Gibraltar Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ: ROCK) prices dropped sharply Wednesday, as the manufacturer and provider of products and services for the residential, renewable energy, agtech and infrastructure markets, today reported its financial results for the three-month period ended June 30, 2024.
GAAP net sales were down 3.3% while adjusted net sales were down 2.0% driven by a slowing market in Residential. Agtech bookings are up significantly and support strong revenue growth in the second half, and Infrastructure performance is expected to remain positive going forward.
GAAP net income increased 4.9% to $32.2 million, or $1.05 per share, and adjusted net income increased 2.8% to $36.4 million, or $1.18 per share.
According to CEO Bill Bosway, “We delivered solid execution and strong operating cash flow performance across Gibraltar, generating $36 million, while overcoming two market headwinds that impacted growth in our Residential and Renewables businesses in the quarter. The residential market experienced unexpected channel destocking which started in late May / early June. We offset some of this impact through participation gains, which will support our residential growth plan in the second half.
“Although net sales for Renewables were up versus prior year, it was less than expected as some customers continued to have project delays related to ongoing trade and regulatory issues. Agtech bookings surpassed $90 million in the quarter, a record for the business, and support strong revenue growth in the second half.”
ROCK shares lost $7.19, or 9%, to $73.02.
