BERWYN, Pa., May 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- AMETEK, Inc. (NYSE:AME) today announced its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025.

AMETEK's first quarter 2025 sales were $1.73 billion, in-line with the first quarter of 2024 sales. Operating income increased 2% to $454.8 million, and operating margins were up 60 basis points to 26.3%, both versus prior year's adjusted results. Free cash flow to net income conversion was 112% in the quarter.

On a GAAP basis, first quarter earnings per diluted share were $1.52. Adjusted earnings in the quarter were $1.75 per diluted share, up 7% from the first quarter of 2024. Adjusted earnings adds back non-cash, after-tax, acquisition-related intangible amortization of $0.23 per diluted share. A reconciliation of reported GAAP results to adjusted results is included in the financial tables accompanying this release and on the AMETEK website.

"AMETEK delivered excellent results in the first quarter with high single digit orders growth, outstanding operating performance, solid free cash flow conversion and strong margin expansion," stated David A. Zapico, AMETEK Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "The proven strength and flexibility of the AMETEK Growth Model, coupled with exceptional operational execution, enabled us to navigate an uncertain macroeconomic environment and deliver earnings solidly above our expectations."

Electronic Instruments Group (EIG)

EIG sales in the first quarter were $1.14 billion, down 1% from the first quarter of 2024. EIG's operating income in the quarter was up slightly to $354.1 million with operating income margins of 31.0%, up 50 basis points versus the prior year.

"EIG posted solid first-quarter results with continued excellent operating performance leading to outstanding operating margins and strong margin expansion," stated Mr. Zapico. "Our diverse portfolio of highly differentiated technologies positions our EIG businesses to benefit from long-term secular growth drivers across attractive markets."

Electromechanical Group (EMG)

EMG sales in the first quarter were a record $588.3 million, up 2% from the first quarter of 2024. EMG's first quarter operating income was up 7% to $128.7 million, and operating income margins were up 120 basis points to 21.9% in the quarter, versus the prior year's adjusted results.

"EMG's first quarter results were excellent, with solid organic sales growth, robust orders growth, strong operating performance and outstanding margin expansion," added Mr. Zapico. "We are encouraged by the solid sales and orders growth in the quarter, in particular within our Paragon Medical business, which saw a sizeable increase in orders in the quarter."

2025 Outlook

"I am very pleased with AMETEK's strong results in the first quarter. Our results highlight the robust and durable nature of the AMETEK Growth Model and the flexibility of our distributed operating structure," stated Mr. Zapico. "These characteristics have proven to be key differentiators for AMETEK during prior periods of macroeconomic uncertainty."

"While uncertainty has increased as a result of the global trade dynamics, we believe we can offset tariff headwinds through the implementation of mitigation actions. As a result, we continue to expect overall sales for the year to be up low single digits compared to 2024 and adjusted earnings per diluted share to be in the range of $7.02 to $7.18, up 3% to 5% versus the comparable basis for 2024," noted Mr. Zapico.

AMETEK will webcast its first quarter 2025 investor conference call on Thursday, May 1, 2025, beginning at 8:30 AM ET. The live audio webcast will be available and later archived in the Investors section of www.ametek.com.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

The Company supplements its consolidated financial statements presented on a U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") basis with certain non-GAAP financial information to provide investors with greater insight, increased transparency and allow for a more comprehensive understanding of the information used by management in its financial and operational decision-making. Reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures are included in the accompanying financial tables. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a replacement for, or superior to, the comparable GAAP measure, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

The Company believes that these measures provide useful information to investors by reflecting additional ways of viewing AMETEK's operations that, when reconciled to the comparable GAAP measure, helps our investors to better understand the long-term profitability trends of our business, and facilitates easier comparisons of our profitability to prior and future periods and to our peers.
