Atmus Filtration Technologies Inc. reported Q3 2025 revenue of $447.7 million, up 10.9% year‑over‑year, and adjusted earnings per share of $0.69, beating the consensus estimate of $0.61 by $0.08 (13.1%). The revenue lift was driven by stronger demand in the truck, bus, and construction segments, while the company maintained a higher mix of high‑margin meltblown and nanofiber products. The adjusted EPS beat was largely a result of disciplined cost management and the elimination of one‑time separation expenses that had been charged in prior periods.
Gross margin expanded to 28.9% from 27.6% in Q3 2024, and adjusted EBITDA margin rose to 20.4% from 19.6%. The margin improvement reflects favorable pricing power in core markets, volume growth, and lower manufacturing costs, offsetting the modest impact of raw‑material price increases. The company’s operational separation from Cummins Inc. completed in the quarter removed a $10 million annual cost, further supporting margin expansion.
Management raised its full‑year 2025 revenue outlook to $1.72 billion–$1.745 billion, up from the prior guidance of $1.71 billion, and adjusted EPS guidance to $2.50–$2.65, compared with the previous range of $2.57. The upward revision signals confidence in sustained demand and the ability to translate higher sales into earnings, while the company remains cautious about macro‑economic headwinds that could affect downstream customers.
CEO Steph Disher highlighted the operational separation as a milestone, noting that “the completion of the separation during the quarter marks a significant milestone for our company.” She added that the company’s people delivered strong results “amid challenging market conditions,” underscoring resilience and a focus on execution. The company also announced a $30 million share‑repurchase program and a 10% increase in its quarterly dividend, reinforcing its commitment to shareholder returns.
The earnings beat and guidance raise have positioned Atmus favorably in the filtration market, reinforcing its competitive edge in proprietary meltblown and nanofiber technologies. The company’s ability to grow revenue, improve margins, and raise guidance amid a complex operating environment suggests a solid trajectory for the remainder of the fiscal year.
