Total revenue for the fourth quarter of 2025 reached $808.5 million, a 4.1 % year‑over‑year increase that exceeded the consensus estimate of $764.99 million by roughly $43.5 million. Adjusted earnings per share were $0.86, matching the upper end of analyst expectations of $0.85–$0.86 and representing a $0.01 or 1.2 % beat. Operating profit rose to $152.7 million, up 2.3 % from the same quarter a year earlier, while the adjusted operating profit margin fell to 21.3 % from 22.0 % in Q4 2024, a 70‑basis‑point decline rather than the increase originally reported.
The decline in margin was driven by a mix shift and one‑time costs. Environmental & Fueling Solutions sales grew 5.4 % and its margin improved 90 bps to 29.5 %, reflecting strong demand in convenience retail and fueling markets. Mobility Technologies sales increased 9.3 %, but its margin contracted 220 bps due to a one‑time reserve adjustment at Invenco. Repair Solutions sales fell 2.4 %, a decline attributed to macroeconomic pressures on legacy product demand.
Comparing to the prior year, Q4 2024 revenue was $776.8 million and adjusted EPS was $0.80. Full‑year 2024 sales totaled $2.979 billion with an adjusted EPS of $2.89. The current quarter’s 4.1 % revenue growth and 2.3 % operating profit increase represent an acceleration in top‑line momentum, while the margin contraction signals the impact of cost‑related items and a shift toward lower‑margin segments.
Management guided for full‑year 2026 sales of $3.10 billion to $3.15 billion and adjusted EPS of $3.35 to $3.50, a range that maintains the company’s confidence in continued demand and signals an expected margin expansion of roughly 80 bps. The guidance reflects a balanced view of growth prospects amid tariff headwinds and ongoing software platform consolidation.
Mark Morelli, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "Vontier delivered a strong finish to the year, marked by attractive topline performance and adjusted earnings per share growth of 11 percent on a full year basis. We made significant progress advancing our Connected Mobility strategy and simplifying our organization to increase customer‑centricity. We're entering 2026 with momentum, well positioned to capitalize on solid demand trends and secular tailwinds. We're confident in our ability to deliver on our outlook, including meaningful margin expansion, and will maintain a disciplined approach to capital deployment."
Anshooman Aga, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, added, "Total sales were $809 million, with core growth of 5%, reflecting disciplined operational performance and continued resilience across our end markets. Adjusted EPS was at the high end of our guide at $0.86, up 8% year‑over‑year. Adjusted operating profit margin was 21.3% on one‑time costs related to an Invenco inventory adjustment and higher healthcare claims."
