Q4 FY26 earnings call · Aug 13, 2026

Q4 FY26

TL;DR. Applied Industrial Technologies posted record fiscal Q4 2026 results with 9.7% organic sales growth and 64 bps EBITDA margin expansion, while raising its intermediate financial targets to $7B in sales and 14% EBITDA margins. For fiscal 2027, the company introduced guidance of 4.0%-6.5% sales growth, 12.5%-12.8% EBITDA margins, and EPS of $11.65-$12.15.

Bullish

+ Raised intermediate financial targets to $7B in sales and 14% EBITDA margins over the next five years
+ Q4 organic sales growth of 9.7% was the strongest in more than three years, with EBITDA up 16.1% and EPS up 13.2%
+ Free cash flow of $159.7M in the quarter, up nearly 16% year-over-year, with ~$2B balance sheet capacity for capital deployment

Bearish

− FY27 free cash flow expected to trend lower year-over-year due to greater working capital investment
− Chemicals, lumber and wood, and transportation end markets posted declines in Q4
− Engineered Solutions flow control sales were muted in Q4 due to softer MRO activity and difficult comparisons
