Net income for the second quarter was $86.1 million, or $1.40 per diluted share, compared to $71.4 million, or $1.16 per diluted share, in the prior-year quarter.

The Company also reported adjusted net income for the second quarter of $87.5 million, or $1.42 per diluted share, compared to $71.9 million, or $1.17 per diluted share, in the prior-year quarter. The Company is reporting adjusted results to facilitate comparisons of underlying performance on a year-over-year basis. A reconciliation of these and other non-GAAP measures is provided at the conclusion of this news release.

Double-Digit Year-over-Year Net Sales and Operating Income Growth and 18% Increase in Orders in Record-Setting Second Quarter

"In what is typically a seasonally-strong period, our businesses were able to deliver 19% year-over-year net sales growth, 21% operating income improvement, an 18% increase in orders, gross margin expansion, and a 60-basis point increase in adjusted EBITDA margin during a record-setting second quarter," commented Jennifer L. Sherman, President and Chief Executive Officer. "These results underscore the resilience and durability of our business model, the momentum behind our growth initiatives, and the unwavering commitment of our teams. Within our Environmental Solutions Group, orders were up 24% year-over-year, including high-single-digit organic growth, while net sales and adjusted EBITDA increased by 20% and 25%, respectively, with contributions from recent acquisitions, higher sales of our aftermarket offerings, and proactive management of price/cost dynamics representing meaningful year-over-year growth drivers. Our Safety and Security Systems Group also delivered impressive results, with 10% top-line growth and an adjusted EBITDA margin of approximately 25%."

In the Environmental Solutions Group, net sales for the second quarter were $578 million, up $97 million, or 20%, compared to the prior-year quarter. In the Safety and Security Systems Group, net sales were $93 million, up $8 million, or 10%, compared to the prior-year quarter.

Consolidated operating income for the second quarter was $118.2 million, up $20.5 million, or 21%, compared to the prior-year quarter. Consolidated operating margin for the second quarter was 17.6%, up from 17.3% in the prior-year quarter.

Consolidated adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization ("adjusted EBITDA") for the second quarter was $144.4 million, up $26.2 million, or 22%, compared to the prior-year quarter, and consolidated adjusted EBITDA margin was 21.5%, up from 20.9% in the prior-year quarter.

In the Environmental Solutions Group, adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter was $138.3 million, up $27.5 million, or 25%, compared to the prior-year quarter, and its adjusted EBITDA margin was 23.9%, up from 23.1% last year. In the Safety and Security Systems Group, adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter was $23.2 million, up $0.6 million, or 3%, compared to the prior-year quarter, and its adjusted EBITDA margin was 25.1%, compared to 26.9% last year.

Consolidated orders for the second quarter were $637 million, an increase of $97 million, or 18%, compared to the prior-year quarter. Consolidated backlog at June 30, 2026 was $1.00 billion, compared to $1.08 billion in the prior-year quarter.

Increased Operating Cash Flow Provides Flexibility to Fund M&A, Organic Growth Opportunities, and Cash Returns to Stockholders

Net cash provided by operating activities during the second quarter was $113 million, an increase of $53 million, or 89%, from the prior-year quarter.

At June 30, 2026, total outstanding debt was $454 million, total cash and cash equivalents were $63 million, and the Company had $1.04 billion of availability for borrowings under its credit facility.

"Our operating cash flow generation during the quarter was outstanding, enabling us to pay down approximately $97 million of debt during the quarter," said Sherman. "With the increased cash generation and available capacity under our credit facility, we have significant financial flexibility to invest in organic growth initiatives, pursue additional strategic acquisitions, pay down debt, and provide returns to stockholders through dividends and opportunistic stock repurchases."

The Company funded dividends of $9.1 million during the second quarter, reflecting a dividend of $0.15 per share, and recently announced a similar $0.15 per share dividend that will be payable in the third quarter of 2026.

Outlook

"Demand for our products and our aftermarket offerings remains strong overall, with our second quarter orders up 18% year-over-year," noted Sherman. "With our second quarter performance, our current backlog, and continued execution against our strategic initiatives, we are raising our full-year adjusted EPS* outlook to a new range of $5.12 to $5.30, from the prior range of $4.80 to $5.05. We are also increasing our full-year net sales outlook to a new range of between $2.58 billion and $2.67 billion, from the prior range of between $2.57 billion and $2.66 billion."

