SARASOTA, FL, March 2, 2026 - Helios Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: HLIO) (“Helios” or the “Company”), a global leader in highly engineered motion control and electronic controls technology, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2025 ended January 3, 2026.

“We finished 2025 ahead of recent expectations, with all businesses reporting quarterly sales and earnings growth, leading to full-year sales growth for the first time in three years, while also delivering record free cash flow.

Our balance sheet is strong, and our net-debt-to-adjusted EBITDA leverage ratio is comfortably below 2.0x, a level that has not been achieved since 2Q22,” said Sean Bagan, President & Chief Executive Officer of Helios.

“As we start 2026, Helios is extremely well positioned with a strong funnel of opportunities generated by our go-to-market initiatives focused on customer centricity and the innovative products we have launched. We now have the right structure and the right leadership team to deliver improved results and return Helios to being a growth engine with strong returns on the capital we continue to deploy. Our team is dedicated, energized, and fully engaged, building our plans from the ground up to deliver on our commitments. Capitalizing on the return to growth we achieved in 2025, I expect 2026 to extend that momentum and lead to an even stronger future for Helios,” he concluded.

* Adjusted numbers are not measures determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, commonly known as GAAP. Nevertheless, Helios believes that providing these specific Non-GAAP figures are important for investors and other readers of Helios financial statements, as they are used as analytical indicators by Helios management to better understand operating performance. These Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered a substitute for GAAP. Please carefully review the attached Non-GAAP reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP measures and the related additional information provided throughout. Because these metrics are Non-GAAP measures and are thus susceptible to varying calculations, these figures, as presented, may not be directly comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies.

Sales

Changes in mix: compared with the fourth quarter of the prior-year period, Hydraulics segment sales increased 10% while Electronics segment sales increased 31%.

By region: year-over-year sales increased in the Americas 22% and Europe, Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”) 33% while Asia Pacific (“APAC”) declined 8% and on a pro forma basis APAC increased 46%.

Other impacts: foreign currency (FX) translation favorably impacted sales by $3.3 million in the fourth quarter 2025.

Profits and margins

Gross profit and margin impacts: gross profit increased 31%, or $16.8 million compared with the year ago period. Gross margin expanded 350 bps primarily from the impact of higher volume and lower direct labor costs as a percentage of sales partially offset by net tariff impacts.

Selling, engineering and administrative (“SEA”) expenses: increased $4.7 million, or 14%, compared with the year ago period while as a percentage of sales, SEA expenses declined 50 bps.

Operating income: increased $12.5 million, or 94%, driven by the increase in gross profit partially offset by an increase in SEA expenses.

Amortization of intangible assets: $7.6 million down 4% compared with the year ago period. The decrease was primarily driven by the divestiture of the CFP business.

Non-operating items

Net interest expense: declined $7.5 million, or 92%, in the quarter compared with the year ago period as a result of lower debt balances, lower rates, combined with refinanced lower spreads. Also, interest expense was lower from the one-time benefit of $5.4 million related to an interest rate swap that was originally due for maturity this quarter from when the Company refinanced its debt in 2024.

Effective tax rate: fourth quarter and full year of 2025 was 22.7% and 22.5% compared with 37.2% and 22.8% in the corresponding period of 2024, respectively. These effective rates fluctuate relative to the levels of income and different tax rates in effect among the countries in which we sell our products. The 2025 period included impacts due to the goodwill impairment and gain on the sale of CFP. The 2024 period included an overall increase in discrete tax benefits driven by the previous CEO's termination in July 2024.

Net income, diluted earnings per share (“EPS”), adjusted diluted EPS, and adjusted EBITDA margin

GAAP net income: increased by $14.7 million compared with the year ago period primarily as a result stronger margins on a higher sales volume. On a per diluted share basis, earnings increased 314%, or $0.44, to $0.58.

Adjusted diluted EPS: increased $0.48, or 145%, to $0.81 compared with the year ago period.

Adjusted EBITDA margin: expanded 270 bps to 20.1% compared with the year ago period reflecting the impact of the items referenced above.

