Kadant Cuts 2025 Revenue and EPS Outlook as Q1 Revenue Falls 4%

Negative Impact 4 of 5 guidance Written later

Kadant reported first quarter 2025 revenue of $239 million, down 4% from a year earlier, and GAAP EPS of $2.04, down 3%. The company lowered its full-year 2025 guidance, citing tariff costs of $5 million to $6 million and customers delaying large capital projects into 2026, which lowers the outlook for shareholders.

Key points

  • Q1 2025 revenue fell 4% to $239.2 million; bookings rose 3% to $256.2 million
  • Q1 GAAP EPS fell 3% to $2.04; adjusted EPS fell 12% to $2.10
  • 2025 revenue guidance cut to $1.020 billion to $1.040 billion from $1.040 billion to $1.065 billion
  • 2025 GAAP EPS guidance cut to $8.97 to $9.17 from $9.63 to $9.98; adjusted EPS guidance cut to $9.05 to $9.25 from $9.70 to $10.05
