Bel Reports First Quarter 2025 Results

WEST ORANGE, N.J., April 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bel Fuse Inc. (Nasdaq: BELFA and BELFB) today announced preliminary financial results for the first quarter of 2025. First Quarter 2025 Highlights •Net sales of $152.2 million compared to $128.1 million in Q1-24. Excluding $32.4 million of contribution from Enercon, organic sales down 6.4% from Q1-24.•Gross profit margin of 38.6%, up from 37.5% in Q1-24•GAAP net earnings attributable to Bel shareholders of $17.9 million versus $15.9 million in Q1-24•Non-GAAP net earnings attributable to Bel shareholders of $16.8 million versus $17.0 million in Q1-24•Adjusted EBITDA of $30.9 million (20.3% of sales) as compared to $22.4 million (17.5% of sales) in Q1-24•Announced Farouq Tuweiq's appointment as Bel’s President and CEO, to be effective immediately following the Company’s Annual Meeting of Shareholders (to be held in May 2025) “We are pleased with our first quarter results, which benefitted from our increased exposure within the defense and commercial aerospace industries and strength in the emerging AI end market,” said Daniel Bernstein, President and CEO. “These factors helped to mitigate the seasonality around Chinese New Year which has historically dictated the trend for our first quarter. Looking ahead at our underlying business demand, we generally expect continued strength in the defense, space and AI end markets throughout the year, which are anticipated to mitigate lower volumes going into the rail, e-Mobility and consumer markets,” concluded Mr. Bernstein. Farouq Tuweiq, CFO, added, “Looking to the second quarter, we are operating in a highly dynamic environment and there is difficulty in predicting the moving target of tariffs and assessing the corresponding impact given ongoing and potential future changes. As Bel generally designs and manufactures its products within close geographic proximity to our customers, we estimate that approximately 75% of our global sales are not currently subject to the recent U.S. tariffs that have been imposed. We estimate that ~10% of our consolidated sales relate to product that is manufactured in China and shipped into the U.S., and this is the subset of our revenue where certain customers have requested a pause on orders while the supply chain awaits additional clarity on the longer-term tariff policy with China. Based on information available today, GAAP net sales in the second quarter of 2025 are projected to be in the range of $145 to $155 million, with gross margin in the range of 37% to 39%. This guidance for the second quarter, which is typically solely based on our underlying business demand and existing orders on hand, has been modified downward to take into account approximately $8-10 million of what we believe is a reasonable allowance for potential downside impact from China-related tariffs and a lower expected volume of intraquarter turns. The team will continue to closely monitor the evolving tariff landscape and assess potential alternatives that are within our control,” concluded Mr. Tuweiq. Mr. Bernstein continued, “With my upcoming transition to the role of non-executive Chairman of the Board in May, it has been a privilege to be part of Bel’s journey over the past 45 years. The success of the Company is based solely on the dedication of all of our associates, past and present, and it has been an honor to lead such a talented group of associates during my tenure as President and CEO. I am confident about Bel’s future under the leadership of Farouq and the Executive team,” concluded Mr. Bernstein. Non-GAAP financial measures, such as Non-GAAP net earnings attributable to Bel shareholders, Non-GAAP EPS, Non-GAAP Operating Income and Adjusted EBITDA, adjust corresponding GAAP measures for provision for income taxes, other income/expense, net, interest income/expense, and depreciation and amortization, and also exclude, where applicable for the covered period presented in the financial statements, certain unusual or special items identified by management such as restructuring charges, gains/losses on sales of businesses and properties, acquisition related costs, impairment charges, noncontrolling interest ("NCI") adjustments from fair value to redemption value, and certain litigation costs. In addition, in the fourth quarter of 2024, we modified our presentation of Non-GAAP financial measures, including revising our definitions of Adjusted EBITDA and Non-GAAP EPS, to additionally exclude from these Non-GAAP measures (i) stock-based compensation, (ii) amortization of intangibles (which primarily relates to the amortization of finite-lived customer relationships and technology associated with the Company's historical acquisitions, including those associated with the recent acquisition of Enercon), and (iii) unrealized foreign currency exchange (gains) losses. We believe this change enhances investor insight into our operational performance. We have applied this modified definition of Adjusted EBITDA and Non-GAAP EPS to all periods presented. Please refer to the financial information included with this press release for reconciliations of GAAP financial measures to Non-GAAP financial measures and our explanation of why we present Non-GAAP financial measures.

Forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which involve factors or circumstances that are beyond Bel’s control. Bel’s actual results could differ materially from those stated or implied in our forward-looking statements (including without limitation any of Bel’s projections) due to a number of factors, including but not limited to, difficulties associated with integrating previously acquired companies, including any unanticipated difficulties, or unexpected or higher than anticipated expenditures, relating to Bel's November 2024 acquisition of Enercon, and including, without limitation, the risk that Bel is unable to integrate the Enercon business successfully or difficulties that result in the failure to realize the expected benefits and synergies within the expected time period (if at all); the possibility that the Bel’s intended acquisition of the remaining 20% stake in Enercon is not completed in accordance with the shareholders agreement as contemplated for any reason, and any resulting disruptions to Bel’s business and its currently 80% owned Enercon subsidiary as a result thereof; trends in demand which can affect Bel's products and results, including that demand in Enercon’s end markets can be cyclical, impacting the demand for Enercon’s products, which could be materially adversely affected by reductions in defense spending; the market concerns facing Bel's customers, and risks for the Company’s business in the event of the loss of certain substantial customers; the continuing viability of sectors that rely on Bel's products; the effects of business and economic conditions, and challenges impacting the macroeconomic environment generally and/or Bel's industry in particular; the effects of rising input costs, and cost changes generally, including the potential impact of inflationary pressures; capacity and supply constraints or difficulties, including supply chain constraints or other challenges; the impact of public health crises; difficulties associated with the availability of labor, and the risks of any labor unrest or labor shortages; risks associated with Bel's international operations, including Bel's substantial manufacturing operations in China, and following Bel’s November 2024 acquisition of Enercon , risks associated with operations in Israel, which may be adversely affected by political or economic instability, major hostilities or acts of terrorism in the region; risks associated with restructuring programs or other strategic initiatives, including any difficulties in implementation or realization of the expected benefits or cost savings; product development, commercialization or technological difficulties; the regulatory and trade environment including the potential effects of the imposition of new or increased tariffs and trade restrictions that may impact Bel, its customers and/or its suppliers, and risks associated with the evolving trade environment, the ongoing implementation and modification of tariffs, trade restrictions, and changes in trade agreements, and general uncertainty about future changes in trade and tariff policy; risks associated with fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates; uncertainties associated with legal proceedings; the market's acceptance of the Company's new products and competitive responses to those new products; the impact of changes to U.S. and applicable foreign legal and regulatory requirements, including tax laws, trade and tariff policies, such as any new or increase in tariffs imposed either by the U.S. government on foreign imports or by a foreign government on U.S. exports related to the countries in which Bel transacts business; and the risks detailed in Bel’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 and in subsequent reports filed by Bel with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as other documents that may be filed by Bel from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In light of the risks and uncertainties impacting Bel's business, there can be no assurance that any forward-looking statement will in fact prove to be correct. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. The forward-looking statements included in this press release represent Bel’s views as of the date of this press release. Bel anticipates that subsequent events and developments will cause its views to change. Bel undertakes no intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing Bel’s views as of any date subsequent to the date of this press release. Non-GAAP Financial Measures The Non-GAAP financial measures identified in this press release as well as in the supplementary information to this press release (Non-GAAP net earnings attributable to Bel shareholders, Non-GAAP EPS, Non-GAAP Operating Income and Adjusted EBITDA) are not measures of performance under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). These measures should not be considered a substitute for, and the reader should also consider, income from operations, net earnings, earnings per share and other measures of performance as defined by GAAP as indicators of our performance or profitability. Our non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to other similarly-titled captions of other companies due to differences in the method of calculation. We present results adjusted to exclude the effects of certain unusual or special items and their related tax impact that would otherwise be included under U.S. GAAP, to aid in comparisons with other periods. We believe that these non-GAAP measures of financial results provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to our financial condition and results of operations. We use these non-GAAP measures to compare the Company’s performance to that of prior periods for trend analysis and for budgeting and planning purposes. We also believe that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing the Company’s financial measures with other similarly situated companies in our industry, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. We also use non-GAAP measures in determining incentive compensation. For additional information about our use of non-GAAP financial measures in connection with our Incentive Compensation Program, please see the Executive Compensation Discussion and Analysis (CD&A) section appearing in our Definitive Proxy Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 11, 2025.
