GLENVIEW, Ill., Feb. 03, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Illinois Tool Works Inc. (NYSE: ITW) today reported its fourth quarter and full year 2025 results.
“ITW delivered a solid finish to the year, marked by more than four percent revenue growth and a seven percent increase in GAAP earnings per share. As a result of our disciplined execution across all seven segments, we expanded both operating margin and income to record levels in the quarter,” said Christopher O’Herlihy, President and Chief Executive Officer.
“Our results over the past year demonstrate that ITW is well-positioned to deliver solid financial performance in any environment as we consistently exceeded market growth while improving profitability and margins. Notably, our Customer-Back Innovation initiatives were a primary catalyst, contributing 2.4 percent to revenue growth in 2025. Building on this momentum, we expect to continue outperforming our end markets in 2026 as we leverage ITW’s unique business model to drive consistent, above-market organic growth with best-in-class margins and returns. I extend my sincere gratitude to our global colleagues for their unwavering dedication to serving our customers and executing our strategy with excellence,” O’Herlihy concluded.

Fourth quarter revenue of $4.1 billion increased by 4.1 percent and organic revenue growth was 1.3 percent. Foreign currency translation increased revenue by 2.5 percent and acquisitions added 0.3 percent.

Segment operating margin increased 120 basis points to 27.7 percent. Operating cash flow was $1 billion, and free cash flow was $0.9 billion with a conversion of 109 percent to net income. During the quarter, the company repurchased $375 million of its own shares and the effective tax rate was 22.8 percent.
Full Year 2025 Results
Full year revenue of $16 billion increased 0.9 percent as organic revenue was flat. Foreign currency translation increased revenue by 0.8 percent and acquisitions contributed 0.1 percent to revenues.
GAAP EPS of $10.49 exceeded the prior guidance mid-point of $10.45. Operating income was $4.2 billion and operating margin was 26.3 percent with enterprise initiatives contributing 130 basis points. Segment operating margin of 27.2 percent increased 70 basis points. Pricing and supply chain actions successfully offset the tariff impact for the year. Six of seven segments expanded operating margins with three segments achieving operating margins above 30 percent.

The company invested approximately $0.8 billion to support the long-term growth of its highly profitable businesses and returned $3.3 billion to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases. The effective tax rate was 22.7 percent.
2026 Guidance
ITW is initiating 2026 guidance including GAAP EPS in the range of $11.00 to $11.40 per share, which represents seven percent earnings growth at the mid-point. The company projects revenue growth of two to four percent and organic growth of one to three percent based on current levels of demand and present foreign exchange rates.
Operating margin is projected to be in the range of 26.5 to 27.5 percent, an improvement of approximately 100 basis points with enterprise initiatives contributing 100 basis points.
All seven segments are expected to deliver positive organic growth and operating margin expansion in 2026.
Free cash flow is projected to be greater than 100 percent of net income, and the company plans to repurchase approximately $1.5 billion of its own shares. The projected effective tax rate is 23.5 to 24.5 percent.
Non-GAAP Measures
This earnings release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures is included in the attached supplemental reconciliation schedule. The estimated guidance of free cash flow to net income conversion rate is based on assumptions that are difficult to predict, and estimated guidance for the most directly comparable GAAP measure and a reconciliation of this forward-looking estimate to its most directly comparable GAAP estimate have been omitted due to the unreasonable efforts required in connection with such a reconciliation and the lack of reliable forward-looking cash flow information. For the same reasons, the company is unable to address the potential significance of the unavailable information, which could be material to future results.
Forward-Looking Statements
This earnings release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements may include, without limitation, statements regarding the potential impact of tariffs, the Company’s projected pricing actions, the impact of enterprise initiatives, future financial and operating performance, free cash flow and free cash flow to net income conversion rate, organic and total revenue, operating and incremental margin, price/cost impact, statements regarding diluted earnings per share, after-tax return on invested capital, effective tax rates, exchange rates, expected timing and amount of share repurchases, end market economic and regulatory conditions, and the Company’s 2026 guidance. These statements are subject to certain risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and other factors, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated. Important risks that could cause actual results to differ materially from the Company’s expectations include those that are detailed in ITW’s Form 10-K for 2024 and subsequent reports filed with the SEC.
