Original source text
Vontier NYSE: VNT reported second-quarter results that exceeded its expectations, with flat core sales, higher operating margins and an increase in its full-year adjusted earnings outlook. Management said demand remained healthy across much of its portfolio, particularly in convenience retail-facing businesses, while the company continued cost-reduction and portfolio-simplification initiatives.

Total sales were $757 million in the second quarter, while core sales were approximately flat from a year earlier. The comparison included approximately 11% core growth in the prior-year quarter, according to President and Chief Executive Officer Mark Morelli. Orders increased by low single digits and book-to-bill exceeded one, led by Mobility Technologies and Environmental and Fueling Solutions.

Get Vontier alerts:

Adjusted operating margin increased 190 basis points year over year. Chief Financial Officer Anshooman Aga said the result included a net benefit of approximately 120 basis points from one-time IEEPA tariff refunds related to inventory sold in the prior year. Excluding that benefit, underlying margin expanded 70 basis points, driven primarily by Mobility Technologies.

Aga also said the timing of Vontier’s Teletrac divestiture, which closed about one month later than assumed in the company’s original outlook, added an extra month of contribution during the quarter. After adjusting for both the divestiture timing and tariff refunds, management said results exceeded the high end of its original guidance range.

Environmental and Fueling Solutions Leads Growth Environmental and Fueling Solutions posted approximately 5% core sales growth in the quarter, supported by double-digit growth in global dispenser sales. Management cited continued customer investment in new equipment, upgrades and replacement activity, as well as demand for more advanced forecourt and payment technologies.

Morelli said convenience-store operators continue to invest in new sites, retrofits and modernization initiatives. He also pointed to industry consolidation, which he said is encouraging operators to standardize equipment across acquired locations.

The segment’s operating margin expanded 240 basis points, including a 220-basis-point benefit from tariff refunds. Vontier said it is nearing completion of an effort to reduce its number of dispenser platforms from 32 to eight, with the remaining rationalization expected in the second half of the year.

New payment products are also gaining adoption. Morelli said nearly one-quarter of new dispensers shipped during the quarter included the updated FlexPay 6 terminal, which launched late in the first quarter. The company expects adoption to increase as retailers seek more unified consumer payment experiences and simpler technology operations.

Vontier also highlighted its asset-management offerings, which combine connected hardware and software to remotely manage fueling equipment. Connected assets managed through its applications rose more than 20% year to date, and the company brought more than 2,000 sites online during the second quarter for several existing customers. Morelli said Kwik Trip reduced truck rolls for service events by more than 80% through deployment of Vontier’s asset-management platform across its forecourt.

Mobility Technologies Faces Comparison, Repair Margins Remain Under Pressure Mobility Technologies recorded a core sales decline due to a difficult comparison with elevated vehicle-identification solution shipments in the prior-year period. Aga said that comparison represented about $25 million, or a 10-point growth headwind. Excluding that factor, segment sales would have grown by mid-single digits.

Segment margin increased 190 basis points, including a 20-basis-point tariff-related benefit. Underlying Mobility Technologies margin expanded 170 basis points to approximately 21%.

Management said demand remains strong for integrated payment, point-of-sale and asset-management offerings. However, certain migrations from legacy car-wash technology to the cloud-connected Patheon software platform are taking longer than expected, partly due to permitting. Aga said those projects are still in the pipeline, but some are likely to move beyond the current year.

Repair Solutions’ same-store sales were essentially flat, reflecting stable demand but continued constraints on technician spending. Segment margin declined 180 basis points, despite a 130-basis-point tariff-refund benefit. The business faced unfavorable price and mix, along with targeted investments in sales and its leadership transition.

Morelli said Repair Solutions “is not performing where it needs to,” and Vontier has hired Cameron Richardson, formerly of NAPA Auto Parts, to lead the business. The company is focusing on supplier management, reducing supply-chain steps, SKU rationalization, inventory costs and changes to its district-management organization. Management expects Repair Solutions margins to be around 19% in the second half.

Cost Actions, Buybacks and EKOS Acquisition Vontier delivered approximately $4 million in year-over-year savings during the quarter and now expects to exceed its prior $15 million full-year cost-savings commitment. The company said roughly two-thirds of the planned savings are still expected in the second half.

The company has rationalized approximately 1,400 SKUs in the first half and began a multiyear platform-rationalization effort within Mobility Technologies. Management said it is also using simplification initiatives and AI tools to improve research and development efficiency and optimize its customer-service footprint.

