  • Net sales up 35%, operating profit up 32% and adjusted operating profit(1) up 28%, each year-over-year
  • Organic order growth of ~15% year-over-year and ~11% sequential improvement; trailing twelve-month (TTM) organic order growth of ~11% year-over-year

  • Raising full year 2025 guidance for adjusted diluted EPS, net sales, adjusted operating profit and adjusted free cash flow

COLUMBUS, Ohio , July 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Vertiv Holdings Co (NYSE: VRT), a global leader in critical digital infrastructure, today reported financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2025. Vertiv delivered strong second quarter performance with net sales of $2,638 million, representing a 35% increase ($685 million) from the prior year period, driven by robust data center demand and continued market penetration. Orders momentum remained robust, with second quarter 2025 organic orders increasing approximately 15% year-over-year and 11% sequentially from first quarter 2025. Our TTM organic orders for the period ending June 30, 2025 grew approximately 11% compared to the prior year TTM period, reflecting sustained market demand. Our strong market position is evidenced by our growing backlog of $8.5 billion and a book-to-bill ratio of approximately 1.2x for the quarter.

Second quarter 2025 operating profit increased $106 million to $442 million, up 32% from the prior year period, while adjusted operating profit grew $108 million to $489 million, representing a 28% increase. Adjusted operating margin was 18.5%, down 110 basis points compared to second quarter 2024, primarily reflecting ongoing tariff impacts. Compared to our prior guidance for second quarter and full year 2025, we have accelerated ER&D and growth fixed cost investments. In addition, two factors impacted our second quarter adjusted operating margin results: (1) higher than anticipated supply chain and manufacturing transition costs to mitigate tariffs and (2) operational inefficiencies and execution challenges stemming from stronger than anticipated growth acceleration. We have clear action plans in place and expect these temporary factors to be materially resolved by year end.

"Vertiv's second quarter performance demonstrates the strength of our market position and our ability to execute at scale," said Giordano Albertazzi, Vertiv's Chief Executive Officer. "Our 35% sales growth and robust orders momentum reflect both strong market demand and our expanded capabilities to serve our customers' increasingly complex infrastructure needs. We are strategically investing in capacity expansion and accelerating our innovation pipeline to capitalize on unprecedented data center growth, particularly in AI-enabled infrastructure. The announced agreement to acquire Great Lakes Data Racks & Cabinets further strengthens our position in the fast-growing data center market. As we progress on our strong growth trajectory, we are vigorously addressing some temporary margin challenges which we anticipate will be materially addressed by the end of 2025. Given our strong performance, backlog and positive outlook, we are raising our full-year adjusted diluted EPS, net sales, adjusted operating profit and adjusted free cash flow forecast, positioning Vertiv for even stronger performance in the quarters ahead."

"What we're seeing in the data center industry today goes well beyond the next few years," added Dave Cote, Vertiv's Executive Chairman. "This is a technological transformation that we believe will drive sustained long-term growth. We plan to invest resolutely and rationally, both organically and through acquisitions, to strengthen our market leadership and capitalize on this latest significant development as the digital age progresses."

Adjusted Free Cash Flow(1) and Liquidity

Net cash generated by operating activities in the second quarter 2025 was $323 million and adjusted free cash flow was $277 million, each decreasing ~$59 million from second quarter 2024, primarily due to increased working capital investment to support growth and favorable timing of trade working capital elements in the second quarter last year. Higher adjusted operating profit and lower cash interest partially offset the working capital investments in the second quarter. Our adjusted free cash flow has increased 24% on a year-to-date basis.

We continue to expect capital expenditures in the range of $250 - $300 million to support strong industry demand. Our financial position remains robust, with $2.5 billion in liquidity and net leverage of approximately 0.6x at the end of second quarter 2025. This strong balance sheet and cash flow generation enable us to pursue strategic growth opportunities, as demonstrated by our agreement to acquire Great Lakes Data Racks & Cabinets (the "Acquisition"), which we believe will strengthen our position in high-density white space solutions.

Updated Full Year and Third Quarter 2025 Guidance

The data center market continues to show robust momentum with sequential pipeline growth and substantial increases in AI-related activity driving strong demand. This momentum is reflected in our projected 2025 organic sales growth of 24%. To capitalize on these expanding opportunities, we are continuing to accelerate our growth investments, with significant ER&D investments in next-generation technologies and AI-optimized infrastructure solutions. Additionally, we are strategically expanding our global manufacturing capacity to meet strong customer demand while enhancing our ability to navigate geo-political complexities. We expect adjusted operating margins to strengthen sequentially throughout the remainder of this year. This improvement will be driven by our operational initiatives, tariff countermeasures, commercial actions, and strategic supply chain optimization efforts.

