Graco Inc. announced mixed results for the second quarter ended June 27, 2025. While net sales increased by 3% to $571.8 million, driven by acquired operations, net earnings decreased by 4% and diluted EPS saw a slight decline of 1%. The company experienced sales growth in EMEA and Asia Pacific, which was partially offset by a decrease in the Americas, particularly in the Contractor segment due to softness in North American construction markets.
Net sales increased by 3% to $571.8 million, primarily due to a 6 percentage point contribution from acquired operations.
Diluted net earnings per common share decreased by 1% to $0.76, and net earnings declined by 4% to $127.6 million.
Sales in the Americas decreased by 3%, while EMEA sales grew by 19% and Asia Pacific sales increased by 12%.
Gross profit margin rate declined by approximately 2 percentage points due to higher product costs, including increased tariffs, and lower margin rates from acquired operations.
Graco is maintaining its 2025 revenue outlook of low single-digit sales growth on an organic constant-currency basis, despite rising component costs due to tariffs. The company plans to implement a targeted price increase in September to offset these costs.