Adjusted free cash flow was $98 million, representing approximately 80% conversion to adjusted net income and about 13% of sales. Vontier ended the quarter with more than $260 million in cash and net leverage of 2.3 times.

Supported by free cash flow and proceeds from the Teletrac sale, Vontier repurchased about 4 million shares for $130 million during the quarter. Year-to-date repurchases totaled just over 6 million shares for about $200 million. The company increased its share-repurchase authorization to $1 billion and said its outlook assumes about $250 million of buybacks for the full year.

After the quarter ended, Vontier completed its acquisition of EKOS for $43 million in cash plus a potential earn-out tied to future annual recurring revenue growth. EKOS provides fleet energy-management software and is expected to generate between $15 million and $17 million in revenue in 2027, primarily recurring revenue, with mid-teens or better margins, according to Aga. Morelli said the acquisition expands Vontier’s connected-mobility offering for private fleet fueling operations.

Full-Year EPS Outlook Raised For the third quarter, Vontier expects sales of $720 million to $735 million and core sales growth of approximately 5% at the midpoint. The company expects mid-single-digit or better growth in Environmental and Fueling Solutions and mid-single-digit growth in Mobility Technologies, along with adjusted EPS of $0.82 to $0.86.

For the full year, Vontier maintained its core growth assumption at approximately 3% at the midpoint but raised the midpoint of its sales outlook by about $10 million, reflecting acquisitions, divestitures and a modest foreign-exchange headwind. The company expects operating margin expansion of about 100 basis points to more than 22%.

Vontier raised full-year adjusted EPS guidance to $3.45 to $3.55, representing expected growth of 8% to 11% from the prior year. It maintained its adjusted free-cash-flow conversion outlook at 95%, or approximately 15% of sales.

Original source text
Vontier Corporation (VNT - Free Report) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.89 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.82 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.79 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.

This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of +8.54%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this company would post earnings of $0.82 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.8, delivering a surprise of -2.44%.

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

Vontier, which belongs to the Zacks Technology Services industry, posted revenues of $756.7 million for the quarter ended June 2026, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 5.41%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $773.5 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates just once over the last four quarters.

The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.

Vontier shares have lost about 9.6% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 12.8%.

What's Next for Vontier?While Vontier has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?

There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.

Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.

Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Vontier was mixed. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to perform in line with the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and the current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $0.86 on $800 million in revenues for the coming quarter and $3.39 on $3.11 billion in revenues for the current fiscal year.

Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Technology Services is currently in the bottom 38% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.

NextNav Inc. (NN - Free Report) , another stock in the same industry, has yet to report results for the quarter ended June 2026. The results are expected to be released on August 11.

This company is expected to post quarterly loss of $0.16 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +46.7%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 12% higher over the last 30 days to the current level.

NextNav Inc.'s revenues are expected to be $0.9 million, down 25% from the year-ago quarter.

RALEIGH, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Vontier Corporation (NYSE: VNT), a leading global provider of critical technologies and solutions to connect, manage and scale the mobility ecosystem, today announced results for the second quarter ended July 3, 2026.

Reported sales in the second quarter decreased 2.2% year-over-year to $756.7 million. Core sales decreased 0.2% as healthy demand for convenience retail solutions, including fueling, payment and asset management technologies, was offset by a year-over-year headwind related to shipment timing. Operating profit of $146.7 million increased 7.6% from the prior year, and operating profit margin increased approximately 180 basis points, to 19.4%. Adjusted operating profit of $173.8 million increased 6.4% from the prior year and adjusted operating profit margin increased 190 basis points to 23.0%. Net earnings were $27.4 million, and adjusted net earnings were $124.3 million, resulting in GAAP diluted net earnings per share of $0.20 and adjusted diluted net earnings per share of $0.89.

“Vontier delivered a solid second quarter, with results ahead of our expectations,” said Mark Morelli, President and Chief Executive Officer. “With solid bookings growth, a building pipeline supported by new product launches, and constructive end markets, we are confident in our growth outlook for the third quarter and balance of the year. We are also making measurable progress on our cost savings program, which is running ahead of plan. Our focus on disciplined execution and capital allocation has enabled us to increase our full-year adjusted EPS guidance and reflects our commitment to creating long-term shareholder value.”

RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
AND OTHER INFORMATION

Core Sales Growth

We define core sales growth as the change in total sales calculated according to GAAP but excluding (i) sales from acquired and certain divested businesses; (ii) the impact of currency translation; and (iii) certain other items.

