AMETEK Announces Record Fourth Quarter and Full Year Results

Berwyn, Pa., February 3, 2026 – AMETEK, Inc. (NYSE: AME) today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2025.

AMETEK’s fourth quarter 2025 sales were a record $2.0 billion, a 13% increase over the fourth quarter of 2024. On a GAAP basis, fourth quarter earnings were a record $1.73 per diluted share. Adjusted earnings in the quarter were a record $2.01 per diluted share, up 7% from the fourth quarter of 2024. Adjusted earnings adds back non-cash, after-tax, acquisition-related intangible amortization of $0.22 per diluted share and excludes acquisition-related pre-tax costs of $17.6 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, for the Faro Technologies acquisition.

GAAP operating income was a record $505.5 million. Adjusted operating income was a record $523.0 million, up 12% versus last year’s fourth quarter. Operating cash flow in the quarter was a record $584.3 million, free cash flow was a record $527.3 million, and free cash flow to net income conversion was 132%.

"AMETEK’s fourth quarter and full year results were outstanding,” stated David A. Zapico, AMETEK Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "Contributions from strong organic sales growth, recent acquisitions, and tremendous operating performance, led to excellent core margin expansion and impressive cash flow conversion. These record results reflect the proven strength and durability of our operating model and the outstanding contributions from our colleagues."

For the full year, sales were $7.4 billion, an increase of 7% over 2024. On a GAAP basis, full year 2025 earnings per diluted share were $6.40. Full year adjusted earnings were $7.43 per diluted share, up 9% versus the prior year. Adjusted earnings for the full year adds back non-cash, after-tax acquisition-related intangible amortization of $0.91 per diluted share and excludes acquisition-related pre-tax costs of $37.3 million, or $0.12 per diluted share.

Full year GAAP operating income was $1.91 billion. Full year adjusted operating income was $1.94 billion, up 7% versus last year, with 26.2% adjusted operating margins. AMETEK established annual records for sales, operating profit, operating margin, EBITDA, EBITDA margin, and both GAAP and adjusted earnings per share.

A reconciliation of reported GAAP results to adjusted results is included in the financial tables accompanying this release and on the AMETEK website.

Electronic Instruments Group (EIG)
EIG sales in the fourth quarter were a record $1.37 billion, an increase of 13% over the same period in 2024. On a GAAP basis, EIG’s fourth quarter operating income was a record $396.1 million, or 28.9% of sales. Adjusted EIG operating income was a record $413.7 million, up 7% from the prior year.

"EIG delivered excellent results in the fourth quarter,” commented Mr. Zapico. “The double-digit sales growth was driven by positive organic sales growth and contributions from recent acquisitions. EIG delivered strong operating performance in the quarter resulting in record operating income and 50 basis points of core margin expansion.”

Electromechanical Group (EMG)
EMG sales in the fourth quarter were $628.9 million, up 15% from the fourth quarter of 2024. EMG’s fourth quarter operating income increased 28% to $142.5 million, and operating income margins were 22.7% in the quarter, up 240 basis points versus the prior year’s results.

“EMG performed exceptionally well in the fourth quarter to complete an outstanding year. Sales growth was broad based with double digit organic sales growth in each EMG division resulting in robust profit growth and sizeable margin expansion," noted Mr. Zapico.

2026 Outlook
“Our businesses delivered excellent results in 2025. This success highlights the strength of the AMETEK Growth Model, the quality of our niche, differentiated businesses, and the attractiveness of our markets. We enter 2026 with a record backlog, improving end market dynamics, and significant financial flexibility to support both our organic growth initiatives and to deploy capital on strategic acquisitions, driving continued long-term value creation.”

“For 2026, we expect overall sales to be up mid to high single digits compared to 2025. Adjusted earnings per diluted share are expected to be in the range of $7.87 to $8.07, up 6% to 9% over the comparable basis for 2025.

“For the first quarter of 2026, overall sales are expected to be up approximately 10% compared to the same period last year. Adjusted earnings in the quarter are anticipated to be in the range of $1.85 to $1.90 per share, up 6% to 9% compared to the first quarter of 2025,” concluded Mr. Zapico.

AMETEK will webcast its fourth quarter 2025 investor conference call on Tuesday, February 3, 2026, beginning at 8:30 AM ET. The live audio webcast will be available and later archived in the Investors section of www.ametek.com.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
The Company supplements its consolidated financial statements presented on a U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) basis with certain non-GAAP financial information to provide investors with greater insight, increased transparency and allow for a more comprehensive understanding of the information used by management in its financial and operational decision-making. Reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures are included in the accompanying financial tables. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a replacement for, or superior to, the comparable GAAP measure, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
The non-GAAP financial measures referenced in this press release include adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, and adjusted earnings per share. These measures are adjusted to exclude items that management does not consider indicative of AMETEK’s ongoing operational performance, such as after-tax acquisition-related intangible amortization and one-time acquisition-related costs (including transaction related costs, purchase accounting adjustments, and integration related costs).
In providing forward-looking guidance for quarterly and full-year GAAP and non-GAAP measures, the Company has not included adjustments, such as acquisition-related costs, whose timing and/or magnitude are contingent on future events.
The Company believes that these measures provide useful information to investors by reflecting additional ways of viewing AMETEK’s operations that, when reconciled to the comparable GAAP measure, helps our investors to better understand the long-term profitability trends of our business, and facilitates easier comparisons of our profitability to prior and future periods and to our peers.
