Summarized from source with an LLMView SourceSector: IndustrialsLatest Results (12.11.2025):
Graco Inc's Third Quarter 2024 results show a solid performance with steady growth in key financial areas. The company delivered a 5% increase in net sales, driven in part by a 6‐percentage point boost from its acquired operations. Operating earnings rose 13% and net earnings increased by 13%, while the gross margin remained flat amid rising product costs. In addition, operating expenses were reduced by 5% thanks to a $14 million non-cash gain from adjustments, even as other non‐operating income dipped slightly.
Strong Sales Growth
Net sales reached $543.4 million, marking a 5% increase compared to last year’s period. Incremental sales from acquired operations contributed significantly, adding 6 percentage points to the overall growth.
Rising Profitability
Operating earnings climbed to $164.7 million (up 13%) while net earnings expanded to $137.6 million (also up 13%). Diluted earnings per share increased by 15% to $0.82, reflecting improved profitability.
Stable Margins & Cost Management
Despite the pressure from higher product costs including tariff impacts, the gross profit margin was maintained at a flat level through enhanced price realization and a favorable product/channel mix. Operating expenses declined by 5%, helped by a non-cash gain of $14 million from the reduction in fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration.
Consistent Adjusted Results
On a non-GAAP basis, adjusted operating earnings were $150.6 million and adjusted net earnings were virtually unchanged at $122.8 million, underscoring the company’s stable core operational performance throughout the third quarter.
