AAON REPORTS SALES & EARNINGS
FOR THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2025
TULSA, Okla., April 30, 2025 - AAON, INC. (NASDAQ-AAON), a leader in high-performing, energy-efficient HVAC solutions that bring long-term value to customers and owners, today announced its results for the first quarter of 2025.
Gary Fields, CEO, stated, “We had a strong first quarter. Net sales, gross margin and earnings all experienced quarter-over-quarter improvement. Production of BASX-branded equipment made solid progress as we accelerated backlog conversion, utilizing all four of our major locations, including our new facility in Memphis. The resulting net sales of BASX-branded products for the quarter were up year-over-year 374.8%. Bookings for BASX-branded equipment were also strong, driven by demand for both our air-side and liquid cooling data center equipment, with total backlog at the end of the quarter up 83.9% from a year ago and up 18.4% from the end of last year.”
Fields continued, “Turning to AAON-branded equipment sales, we expected the weak book of orders throughout most of the fourth quarter last year was going to result in a soft first quarter. However, supply chain issues related to the new R454B refrigerant components exacerbated this dynamic, resulting in slower than anticipated production rates. On a positive note, we are beginning to see these supply chain issues abate as production at our vendors is beginning to catch up with our demand. Also, bookings of AAON-branded equipment in the first quarter experienced a strong rebound, reinforcing our belief that our competitive position on this side of the business is strengthening. The strong book of orders led to the backlog of AAON-branded equipment increasing to the highest level since the first quarter of 2023, up 44.9% year-over-year. This, along with the strength of BASX-branded bookings, led to a record total backlog of $1.0 billion, up year-over-year 83.9%.”
Fields concluded, “Gross margins were in line with our expectations, showing slight improvement from the fourth quarter. The sequential increase is due to both growth in BASX-branded sales and improved productivity at our Longview, Texas and Redmond, Oregon facilities, which is reflected in the margins at the AAON Coil Products and BASX segments, respectively. This was partially offset by weaker than expected margins at the AAON Oklahoma segment, which was impacted by the temporary supply chain issues associated with R454B refrigerant components.”
Net sales for the first quarter of 2025 increased 22.9% to $322.1 million, from $262.1 million in the first quarter of 2024. The year-over-year increase was driven by the BASX and AAON Coil Products segments, which realized growth of 138.9% and 287.8%, respectively. The growth was fueled primarily by the demand for BASX-branded air-side and liquid cooling data center equipment. Net sales at the AAON Oklahoma segment declined year-over-year 23.0%. The decline was attributed to a temporary lull in orders in the fourth quarter combined with temporary supply chains issues of R454B refrigerant components.
Gross profit margin in the quarter was 26.8%, down from 35.2% in the comparable quarter in 2024. The year-over-year contraction in gross margin was a result of lower production volumes at the AAON Oklahoma segment, partially offset by improved operational efficiencies at the AAON Coil Products and BASX segments.
SG&A expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 have increased due to higher depreciation and amortization costs reflective of the investments in growth that have been made, along with increased technology related consulting expenses from the additional investments in technology, offset by a decrease in professional fees. Earnings per diluted share for the three months ended March 31, 2025, were $0.35, down 23.9% compared to earnings per diluted share in the first quarter of 2024.

Matt Tobolski, COO and President, stated, “Considering the size of the backlog at the end of the first quarter and the expected conversion rates of that backlog, we are positioned well entering the second quarter. For the AAON Oklahoma segment, bookings trends have been positive year-to-date, backlog is strong, and production rates are increasing. We expect production volumes at our Tulsa, Okla. facility to increase considerably over the next several months given demand and as supply chain constraints abate. This will help drive quarter-over-quarter improvements in AAON Oklahoma sales and margins, partially offset by costs associated with the ramp-up of production at the new Memphis, Tenn. facility. Backlog and bookings of BASX-branded equipment continue to strengthen, driven by the data center market. We continue making progress towards improving operational efficiencies at our Redmond, Oregon and Longview, Texas facilities, and we continue to expect to build on this progress throughout the year. This will drive robust year-over-year growth in the cumulative sales of our BASX and AAON Coil Products segments. In conclusion, while there are increased uncertainties with the second half of the year related to the macroeconomic environment, we are encouraged with the immediate near-term outlook and extremely excited with the long-term fundamentals of the business.”
As of March 31, 2025, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $2.4 million and a balance on its revolving credit facility of $178.0 million. Rebecca Thompson, CFO and Treasurer, commented, “During the quarter, we increased our dividend 25.0% to $0.10 per quarter or $0.40 per annum. We also completed the repurchase of 371,139 shares for $30.0 million at an average price of $80.81 per share during the quarter. We have continued confidence in our ability to grow and plan to invest $220.0 million in 2025 as we stand up our new plant in Memphis, continue improvements in Longview and invest in back office automation and technology.”

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement the Company’s consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), additional non-GAAP financial measures are provided and reconciled in the following tables. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when considered together with the GAAP financial measures, provide information that is useful to investors in understanding period-over-period operating results. The Company believes that this non-GAAP financial measure enhances the ability of investors to analyze the Company’s business trends and operating performance as they are used by management to better understand operating performance. Since adjusted net income, adjusted net income per diluted share, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA margin are non-GAAP measures and are susceptible to varying calculations, adjusted net income, adjusted net income per diluted share, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA margin, as presented, may not be directly comparable with other similarly titled measures used by other companies.
Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income
The Company defines non-GAAP adjusted net income as net income adjusted for any infrequent events, such as litigation settlements, net of profit sharing and tax effect, in the periods presented.
The following table provides a reconciliation of net income (GAAP) to non-GAAP adjusted net income for the periods indicated:

EBITDA
EBITDA (as defined below) is presented herein and reconciled from the GAAP measure of net income because of its wide acceptance by the investment community as a financial indicator of a company's ability to internally fund operations. The Company defines EBITDA as net income, plus (1) depreciation and amortization, (2) interest expense (income), net and (3) income tax expense. EBITDA is not a measure of net income or cash flows as determined by GAAP. EBITDA margin is defined as EBITDA as a percentage of net sales.
The Company’s EBITDA measure provides additional information which may be used to better understand the Company’s operations. EBITDA is one of several metrics that the Company uses as a supplemental financial measurement in the evaluation of its business and should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income, as an indicator of operating performance. Certain items excluded from EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing a company's financial performance. EBITDA, as used by the Company, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. The Company believes that EBITDA is a widely followed measure of operating performance and is one of many metrics used by the Company’s management team and by other users of the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as EBITDA adjusted by items in non-GAAP adjusted net income, above, except for taxes, as taxes are already excluded from EBITDA.
The following table provides a reconciliation of net income (GAAP) to EBITDA (non-GAAP) and Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) for the periods indicated:
