Mueller Industries reported third-quarter 2025 results for the quarter ended September 27, 2025. Net income attributable to the company rose to $208.1 million from $168.7 million a year earlier, net sales rose to $1.08 billion from $997.8 million, and diluted EPS was $1.88 versus $1.48. Management said softer residential construction and imported products ahead of tariffs pressured unit volumes, and that it has accelerated plans to expand U.S. manufacturing.
Key points
- Operating income was $276.1 million versus $206.7 million; net sales increase was attributed mainly to higher selling prices tied to rising raw material costs.
- Earnings included an $11.9 million gain on asset sales and a $4.9 million insurance claim gain, offset by a $4.8 million multiemployer pension withdrawal expense and $2.0 million of impairment charges.
- Cash balance was $1.3 billion at quarter end, the company reports no debt, and net cash from operations was $310.1 million.