This release contains unaudited financial information and various forward-looking statements as of the date hereof and we undertake no obligation to update these forward-looking statements regardless of new developments or otherwise. Statements in this release that are not historical are forward-looking statements. Forward looking statements should not be relied upon as a predictor of actual results. Such statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to vary materially from those stated. Such risks and uncertainties include but are not limited to: economic and political uncertainty, risks and adverse economic effects associated with geopolitical conflicts including tariffs and other trade conflicts, legal and regulatory developments, foreign currency exchange rate changes, inflationary pressures, product and price competition, supply chain disruptions, availability and pricing of raw materials, interest rate changes, risks associated with acquisitions such as integration of operations and achieving anticipated revenue and cost benefits, work stoppages, increases in pension funding requirements, cybersecurity risks, increased legal expenses and litigation results, and other risks and uncertainties described in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

* Adjusted earnings per share ("EPS") is a non-GAAP measure, which includes certain adjustments to reported GAAP net income and diluted EPS. In the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, we made adjustments to exclude the impact of acquisition and integration-related expenses, net, purchase accounting effects, and certain special income tax items, where applicable. In prior years, we have also made adjustments to exclude the impact of pension-related charges, debt settlement charges, and certain other unusual or non-recurring items. Should any similar items occur in the remainder of 2026, we would expect to exclude them from the determination of adjusted EPS. However, because of the underlying uncertainty in quantifying amounts which may not yet be known, a reconciliation of our Adjusted EPS outlook to the most applicable GAAP measure is excluded based on the unreasonable efforts exception in Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B).

SEC REGULATION G NON-GAAP RECONCILIATION

The financial measures presented below are unaudited and are not in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). The non-GAAP financial information presented herein should be considered supplemental to, and not a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. The Company has provided this supplemental information to investors, analysts, and other interested parties to enable them to perform additional analyses of operating results, to illustrate the results of operations giving effect to the non-GAAP adjustments shown in the reconciliations below, and to provide an additional measure of performance which management considers in operating the business.

Adjusted Net Income and Earnings Per Share ("EPS"):

The Company believes that modifying its 2026 and 2025 net income and diluted EPS provides additional measures to assist it in comparing its performance on a consistent basis for purposes of business decision making by removing the impact of certain items that management believes are not representative of its underlying performance and to improve the comparability of results across reporting periods. Adjusted net income and Adjusted EPS are both non-GAAP measures. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 adjustments were made to reported GAAP net income and diluted EPS to exclude the impact of acquisition and integration-related expenses, net, purchase accounting effects, and certain special income tax items, where applicable.

Purchase accounting effects in the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 relate to adjustments to exclude the step-up in the valuation of inventory acquired in connection with acquisitions that was sold subsequent to the acquisition date and the depreciation of the step-up in the valuation of acquired rental equipment, where applicable. Such costs are included as a component of Cost of sales on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

(b)

Adjusted income tax expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 was recomputed after excluding the tax impacts of acquisition and integration-related expenses, net, and purchase accounting effects.

(c)

Adjusted income tax expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 was recomputed after excluding the tax impacts of acquisition and integration-related expenses, net, and purchase accounting effects. Adjusted income tax expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 also excludes a $0.2 million discrete tax benefit recognized in connection with the amendment of certain state tax returns to claim a worthless stock deduction.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin:

The Company uses adjusted EBITDA and the ratio of adjusted EBITDA to net sales ("adjusted EBITDA margin"), at both the consolidated and segment level, as additional measures to assist in comparing its performance on a consistent basis for purposes of business decision making by removing the impact of certain items that management believes are not representative of its underlying performance and to improve the comparability of results across reporting periods. We believe that investors use versions of these metrics in a similar manner. For these reasons, the Company believes that adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin, at both the consolidated and segment level, are meaningful metrics to investors in evaluating the Company's underlying financial performance.

