RALEIGH, N.C., February 4, 2026 - Ralliant Corporation ("Ralliant" or the "Company") (NYSE: RAL) today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and full year of 2025.
For the fourth quarter, revenue of $555 million increased 1% year-over-year and 5% sequentially.
Net loss was $(1.4) billion or $(12.10) per diluted share, including a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $1.4 billion recorded in the Test & Measurement segment, primarily driven by revised expectations for the EA Elektro-Automatik business. Adjusted net earnings were $79 million, resulting in adjusted diluted EPS of $0.69.
Net loss margin was (248)% and adjusted EBITDA margin was 20.8%.
"Q4 marked the third consecutive quarter of sequential revenue growth, continuing the improvement we achieved throughout a pivotal year for Ralliant," said Tami Newcombe, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Our disciplined execution amplified by continued deployment of the Ralliant Business System drove another strong quarter, with results at or above the high end of our guidance ranges."
Ms. Newcombe continued, "I am proud of our team's focus and resilience as we balanced performance with the successful completion of our separation while navigating a dynamic global macroeconomic environment. Over the course of the year, we delivered on our commitments, sharpened our long-term strategy, ramped innovation, and established guiding principles that define how we operate for our customers, shareholders, and one another. As we enter 2026, we do so with momentum, supported by strong secular tailwinds, a healthy balance sheet, and a clear set of strategic priorities that position us well to deliver on our long-term commitments."

Fourth Quarter 2025 Segment Highlights
(All results compared with the fourth quarter of 2024 unless otherwise noted.)
Sensors & Safety Systems (S&SS)
Electric grid monitoring solutions, defense and space technologies, industrial sensors for demanding environments
•Revenue of $337 million, up 6%, and up 3% sequentially
•Operating profit of $85 million and operating profit margin of 25.1%, down 7% and down 350 basis points, respectively; sequentially operating profit decreased 6% and operating profit margin was down 250 basis points
•Adjusted EBITDA of $94 million and adjusted EBITDA margin of 28.0%, down 3% and down 280 basis points, respectively; sequentially adjusted EBITDA increased 1% and adjusted EBITDA margin was down 70 basis points
Strong secular demand across the Company's high-growth vectors drove revenue growth during the quarter. Utilities customers continued to invest in grid modernization and expansion initiatives, driven by electrification and data center demand. Defense & Space revenue growth was driven by robust demand and an increase in shipments while backlog continues to grow. Growth also accelerated in select areas of the Industrial Manufacturing and Other end markets. Operating profit margin and adjusted EBITDA margin declined during the quarter, primarily due to higher employee costs.
Test & Measurement (T&M)
Precision instruments and essential software and services for advanced electronics
•Revenue of $217 million, down 6%, and up 7% sequentially
•Operating loss of $1.4 billion and operating margin of (661)%, which include a $1.4 billion non-cash impairment of goodwill recorded in the Test & Measurement segment described below; the sequential decrease is not meaningful on a percentage basis as it was affected by the impairment
•Adjusted EBITDA of $35 million and adjusted EBITDA margin of 15.9%, down 21% and 310 basis points, respectively; sequentially, adjusted EBITDA increased 23% and adjusted EBITDA margin improved 200 basis points

Within the T&M segment, the year-over-year revenue decline was primarily attributable to the impact of a large Semiconductor customer project in prior periods. Sequentially, revenue gradually improved in Diversified Electronics and momentum continued in Communications. Operating profit margin and adjusted EBITDA margin declined during the quarter, primarily due to lower revenue and higher employee costs.
In the fourth quarter of 2025, in connection with its annual impairment testing, the Company recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $1.4 billion related to the Test & Measurement reporting unit. The impairment was primarily driven by revised expectations for the
2

EA Elektro-Automatik business, reflecting slower-than-anticipated progression and recent reduction in industry forecasts of future electric vehicle ("EV") adoption. The impairment charge has been excluded from the adjusted results presented in this earnings release.
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow
On a reported basis, the Company generated $102 million of cash flow from operating activities and invested $10 million in capital expenditures, resulting in free cash flow of $92 million, compared with cash flow from operating activities of $161 million and free cash flow of $147 million in the fourth quarter of 2024.
At the end of the fourth quarter, the Company had $319 million of cash and cash equivalents and $1.15 billion of total debt. In the fourth quarter, the Company paid $34 million to Fortive.
On January 29, 2026, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per share of common stock. The first quarter 2026 dividend is payable on March 23, 2026, to stockholders of record as of the close of business on March 9, 2026. In 2025, the Board of Directors approved a share repurchase authorization of $200 million, which remains fully available.
The dividend declaration and share repurchase authorization demonstrate the Company's capacity and commitment to return capital to stockholders. The Company is focused on driving total shareholder returns through its capital allocation priorities outlined at its June 10, 2025, Investor Day. These include organic reinvestment, return of capital, and selective tuck-in acquisitions.
OUTLOOK1
First Quarter 2026
For the first quarter of 2026, Ralliant is providing the following outlook:
•Revenue: $508 to $522 million
•Adjusted EBITDA margin: 17% to 18%
•Adjusted EPS: $0.46 to $0.52
Assumptions
•Year-over-year revenue growth of 5% to 8%, including approximately 2 percentage points from FX; sequential revenue decline consistent with typical seasonality
•Adj. EBITDA margin reduction year-over-year is mostly due to higher operating expenses and investments in our growth strategy, partially offset by the benefit of operating leverage on higher revenue
1 Ralliant does not provide a reconciliation for non-GAAP estimates for adjusted EPS, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted effective tax rate, or free cash flow conversion on a forward-looking basis because the information necessary to calculate a meaningful or accurate estimation of reconciling items is not available without unreasonable effort. See "Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Information" below for more information.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
In addition to the financial measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP), this earnings release also references "adjusted net earnings," "adjusted EPS," "adjusted EBITDA" (including segment adjusted EBITDA), "adjusted EBITDA margin" (including segment adjusted EBITDA margin), "free cash flow," "free cash flow conversion," and "adjusted effective tax rate," which are non-GAAP financial measures. The reasons why we believe these measures, when used in conjunction with the most directly GAAP financial measures, provide useful information to investors, how management uses such non-GAAP financial measures, reconciliations of certain of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures and other information relating to these measures are included in "Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Information" below. Such non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the GAAP financial measures but should instead be read in conjunction with the GAAP financial measures. The non-GAAP financial measures used by Ralliant in this earnings release may be different from similarly-titled non-GAAP measures used by other companies.
