Key takeaways

  • Record full-year net revenue: Full-year net revenue was $7,472 million, up 11% from $6,761 million in 2024. Management said it was above the high end of the 2025 range. Source
  • Record Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS: Full-year Adjusted EBITDA was $833 million, up 20%, and Adjusted EPS was $2.68 against $2.29. Management said both were above the high end of the 2025 range. Source
  • Full-year net loss from termination expense: GAAP net loss was $527 million against $116 million of net income in 2024, driven by the expense of terminating the Indemnification Agreement. Diluted loss per share was $3.77. Source
  • Air products hit by soft HVAC: Air products were affected by the residential HVAC market, which management called soft but improving. Growth across other P&S product families and channels more than offset it. Source

  • Standalone success after separation: Management tied the Products & Solutions and ADI teams' 2025 results to core values it said will support standalone success for each company after the business separation. Source

Products, channels and demand

  • P&S growth from price and new products: Management attributed P&S revenue growth to price realization in the OEM channel and to demand for new products in electrical distribution and retail. Source
  • Air products hit by soft HVAC: Air products were affected by the residential HVAC market, which management called soft but improving. Growth across other P&S product families and channels more than offset it. Source
  • ADI e-commerce and exclusive brands growth: ADI e-commerce revenue grew 3% year-over-year, driven mainly by greater customer adoption. Exclusive Brands revenue grew 2%, which management tied to new products. Source
  • Video surveillance decline offset by security: ADI's revenue decline was driven mainly by video surveillance. Growth in commercial security and professional audio-visual categories partly offset it. Source

Costs, margins and pricing

  • Company gross margin up 110 basis points: Fourth-quarter gross margin was 29.6%, up 110 basis points. Full-year gross margin was 29.4%, up 130 basis points. Management said margin expanded at both P&S and ADI. Source
  • P&S margin from manufacturing efficiencies: P&S fourth-quarter gross margin was 41.0%, against 40.8% a year earlier. Management attributed the change largely to manufacturing efficiencies. Source
  • ADI margin from price and mix: ADI gross margin was 22.7%, up 110 basis points. ADI SG&A and R&D expenses were $190 million, up $4 million from the prior-year quarter. Source
  • P&S R&D up, SG&A down: P&S selling, general and administrative expenses fell $1 million from the prior-year quarter, while research and development rose $11 million for future-growth projects. Source

“These are part of our core values that will drive future standalone success for each company post business separation.”

  • Financial: The one-time termination payment drove the full-year GAAP net loss and the net cash used in operating activities. Source

Earlier plans management reported on

  • Not stated: The prior release gave a fourth-quarter range for adjusted cash from operations. This release states no comparison against that range for the quarter.
