Recent press releases and 8-K filings for IR.

- Compressors consume 30–40% of factory energy and incur 80% of ownership cost in electricity; upgraded systems deliver 15–18-month paybacks, driving energy-efficiency demand.
- Aftermarket "Care" model recurring revenue reached $300 million in 2024, targeting $1 billion by 2027 with ~60% gross margins; EcoPlant software achieves 80%+ gross margins.
- Demand remains sideways, with positive marketing-qualified leads offset by tariff-driven elongation; China is stable, Europe shows growth, and under-penetrated regions like Latin America and Southeast Asia offer expansion opportunities.
- Executed 75 bolt-on acquisitions over the past five years, targeting companies with mid-30%+ gross margins and achieving mid-teens ROIC by year three at an average 9.5× pre-synergy EBITDA multiple in 2025.
- Aftermarket recurring revenue, led by the care model, grew to $300 million in 2024 with a target of $1 billion by 2027, delivering approximately 60% gross margins and adding roughly 1× lifetime revenue per compressor.
- Energy-efficiency solutions offer an average 15–18 month payback, as compressors consume 30–40% of plant energy and 80% of lifetime costs are electricity.
- Q3 2025 demand was stable in China/APAC, robust in Europe, and muted in the U.S. due to 232 tariff uncertainty that is elongating sales cycles but not causing cancellations.
- The new 232 import tariffs are passed through neutral to EBITDA dollars, while U.S. manufacturing of compressors and blowers provides a competitive cost advantage.
- 75 acquisitions over the past five years, primarily bolt-on deals at an average pre-synergy EBITDA multiple of 9.5×, funded by a high-teens to 20% free cash flow margin and targeting mid-teens ROIC by year three.
- Aftermarket recurring revenue from the care model grew to $300 million in 2024 with a goal of $1 billion by 2027; care contracts (~40% of revenue) deliver around 60% gross margin and are being rolled out beyond compressors to blowers, vacuums and pumps.
- Energy efficiency drive: compressors account for 30–40% of factory energy use and 80% of lifetime cost is electricity, enabling customer paybacks of 15–18 months on high-efficiency solutions.
- Regional market trends: APAC/China demand stable at low-double-digit share of revenue, Europe seeing select growth pockets, and North America remaining subdued amid tariff-related uncertainty and elongated order cycles.
- Tariff response: following August 2023’s 232 derivatives, Ingersoll Rand leverages in-region manufacturing and passes tariff costs through pricing to keep EBITDA impact neutral while optimizing its global supply chain.
- Ingersoll Rand has completed 75 bolt-on acquisitions over five years (average pre-synergy EBITDA multiple of 9.5x) funded by a high-teens free cash flow margin, leveraging its decentralized IRX integration model for mid-teens ROIC by year three.
- The company targets firms with mid-30%+ gross margins in core industrial segments (compressors, blowers, vacuums, pumps); for example, Cpex improved from 50% gross margin/mid-teens EBITDA to over 55% gross margin and 30% EBITDA in three years.
- Its care service model generated $300 million in recurring revenue in 2024 (40% of aftermarket sales) and targets $1 billion by 2027, offering five-year uptime guarantees at ~60% gross margins and leveraging high-margin software (EcoPlant at 80%+ GM).
- International markets (APAC, Europe, Latin America) show stable to positive growth, while U.S. demand remains muted by tariff uncertainty despite double-digit marketing qualified lead growth and elongated order conversion cycles.
- Recent 232-tariff derivatives are pass-through with neutral EBITDA impact; IR’s in-region manufacturing strengthens competitiveness, and flexible pricing maintains customer ROI paybacks under two years.
- Ingersoll Rand has acquired Dave Barry Plastics, further expanding its life sciences portfolio.
- Dave Barry Plastics is an Ireland-based designer and manufacturer of custom plastic solutions for the biopharmaceutical, pharmaceutical, and medical device industries, particularly for clean-room environments.
- The bolt-on acquisition will join the Life Sciences platform within the Precision and Science Technologies segment.
- The investment was made at an attractive purchase multiple of approximately 9x 2024 Adjusted EBITDA.
- Organic order growth of low single digits in H1 with a book-to-bill of 1.06x and backlog up 16% vs. 2024, leading management to raise full-year revenue, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS outlooks.
- Q2 ITS orders rose 7% YoY and 5% sequentially (book-to-bill 1.05x); revenue grew low single digits. PST orders increased 13% YoY (book-to-bill 0.96x, H1 at 1.02x); revenue up 17% YoY, and adjusted EBITDA reached $117 M (+14%, margin 29.5%).
- Full-year guidance upgraded to $2.13 B adjusted EBITDA midpoint and $3.40 adjusted EPS; assumes a 23% tax rate, $220 M net interest, CapEx at 2% of revenue, and 403 M shares outstanding post Q2 buybacks.
- Completed 11 acquisitions YTD adding $200 M in annualized revenue at a 9.5x pre-synergy EBITDA multiple, with 8 more under LOI; since ILC Dover closing, deployed $650 M across 20 deals for $300 M revenue at 9.5x, targeting 400–500 bps inorganic revenue growth.
- Ingersoll Rand has acquired Termomeccanica Industrial Compressors S.p.A. and its subsidiary Adicomp for approximately €160 million.
- The deal adds leading expertise in air and gas compressors and engineered-to-order solutions for the renewable natural gas (RNG) industry.
- TMIC/Adicomp will be integrated into the Industrial Technologies and Services segment to bolster high-growth end-market capabilities.
- The transaction was executed at a low-double-digit multiple, with expected post-synergy multiples in the mid-to-high single digits.
- Pricing adjustments have been fully implemented—including list price actions and surcharges—to offset tariff impacts while keeping revenue guidance dollar neutral.
- Organic growth and recurring revenue were highlighted, with recurring revenue expanding from around $100M at the merger to over $300M by the end of 2024, setting the stage for a potential $1B target.
- M&A initiatives remain a strategic pillar, with over 65 bolt-on acquisitions in recent years, including recent regional deals in the life sciences space that enhance Ingersoll Rand’s technology platforms.
- Revenue guidance update: Executives discussed adjusting the revenue guidance by reducing full-year organic volume by about 4 percentage points, while noting tailwinds from tariff pricing, FX, and M&A initiatives.
- Regional supply strategy: The company reiterated its region-for-region approach, indicating that no significant capacity shift from China is planned, with opportunities in select supply chain pockets.
- Long cycle projects & order momentum: There is healthy momentum on long cycle projects—accounting for roughly 20-25% of the original equipment business—with orders expected to contribute into late 2026.
- Service model transformation and M&A activity: The service business is evolving from a traditional break-fix model to a recurring revenue "CARE" system with high margin potential, alongside ongoing bolt-on M&A to drive margin expansion.
- Order growth surged by 10% with organic orders increasing by 3.3% and a record free cash flow of $223 million in Q1 2025.
- The company continued its disciplined M&A strategy with multiple bolt-on acquisitions and has authorized an additional $1 billion toward share repurchases, targeting up to $750 million by year-end.
- Guidance remains consistent with prior expectations, as the firm takes a prudent approach by offsetting favorable factors with a 4% reduction in organic volume and managing an estimated $150 million tariff impact through pricing actions.
