Following the third quarter jump of 37 percent, revenue surged 50 percent to $616 million in the December quarter at Omni Industries. The surge was driven primarily by construction products, which accounted for 57 percent of total sales and delivered a solid turnaround in profits for the 2025 fourth quarter, with a profit of $28 million, compared with a loss of $25 million in the final quarter of 2024. Earnings per share jumped from a loss of 10 cents in 2024 to 11 cents.
For the 2025 fiscal year, revenues climbed a respectable 14 percent to $2.22 billion, up from $1.95 billion in 2024, with profit increasing a solid 34 percent to $170 million over the $127 million in 2024. Earnings per share amount to 6.8 cents and 5.3 cents in 2024.
This significant growth in the fourth quarter reflects heightened demand following Hurricane Melissa, as customers accelerated procurement of essential construction and storage materials, Management stated in the report to shareholders. This raises the question about the level of sustainability of increased sales, particularly the increase in the December quarter over and above the third quarter.
The quarterly gross profit margin amounts to 39.3 percent, up from 37.7 percent in the prior year and ended with gross profit of $242 million, a 57 percent improvement over the $154 million in 2024, outpacing revenue growth.
The year-to-date gross margin dropped from 44.8 percent to 40.1 percent, reflecting higher input costs as the company sourced raw materials from non-traditional suppliers to navigate global trade tensions and supply chain disruptions. Notably, operating expenses remained flat year-over-year at $719 million.
The operations generated $220 million in cash flows and $171 million after changes in working capital, but $219 million went into Property, Plant and Equipment that expanded by 37 percent to $603 million, from $441 million in 2024.
Shareholders’ equity increased to $1.097 billion from $927 million in 2024. Long-term loans increased from $207 million to $272 million. Current assets amount to $1.25 billion, up slightly over the end of 2024, while current liabilities ended at $484 million, down from $526 million at the end of the previous year.
ICInsider.com projects 12 cents in earnings per share for 2026. Growth in revenues in the December quarter, if sustained, could drive revenues and profits higher than projected. At a current price of $0.98, the current PE is 8.2 versus the market average of 14.2, leaving room for growth in the stock price.
