Summary of Fourth Quarter 2025 Results:
The company’s net revenue for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 was $895 million, down 3.1% versus the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024. Organic revenue was down 1.3% year-on-year, with pricing actions increasing organic revenue by 1.2% and volume decreasing organic revenue by 2.5%. Foreign currency translation increased net revenue by 1.0%, and the net impact of acquisitions and divestitures decreased net revenue by 2.8%.
Gross profit in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 was $282 million. Adjusted gross profit was $291 million. Adjusted gross profit margin of 32.5% increased 290 basis points year-on-year. The net impact of pricing and raw material cost actions, the impact of acquisitions and divestitures, and targeted cost reduction efforts drove the year-on-year increase in adjusted gross profit margin.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense was $184 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 and adjusted SG&A was $174 million, down modestly year-on-year driven by continued cost saving efforts and lower variable compensation.
Net income attributable to H.B. Fuller for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 was $30 million. Adjusted net income attributable to H.B. Fuller for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 was $71 million. Adjusted EPS was $1.28 per diluted share, up 39.1% year-on-year.
Adjusted EBITDA in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 was $170 million, up 14.6% year-on-year, driven principally by the net impact of pricing and raw material cost actions. Adjusted EBITDA margin increased 290 basis points year-on-year to 19.0%.
“Our execution and agility in the quarter and throughout the year generated double‑digit EPS growth and EBITDA at the top end of our full year guidance range amidst an unpredictable economic backdrop and challenging demand landscape,” said Celeste Mastin, president and CEO. “During this time, we helped our customers navigate this environment successfully—providing them with material optionality and flexibility while ensuring consistent quality and reliable availability wherever in the world they chose to make their products. These efforts, which strengthened our partnerships and enhanced H.B. Fuller’s competitive positioning, are reflected in our improved profitability and sustained margin expansion.
“As a result, we are exiting the fourth quarter with strong momentum heading into 2026 and are firmly on track to achieve our target of greater than 20% EBITDA margin. I am very proud of our team’s resolve, resourcefulness, and the meaningful progress we made in 2025 as we continue transforming H.B. Fuller into a higher‑growth, higher‑margin company.”
Balance Sheet and Working Capital:
Net debt at the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 was $1,910 million, down $48 million sequentially versus the third quarter and up $68 million year-on-year. Net debt-to-adjusted EBITDA of 3.1X was down sequentially from 3.3X versus the previous quarter, and down from 3.5X in the first quarter.
Net working capital in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 declined $41 million sequentially versus the third quarter. As a percentage of annualized net revenue, net working capital decreased 120 basis points versus the third quarter. On a year-on-year basis, net working capital increased 130 basis points to 15.8%, due to slightly higher inventory days on hand as we execute our manufacturing footprint optimization.

14 We use the term “organic revenue” to refer to net revenue, excluding the effect of foreign currency changes and acquisitions and divestitures. Organic growth reflects adjustments for the impact of period-over-period changes in foreign currency exchange rates on revenues and the revenues associated with acquisitions and divestitures.
15 Corporate Unallocated includes revenue for the North America Flooring business for the twelve months ended November 30, 2024. This business was sold in the first quarter of 2025 and as a result all activity for prior years was moved to Corporate Unallocated.
