Enerpac Tool Group - Earnings Call - Q1 2025

Executive Summary

• Q1 FY2025 net sales were $145.2M (+2.3% YoY) with organic sales down 0.8%; diluted and adjusted EPS were both $0.40, up 21% GAAP and 3% adjusted YoY.
• Gross margin was 51.4% (-90 bps YoY) and adjusted EBITDA margin was 23.6% (-100 bps YoY), reflecting lower Americas product sales and higher mix of lower-margin service.
• Management maintained FY2025 guidance: net sales $610–$625M, adjusted EBITDA $150–$160M, free cash flow $85–$95M; net debt was $62.6M with leverage at 0.5x adjusted EBITDA.
• Integration of DTA is progressing; Q1 delivered >$3M revenue and ~$5M orders, with a full-year expectation of ~€20M from DTA and commercial expansion beyond Europe.
• Regional trends: EMEA sustained growth against tough comps; APAC returned to growth; Americas remained soft in standard tools; price increases in Americas/EMEA effective early January provide a near-term earnings lever.

What Went Well and What Went Wrong

What Went Well

• Service revenue grew organically +5.6% while IT&S net sales rose +2.3% YoY; DTA contributed and Cortland Biomedical improved YoY.
• EMEA showed continued growth despite macro weakness in Germany and France; wind, petrochemical, and nuclear markets were strong.
• DTA integration is on track, delivering >$3M revenue and ~$5M order volume in Q1; Enerpac plans to leverage its global network to expand DTA sales outside Europe.
• “We believe Enerpac can continue to outperform the market given our global brand leadership, targeted growth strategy, customer-driven innovation, and continuous improvement” — CEO Paul Sternlieb.

What Went Wrong

• Gross margin fell 90 bps to 51.4% due to lower Americas sales, higher service mix, and normalization at Cortland.
• Product organic sales declined 2.7% YoY; adjusted operating margin declined 130 bps YoY to 21.5% (company-wide), and IT&S adjusted operating margin fell 90 bps to 27.2%.
• Service mix is margin-dilutive (labor-intensive onsite services); while rentals are attractive, management noted practical ceilings on labor rates, though avenues exist to improve service margins.

Operator (participant)

Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for standing by. Welcome to Enerpac Tool Group's first quarter fiscal 2025 earnings conference call. As a reminder, this conference is being recorded December 19th, 2024. It is now my pleasure to turn the conference over to Travis Williams, Senior Director of Investor Relations. Please go ahead, Mr. Williams.

Travis Williams (Senior Director of Investor Relations)

Thank you, Operator. Good morning, and thank you for joining us for Enerpac Tool Group's first quarter fiscal 2025 earnings call. On the call today to present the company's results are Paul Sternlieb, President and Chief Executive Officer, and Darren Kozik, Chief Financial Officer. The slides referenced on today's call are available on the Investor Relations section of the company's website, which you can download and follow along. A recording of today's call will also be made available on our website. Today's call will reference Non-GAAP measures. You can find a reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP measures in the press release issued yesterday. Our comments will also include forward-looking statements that are subject to business risk that could cause actual results to be materially different. Those risks include matters noted in our latest SEC filings. Now I will turn it over to Paul.

Paul Sternlieb (President and CEO)

Thanks, Travis, and good morning. I'd like to welcome Darren to his first Enerpac earnings call. He's been on board as our CFO for nearly two months and is coming up to speed very quickly. We're thrilled to have him on the team. Now switching to the quarter and beyond, we enter fiscal 2025 mindful of a continued sluggish industrial macro environment, as evidenced by persistently weak manufacturing PMI and industrial production trends you can see on slide three. While we saw a decline in the Americas region of our industrial tools and services business due to these challenging market conditions, we were pleased to report sales growth across Enerpac's two other geographic regions and at Cortland Biomedical. Overall, we believe Enerpac can continue to outperform the market given our global brand leadership, targeted growth strategy, customer-driven innovation, and continuous improvement process to enhance operational efficiency and productivity.

In light of the global macro situation, we are actively monitoring costs in the short term to ensure our cost structure aligns with business conditions. We also have a detailed strategy that will enable us to continue to enhance profitability on a longer-term basis, which I will speak to in a moment. In the meantime, I'll turn the call over to Darren to elaborate on our financial performance in the quarter.

