MSA Safety Incorporated reported first quarter 2025 net sales of $421.3 million, a 2% increase on a reported basis and 4% organically year-over-year. Adjusted diluted EPS grew 4% to $1.68, demonstrating solid operating performance despite a dynamic environment.
The company's Detection segment showed robust organic growth in the mid-teens, driven by strong demand in both fixed and portable gas detection, including momentum in MSA+ connected offerings. However, the Fire Service segment experienced a high single-digit organic sales contraction due to a challenging prior-year comparable.
Gross margin for the quarter was 45.9%, a decrease of 140 basis points year-over-year, primarily impacted by transactional foreign currency headwinds and inflation. MSA Safety maintained its low-single-digit full-year organic sales growth outlook for 2025, while acknowledging increased macroeconomic uncertainty and tariff activity.
