Ampco‑Pittsburgh Corporation reported its fourth‑quarter and full‑year 2025 financial results, showing net sales of $108.8 million for the quarter and $434.2 million for the year, up 8.5 % and 4.1 % respectively from 2024. The company’s Air and Liquid Processing (ALP) segment drove the majority of the sales increase, while the Forged and Cast Engineered Products (FCEP) segment experienced a modest decline due to the shutdown of its UK cast‑roll facility.
The UK plant exit removed a $7‑$8 million annual EBITDA drag, improving FCEP profitability. Despite the loss of the UK facility, the company’s adjusted EBITDA rose to $3.2 million in Q4 from $6.0 million in Q4 2024, reflecting stronger ALP performance and cost discipline. GAAP net loss for the quarter was $57.7 million, or $2.85 per share, compared with a $0.16 EPS in Q4 2024. For the full year, GAAP net loss was $66.1 million, or $3.28 per share, versus a $0.02 EPS in 2024.
Management highlighted that the UK exit and the transfer of production to the Sweden facility are expected to generate an additional $7‑$8 million in annual EBITDA. CEO Brett McBrayer noted that early‑2026 order activity had increased 38 % year‑over‑year, underscoring momentum in the nuclear, defense, and pharmaceutical markets that support ALP growth. The company also emphasized a strengthened balance sheet, with $100 million of revolving credit capacity and $13.5 million in equipment financing available for ALP capacity expansion.
The company’s guidance for the remainder of 2025 was not materially changed from prior guidance, but management reiterated confidence in maintaining profitability through the strategic restructuring and continued demand in high‑growth markets. Analysts noted that the GAAP losses are largely attributable to one‑time restructuring charges and the UK plant shutdown, while adjusted EBITDA growth signals improving operating leverage.
Market reaction to the results was positive, with investors citing the successful exit from the UK facility and the robust ALP performance as key drivers of confidence in Ampco‑Pittsburgh’s future prospects.