Darren Kozik (EVP and CFO)

Thanks, Paul. As seen on slide four, Enerpac's total revenue increased 2.3% in the first quarter of 2025. At our IT&S business, revenue increased 2.3% year over year, with a 1% decline in organic sales. The slight decline in organic sales was comprised of a 5.6% increase in service revenue, offset by a 3% decrease in product sales. Paul will speak about the regional performance later in the call. Results for the first quarter included nearly a full quarter of revenue from DTA, an acquisition we closed on September 4th. In the quarter, we made solid progress in integration and delivered more than $3 million in revenue and $5 million in order volume. We are excited about the combination of DTA with our heavy lifting technology, or HLT, business, and expect growth benefits as we expand DTA sales beyond Europe by leveraging Enerpac's global commercial network.

Therefore, we are maintaining our expectation of a full year 2025 sales of EUR 20 million from DTA. At Cortland Biomedical, reported in our other segment, we generated another quarter of growth with a year-over-year revenue increase of 2.6%. Turning to slide five, gross profit margin declined 90 basis points year over year to 51.4%. This was primarily due to lower sales in the Americas, a higher percentage of service revenue, and a return to normalized margins at Cortland, which remains accretive to Enerpac's overall performance. Adjusted SG&A held flat at 29% of revenue, despite the inclusion of DTA, reflecting our ability to manage our cost base. We will continue to monitor costs closely in the second quarter given the environment. Adjusted EBITDA margins declined 100 basis points in the first quarter of 2025 due to the gross margin discussed and the inclusion of DTA.

Adjusted earnings per share were $0.40 for the first quarter of 2025, compared with $0.39 in the year-ago period, a 3% increase. The effective tax rate was nearly flat at 22%, compared with 21.9% in the year-ago period. Turning to the balance sheet shown on slide six, Enerpac's position remains extremely strong. Net debt was $63 million, resulting in net debt leverage of 0.5 times adjusted EBITDA at the end of the first quarter. Total liquidity was $529 million. In the quarter, free cash flow improved $11 million from the prior year period as a result of higher net earnings and lower annual incentive compensation payments, which more than offset the increased CapEx related to our upcoming headquarters relocation. We remain very excited about the move and the benefits it will have for the company.

As we continue to generate cash, coupled with our current leverage, we have the needed capacity to deploy capital for our disciplined M&A strategy, as well as internal investments and continued opportunistic share repurchases. With that, let me turn it back to Paul to discuss our commercial performance by region.

Paul Sternlieb (President and CEO)

Thanks, Darren. On a geographic basis, as seen on slide seven, we were encouraged by our performance in the EMEA region, which continued to generate positive year-over-year growth against tough comparisons, despite the macro pressures in Germany and France, which are two of our largest economies in the region. We enjoyed particular strength in the wind market, with a bright outlook given an array of projects in the pipeline. Service revenue also remained strong, driven by petrochemical markets and power generation, particularly in nuclear. In the Asia-Pacific region, we were pleased to see a return to year-over-year growth, with a sales gain in the mid-single digits. While Australia continues to be soft, mainly due to depressed conditions in the mining industry, the rest of the region is experiencing solid trends. For the full year, we continue to anticipate growth in the Asia-Pacific region.

In our largest market, the Americas, the environment remains cautious, which is reflected in our results this quarter. While we are seeing gains in heavy lifting technology, or HLT, and services, sales of our standard industrial tool products were weaker in the quarter, with many customers sticking to a wait-and-see posture. With inventories in line, we're cautiously optimistic that clarity on the direction of interest rates and policies from the new administration will create a more positive demand environment in the coming months. In the meantime, we are enjoying a favorable market response to our new products, including our line of battery torque wrenches, battery-powered pumps, and hydraulic pullers. In addition, we continue to focus on our sales funnel management, utilizing Enerpac Commercial Excellence, or ECX.

For the second consecutive quarter, Cortland posted year-over-year revenue growth and remains on track to generate growth for the full year with the benefit of several new products. Turning to slide eight, last quarter, we introduced Powering Enerpac Performance, or PEP, our continuous improvement program, which will propel our goal of capturing further profitable growth and margin improvement. Overall, we're focused on continued standardization and simplification of processes, ensuring best practices are consistently applied across the organization. Let me drill down on some specific opportunities. On the gross profit line, we have several levers, including increasing lean conversion and Kaizen activity in our facilities, value engineering, and ongoing SKU rationalization, just to name a few. But perhaps our most significant near-term opportunity is on the sourcing side. Under our new Vice President of Sourcing and our Strategic Sourcing Initiative, we are optimizing and rationalizing our supply base.

At the start of the Ascend program in 2022, Enerpac was sourcing from more than 6,000 suppliers. Through the application of 80/20, we've been able to reduce that to fewer than 5,000 today. And our goal is to drive further reductions in the supply base to leverage our buying power and focus our spend with supply partners who can support our needs most effectively and provide the best cost, quality, and delivery. On the SG&A expense line, we've already made tremendous progress toward our goal of being best in class as a percent of revenue. Over the past three fiscal years, we've reduced adjusted SG&A as a percent of sales by approximately 650 basis points. For example, we have derived a significant benefit from offshoring of transactional processing and certain finance, IT, and human resource functions. But moving labor to lower-cost regions is just the start.

We're now embarking on the next phase, which is to simplify, standardize, and ultimately automate key processes. And Darren's experience in managing shared service center operations will be a tremendous asset as we add additional functions and optimize the performance of our offshore operations. Since we announced a rounding out of Enerpac's leadership, including the recent additions of Darren and Eric Chack, our Executive Vice President of Operations, we have held our annual Global Leadership Conference. This was a great opportunity to conduct a deep review of our growth strategy, evaluate challenges and opportunities, and generate key action plans to pursue in fiscal 2025 and beyond. I believe we have the right people and strategy to succeed in any environment.

Moreover, we were pleased to see yet another year of improving employee engagement scores, which I believe is a reflection of our winning culture that has been embraced across the organization. With that, we'd be happy to take questions.

Operator (participant)

Thank you. The floor is now open for questions. If you have dialed in and would like to ask a question, please press star one on your telephone keypad to raise your hand and join the queue. If you would like to withdraw your question, simply press star one again. If you are called upon to ask your question and are listening via loudspeaker on your device, please pick up your handset and ensure that your phone is not on mute when asking your question. Your first question comes from line of Tom Hayes of CL King. Your line is open.

Thomas Hayes (Senior VP and Senior Analyst)

Good morning, guys.

Paul Sternlieb (President and CEO)

Good morning, Tom.

Thomas Hayes (Senior VP and Senior Analyst)

Morning.

Hey, Paul, I was just wondering. I think when we spoke on the fourth quarter and you called it out today, obviously the industrial environment's a little bit weaker and continues to be weak. I was just wondering, obviously you guys don't provide quarterly guidance, but did Q1 play out generally as you had expected? Anything maybe positive that you saw in the quarter besides pretty strong results?

Paul Sternlieb (President and CEO)

Yeah, thanks for the question, Tom. I think, as we mentioned in our remarks on the call, it played out pretty much as we expected, frankly. I mean, we knew it was a tougher comp lapping Q1 of fiscal 2024 and obviously just the environment that we're seeing. So we suspected it was going to be a little bit more challenging here, certainly in Q1. Our expectations are at this point built into our guidance essentially for the rest of the year for better top-line performance. And I think we're optimistic just given the things that we referenced on the call around some of the potential new policies from the new administration and also just frankly what we hear in terms of latest, I'll call it voice of customer research from our customers and our channel partners, even over the last week or two.

There's, I'd say, a fair amount of optimism. I mean, certainly that has to ultimately translate into demand and orders, but I think people are relatively hopeful about what to expect in calendar 2025. But yeah, really Q1 played out essentially as expected for us.

Thomas Hayes (Senior VP and Senior Analyst)

Great. And kind of an offshoot of that, you mentioned a little bit of that. With the change in administration and the talk of tariffs, I think you make a good percentage of your products here in the U.S., but any early thoughts on the talk of tariffs with China and Mexico and any potential impact for you guys?

Paul Sternlieb (President and CEO)

Yeah, sure. We are a global manufacturer, but our largest facility is here in the U.S., actually in Wisconsin. So I think, generally speaking, I'd say Enerpac is probably in a relatively favorable position when it comes to the impact of or potential impact of any new tariffs. Just for reference, imports from Canada and Mexico into the U.S. for us are negligible. And then from a China perspective, on a direct basis, I would estimate that our products and components imported from China into the U.S. represent less than $20 million of value. So certainly not zero, but something we're able to deal with effectively, something we did deal with in the first Trump administration years ago. I think we've got a good playbook to work with that from a cost perspective, from a dual sourcing perspective, and also certainly price if that's needed.

