EVI INDUSTRIES, INC. (EVI)·Q3 2025 Earnings Summary
Executive Summary
- Q3 2025 delivered solid YoY growth with revenue up 11% to $93.5M and record gross profit of $28.1M; net income was $1.0M (1.1% margin) and diluted EPS was $0.07. Adjusted EBITDA rose to $5.1M with a 5.4% margin, while gross margin held at 30.0% despite mix headwinds .
- Operating cash flow was a strong $9.1M in the quarter, reducing net debt by 25% versus December 31; total available liquidity exceeded $175M following a credit facility amendment that extended maturity to March 2030 and increased total potential availability to $200M, positioning the balance sheet to fund growth and acquisitions .
- The largest acquisition in company history—Girbau North America (GNA)—closed April 1. Management expects it to “substantially increase operating profit”; pro forma FY2024 contribution was ≈$50M net revenue and ≈$7M operating income (implying 14% revenue and 54% operating income uplift), a material medium-term earnings catalyst .
- Sequentially, Q3 revenue was flat to modestly higher vs Q2 ($93.5M vs $92.7M), EPS held at $0.07, and margins were largely stable; SG&A increased on strategic investments and acquisition-related costs ($0.3M one-time) .
- Consensus EPS and revenue estimates from S&P Global were unavailable for Q3 2025, limiting explicit beat/miss analysis; however, the narrative suggests continued demand, stable margins, and tightening operating discipline ahead of GNA integration (estimates may need to move higher post-acquisition) .
What Went Well and What Went Wrong
What Went Well
- Record gross profits with resilient 30.0% gross margin despite mix shift; management emphasized value selling and customer experience investments: “gross margins remained solid… through investments in technology, inventory availability, and service quality” .
- Strong operating cash generation ($9.1M), liquidity enhancement (> $175M), and extended credit facility ($200M total potential, maturity to 2030) support buy-and-build strategy execution .
- Strategic scale-up via GNA acquisition: “This is a transformational deal… largest acquisition in our history” with expected cost/revenue synergies and cultural alignment; pro forma adds ≈$50M net revenue and ≈$7M operating income .
What Went Wrong
- SG&A up 10% YoY in Q3 and 7% for nine months on commission mix, integration of acquired businesses, tech investments, and $0.3M one-time M&A charge, compressing operating margin (Q3 OI $2.3M vs $2.4M YoY) .
- Vended ASPs rose, but OPL ASPs declined due to greater proportion of smaller machines; industrial project sales were a smaller mix, muting operating leverage despite unit growth .
- Adjusted EBITDA margin dipped YoY (5.4% vs 5.9%), reflecting investment cadence and mix; management reiterated near-term cost impact from modernization initiatives .
Financial Results
Notes:
- Nine-month FYTD: Revenue $279.9M, Gross Profit $84.4M, OI $9.7M, Net Income $5.4M, Adjusted EBITDA $17.8M .

Earnings Call Themes & Trends
Management Commentary
- “This is a transformational deal for EVI and marks the largest acquisition in our history… we expect the acquisition to drive meaningful cost and revenue synergies” — Henry Nahmad, CEO, on GNA .
- “Strong and consistent cash flow generation allows us to fund accretive acquisitions like G&A… we now have over $175,000,000 in liquidity with extended maturity and improved capacity” .
- “Gross margins remained solid… investments in technology, inventory availability, and service quality” underpin margin resilience amid mix shifts .
- “We will be aggressive in the pursuit of long-term growth yet conservative in the way we finance our growth” — reiterating capital discipline .
Q&A Highlights
- The company provided a pre-recorded earnings call without a live Q&A session, directing investors to its website for the recording .
- Key clarifications embedded in prepared remarks focused on the strategic rationale and expected synergy potential from GNA, the cadence of industrial project timing, and continued investment in digital infrastructure .
Estimates Context
- S&P Global consensus EPS and revenue estimates for Q3 2025 were unavailable for EVI; therefore, a formal beat/miss assessment vs Street is not possible. Given the April 1 closing of GNA and management’s commentary on synergies and integration progress, we would expect forward estimates (revenue, operating income, EBITDA) to adjust upward to reflect the pro forma contribution .
- Disclaimer: Where estimates are not shown, S&P Global data was unavailable for the specified period.
Key Takeaways for Investors
- Post-GNA, EVI’s revenue base and operating income should step up meaningfully; integration progress and synergy capture are likely medium-term drivers of earnings and multiple expansion .
- Liquidity and credit flexibility (> $175M available; $200M total potential facility; maturity to 2030) provide ample capacity for continued buy-and-build and technology investments, reducing financing risk for further M&A .
- Operating cash flow strength ($9.1M in Q3) and disciplined inventory management support deleveraging and working-capital efficiency, a constructive backdrop for margin improvement as mix normalizes .
- Near-term margin pressure from SG&A and modernization costs should moderate as digital platforms scale (FSM deployed, CRM/e-commerce in flight), offering potential operating leverage upside .
- Mix normalization (industrial project cadence; OPL vs vended ASP dynamics) is a key watch item for quarterly volatility; backlog and signed large deals underpin demand visibility .
- With Street estimates unavailable for Q3, watch for upward revisions post-GNA as coverage updates pro forma run-rate; events like investor conferences and integration updates could be stock catalysts .
- Risk factors remain (tariffs/inflation, labor costs, supply chain), but diversified customer base, supplier relationships, and decentralized model provide resilience across cycles .