References to sales attributable to acquisitions or acquired businesses refer to GAAP sales from acquired businesses recorded prior to the first anniversary of the acquisition less the amount of sales attributable to certain divested or exited businesses or product lines not considered discontinued operations. The portion of sales attributable to the impact of currency translation is calculated as the difference between (a) the period-to-period change in sales (excluding sales from acquired businesses) and (b) the period-to-period change in sales, including foreign operations, (excluding sales from acquired businesses) after applying the current period foreign exchange rates to the prior year period. The portion of sales attributable to other items is calculated as the impact of those items which are not directly correlated to core sales which do not have an impact on the current or comparable period. Core sales growth should be considered in addition to, and not as a replacement for or superior to, total sales, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Management believes that reporting the non-GAAP financial measure of core sales growth provides useful information to investors by helping identify underlying growth trends in our business and facilitating easier comparisons of our sales performance with our performance in prior and future periods and to our peers. We exclude the effect of acquisitions and certain divestiture-related items because the nature, size and number of such transactions can vary dramatically from period to period and between us and our peers. We exclude the effect of currency translation and certain other items from core sales because these items are either not under management’s control or relate to items not directly correlated to core sales growth. Management believes the exclusion of these items from core sales growth may facilitate assessment of underlying business trends and may assist in comparisons of long-term performance.

Adjusted Operating Profit and Adjusted Operating Profit Margin

Adjusted operating profit refers to operating profit calculated in accordance with GAAP, but excluding amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, costs associated with restructurings including one-time termination benefits and related charges and impairment and other charges associated with facility closure, contract termination and other related activities, and the related impact of certain divested or exited businesses or product lines not considered discontinued operations (“Restructuring- and divestiture-related adjustments”), transaction- and deal-related costs, asbestos-related adjustments associated with certain divested businesses, one-time costs related to the separation, amortization of acquisition-related inventory fair value step-up, gains and losses on sale of property, and other charges which represent charges incurred that are not part of our core operating results (“Other charges”). Adjusted operating profit margin refers to adjusted operating profit divided by GAAP sales.

Adjusted Net Earnings and Adjusted Diluted Net Earnings per Share

Adjusted net earnings refers to net earnings calculated in accordance with GAAP, but excluding on a pretax basis amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, Restructuring- and divestiture-related adjustments, transaction- and deal-related costs, asbestos-related adjustments associated with certain divested businesses, one-time costs related to the separation, amortization of acquisition-related inventory fair value step-up, gains and losses on sale of property, Other charges, non-cash write-offs of deferred financing costs, gains and losses on sale of businesses and gains and losses on investments, including the tax effect of these adjustments and other tax adjustments. The tax effect of such adjustments was calculated by applying our estimated adjusted effective tax rate to the pretax amount of each adjustment. Adjusted diluted net earnings per share refers to adjusted net earnings divided by the weighted average diluted shares outstanding.

Free Cash Flow, Adjusted Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow Conversion

Free cash flow refers to cash flow from operations calculated according to GAAP but excluding capital expenditures. Adjusted free cash flow refers to free cash flow adjusted for cash received from the sale of property, plant and equipment and cash paid for Restructuring- and divestiture-related adjustments, transaction- and deal-related costs and Other charges. Adjusted free cash flow conversion refers to adjusted free cash flow divided by adjusted net earnings.

Net Leverage Ratio, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA refers to net earnings calculated in accordance with GAAP, excluding interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets. Adjusted EBITDA refers to EBITDA adjusted for Restructuring- and divestiture-related adjustments, transaction- and deal-related costs, asbestos-related adjustments associated with certain divested businesses, one-time costs related to the separation, amortization of acquisition-related inventory fair value step-up, gains and losses on sale of property, Other charges, non-cash write-offs of deferred financing costs, gains and losses on sale of businesses and gains and losses on investments. Net leverage ratio refers to net debt divided by Adjusted EBITDA.

Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors by reflecting additional ways of viewing aspects of our operations that, when reconciled to the corresponding GAAP measure, help our investors to understand the long-term profitability trends of our business, and facilitate comparisons of our profitability to prior and future periods and to our peers.

These non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a replacement for or superior to, the comparable GAAP measures, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

A reconciliation of each of the projected Core Sales Growth, Adjusted Operating Profit Margin, Adjusted Diluted Net Earnings Per Share and Adjusted Free Cash Flow Conversion, which are forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures, to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, is not provided because the company is unable to provide such reconciliation without unreasonable effort. The inability to provide each reconciliation is due to the unpredictability of the amounts and timing of events affecting the items we exclude from the non-GAAP measure.