So it's not nothing, but I wouldn't say it's hugely impactful given that dollar value for us.

Thomas Hayes (Senior VP and Senior Analyst)

Okay, appreciate it. Maybe one or two more. Kind of shifting gears a little bit on the geographic front, happy to see the up, low single digits on the EMEA. I was just wondering, I mean, we continue to hear about challenging business environments, especially in Germany. I think you called it out as one of your larger segments. Just any other color? And you seem to be kind of outperforming the market there. Just any thoughts on your EMEA performance?

Paul Sternlieb (President and CEO)

Yeah, I mean, we do continue to be pleased. We had good performance in Q4 in EMEA and even here in Q1, relatively stronger performance certainly versus the Americas, and I think the market conditions have been more challenging more recently. I mean, we can see that in the macro data as we referenced, particularly in Germany and France, but I think we are, we believe with a good degree of confidence, we are continuing to gain share there just based on the execution of our commercial strategies, our growth strategies in the region, some of the key leadership and people changes we've made, which are having great effect there, some of the process changes, again, we've made commercially, and I think some of the success, frankly, that we're seeing with our new product rollout in the region.

So we're pleased, again, with the progress that we're seeing in EMEA, even, I would say, in a tougher macro environment.

Thomas Hayes (Senior VP and Senior Analyst)

Okay, appreciate that. Maybe just lastly on the services business, kind of a two-part question. You continue to kind of call out or put up good year-over-year organic growth on the services business. I guess, one, what do you attribute those drivers to? And two, I think you called it out as maybe a drag on overall margins. I apologize if I got that wrong, but is there a pathway to get that to more of a company-wide or a product margin? Just any thoughts on that? Appreciate it. Thank you.

Paul Sternlieb (President and CEO)

Yeah. Yeah, no, absolutely, so yeah, I think we have seen certainly services here in the short term outperforming from a growth perspective, and probably not hugely surprising. I mean, service revenue can outpace product because it is in service more tied, I would say, to regularly scheduled maintenance as opposed to kind of some of our product business that can be more linked to project work or sometimes CapEx investments, so I think the service business does tend to be a bit more steady and helps offset some of the weaknesses we see from time to time in the product business. Over the longer term, however, I'd say we'd expect to see product growth outpace service just as we continue to execute on our four-pillar growth strategy that is still primarily focused on share gains on the product side of the business.

From a margin perspective in service, you may recall service is about 20% of our revenue. About half of the service businesses are rental business where we have a fleet of assets that we rent out to customers. And that is pretty good margin for us. But the other half of it is essentially a labor or manpower business where we're performing specialty work for customers at their sites utilizing our tools and assets. And while we tend to be a premium player under the Hydratight brand in that space, there still are ceilings on labor rates, just practically speaking. So that part of our service business does tend to be generally margin-diluted.

But having said that, we do continue to see a path to continue to improve margins overall on service, certainly through continued operational execution and efficiency gains, but also, I'd say, continued focus on more differentiation on the kinds of service lines that we offer and the kinds of project business that we pursue in that region. And as you may recall, probably a year or so ago, we did make an active choice through 80/20 to actually walk away effectively from some relatively lower quality, lower margin service business, particularly in the Middle East region. And we'll continue to look at that opportunistically. But I think we still see levers of opportunity for margin improvement in service.

Thomas Hayes (Senior VP and Senior Analyst)

Great. Appreciate the color. Thank you.

Paul Sternlieb (President and CEO)

Thanks, Sean.

Operator (participant)

Your next question comes from the line of Ross Sparenblek of William Blair. Your line is open.

Ross Sparenblek (Analyst)

Good morning, guys.

Operator (participant)

Your line is on mute.

Ross Sparenblek (Analyst)

Can you hear me?

Paul Sternlieb (President and CEO)

Good morning, Ross.

Ross Sparenblek (Analyst)

Apologies. Yeah, I was on mute. Forgive me. Maybe I missed it, but anything on pricing within the U.S. in the quarter and kind of what you're seeing more globally?

