"AirBoss delivered strong performance in 2025, highlighted by significant year-over-year growth in adjusted EBITDA, meaningful free cash flow generation and continued balance sheet improvement," said Chris Bitsakakis, President and Co-CEO of AirBoss. "Performance at AirBoss Manufactured Products was particularly strong, driven by ongoing deliveries under previously awarded defense contracts and improved results in the rubber molded products business, while AirBoss Rubber Solutions continued to face market softness across most sectors. As an organization, we remained focused on disciplined cost management, manufacturing footprint optimization and operational execution, while continuing to navigate economic and geopolitical uncertainty, including tariffs, inflationary pressures and ongoing volatility across certain customer sectors."

"Despite ongoing challenges, 2025 represented a marked improvement for AirBoss as we executed against our strategic priorities and strengthened our financial position," added Gren Schoch, Chairman and Co-CEO. "While the external economic environment remains uncertain, we continue to prioritize operational discipline and the successful conversion of key opportunities to support sustainable long-term growth."

Financial Results

Consolidated net sales for Q4 2025 increased by 15.3% to $106,037 compared with Q4 2024, with increases at Manufactured Products partially offset by Rubber Solutions. For 2025, consolidated net sales increased by 6.0% to $410,203 compared with 2024, primarily due to significant increased sales at Manufactured Products' defense products business and increases in the rubber molded products business partially offset by decreased sales at Rubber Solutions across most sectors.

Consolidated gross profit for Q4 2025 increased by $4,644 to $19,941, compared with Q4 2024, primarily as a result of increased sales at Manufactured Products. Consolidated gross profit for 2025 increased by $17,073 to $71,069 compared with 2024. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales increased to 17.3% for 2025 compared with 14.0% for 2024. The increase in margin percentage was driven primarily by margin improvements resulting from the new business awards at AMP's defense products business, by margin improvement at AMP's rubber molded products business, and a $6,049 inventory write-down in 2024 compared to a $249 write-down in 2025, partially offset by margin contraction in the Rubber Solutions segment due to unfavorable mix and lower volume across most customer sectors driven by market softness and economic uncertainty partially offset by managing controllable overhead costs and continuous improvement initiatives.

Adjusted EBITDA for Q4 2025 increased by 64.6%, compared to the same period in 2024 and increased by 55.1% for full-year 2025, compared with full-year 2024.
