PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 28, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Axalta Coating Systems Ltd. (NYSE:AXTA) ("Axalta"), a leading global coatings company, announced its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025.

Third Quarter 2025 Highlights:

Third quarter net sales of approximately $1.3 billion
Net income of $110 million with a net income margin of 8.5%, an increase of 80 basis points year over year
Record quarter for Adjusted EBITDA of $294 million
Adjusted EBITDA margin expanded 70 basis points year over year to 22.8%
Diluted EPS increased 11% to $0.51
Record quarter for Adjusted Diluted EPS of $0.67, an increase of 6%
Executed $100 million in share repurchases

"We executed another strong quarter delivering record Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Diluted EPS. Our results reflect our focus on operational excellence while the team has done an exceptional job navigating the challenging macroeconomic environment," said Chris Villavarayan, Chief Executive Officer and President of Axalta. "We have now delivered twelve consecutive quarters of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin growth year-over-year and are well prepared for 2026."

Third Quarter 2025 Consolidated Financial Results

Net sales decreased 2% year over year to $1.3 billion in the third quarter of 2025. Favorable foreign currency translation and organic net sales in Mobility partially offset declines in Performance Coatings, primarily in North America.

Net income increased by $8 million year over year to $110 million resulting in a net income margin of 8.5%, an increase of 80 basis points compared to last year. The increase was primarily driven by a 7% reduction in selling, general, and administrative expenses and lower interest expense. Adjusted net income was $144 million, compared to $139 million in the prior-year period. Adjusted EBITDA was a new quarterly record of $294 million, an increase of $3 million year over year, and Adjusted EBITDA margin expanded by 70 basis points year over year to 22.8%. Diluted EPS increased by 11% to $0.51 compared to $0.46 in the prior-year period, while adjusted diluted EPS improved by 6% to $0.67, primarily due to lower interest expense and a reduction in the number of shares outstanding.

Cash provided by operating activities was $137 million in the third quarter of 2025 compared to $194 million in the prior-year period. The decrease was primarily driven by higher working capital due to an increase in planned inventory levels this year. Free cash flow was $89 million compared to $164 million a year ago, reflecting lower cash provided by operating activities and higher capital expenditures for productivity and growth initiatives.

Discussion of Segment Results

Performance Coatings' net sales totaled $828 million in the third quarter of 2025, down from $877 million in the prior-year period. Continued macroeconomic pressures in North America were partially mitigated by positive price-mix in Industrial and favorable foreign currency translation. Refinish net sales declined 7% year over year to $517 million, predominantly driven by North America due to lower claims activity and shifts in customer order patterns. Industrial net sales decreased by 4% year over year to $311 million.

The Performance Coatings segment generated Adjusted EBITDA of $211 million, down from $221 million in the prior-year period. Despite the decline in net sales, segment Adjusted EBITDA margin increased to 25.5%, representing a 20 basis point improvement year over year, underscoring resilient profitability amid softer demand.

Mobility Coatings third quarter 2025 net sales were $460 million, a third quarter record, increasing 4% from the prior year primarily due to positive price-mix in both end markets and favorable foreign currency translation, partially offset by volume softness. Light Vehicle net sales were up 7% year over year due to organic net sales growth in Latin America and China and positive price mix. Commercial Vehicle net sales decreased by $7 million year over year to $96 million due to lower volumes primarily driven by a decline in Class 8 truck production, partially mitigated by new business wins, positive price-mix and favorable foreign currency translation.

Mobility Coatings posted strong third-quarter profitability, with Adjusted EBITDA of $83 million, up 20% compared to the prior-year period. The segment's Adjusted EBITDA margin improved by 230 basis points to 18.0%, driven by a favorable price-mix and continued focus on cost discipline, marking another quarter of solid operational execution.

Capital Allocation

In the third quarter, the Company repurchased 3.3 million shares of its common stock for total consideration of $100 million. Through the first nine months of 2025, the Company has repurchased 5.3 million shares, representing 2.4% of shares outstanding at the beginning of the year, for total consideration of $165 million. In the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company plans to accelerate its capital allocation strategy by deploying up to $250 million towards share repurchases.

Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements

This release may contain certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 regarding Axalta and its subsidiaries including, but not limited to, statements regarding our capital allocation strategy, including with respect to the timing and amount of any future share repurchases, and our outlook and/or guidance, which includes net sales, net sales growth, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Diluted EPS, Free Cash Flow, depreciation and amortization, tax rate, as adjusted, diluted shares outstanding, interest expense and capital expenditures. Axalta has identified some of these forward-looking statements with words such as "outlook," "estimates," "plans," "strategy," and "projections," and the negative of these words or other comparable or similar terminology. All of these statements are based on management's expectations as well as estimates and assumptions prepared by management that, although they believe to be reasonable, are inherently uncertain. These statements involve risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, economic, competitive, governmental, including related to any tariffs imposed by the U.S. and any retaliatory actions from other countries, and technological factors outside of Axalta's control, as well as risks related to the execution of, and assumptions underlying, its capital allocation strategy and future share repurchases, the 2024 Transformation Initiative and the 2026 A Plan, that may cause its business, industry, strategy, financing activities or actual results to differ materially. The timing and amount of share repurchases (if any) will be determined by Axalta based on its evaluation of market conditions and other factors and our stated plans do not obligate Axalta to acquire any particular amount of shares and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. More information on potential factors that could affect Axalta's financial results is available in "Forward-Looking Statements," "Risk Factors" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" within Axalta's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and in other documents that we have filed with, or furnished to, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Axalta undertakes no obligation to update or revise any of the forward-looking statements contained herein, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This release includes financial information that is not presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"), including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted Diluted EPS, adjusted net income, Free Cash Flow, tax rate, as adjusted, and Adjusted EBIT. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted Diluted EPS, adjusted net income, tax rate, as adjusted, and Adjusted EBIT in the analysis of our financial and operating performance because they assist in the evaluation of underlying trends in our business. Management uses Free Cash Flow in the analysis of (1) our liquidity, (2) our ability to incur and service our debt and (3) strategic capital allocation decisions. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Diluted EPS, adjusted net income and Adjusted EBIT consist of EBITDA, Diluted EPS, net income attributable to common shareholders and EBIT, respectively, adjusted for (i) certain non-cash items included within net income, (ii) certain items Axalta does not believe are indicative of ongoing operating performance or (iii) certain nonrecurring, unusual or infrequent items that have not otherwise occurred within the last two years or we believe are not reasonably likely to recur within the next two years. Free Cash Flow consists of cash provided by (used for) operating activities less purchase of property, plant and equipment plus interest proceeds on swaps designated as net investment hedges. We believe that making the foregoing adjustments provides investors meaningful information to understand our operating results and ability to analyze financial and business trends on a period-to-period basis. The non-GAAP financial measures used by Axalta may differ from similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted Diluted EPS, adjusted net income, Free Cash Flow, tax rate, as adjusted, and Adjusted EBIT should not be considered as alternatives to net sales, net income (loss), income (loss) from operations or any other financial measures derived in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures have important limitations as analytical tools and should be considered in conjunction with, and not as substitutes for, our results as reported under GAAP. This release includes a reconciliation of certain non-GAAP financial measures with the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Axalta does not provide a reconciliation for Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Diluted EPS, tax rate, as adjusted, or Free Cash Flow on a forward-looking basis because the information necessary to calculate a meaningful or accurate estimation of reconciling items is not available without unreasonable effort. For example, such reconciling items include the impact of foreign currency exchange gains or losses, gains or losses that are unusual or nonrecurring in nature, as well as discrete taxable events. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors and may have a substantial and unpredictable impact on our GAAP results.

Organic Net Sales

Organic net sales and related growth and decline measures are calculated by excluding (i) the impact of the change in average exchange rates between the current and comparable period by currency denomination exposure of the comparable period amount and (ii) net sales of CoverFlexx. We believe presenting organic net sales and related growth and decline measures assists investors with evaluating our sales performance without the impact of foreign exchange rates and recent acquisitions and divestitures of size, and management also routinely evaluates our sales in this manner.

Non-GAAP Reporting Changes

Beginning with the results for the fourth quarter and full year 2024, we made changes to our presentation of the non-GAAP financial measures of adjusted net income (which is also leveraged in the calculation of Adjusted Diluted EPS) and Adjusted EBIT. More detail on these changes can be found in the Current Report on Form 8-K we furnished to the SEC on January 21, 2025, which is available on the investor relations portion of our website at https://ir.axalta.com. Nothing on our website shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference into this release.

Segment Financial Measures

The primary measure of segment operating performance is Adjusted EBITDA, which is a key metric that is used by management to evaluate business performance in comparison to budgets, forecasts and prior year financial results and that management believes reflects Axalta's core operating performance. As we do not measure segment operating performance based on net income, a reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure with the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP is not available.

Defined Terms

All capitalized terms contained within this release that are not otherwise defined herein have been previously defined in our filings with the SEC.

Rounding

Certain amounts may not foot or crossfoot due to rounding. Additionally, certain percentages may not recalculate due to rounding.