Paul Sternlieb (President and CEO)

Sure. Yeah. So as a general rule of thumb, I mean, we're always evaluating our price positioning. As you know, we tend to be the A premium or the premium player in our space for most of where we're positioned. And generally speaking, we would look to take price increases either one to two times a year to at least recover or over-recover from any inflationary costs that we see. And we are still, I remind folks, in an inflationary environment, as we can see in the data. And in fact, we actually just announced a round of price increases in both the Americas and our EMEA region that will be effective at the beginning of January. It's very low single digits, but that's pretty typical and the norm for us. And certainly, we monitor what's happening in the marketplace.

I'd say generally what we see as a behaved observer is a behavioral kind of aspect in the market is that we typically see competitors follow within a period of time, and we'll continue to monitor that. But we typically tend to be the price leader in our space.

Ross Sparenblek (Analyst)

Okay. Do you guys give intra-year price increases if it's warranted? Can't remember.

Paul Sternlieb (President and CEO)

Yeah. I mean, we certainly have in the past where we've seen more inflationary environment taken more than one price increase, and we certainly would look at that if warranted. Clearly, if tariffs or incremental tariffs do come into play, if we don't feel that we can effectively mitigate those appropriately through other actions, we certainly would evaluate other pricing actions as we go into 2025.

Ross Sparenblek (Analyst)

Okay. A couple more here. It seems like there's early chatter about the infrastructure spending in the U.S. picking up. A lot of companies are calling for second-half project activity, timing dependent. So just anything you're hearing from your distributors and maybe expectations on what the lead times look like for restocking if we were to start to see acceleration in greenfield activity.

Paul Sternlieb (President and CEO)

Yeah. I mean, I think we subscribe to some proprietary databases. They give us sort of pretty good indication of kind of what's coming down the pipe. And that is favorable. I mean, we certainly see a fair amount of activity picking up. I'd say it hasn't necessarily materialized for us in meaningful ways yet. As you know, Enerpac really participates kind of on the back end of the life cycle once materials show up at the job site and they really need to start putting the pieces together. But the indications we do see are projects being bidded out and kind of the design and civil engineering work underway, etc., some of the early sort of indications of procurement processes. So I think that does bode well, and we think will be favorable.

We do continue to believe that will be a nice tailwind for Enerpac over the next several years. Again, we haven't seen that materialize so much yet here in the U.S., although I'd say we have seen actually relatively decent infrastructure projects outside of the U.S., including in Europe and parts of Asia-Pac. So that's what we've seen to date from a lead time perspective. I think we're well positioned. We're pretty competitive there overall. Certainly for our kind of standard products, high runners, we do typically maintain finished goods here at Enerpac as well as in our channel. We think those are largely at appropriate levels, but we monitor that closely.

And I think given the lead times on these projects, I mean, you get pretty good runway and indications, and I think we wouldn't have an issue being able to address any of that at this point in time.

Ross Sparenblek (Analyst)

Awesome. That's great to hear. And just maybe lastly for Darren, two months into the role, but any initial impressions? And can you give us a sense of what your priorities are in the coming six, 12 months?

Paul Sternlieb (President and CEO)

Yeah. No, thanks, Ross. It's a great question. It's been a great start. Started, obviously, meeting a significant amount of investors, shareholders, as well as the extended leadership team in Milwaukee. So over the first six weeks, it's been a great feel, especially for the culture of Enerpac. As I've been here, kind of the culture of continuous improvement, that mindset embeds itself in the organization. And I would say second observation, and a big one, is the power of the Enerpac brand. Seeing that at play in the markets, the pricing we can drive, it's a fantastic benefit for the company. And finally, as Paul alluded to in his comments, it's just the team we have. It's a team we can win. We think we can win in any market. So we're going to operate, and we're going to win.

Ross Sparenblek (Analyst)

Okay. Well, welcome to the team. We look forward to working with you. Thanks, guys.

Paul Sternlieb (President and CEO)

Thanks, Ross.

Operator (participant)

Your next question comes from the line of Steve Silver of Argus Research. Your line is open.

Steven Silver (Security Analyst)

Thanks, operator. Good morning, everybody.

Paul Sternlieb (President and CEO)

Good morning, Steve.

Steven Silver (Security Analyst)

So it's great to see the return to growth in APAC this quarter. I'm curious whether you could provide some context in terms of what drove that return to growth given the continued softness in mining, whether it was just a return to growth among the core products or whether there was some benefit of the implementation of the second-brand strategy?

