BROOMFIELD, Colo. - February 24, 2025 - DMC Global Inc. (Nasdaq: BOOM) today reported financial results for its fourth quarter ended December 31, 2024. Stabilization at DMC’s three manufacturing businesses led to sales and earnings results that were above management’s forecasts, while progress was made on several internal initiatives that should benefit future periods. Fourth quarter sales were $152.4 million versus a forecasted range of $138 million to $148 million, while adjusted EBITDA attributable to DMC was $10.4 million versus guidance of $5 million to $8 million.

Sales at Arcadia, DMC’s architectural building products business, were up 4% sequentially and down 11% versus last year’s fourth quarter. Sales of commercial exterior products, which generate approximately 75% of Arcadia’s total revenue, were up modestly versus both the 2024 third quarter and comparable prior-year period. The year-over-year decline in fourth quarter sales principally reflects weak demand from the luxury home market for Arcadia’s premium residential windows and doors.

Jim Schladen, who recently rejoined Arcadia as president, is focused on a “back-to-basics” approach to driving sales and earnings growth, further strengthening the core commercial operations, and implementing an improvement plan for Arcadia’s high-end residential window and door offering. This plan may include the rightsizing of certain underperforming offerings.

At DynaEnergetics, DMC’s energy products business, fourth quarter sales declined 9% sequentially and 15% year-over-year. The sequential decline reflects a seasonal slowdown in North American onshore well completions, which was partially offset by strong international demand. The year-over-year sales decline principally reflects lower pricing in North America.

During the fourth quarter, DynaEnergetics introduced the next generation of its DynaStage perforating system, the leading modular perforating gun in the unconventional oil and gas industry. The new model brings a further improvement in down-hole reliability. Having been fully value reengineered to reduce material and complexity, it is lighter and more compact than its predecessor. All customers have completed the transition to the new system, which is being embraced for its unique and superior value proposition. DynaEnergetics also completed the first phase of a major automation project at its North American manufacturing center in Blum, Texas. Phase two is on track for completion in the second quarter.

At NobelClad, DMC’s composite metals business, strong shipments led to the second best quarterly sales performance in more than a decade. Fourth quarter sales increased 14% sequentially, but declined 8% versus last year’s fourth quarter, which was NobelClad’s strongest sales quarter since 2013. Order backlog at the end of the fourth quarter was $49 million versus $59 million at the end of the third quarter, reflecting robust fourth quarter shipments that were not sufficiently offset by new bookings. Inquiries and order opportunities within NobelClad’s primary U.S. downstream energy market had improved throughout the fourth quarter and have remained healthy in the first quarter. NobelClad is focused on converting as many of these opportunities as possible into firm orders.

The Company believes Arcadia and DynaEnergetics have made significant progress stabilizing and improving their operations, positioning them to fully participate in future recoveries of their respective end markets. DMC’s focus prospectively is on margin expansion, EBITDA growth and debt reduction. During December 2024, DMC reached an agreement with its Arcadia joint venture partners to extend its put obligation until no earlier than September 2026. This extension will provide the company with significant optionality to deleverage its balance sheet with free cash flow while exploring opportunities to refinance on more favorable terms.

First quarter sales are expected to be in a range of $146 million to $154 million, while adjusted EBITDA is expected in a range of $8 million to $11 million. DMC said its businesses are closely monitoring evolving U.S. and reciprocal tariff policies.

•Sales decline vs. Q4 2023 reflects weak demand from luxury residential market.

•Adjusted EBITDA decline vs. prior-year quarter was disproportionate to sales decline due to higher fixed costs associated with the manufacturing of luxury residential products.

•Year-over-year sales decline was attributable to lower pricing in North America, while sequential sales decline reflects slowdown in North American well-completion activity.

•Year-over-year margin decline reflects lower pricing, while sequential margin improvement was due to third-quarter inventory and bad-debt charges.

•Rolling 12-month bookings were $96.6 million, and the 12-month book-to-bill ratio was 0.92.

In addition to disclosing financial results that are determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP), the Company also discloses certain non-GAAP financial measures that we use in operational and financial decision making. Non-GAAP financial measures include the following:

•EBITDA: defined as net income (loss) plus net interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.

•Adjusted EBITDA: excludes from EBITDA stock-based compensation, restructuring expenses and asset impairment charges (if applicable) and, when appropriate, nonrecurring items that management does not utilize in assessing DMC’s operating performance (as further described in the tables below).

•Adjusted EBITDA attributable to DMC Global Inc.: excludes the Adjusted EBITDA attributable to the 40% redeemable noncontrolling interest in Arcadia Products.

•Adjusted EBITDA for DMC business segments: defined as operating income (loss) plus depreciation, amortization, allocated stock-based compensation (if applicable), restructuring expenses and asset impairment charges (if applicable) and, when appropriate, nonrecurring items that management does not utilize in assessing DMC's operating performance.

•Adjusted net income (loss): defined as net income (loss) attributable to DMC Global Inc. stockholders prior to the adjustment of redeemable noncontrolling interest plus restructuring expenses and asset impairment charges (if applicable) and, when appropriate, nonrecurring items that management does not utilize in assessing DMC's operating performance.

•Adjusted diluted earnings per share: defined as diluted earnings per share attributable to DMC Global Inc. stockholders (exclusive of adjustment of redeemable noncontrolling interest) plus restructuring expenses and asset impairment charges (if applicable) and, when appropriate, nonrecurring items that management does not utilize in assessing DMC’s operating performance.

•Net debt: defined as total debt less total cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities.

•Free-cash flow: defined as cash flows from operating activities less net acquisitions of property, plant and equipment.

Management believes providing these additional financial measures is useful to investors in understanding the Company’s operating performance, excluding the effects of restructuring, impairment, and other nonrecurring charges, as well as its liquidity. Management typically monitors the business utilizing the above non-GAAP measures, in addition to GAAP results, to understand and compare operating results across accounting periods, and certain management incentive awards are based, in part, on these measures. The presence of non-GAAP financial measures in this report is not intended to suggest that such measures be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or as superior to, DMC’s GAAP information, and investors are cautioned that the non-GAAP financial measures are limited in their usefulness.

Because not all companies use identical calculations, DMC’s presentation of non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. However, these measures can still be useful in evaluating the company’s performance against its peer companies because management believes the measures provide users with valuable insight into key components of GAAP financial disclosures. For example, a company with greater GAAP net income may not be as appealing to investors if its net income is more heavily comprised of gains on asset sales. Likewise, eliminating the effects of interest income and expense moderates the impact of a company’s capital structure on its performance.

DMC is unable to reconcile its expected first quarter 2025 adjusted EBITDA attributable to DMC to the most directly comparable projected GAAP financial measure because certain information necessary to calculate such measure on a GAAP basis is unavailable or dependent on the timing of future events outside of DMC’s control.

Therefore, because of the uncertainty and variability of the nature of and the amount of any potential applicable future adjustments, which could be significant, DMC is unable to provide a reconciliation for expected adjusted EBITDA attributable to DMC without unreasonable efforts.

DMC Global is an owner and operator of innovative, asset-light manufacturing businesses that provide unique, highly engineered products and differentiated solutions. DMC’s businesses have established leadership positions in their respective markets and consist of: Arcadia, a leading supplier of architectural building products; DynaEnergetics, which serves the global energy industry; and NobelClad, which addresses the global industrial infrastructure and transportation sectors.
