The company recently released its financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2024, highlighting a modest increase in net revenue despite challenges in organic growth and pricing dynamics. Strategic moves, including acquisitions and a significant divestiture, shaped the fiscal year.

However, net income decreased to $130 million, with adjusted EPS remaining flat at $3.84 due to increased amortization expenses. The fourth quarter saw a net revenue of $923 million, a 2.3% increase, though adjusted EBITDA fell by 14% due to higher raw material costs and delayed pricing actions.
Strategically, H.B. Fuller realigned its business segments and expanded its global footprint through acquisitions in the Medical Adhesive Technology market. The company also finalized plans to streamline its manufacturing and supply chain, aiming for significant cost savings by 2030.
