Myers Industries (NYSE:MYE) Issues Earnings Results, Misses Estimates By $0.13 EPS

Myers Industries (NYSE:MYE) released its quarterly earnings data on Thursday. The industrial products company reported $0.32 earnings per share for the quarter, missing the consensus estimate of $0.45 by ($0.13), FiscalAI reports. Myers Industries had a net margin of 4.86% and a return on equity of 19.86%. The company had revenue of $171.34 million during the quarter, compared to analyst estimates of $163.80 million. During the same quarter in the prior year, the company posted $0.19 EPS.

Here are the key takeaways from Myers Industries’ conference call:

• Third-quarter revenue increased 8.1% year over year, led by 38% growth in infrastructure and 12% growth in food and beverage; excluding exited low-margin products, revenue growth was 10.4%.
• Adjusted gross margin fell 360 basis points to 28.2% because of a 76% spike in resin costs, unfavorable mix, and unplanned maintenance. Management expects pricing actions and stabilized resin costs to drive significant sequential margin improvement in the fourth quarter.
• The Myers Tire Supply divestiture reduced net debt by $28.5 million, lowering net leverage to 1.86 times, while year-to-date free cash flow rose 29% to $61.9 million.
• Management raised its food and beverage outlook to strong growth and expects infrastructure to maintain strong growth, while Signature is projected to deliver mid- to high-teens annual revenue growth through 2029 through composite-mat conversion, new products, and capacity expansion.
• The company lowered its vehicle-market outlook from stable to down, citing declining RV demand, higher interest rates and fuel prices, weak consumer confidence, and delayed automotive OEM launches; military demand is also expected to face near-term timing-related headwinds.
