Balance Sheet and Cash Flow
"While macroeconomic conditions presented challenges, MSA delivered organic sales growth within our low-single digit 2025 Outlook range, free cash flow conversion that surpassed our annual target range and higher capital returns to shareholders," commented
The company deployed capital in line with its capital allocation strategy in 2025 by acquiring M&C TechGroup for
2026 Net Sales Outlook
The company is expecting mid-single digit full-year organic sales growth in 2026, and has provided an update on the operating environment below:
Tailwinds
- Increasing global safety standards creating demand for sophisticated safety products and solutions; diverse end markets provide resiliency
- Favorable underlying demand for fixed and portable detection, including MSA+ connected ecosystem solutions
- Carry-over from fire service late AFG funding and
U.S. Government shutdown in 2025 - Industrial PPE to benefit from continued momentum in fall protection
- Positive contribution from strategic pricing actions
Headwinds
- Continued macroeconomic, tariff and geopolitical policy uncertainty
- Mixed industrial end market demand globally
- Non-recurrence of large detection orders in
Latin America

Management believes that organic sales change is a useful metric for investors, as foreign currency translation, acquisitions and divestitures can have a material impact on sales change trends. Organic sales change highlights ongoing business performance excluding the impact of fluctuating foreign currencies, acquisitions and divestitures. There can be no assurances that MSA's definition of organic sales change is consistent with that of other companies. As such, management believes that it is appropriate to consider sales change determined on a GAAP basis in addition to this non-GAAP financial measure.

(a) Transaction costs include advisory, legal, accounting, valuation, and other professional or consulting fees incurred during our evaluation of or in connection with acquisitions and divestitures. These costs are included in Selling, general and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. |
Adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) and adjusted EBITDA margin are non-GAAP financial measures and operating ratios derived from non-GAAP measures. Adjusted operating income is defined as operating income excluding restructuring charges, currency exchange gains / losses, acquisition-related amortization, net cost for product related legal matter and transaction costs. Adjusted operating margin is defined as adjusted operating income divided by net sales to external customers. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as adjusted operating income plus depreciation and amortization, and adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales to external customers. These metrics are consistent with how management evaluates segment results and makes strategic decisions about the business. Additionally, these non-GAAP financial measures provide information useful to investors in understanding our operating performance and trends, and to facilitate comparisons with the performance of our peers. Adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin are not recognized terms under GAAP, and therefore do not purport to be alternatives to operating income or operating margin as a measure of operating performance. The company's definition of adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. As such, management believes that it is appropriate to consider operating income and net income determined on a GAAP basis in addition to these non-GAAP measures.

Management believes that adjusted earnings and adjusted diluted earnings per share are useful measures for investors, as management uses these measures to internally assess the company's performance and ongoing operating trends. There can be no assurances that additional special items will not occur in future periods, nor that MSA's definition of adjusted earnings is consistent with that of other companies. As such, management believes that it is appropriate to consider both net income determined on a GAAP basis as well as adjusted earnings.
