Enerpac Tool Group Corp. reported a second-quarter revenue of $155 million, reflecting a 2% organic growth driven by a 6% increase in product sales, despite a notable 17% decline in service revenue. The Americas saw a 4% overall growth, with product revenue rising nearly 6%, while the EMEA region experienced a 1% revenue decrease due to a significant contraction in service revenue. The company also secured a five-year service contract in the U.K. North Sea, which is expected to enhance future revenue streams.
The decline in gross margins, down 410 basis points year-over-year, underscores ongoing challenges in the service sector, which management anticipates will continue to experience pressure. Despite this, Enerpac’s strong liquidity position, with $499 million available, and a disciplined approach to cost management have allowed for continued investment in innovation and shareholder returns, including $51 million in stock repurchases during the quarter.
Looking ahead, Enerpac has narrowed its fiscal 2026 guidance, projecting net sales between $635 million and $650 million, with a continued focus on strengthening its product business while navigating the headwinds in the service sector. This strategic pivot, alongside ongoing restructuring efforts, positions the company for potential growth despite current market challenges.
