Regal Rexnord (NYSE:RRX) Announces Earnings Results

Regal Rexnord (NYSE:RRX) released its quarterly earnings results on Tuesday. The company reported $2.90 earnings per share for the quarter, topping analysts’ consensus estimates of $2.65 by $0.25, reports. The firm had revenue of $1.59 billion during the quarter, compared to the consensus estimate of $1.56 billion. Regal Rexnord had a return on equity of 9.93% and a net margin of 5.35%. The business’s revenue was up 6.1% on a year-over-year basis. During the same quarter in the prior year, the firm posted $2.51 EPS.

Here are the key takeaways from Regal Rexnord’s conference call:

• Third-quarter results exceeded expectations: organic sales rose 6.1%, adjusted EPS excluding tariff refunds increased 8.4% to $2.72, and free cash flow reached $194 million. Net leverage improved to 2.9x adjusted EBITDA.
• Demand strengthened broadly, with third-quarter daily orders up 5.7% and October orders up 24% enterprise-wide. Commercial HVAC, data center-related products, discrete automation, aerospace and defense, and energy markets were notable areas of strength.
• Operational execution is limiting revenue conversion and margins, particularly in IPS, where plant throughput, material planning, and manufacturing inefficiencies increased past-due backlog. Management expects recovery to take several quarters and has paused most plant consolidations while prioritizing output.
• Regal Rexnord raised its 2026 sales outlook to approximately $6.22 billion and adjusted EPS midpoint to $10.75, while maintaining $600 million of free cash flow guidance. The outlook reflects stronger AMC and PES performance offsetting weaker IPS results.
• Management launched a broad portfolio review using growth, margin, cash generation, returns, and strategic fit criteria, and is exploring a sale of Autonomous Mobile Solutions, which represents a low-single-digit percentage of AMC sales. The company also expects approximately $550 million of E-Pod revenue in 2027, with shipments beginning in the first quarter.
