Mettler‑Toledo International Inc. announced its third‑quarter 2025 results on November 7, 2025, reporting revenue of $1,029.7 million—an 8% year‑over‑year increase—and GAAP earnings per share of $10.57, up from $9.96 a year earlier. Non‑GAAP EPS rose to $11.15, exceeding analyst consensus by 4.5% and reflecting robust demand across its laboratory, industrial, and food retail segments. The company’s operating profit grew to $309.9 million, supporting a 30.69% operating margin that remains above peer averages.
The quarter’s growth was driven by a 10% sales increase in the Americas, 13% in Europe, and 1% in Asia/Rest of World, with the industrial segment posting the strongest contribution. Adjusted operating profit increased 5% year‑over‑year, while the company noted a 70‑basis‑point decline in gross margin due to tariff costs and lower volume, partially offset by higher price realization. Despite these headwinds, the company maintained a high margin profile, underscoring its pricing power and operational efficiency.
Guidance for the fourth quarter and full year 2025 reflects modest upside. Mettler‑Toledo forecasts local‑currency sales of $1.08 billion for Q4, with adjusted EPS of $12.68‑$12.88, a 3% revenue lift and a 2‑4% EPS increase. For the full year, the company projects 2% sales growth and adjusted EPS of $42.05‑$42.25, while acknowledging a 7% gross headwind to EPS from higher tariff costs and a 5% headwind from prior‑year shipping delays. The company also announced an additional $2.75 billion authorization for its share‑repurchase program, reinforcing its commitment to shareholder returns.
Strategically, the results demonstrate resilience amid tariff pressures and supply‑chain challenges. The company’s strong free‑cash‑flow generation—$430.8 million in operating cash flow for the first half of 2025—provides the liquidity to sustain its disciplined capital allocation and support future growth initiatives. The earnings beat and steady guidance suggest that Mettler‑Toledo’s niche leadership and innovation pipeline continue to drive demand, positioning the firm well for the automation, digitalization, and onshoring trends that underpin its long‑term growth prospects.
