DMC Global Reports First Quarter Financial Results

• First quarter sales were $159.3 million, up 5% sequentially and down 5% versus Q1 2024
• Net income attributable to DMC was $0.7 million
• Adjusted net income attributable to DMC* was $2.2 million, or $0.11 per diluted share
• Adjusted EBITDA attributable to DMC* was $14.4 million, while total adjusted EBITDA, inclusive of non-controlling interest (NCI), was $18.1 million

BROOMFIELD, Colo., May 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — DMC Global Inc. (Nasdaq: BOOM) today reported financial results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2025. Continued progress on key operational initiatives at DMC’s largest businesses drove a 5% sequential improvement in consolidated sales versus the fourth quarter, and a 39% sequential increase in consolidated adjusted EBITDA attributable to DMC.

Sales at Arcadia, DMC’s architectural building products business, were $65.6 million, up 9% sequentially and up 6% versus last year’s first quarter. The growth reflects higher sales of commercial exterior store front products and interior framing systems, which more than offset an expected decline in high-end residential window and door sales. Arcadia has recently refocused on its core commercial operations while making cost control a priority in the current volatile macroeconomic environment. Adjusted EBITDA attributable to DMC was $5.6 million, up 149% sequentially and up 58% versus the prior-year first quarter.

At DynaEnergetics, DMC’s energy products business, first quarter sales were $65.6 million, up 3% sequentially and down 16% versus the year-ago first quarter. The year-over-year decline principally reflects pricing adjustments and lower unit sales associated with weakness in the highly volatile global energy markets. Adjusted EBITDA was $7.4 million, up 45% sequentially and down 30% versus the first quarter last year.

DynaEnergetics recently completed a major automation initiative at its manufacturing center in Blum, Texas. The project focused on streamlining the assembly of the industry-leading DynaStage™ perforating system and will result in increased production capacity and a leaner workforce. While tariffs, oil price declines and poor economic visibility are outside of DMC’s control, management has focused on executing these actionable operating-improvement strategies.

At NobelClad, DMC’s composite metals business, sales were flat sequentially and up 5% versus the year-ago first quarter. Order backlog at the end of the first quarter was $41 million versus $49 million at the end of the fourth quarter. Incoming orders for this global business have been especially volatile in recent months, and have been directly impacted by tariff discussions as customers have elected to hold off on placing orders until visibility improves. Adjusted EBITDA was $5.4 million, down 7% sequentially and down 8% versus last year’s first quarter.

“At the end of 2024, we successfully extended the maturity of the Arcadia put/call obligation, while we stabilized operations at our two largest businesses,” said James O’Leary, Executive Chairman & Interim Chief Executive Officer. “This laid the foundation for our renewed ‘back to basics’ operating and commercial strategies focused on driving absolute EBITDA growth and free cash flow with a focus on further deleveraging.

“Our performance in the first quarter reflects a solid start to the year, as each of our businesses executed on the things within their control. While tariffs, deteriorating macroeconomic conditions and particularly poor visibility are ongoing challenges, our operating leaders are executing upon their operating-improvement strategies. I want to thank them—and all our DMC associates around the world—for their commitment and hard work on behalf of our stakeholders.”

Guidance

Second quarter sales are expected to be in a range of $149 million to $157 million, with adjusted EBITDA anticipated in a range of $10 million to $13 million. Lower project billings are anticipated in the second quarter at Arcadia, which recently completed a substantial portion of a large mixed-use project in California. Additionally, Arcadia’s results are expected to be below the year-ago second quarter, which benefitted from very strong demand for high-end residential and commercial exterior products. Since last year, demand in the luxury residential market has declined significantly, driven by persistently high interest rates, renewed inflation concerns, and broader macroeconomic uncertainty. At DynaEnergetics, second quarter guidance assumes sequentially stable well completion activity in its core U.S. onshore oil and gas markets. Finally, NobelClad’s sales are expected to be lower sequentially as customers seek clarity on evolving U.S. and reciprocal tariff policies. The above guidance is heavily influenced by macroeconomic concerns, volatility and visibility issues created by current tariff policies and the current level of energy prices. It is subject to change either upward or downward as greater clarity emerges.

*Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to disclosing financial results that are determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP), DMC also discloses certain non-GAAP financial measures that we use in operational and financial decision making. Non-GAAP financial measures include the following:

• EBITDA: defined as net income (loss) plus net interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.
• Adjusted EBITDA: excludes from EBITDA stock-based compensation, restructuring expenses and asset impairment charges (if applicable) and, when appropriate, nonrecurring items that management does not utilize in assessing DMC’s operating performance (as further described in the tables below).
• Adjusted EBITDA attributable to DMC Global Inc.: excludes the Adjusted EBITDA attributable to the 40% redeemable noncontrolling interest in Arcadia Products.
• Adjusted EBITDA for DMC business segments: defined as operating income (loss) plus depreciation, amortization, allocated stock-based compensation (if applicable), restructuring expenses and asset impairment charges (if applicable) and, when appropriate, nonrecurring items that management does not utilize in assessing DMC’s operating performance.
• Adjusted net income (loss): defined as net income (loss) attributable to DMC Global Inc. stockholders prior to the adjustment of redeemable noncontrolling interest plus restructuring expenses and asset impairment charges (if applicable) and, when appropriate, nonrecurring items that management does not utilize in assessing DMC’s operating performance.
• Adjusted diluted earnings per share: defined as diluted earnings per share attributable to DMC Global Inc. stockholders (exclusive of adjustment of redeemable noncontrolling interest) plus restructuring expenses and asset impairment charges (if applicable) and, when appropriate, nonrecurring items that management does not utilize in assessing DMC’s operating performance.
• Net debt: defined as total debt less total cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities.
• Free-cash flow: defined as cash flows from operating activities less net acquisitions of property, plant and equipment.

Management believes providing these additional financial measures is useful to investors in understanding DMC’s operating performance, excluding the effects of restructuring, impairment, and other nonrecurring charges, as well as its liquidity. Management typically monitors the business utilizing the above non-GAAP measures, in addition to GAAP results, to understand and compare operating results across accounting periods, and certain management incentive awards are based, in part, on these measures. The presence of non-GAAP financial measures in this report is not intended to suggest that such measures be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or as superior to, DMC’s GAAP information, and investors are cautioned that the non-GAAP financial measures are limited in their usefulness.

Because not all companies use identical calculations, DMC’s presentation of non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. However, these measures can still be useful in evaluating the company’s performance against its peer companies because management believes the measures provide users with valuable insight into key components of GAAP financial disclosures. For example, a company with greater GAAP net income may not be as appealing to investors if its net income is more heavily comprised of gains on asset sales. Likewise, eliminating the effects of interest income and expense moderates the impact of a company’s capital structure on its performance.

DMC is unable to reconcile its expected second quarter 2025 adjusted EBITDA attributable to DMC to the most directly comparable projected GAAP financial measure because certain information necessary to calculate such measure on a GAAP basis is unavailable or dependent on the timing of future events outside of DMC’s control. Therefore, because of the uncertainty and variability of the nature of and the amount of any potential applicable future adjustments, which could be significant, DMC is unable to provide a reconciliation for expected adjusted EBITDA attributable to DMC without unreasonable efforts.