Given our strong backlog and pipelines, we are raising our full-year 2025 guidance across most key metrics. We now expect organic sales growth of 24%, up from 18%, adjusted operating profit of $1,990 million, up from $1,935 million, adjusted diluted EPS of $3.80, up from $3.55 and adjusted free cash flow of $1.4 billion, up from $1.3 billion. Additionally, we are lowering our adjusted operating margin to 20.0%, down from 20.5%, given the factors described above. We anticipate meeting our long-term adjusted operating margin target of 25% by 2029.

For purposes of this presentation and accompanying earnings guidance information, tariff rates active on July 28, 2025, include (but are not limited to): existing Chapter 1-97 tariffs; Section 301 tariffs; IEEPA tariffs (20% China; 25% Mexico / Canada; 0% USMCA); Section 232 Steel and Aluminum tariffs (50%); and Reciprocal tariffs (10% All Countries and certain exceptions for Mexico / Canada goods). Our guidance does not take into account those proposed tariffs that may become effective after July 28, 2025 as we await further clarification from relevant regulatory authorities.  This tariff situation remains fluid and uncertain. Tariff costs incremental to current guidance are possible as the tariff perimeter is subject to ongoing changes.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Financial information included in this release has been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"). Vertiv has included certain non-GAAP financial measures in this news release, as indicated above, that may not be directly comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies and therefore may not be comparable among companies. These non-GAAP financial measures include organic net sales growth (including on a segment basis), adjusted operating profit, adjusted operating margin, adjusted diluted EPS and adjusted free cash flow, which management believes provides investors with useful supplemental information to evaluate the Company's ongoing operations and to compare with past and future periods. Management also uses certain non-GAAP measures internally for forecasting, budgeting and measuring its operating performance. These measures should be viewed as supplementing, and not as an alternative or substitute for, the Company's financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G, Vertiv has provided reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

Information reconciling certain forward-looking GAAP measures to non-GAAP measures related to third quarter and full-year 2025 guidance, including organic net sales growth, adjusted free cash flow and adjusted operating margin, is not available without unreasonable effort due to high variability, complexity and uncertainty with respect to forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliations. For those reasons, we are unable to compute the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could have a potentially unpredictable, and potentially significant, impact on our future GAAP financial results.

See "Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Financial Measures" in this release for Vertiv's reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

Reconciliation of GAAP and non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement this news release, we have included certain non-GAAP financial measures in the format of performance metrics. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with additional meaningful financial information that should be considered when assessing our underlying business performance and trends. Further, management believes these non-GAAP financial measures also enhance investors' ability to compare period-to-period financial results. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, the company's reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our non-GAAP financial measures do not represent a comprehensive basis of accounting. Therefore, our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Reconciliations of each of these non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP information are also included. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in making financial, operating, compensation and planning decisions and in evaluating the company's performance. Disclosing these non-GAAP financial measures allows investors and management to view our operating results excluding the impact of items that are not reflective of the underlying operating performance.

Vertiv's non-GAAP financial measures include:

  • Adjusted operating profit (loss), which represents operating profit (loss), adjusted to exclude amortization of intangibles;
  • Adjusted operating margin, which represents adjusted operating profit (loss) divided by net sales;
  • Organic net sales growth, which represents the change in net sales adjusted to exclude the impacts of foreign currency exchange rate;
  • Adjusted free cash flow, which represents net cash provided by (used for) operating activities adjusted to exclude capital expenditures and investments in capitalized software; and
  • Adjusted diluted EPS, which represents diluted earnings per share adjusted to exclude amortization of intangibles and change in warranty liability.

Our guidance reflects the currently expected impacts of the tariff rates active on July 28, 2025, including (but not limited to): existing Chapter 1-97 tariffs; Section 301 tariffs; IEEPA tariffs (20% China; 25% Mexico / Canada; 0% USMCA); Section 232 Steel and Aluminum tariffs (50%); and Reciprocal tariffs (10% All Countries and certain exceptions for Mexico / Canada goods). Our guidance does not take into account those proposed tariffs expected to become effective after July 28, 2025 as we await further clarification from relevant regulatory authorities. This tariff situation remains fluid and uncertain. Tariff costs incremental to current guidance are possible as the tariff perimeter is subject to ongoing changes.
