Adjusted EPS climbs 63%. Myers Industries (NYSE: MYE) reported adjusted EPS of $0.31 for Q4 2025, up 63% from $0.19 in the year-ago quarter. GAAP EPS came in at $0.30. The packaging and containers manufacturer delivered net income of $11.3 million as adjusted EBITDA reached $32.1 million, reflecting the early payoff from its Focused Transformation program launched a year ago.

Revenue holds flat despite facility closures. Q4 revenue of $204 million was essentially unchanged year over year. Excluding the impact of exiting low-margin products and idling two rotational molding facilities in Alliance, Ohio, sales would have increased 3% as growth in infrastructure, industrial, and food and beverage markets offset soft consumer and vehicle demand. For full-year 2025, revenue totaled $825.7 million, down 1.3% from the prior year, with material handling growth offset by distribution softness.

Margin expansion drives profitability gains. CEO Aaron Schapper highlighted the transformation progress: “We delivered annualized cost savings of $20 million, primarily in SG&A, structurally reducing expenses while also optimizing organizational efficiency.” Adjusted operating margin expanded 230 basis points to 11% in Q4 as the company benefited from favorable mix and higher volume. CFO Sam Rutty noted the structural nature of the improvements: “We’ve made that structural change in our cost base,” adding that the company continues to focus on cost reductions and operating efficiencies to drive sustainable profitability. Material handling adjusted EBITDA margin reached 25.6%, expanding 290 basis points year over year.

Infrastructure backlog hits record high. The company’s ground protection matting business entered 2026 with its largest backlog in history, driven by ongoing utility projects, data center construction, and conversion from wood to composite matting. Management expects strong growth in infrastructure markets to continue, supported by mega build-outs tied to AI infrastructure investment. Free cash flow improved 23% to $67.2 million for the full year, enabling the company to reduce net debt by $44.2 million and return $23 million to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases. The company ended 2025 with a net leverage ratio of 2.4, within its target range of 1.5 to 2.5.

What to Watch: The planned divestiture of Myers Tire Supply, expected to qualify for discontinued operations treatment beginning Q1 2026, will reshape the company’s portfolio toward higher-margin growth platforms. Monitor the transaction’s completion timeline and management’s capital deployment plans for the proceeds.
