Negative Impact 4 of 5 earnings Written later

Tennant Company reported fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 results with a fourth-quarter net loss of $4.4 million, tied to disruption from its North America ERP system go-live. Full-year 2025 net sales and adjusted EBITDA came in below the company's prior guidance ranges, and net income fell 47.7% from 2024. The company also forecast 2026 net sales of $1,240 million to $1,280 million and expects margins to improve gradually through the year, with a weaker first quarter.

Key points

  • Q4 2025 net sales were $291.6 million, down 11.3% from $328.9 million; net loss was $4.4 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, versus net income of $6.6 million a year earlier
  • Full-year 2025 net sales of $1,203.5 million fell below the $1.21 billion to $1.25 billion guidance range; adjusted EBITDA of $167.4 million fell below the $196 million to $209 million range
  • The company estimates the ERP disruption reduced Q4 2025 net sales by roughly $30 million and adjusted EBITDA by about $22 million
  • 2026 guidance includes net sales of $1,240 million to $1,280 million and diluted EPS of $4.05 to $4.65; a two-week manufacturing shutdown in early January will significantly affect first-quarter sales and costs
