How did Mettler-Toledo perform in the fourth quarter of 2025?

Reported sales rose 8% to $1.130 billion, and local currency sales rose 5%. GAAP diluted EPS was $13.98 versus $11.96, including a $0.95 per share non-cash discrete tax benefit. Adjusted EPS was $13.36, up 8% from $12.41, and Adjusted Operating Profit was $363.0 million versus $351.9 million.

What is the company's outlook for 2026?

Management anticipates full-year 2026 local currency sales growth of approximately 4% and Adjusted EPS of $46.05 to $46.70, representing growth of approximately 8% to 9%. This compares with prior Adjusted EPS guidance of $45.35 to $46.00. For the first quarter of 2026, it expects local currency sales growth of approximately 3% and Adjusted EPS of $8.60 to $8.75. Management cautions that market conditions are uncertain and could change quickly.

Why did Adjusted Operating Profit decline in 2025 while Adjusted EPS grew?

Adjusted Operating Profit for 2025 was $1.193 billion, compared with $1.200 billion in 2024, while Adjusted EPS rose 4% to $42.73. The filing does not attribute the difference to a specific cause. Adjusted EPS excludes items such as amortization of purchased intangibles, restructuring charges, and discrete tax items, and it reflects lower share count, as diluted weighted average shares fell to 20,671,708 from 21,320,641.

How strong was the company's cash generation in 2025?

Net cash provided by operating activities was $955.8 million in 2025, compared with $968.3 million in 2024. Adjusted Free Cash Flow was $877.5 million, compared with $900.6 million. The company also repurchased $800.0 million of common stock during 2025.

What is the difference between GAAP and non-GAAP results in this report?

Adjusted EPS excludes non-recurring discrete tax items, amortization of purchased intangibles, restructuring charges, and certain one-time charges, net of tax. For Q4 2025, GAAP diluted EPS of $13.98 included a $0.95 per share non-cash discrete tax benefit, which is excluded from Adjusted EPS. The company's reconciliation tables in the press release show each adjustment.
