Myers Industries Announces Third Quarter 2025 Results

Higher Year-Over-Year Gross Profit Driven by Signature and Scepter Revenue Growth

Significant Free Cash Flow Improvement Year-Over-Year

KeyBanc Selected as Partner to Sell Myers Tire Supply

Myers Industries Inc. (NYSE:MYE), a leading manufacturer of products that protect the world from the ground up, today announced results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025.

Myers Industries President and CEO Aaron Schapper commented, "I am encouraged by the higher gross profit and free cash flow this quarter, indicating Myers' ability to generate value from our core businesses and strengthen operations. We achieved growth in gross profit due to favorable product mix. Infrastructure and Industrial growth was offset by continued softness in Vehicle and Automotive Aftermarket. Scepter's Industrial sales growth more than compensated for the lower weather-driven fuel container sales in the Consumer end market. We made significant improvements in free cash flow, generating $21.5 million during the quarter compared to $10.1 million in the third quarter of 2024. With the idling of two rotational molding production facilities, we have identified $19 million in structural cost reductions, and we remain on track to deliver annualized cost savings of $20 million, primarily in SG&A, by the end of 2025."

Third Quarter 2025 Financial Summary

• Net sales: Increased due to higher demand in the Infrastructure and Industrial end markets, particularly military products. This was offset by lower demand in the Automotive Aftermarket, Consumer and Vehicle end markets.
  
  
  
  
• Gross profit and Operating income: Increased due to higher volume, favorable mix, favorable cost productivity and lower material cost.

• Adjusted EBITDA: Increased due to higher volume and favorable material costs, partially offset by lower pricing.

Distribution

• Operating income and Adjusted EBITDA: Decreased due to lower volume, partially offset by favorable SG&A.

Balance Sheet & Cash Flow

• Total liquidity of $292.7 million, including $244.7 million of availability under the revolving credit facility and $48.0 million in cash on hand.
• Cash flow from operations was $25.8 million. Free cash flow was $21.5 million, up $11.4 million versus prior year, due to improvements in working capital. Capital expenditures were $4.2 million.

Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as "will," "believe," "anticipate," "expect," "estimate," "intend," "plan," or variations of these words, or similar expressions. These forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based only on the Company's current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the future of our business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, these statements inherently involve a wide range of uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of our control. The Company's actual actions, results, and financial condition may differ materially from what is expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.

Specific factors that could cause such a difference on our business, financial position, results of operations and/or liquidity include, without limitation, raw material availability, increases in raw material costs, or other production costs; risks associated with our strategic growth initiatives or the failure to achieve the anticipated benefits of such initiatives; unanticipated downturn in business relationships with customers or their purchases; competitive pressures on sales and pricing; changes in the markets for the Company's business segments; changes in trends and demands in the markets in which the Company competes; operational problems at our manufacturing facilities or unexpected failures at those facilities; future economic and financial conditions in the United States and around the world, including the impacts of U.S. and foreign tariff policies; inability of the Company to meet future capital requirements; claims, litigation and regulatory actions against the Company; changes in laws and regulations affecting the Company; unforeseen events, including natural disasters, unusual or severe weather events and patterns, public health crises, geopolitical crises, and other catastrophic events; our ability to successfully execute our announced intended divestiture of the Myers Tire Supply business; and other risks and uncertainties detailed from time to time in the Company's filings with the SEC, including without limitation, the risk factors disclosed in Item 1A, "Risk Factors," in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. Given these factors, as well as other variables that may affect our operating results, readers should not rely on forward-looking statements, assume that past financial performance will be a reliable indicator of future performance, nor use historical trends to anticipate results or trends in future periods. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date thereof. The Company expressly disclaims any obligation or intention to provide updates to the forward-looking statements and the estimates and assumptions associated with them.
