CALHOUN, Ga., Oct. 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mohawk Industries, Inc. (NYSE:MHK) today announced third quarter 2025 net earnings of $109 million and earnings per share ("EPS") of $1.75; adjusted net earnings were $167 million, and adjusted EPS was $2.67. Net sales for the third quarter of 2025 were $2.8 billion, up 1.4% as reported and essentially flat on an adjusted basis versus the prior year. During the third quarter of 2024, the Company reported net sales of $2.7 billion, net earnings of $162 million and earnings per share of $2.55; adjusted net earnings were $184 million, and adjusted EPS was $2.90.
For the nine months ended September 27, 2025, net earnings and EPS were $328 million and $5.24, respectively; adjusted net earnings were $435 million, and adjusted EPS was $6.96. Net sales for the first nine months of 2025 were $8.1 billion, a decrease of 1.4% as reported and 0.6% on an adjusted basis versus the prior year. For the nine months ended September 28, 2024, the Company reported net sales of $8.2 billion, net earnings and EPS were $425 million and $6.66, respectively; adjusted net earnings were $494 million and adjusted EPS was $7.75.
Commenting on the Company's third quarter, Chairman and CEO Jeff Lorberbaum stated, "Our net sales in the quarter were in line with our expectations, slightly ahead of prior year as reported. Though economic conditions across our regions weakened more than anticipated compared to the prior quarter, we believe we outperformed our markets. Our sales and product mix continued to benefit from the success of our premium residential and commercial offering and collections introduced during the past two years. Our results reflected benefits from ongoing productivity and restructuring initiatives as well as the impact of favorable currency exchange and lower interest expense, offset by higher input costs and temporary plant shutdowns. Across our markets, material and energy expenses are now improving from peak levels, though higher costs from earlier in the year will continue to impact our fourth quarter earnings.
With our markets remaining challenged, we are executing targeted actions across the organization to drive performance, such as operational enhancements, administrative process improvements and technology advancements. We are lowering our cost structure without impacting our long-term growth potential when the market recovers. We have identified additional restructuring opportunities to rationalize less efficient assets and streamline logistics operations and administrative functions across our segments. These new actions will result in annualized savings of approximately $32 million at a net cash cost of approximately $20 million after asset sales. Combined with our previously announced restructuring actions, we anticipate delivering $110 million in savings this year.
During the quarter, we continued to focus on our working capital management and generated approximately $310 million in free cash flow. We repurchased 315,000 shares in the quarter for approximately $40 million as part of our current stock buyback authorization. Year to date, we have purchased $108 million of our outstanding shares.
Our industry is currently at various stages of passing through the impact of higher tariffs on imported products and should compensate for the increased product cost over time. As previously stated, we continue to address the situation by optimizing our supply chain and implementing price adjustments on affected product categories. Ocean freight costs have been declining and are partially offsetting the tariff impact for U.S. importers. Based on recent changes, engineered wood and laminate imports will now be subject to reciprocal tariffs like other flooring categories, which should benefit domestically produced products. Because the evolving tariff situation will require some time to reach equilibrium, we will continue to adjust our strategies with changing rates and market conditions.
Net sales in the Global Ceramic Segment increased by 4.4% as reported, or 1.8% adjusted for constant days and exchange rates versus the prior year. The Segment's operating margin was 6.5% as reported, or 8.1% on an adjusted basis due to higher input costs, partially offset by productivity gains.
Net sales in the Flooring Rest of the World Segment increased by 4.3% as reported, or increased by 0.9% adjusted for constant days and exchange rates versus the prior year. The Segment's operating margin was 6.1% as reported, or 8.3% on an adjusted basis due to competitive industry pricing.
Net sales in the Flooring North America Segment decreased by 3.8% versus the prior year as reported. The Segment's operating margin was 5.8% as reported, or 7.2% on an adjusted basis due to higher input costs and competitive industry pricing, partially offset by productivity gains.
All of our markets face a shortage of available housing as supply has failed to keep pace with household formation. To meet growing demand, new home construction and remodeling must expand, which will also lower housing inflation pressures. Most central banks have shifted from prioritizing inflation reduction to stimulating economic growth. Declining interest rates in the U.S. and around the world should gradually encourage increased home sales and remodeling. While we believe these actions will benefit the housing market over time, we remain focused on optimizing the controllable aspects of our business, including our sales strategies, product innovation and operational productivity. Our previously announced restructuring initiatives continue to benefit our results by streamlining our operations and reducing our cost structure. We are leveraging the scope of our product portfolio, distribution advantages and industry-leading brands to expand our relationships with current and new customers. Our product mix continues to benefit from our premium collections and commercial sales, which is mitigating some of the pricing pressures in our markets. We are managing the impact of tariffs on our U.S. imported product offering through pricing actions and supply chain optimization, and we are reinforcing the value of our domestic manufacturing. Based on current trends in our regions, we believe that market volume should remain soft through the end of the year. Given these factors, we expect our fourth quarter adjusted EPS will be between $1.90 and $2.00 with one additional shipping day and excluding any restructuring or other one-time charges.
For more than three years, the flooring industry has been impacted both by consumers postponing large, discretionary purchases and low home sales, which have reduced new construction and remodeling activity. Housing turnover has a significant effect on our industry, with U.S. consumers spending an estimated five times as much on remodeling their flooring in the first year after buying a home than non-movers. Declining interest rates, increased disposable income and higher home equity should support greater home sales and remodeling in our markets. The housing stock in our regions is aging and requires significant renovation to preserve property values. During this cycle, we have enhanced our operations, cost position and product offering to capitalize on the future market recovery. While the inflection point remains unpredictable, market fundamentals, significant pent-up demand and Mohawk's unique business strengths support long-term profitable growth."

As required by the Securities and Exchange Commission rules, the tables above present a reconciliation of the Company's non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable US GAAP measure. Each of the non-GAAP measures set forth above should be considered in addition to the comparable US GAAP measure, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. The Company believes these non-GAAP measures, when reconciled to the corresponding US GAAP measure, help its investors as follows: Non-GAAP revenue measures that assist in identifying growth trends and in comparisons of revenue with prior and future periods and non-GAAP profitability measures that assist in understanding the long-term profitability trends of the Company's business and in comparisons of its profits with prior and future periods.
The Company excludes certain items from its non-GAAP revenue measures because these items can vary dramatically between periods and can obscure underlying business trends. Items excluded from the Company's non-GAAP revenue measures include: foreign currency transactions and translation; more or fewer shipping days in a period and the impact of acquisitions.
The Company excludes certain items from its non-GAAP profitability measures because these items may not be indicative of, or are unrelated to, the Company's core operating performance. Items excluded from the Company's non-GAAP profitability measures include: restructuring, acquisition and integration-related and other costs, legal settlements, reserves and fees, impairment of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles, acquisition purchase accounting, including inventory step-up from purchase accounting, adjustments of indemnification asset, adjustments of uncertain tax position and European tax restructuring.