Consolidated adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure that represents the total of net income, interest expense, net, acquisition and integration-related expenses, net, purchase accounting effects, other expense, net, income tax expense, and depreciation and amortization expense, as applicable. Consolidated adjusted EBITDA margin is a non-GAAP measure that represents the total of net income, interest expense, net, acquisition and integration-related expenses, net, purchase accounting effects, other expense, net, income tax expense, and depreciation and amortization expense, as applicable, divided by net sales for the applicable period(s).

Segment adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure that represents the total of segment operating income, acquisition and integration-related expenses, net, purchase accounting effects, and depreciation and amortization expense, as applicable. Segment adjusted EBITDA margin is a non-GAAP measure that represents the total of segment operating income, acquisition and integration-related expenses, net, purchase accounting effects, and depreciation and amortization expense, as applicable, divided by segment net sales for the applicable period(s). Segment operating income includes all revenues, costs, and expenses directly related to the segment involved. In determining segment operating income, neither corporate nor interest expenses are included. Segment depreciation and amortization expense relates to those assets, both tangible and intangible, that are utilized by the respective segment.

Other companies may use different methods to calculate adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin.

Federal Signal čeká růst EPS i tržeb

FMP Stock News 78

Wall Street expects a year-over-year increase in earnings on higher revenues when Federal Signal (FSS - Free Report) reports results for the quarter ended June 2026. While this widely-known consensus outlook is important in gauging the company's earnings picture, a powerful factor that could impact its near-term stock price is how the actual results compare to these estimates.

The stock might move higher if these key numbers top expectations in the upcoming earnings report, which is expected to be released on July 30. On the other hand, if they miss, the stock may move lower.

While management's discussion of business conditions on the earnings call will mostly determine the sustainability of the immediate price change and future earnings expectations, it's worth having a handicapping insight into the odds of a positive EPS surprise.

Zacks Consensus EstimateThis company that makes products ranging from street sweepers to toll booth technology for government, industrial and commercial customers is expected to post quarterly earnings of $1.28 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +9.4%.

Revenues are expected to be $669.62 million, up 18.6% from the year-ago quarter.

Estimate Revisions TrendThe consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 0.13% higher over the last 30 days to the current level. This is essentially a reflection of how the covering analysts have collectively reassessed their initial estimates over this period.

Investors should keep in mind that the direction of estimate revisions by each of the covering analysts may not always get reflected in the aggregate change.

Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise

Earnings WhisperEstimate revisions ahead of a company's earnings release offer clues to the business conditions for the period whose results are coming out. Our proprietary surprise prediction model -- the Zacks Earnings ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction) -- has this insight at its core.

The Zacks Earnings ESP compares the Most Accurate Estimate to the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter; the Most Accurate Estimate is a more recent version of the Zacks Consensus EPS estimate. The idea here is that analysts revising their estimates right before an earnings release have the latest information, which could potentially be more accurate than what they and others contributing to the consensus had predicted earlier.

Thus, a positive or negative Earnings ESP reading theoretically indicates the likely deviation of the actual earnings from the consensus estimate. However, the model's predictive power is significant for positive ESP readings only.

A positive Earnings ESP is a strong predictor of an earnings beat, particularly when combined with a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold). Our research shows that stocks with this combination produce a positive surprise nearly 70% of the time, and a solid Zacks Rank actually increases the predictive power of Earnings ESP.

Please note that a negative Earnings ESP reading is not indicative of an earnings miss. Our research shows that it is difficult to predict an earnings beat with any degree of confidence for stocks with negative Earnings ESP readings and/or Zacks Rank of 4 (Sell) or 5 (Strong Sell).

How Have the Numbers Shaped Up for Federal Signal?For Federal Signal, the Most Accurate Estimate is higher than the Zacks Consensus Estimate, suggesting that analysts have recently become bullish on the company's earnings prospects. This has resulted in an Earnings ESP of +0.55%.

On the other hand, the stock currently carries a Zacks Rank of #2.

So, this combination indicates that Federal Signal will most likely beat the consensus EPS estimate.

Does Earnings Surprise History Hold Any Clue?While calculating estimates for a company's future earnings, analysts often consider to what extent it has been able to match past consensus estimates. So, it's worth taking a look at the surprise history for gauging its influence on the upcoming number.

For the last reported quarter, it was expected that Federal Signal would post earnings of $0.89 per share when it actually produced earnings of $1.18, delivering a surprise of +32.58%.

