluted EPS year-over-year, primarily due to the absence of a large gain from discontinued operations in 2024. Operating income from continuing operations also decreased. Despite these challenges, Carlisle generated strong operating cash flow and continued its aggressive capital deployment strategy, including substantial share repurchases and new debt issuance. The auditor highlighted a critical audit matter concerning the valuation of an indefinite-lived trade name, indicating a sensitive estimate. Management anticipates continued challenging market conditions in the first half of 2026.
