Everforth Tops Guidance With $1.03B Q3 Revenue, But Net Income Falls to $23.1M
EFOR has more than doubled off its 52-week low of $16.9.
Summary
Q3 revenue came in at $1.03B, up from $1.01B a year ago and above the high end of guidance, with adjusted EBITDA of $106.3M (10.3% margin) also at the top of the range. The problem is profitability: net income fell to $23.1M from $38.1M a year ago and gross margin slipped 110 bps to 28.3% on mix and FX. That extends the margin compression flagged in the Q2 10-Q, where net income had already dropped to $14.2M on flat revenue. Offsetting the soft bottom line, they cut debt by $52.8M and upsized the revolver to $600M maturing 2031, which eases near-term refinancing risk. Top line is holding and cash generation is intact, but the earnings decline is the number that matters until gross margin stabilizes.