($ in millions) (Unaudited)	January 03, 2026	December 28, 2024	Change	% Change
Net Sales
Americas	$58.4	$51.7	$6.7	13%

Operating Income	$24.7	$16.5	$8.2	50%
Operating Margin	18.7%	13.8%	490bps

Fourth Quarter 2025 Hydraulics Segment Review

Sales: strong growth in EMEA and the Americas more than offset the decline in APAC, which was entirely driven by the CFP divestiture. On a pro-forma basis, APAC was up 51%. Consolidated sales increased 10% compared with the prior year. Sales growth was driven by growth in mobile, primarily construction, and agriculture markets. FX had a favorable $3.3 million impact on sales compared with the year ago period.

Gross profit and margin drivers: gross profit increased $9.5 million, or 27%, and margin expanded 440 bps primarily due to better fixed cost leverage on higher volume, lower direct labor costs as a percentage of sales, and the favorable impact of the CFP divestiture.

Operating income and operating margin: operating income increased $8.2 million, or 50%, and operating margin expanded 490 bps, compared with the year ago period due to improved gross profit and margin somewhat offset by modestly increased operating expenses. SEA expenses were $1.3 million higher than the year ago period, as a result of investments in wages and benefits, while SEA declined over 50 bps as a percentage of sales.

Operating Margin	12.0%	9.0%	300bps

Fourth Quarter 2025 Electronics Segment Review

Sales: grew 31% with all regions growing over 20% reflecting significant strength in the recreational end market driven by strong demand from OEM customers as well as improvements in health and wellness, mobile and industrial end markets.

Gross profit and margin drivers: gross profit increased $7.4 million, or 40%, and margin expanded 210 bps primarily due to higher volumes and more favorable sales mix within the segment.

Operating income and operating margin: growth in operating income of $4.1 million, or 76%, and operating margin expanding 300 bps was the result of higher sales volume and the resulting increase in gross profit and increased leverage on SEA expenses.

Cash and cash equivalents: as of January 3, 2026, were $73.0 million up from $44.1 million in the year ago period.

Cash conversion cycle: decreased from the prior-year period reflecting improved inventory management and extending supplier payment terms.

Helios has presented non-GAAP measures including adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, EBITDA, EBITDA margin, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, net debt-to-adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, and adjusted net income per diluted share and sales in constant currency. Helios believes that providing these specific Non-GAAP figures are important for investors and other readers of Helios financial statements, as they are used as analytical indicators by Helios management to better understand operating performance. The determination of the amounts that are excluded from these Non-GAAP measures is a matter of management judgment and depends upon, among other factors, the nature of the underlying expense or income recognized in a given period. You should not consider the inclusion of this additional information in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Please carefully review the Non-GAAP reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP measures and the related additional information provided throughout. Because these metrics are Non-GAAP measures and are thus susceptible to varying calculations, these figures, as presented, may not be directly comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies.

This news release also presents forward-looking statements regarding Non-GAAP measures, including adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin and adjusted net income per diluted share. The Company is unable to present a quantitative reconciliation of these forward-looking Non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measures because such information is not available, and management cannot reliably predict the necessary components of such GAAP measures without unreasonable effort or expense. In addition, the Company believes that such reconciliations would imply a degree of precision that would be confusing or misleading to investors. The unavailable information could have a significant impact on the Company’s 2025 financial results. These Non-GAAP financial measures are preliminary estimates and are subject to risks and uncertainties, including, among others, changes in connection with quarter-end and year-end adjustments. Any variation between the Company’s actual results and preliminary financial data set forth above may be material.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Non-GAAP Forward-looking Financial Measures:

Adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, EBITDA, EBITDA margin, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, net debt-to-adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, adjusted net income per diluted share and sales in constant currency are not measures determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, commonly known as GAAP. Nevertheless, Helios believes that providing these specific Non-GAAP figures are important for investors and other readers of Helios financial statements, as they are used as analytical indicators by Helios management to better understand operating performance. These Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered a substitute for GAAP. Please carefully review the attached Non-GAAP reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP measures and the related additional information provided throughout. Because these metrics are Non-GAAP measures and are thus susceptible to varying calculations, these figures, as presented, may not be directly comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies. The Company does not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking Non-GAAP financial measures, such as adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share disclosed above in our 2025 Outlook, to their comparable GAAP financial measures because it could not do so without unreasonable effort due to the unavailability of the information needed to calculate reconciling items and due to the variability, complexity and limited visibility of the adjusting items that would be excluded from the Non-GAAP financial measures in future periods.
