Key Points
- Hammond Power Solutions Inc (HMDPF) recorded revenue of $218 million in Q3 2025, marking it as the second-best quarter for shipments ever and a 14% increase compared to Q3 2024.
- The US market experienced strong growth, particularly in the private label channel and distribution channel, with significant sales into data centers, switch gear manufacturers, motor control, and mining.
- Order volume increased, growing the backlog by 28% compared to the beginning of the year, driven by the US distribution network and OEM business.
- Several large orders were received shortly after Q3 close, amounting to 53% of the total Q3 closing backlog, expected to be shipped from new facilities in Mexico over the next 12 to 18 months.
- The company is expanding its manufacturing capacity, with plans to add approximately $100 million of capacity to its two new Mexico facilities, bringing total manufacturing capacity to around $1.2 billion by 2027.
- Profitability for Q3 2025 remained below the prior year results, with a gross margin of 30.1%, mainly due to ongoing material cost pressures and overhead expenses associated with new facilities in Mexico.
- Changes to steel and aluminum derivative tariffs have negatively impacted margins, although pricing adjustments were implemented to offset these costs.
- The Canadian market showed weakness, with sales down by 3%, likely due to slower economic growth and greater uncertainty.
- Gross margin declined from 33.8% in Q3 2024 to 30.1% in Q3 2025, affected by higher input costs and unabsorbed overheads in newer factories in Mexico.
- Working capital requirements increased in Q3 2025, with inventory being the most significant factor due to delays in shipping of certain large projects and tariffs.