Paul Sternlieb (President and CEO)

Yeah. I think it actually was all of the above, Steve. I mean, certainly, the more challenging areas we referenced is Australia, and that market is still soft just due to the mining sector. But beyond that, it was pretty broad-based in Asia-Pac. Most of the other countries where we operate with scale, we saw good growth year over year. It was in both our core product, and we saw some good performance on our HLT business as well. So overall, I think it was pretty broad-based. That gives us some increasing confidence as we go into the rest of the fiscal year here. Certainly, on second-brand, we continue to execute that. We've got increased commercial focus on our team behind that, and we have made some incremental progress, good progress, I think, on adding additional distributors in the region to cover second-brand.

Obviously, that is definitely a multi-year effort to get the channel partners, the network built up for the second-brand, and also to continue to drive overall marketing and brand awareness, but we feel good about where we are with that to date.

Steven Silver (Security Analyst)

Great. And so you guys have a lot of programs going on at the same time, all working towards improving the efficiency of the business, whether it be PEP or ECX or the digital transformation strategies, a lot of those investing-in-yourself kind of strategies. Can you put any context around where you guys see yourselves within this goal? I know it's probably early stage overall, but just in terms of where you guys are within these initiatives.

Paul Sternlieb (President and CEO)

Yeah. I mean, it's really evergreen for us, Steve. As we talked about, PEP is essentially the continuation of Ascend. And although Ascend is formally over and we're not adjusting out one-time costs, really, the mechanism I call the machine that we built through Ascend is effective day-to-day in PEP. In fact, we have a transformation office that's staffed that drives the program day-to-day for us, all the same tracking of the initiatives, etc., same language that we use internally to track these initiatives and categorize them and to make sure they're driving the sustainable impact to the P&L. Ultimately, we see this driving more efficiency and productivity and enabling more organic growth in the business. Certainly, from a margin perspective, through Ascend, effectively, we got to our target margin of 25% Adjusted EBITDA margin, essentially a year ahead of plan and to fiscal 2024.

But we do see continued opportunity. And we did say, even this year, effectively at the midpoint of our guidance, if you exclude DTA, essentially, we built another 50 basis points of margin expansion in there. And that's kind of our framework under our current kind of multi-year financial guidance going forward. So we do continue to see or expect to see benefits from the implementation of PEP. And we're also extending that, right? I mean, we're extending it into commercial tools like ECX or Enerpac Commercial Excellence. As we previously mentioned, we rolled that out here in the Americas region through fiscal 2024, and we're now in the process of rolling out ECX in the EMEA region in fiscal 2025. So that's just, again, part of our continuous improvement process and ethos here at Enerpac.

Great. And one last one, if I may. The integration of the DTA acquisition, just curious as to how that's going in terms of, I guess, the reception from the marketplace around the combined capabilities now, combining both the vertical and horizontal lifting technologies. Just curious as to how the messaging is being received in the early days of the integration.

Yeah. I would take both parts of that. From an integration perspective, performing well. We've got the back office functioning. We're working as a team together, and then commercially, that promise holds that now we can move things vertically. We can move things horizontally, and taking that business from its roots in Europe, we're excited about the future. And this year, taking some of our commercial wherewithal, moving that outside of Europe, where they've been a big, big player the last couple of years. So it is holding to the promise. We're holding to the expectation, and it's performing very, very well for us. Orders were very strong in the quarter, which is a great sign for the future. Yeah, and I would just add, I agree with Darren's points. Also, we have built a commercial growth playbook.

We've rolled that out across our Enerpac commercial network, and they're very clear on how to identify and qualify initial leads for DTA. So I'm really encouraged by the progress we've made there, the initial lead generation that's happening through the Enerpac commercial network, which that was certainly a big part of the premise of our investment thesis behind the acquisition. In the early days, it seems to be playing out well.

Steven Silver (Security Analyst)

Great. Thanks for all the color, and congratulations on the execution in some challenging markets.

Paul Sternlieb (President and CEO)

Thank you.

Operator (participant)

That concludes our Q&A session. I'll now turn the comments back over to the CEO, Paul, for closing remarks.

Paul Sternlieb (President and CEO)

Okay. Well, thanks again for joining us this morning. Enerpac will be presenting at the upcoming CJS Securities Annual Investor Conference on January 14th and the Gabelli Annual Pump, Valve, and Water Symposium on February 27th in New York. We hope to see you there. Thank you, and best wishes for a wonderful holiday season and a happy new year.
