    Industrial Metals Revenue

    $213.84M vs. $125.39M (~70% increase)

    Industrial Metals revenue jumped 70% YoY as strong performance in key subsegments, likely boosted by acquisitions and improved market demand, drove these gains over the prior period.

    Brass Rod and Forgings

    $230.83M vs. $98.14M (135% growth)

    Brass Rod and Forgings revenue surged 135% YoY, fueled by contributions from recent acquisitions, enhanced net selling prices, and increased unit sales volumes relative to Q4 2023.

    Net Sales rose by about 26% YoY with higher sales from both core and non-core product lines, reflecting the positive impact of acquisitions and favorable pricing improvements compared to the previous year.

    Operating Income

    $170.26M vs. $135.24M (~26% increase)

    Operating Income increased roughly 26% YoY driven by higher net sales, improved operational efficiencies, and contributions from acquisitions, reflecting a more profitable cost structure than in Q4 2023.

    Consolidated Net Income

    $140.60M vs. $119.30M (~19% increase)

    Consolidated Net Income rose about 19% YoY as a result of improved operating income, lower effective tax rates, and positive contributions from acquisitions, overcoming challenges from the prior period.

    Depreciation & Amortization

    $22.24M vs. $9.25M (over 140% increase)

    Depreciation & Amortization increased sharply (over 140% YoY), primarily due to incremental expenses from newly acquired assets (e.g., from the Nehring acquisition), which added significant depreciation costs compared to Q4 2023.

    Interest Expense

    $75K vs. $713K (~90% decrease)

    Interest Expense dropped about 90% YoY, indicating that financing costs were significantly reduced, likely due to lower borrowing levels or favorable refinancing measures, as noted by management in Q4 2024 compared to Q4 2023.