Over the last four quarters, the company has beaten consensus EPS estimates four times.

Bottom LineAn earnings beat or miss may not be the sole basis for a stock moving higher or lower. Many stocks end up losing ground despite an earnings beat due to other factors that disappoint investors. Similarly, unforeseen catalysts help a number of stocks gain despite an earnings miss.

That said, betting on stocks that are expected to beat earnings expectations does increase the odds of success. This is why it's worth checking a company's Earnings ESP and Zacks Rank ahead of its quarterly release. Make sure to utilize our Earnings ESP Filter to uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they've reported.

Federal Signal appears a compelling earnings-beat candidate. However, investors should pay attention to other factors too for betting on this stock or staying away from it ahead of its earnings release.

An Industry Player's Expected ResultsAnother stock from the Zacks Automotive - Domestic industry, Paccar (PCAR - Free Report) , is soon expected to post earnings of $1.33 per share for the quarter ended June 2026. This estimate indicates a year-over-year change of -2.9%. Revenues for the quarter are expected to be $7.1 billion, up 2% from the year-ago quarter.

Over the last 30 days, the consensus EPS estimate for Paccar has been revised 2.6% up to the current level. Nevertheless, the company now has an Earnings ESP of -0.05%, reflecting a lower Most Accurate Estimate.

This Earnings ESP, combined with its Zacks Rank #3 (Hold), makes it difficult to conclusively predict that Paccar will beat the consensus EPS estimate. Over the last four quarters, the company surpassed consensus EPS estimates two times.

Federal Signal na maximu po čtyřech překvapeních zisku
FSS Federal Signal Corporation
FMP Stock News 72
Original source text
Have you been paying attention to shares of Federal Signal (FSS - Free Report) ? Shares have been on the move with the stock up 25.2% over the past month. The stock hit a new 52-week high of $134.51 in the previous session. Federal Signal has gained 23.3% since the start of the year compared to the -5.2% move for the Zacks Auto-Tires-Trucks sector and the -4.4% return for the Zacks Automotive - Domestic industry.

What's Driving the Outperformance?The stock has an impressive record of positive earnings surprises, having beaten the Zacks Consensus Estimate in each of the last four quarters. In its last earnings report on April 29, 2026, Federal Signal reported EPS of $1.18 versus consensus estimate of $0.89.

For the current fiscal year, Federal Signal is expected to post earnings of $4.94 per share on $2.63 in revenues. This represents a 16.78% change in EPS on a 20.65% change in revenues. For the next fiscal year, the company is expected to earn $5.52 per share on $2.8 in revenues. This represents a year-over-year change of 11.71% and 6.55%, respectively.

Valuation MetricsFederal Signal may be at a 52-week high right now, but what might the future hold for the stock? A key aspect of this question is taking a look at valuation metrics in order to determine if the company is due for a pullback from this level.

On this front, we can look at the Zacks Style Scores, as these give investors a variety of ways to comb through stocks (beyond looking at the Zacks Rank of a security). The individual style scores for Value, Growth, Momentum and the combined VGM Score run from A through F. Investors should consider the style scores a valuable tool that can help you to pick the most appropriate Zacks Rank stocks based on their individual investment style.

Federal Signal has a Value Score of D. The stock's Growth and Momentum Scores are A and A, respectively, giving the company a VGM Score of A.

In terms of its value breakdown, the stock currently trades at 27.1X current fiscal year EPS estimates, which is a premium to the peer industry average of 18.9X. On a trailing cash flow basis, the stock currently trades at 23.9X versus its peer group's average of 8.3X. Additionally, the stock has a PEG ratio of 1.93. This isn't enough to put the company in the top echelon of all stocks we cover from a value perspective.

Zacks RankWe also need to consider the stock's Zacks Rank, as this supersedes any trend on the style score front. Fortunately, Federal Signal currently has a Zacks Rank of #2 (Buy) thanks to rising earnings estimates.

Since we recommend that investors select stocks carrying Zacks Rank of 1 (Strong Buy) or 2 (Buy) and Style Scores of A or B, it looks as if Federal Signal passes the test. Thus, it seems as though Federal Signal shares could still be poised for more gains ahead.
