news images
  • Revenue of $4.1 billion, an increase of 1% with flat organic growth

  • Operating margin of 26.3% as enterprise initiatives contributed 130 bps

  • GAAP EPS of $2.58, a new Q2 record

  • Raising full year 2025 GAAP EPS guidance by $0.10; narrowing the range to $10.35 to $10.55 per share

GLENVIEW, Ill., July 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Illinois Tool Works Inc. (NYSE: ITW) today reported its second quarter 2025 results and updated guidance for full year 2025.

“The ITW team outpaced underlying end market growth and delivered solid financial performance in the second quarter, achieving EPS of $2.58, operating income of $1.1 billion, and operating margin of 26.3 percent, all second-quarter records. Our results are a direct outcome of the strength of the ITW Business Model, the quality of our diversified and resilient portfolio, and the unwavering dedication of our global ITW colleagues to serving our customers and executing our strategy with excellence,” said Christopher A. O’Herlihy, President and Chief Executive Officer.

“I am very encouraged by the meaningful strategic progress we made in the first half of the year, diligently executing our Next Phase growth priorities to make consistent above-market organic growth powered by Customer-Back Innovation a defining ITW strength. Looking ahead, we are raising our full year guidance, confident in our ability to successfully navigate an uncertain environment and deliver differentiated performance through 2025 and beyond.”

Second Quarter 2025 Results
Second quarter revenue of $4.1 billion increased by one percent as organic growth was essentially flat. Foreign currency translation impact increased revenue by one percent.

GAAP EPS of $2.58 increased two percent. Operating margin expanded 10 basis points to 26.3 percent as enterprise initiatives contributed 130 basis points. Operating cash flow was $550 million, and free cash flow was $449 million with a conversion of 59 percent to net income. During the quarter, the company repurchased $375 million of its own shares, and the effective tax rate was 24.4 percent.

2025 Guidance
ITW is raising its full year GAAP EPS guidance range of $10.15 to $10.55 per share by $0.10 or one percent at the midpoint to a narrower range of $10.35 to $10.55 per share. The company is projecting revenue growth of one to three percent and organic growth of flat to two percent based on current levels of demand adjusted for on-going pricing actions that are projected to offset tariff cost impacts and current foreign exchange rates. Operating margin is projected to be in the range of 26 to 27 percent as enterprise initiatives are expected to contribute 100 basis points or more. Free cash flow is expected to exceed 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 approximately 24 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 2025 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.

(1)
  Effective tax rate used for interest expense and other (income) expense for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was 24.4% in both periods. Effective tax rate used for interest expense and other (income) expense for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was 24.2% and 24.0%, respectively.

(2)  Average invested capital is calculated using the total invested capital balances at the start of the period and at the end of each quarter within each of the periods presented.

(3)  Returns for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 were converted to an annual rate by multiplying the calculated return by 4. Returns for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 were converted to an annual rate by multiplying the calculated return by 2.

After-tax ROIC for the six months ended June 30, 2024 included 170 basis points of favorable impact related to the cumulative effect of the change from the LIFO method of accounting to the FIFO method for certain U.S. businesses ($117 million pre-tax, or $88 million after-tax) in the first quarter of 2024.

A reconciliation of the tax rate for the six month period ended June 30, 2025, excluding the first quarter 2025 discrete tax benefit of $21 million related to the reversal of a valuation allowance on net operating loss carryforwards, is as follows:
