MasterBrand Q1 2025 Earnings Report
reported Q1 2025 results with a 3% increase in net sales but a significant decrease in net income and adjusted EBITDA compared to the prior year period
Key Takeaways
MasterBrand, the largest residential cabinet manufacturer in North America, reported mixed results for the first quarter of 2025. While net sales increased by 3% year-over-year, driven by the Supreme acquisition, the company experienced a substantial decrease in net income and adjusted EBITDA, attributed to weaker end market demand, higher expenses from the acquisition, and unfavorable fixed cost leverage. The company also updated its full-year 2025 financial outlook, anticipating a low single-digit decrease in net sales.
Net sales increased 3% year-over-year to $660.3 million, primarily due to the Supreme acquisition.
Net income decreased 65% year-over-year to $13.3 million, largely due to higher SG&A, interest expense, restructuring costs, and intangible asset amortization from the Supreme acquisition.
Adjusted EBITDA decreased to $67.1 million from $79.4 million in the prior year period, resulting in a 220 basis point decrease in adjusted EBITDA margin.
Diluted EPS was $0.10, down from $0.29 in the prior year, while adjusted diluted EPS was $0.18 compared to $0.31.
