Hillenbrand Inc. is a global industrial company providing highly-engineered processing equipment and solutions, primarily serving the durable plastics, food, and recycling industries. In its fiscal first quarter of 2025, Hillenbrand reported a 9% decline in revenue to $707 million, with GAAP earnings per share dropping to $0.09 from $0.24 the previous year. The company announced the sale of a majority stake in its Milacron injection molding and extrusion business to Bain Capital, a move aligned with its strategy to focus on less cyclical, higher-growth opportunities. Key financial metrics showed a decrease in adjusted EBITDA by 15% and adjusted EPS by 19%, reflecting challenges like cost inflation and lower volume. However, the company offset some of these challenges through pricing strategies and cost synergies. Looking ahead, Hillenbrand maintains a cautiously optimistic outlook, updating its fiscal 2025 guidance to account for the Milacron sale while expressing confidence in its strategic direction towards higher-growth markets.
