Strategic Portfolio Adjustments Drive Strong Growth and Enhanced Focus for Long-Term Value Creation
LANCASTER, Pa., July 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Burnham Holdings, Inc. (OTC-Pink: BURCA) ("BHI", the "Company", "we" or "our") today reported its consolidated financial results for the second quarter of 2025, demonstrating robust growth driven by strategic portfolio adjustments aimed at strengthening its core boiler business and expanding high-growth commercial and industrial service offerings. The financial statement presentation has been adjusted to reflect the previously announced divestiture of its subsidiaries Thermo Pride, LLC (TP) and Norwood Manufacturing, Inc. (NMI) as discontinued operations.
- Strong Top-Line Growth: Net sales for the second quarter of 2025 reached $53.0 million, an 8.5% increase ($4.1 million) over the second quarter of 2024. Year-to-date net sales climbed to $108.7 million, up from $97.7 million in the first half of 2024.
- Solid Gross Profit Margins: The Company maintained strong gross profit margins of 21.6% in the second quarter of 2025, reflecting operational efficiencies in the Commercial businesses.
- Strategic SG&A Investment: Selling, general, and administrative expenses (SG&A) increased by 18.3% in the second quarter and 18.2% in the first half of 2025, aligning with planned initiative spending to support long-term growth.
- Enhanced Profitability Metrics: Adjusted EBITDA for the first half of 2025 reached $9.0 million (7.5% of net sales), an increase from $8.5 million in the first half of 2024. Adjusted net income for Q2 2025 rose to $1.1 million (vs. $0.8 million prior year), with first-half adjusted net income at $4.5 million (vs. $3.8 million). These adjusted figures exclude the gain from the sale of TP and NMI, as well as impairment losses from the previously announced wind down of production activities at Crown Boiler.
- Increased Shareholder Value: Adjusted diluted earnings per share for the second quarter of 2025 improved to $0.23, up from $0.18 in 2024. Year-to-date adjusted diluted earnings per share were $0.95, compared to $0.81 for the first half of 2024.
"Burnham Holdings' second quarter results reflect not only strong operational performance across our continuing businesses, but also the positive impact of critical strategic decisions made to sharpen our focus and enhance financial flexibility," stated Chris Drew, President and CEO of Burnham Holdings. "Our strategic portfolio adjustments, including the divestiture of Thermo Pride and Norwood Manufacturing and the wind down of Crown Boiler operations, are pivotal steps in our unified strategy to build an even more agile, focused, and financially robust company, ultimately creating enhanced long-term value for our shareholders. These decisive actions underscore our commitment to optimizing performance and seizing future growth opportunities."
As previously announced on April 7, 2025, BHI initiated a plan to strategically wind down operations at Crown Boiler. This forward-looking decision is integral to driving manufacturing efficiency, improving production flexibility, and directly supports the Company's long-term growth objectives. This further enables BHI and its subsidiaries to enhance product integration, streamline operations, and standardize offerings across its portfolio. While this strategic realignment involved recorded impairment charges totaling $3.1 million in the second quarter, it was a necessary step to optimize BHI's operational footprint and focus resources towards its most promising growth avenues. These charges included $1.5 million of goodwill relating to the acquisition of Crown in 2003, $0.2 million of accelerated depreciation and $1.4 million of inventory reserves.
Building on this strategic momentum, BHI also substantially divested all of the assets of TP and NMI, as announced on May 5, 2025. This significant transaction aligns with the holding company's long-term vision to strengthen its core boiler business while expanding its commercial and industrial rental and service operations. The transaction successfully closed for $27.3 million, yielding net cash proceeds of $23.7 million after accounting for customary adjustments and transaction expenses. A book gain of $8.1 million ($6.2 million net of tax) was realized in the second quarter. Importantly, the proceeds were applied to outstanding debt on our revolving credit facility, which significantly drove down total debt and resulted in a substantial year-over-year decrease in interest expense. Through rigorous discipline around working capital management, average debt levels continue to sharply decrease on a year-over-year basis. Overall, we continue to believe order flow and our current backlogs are in line with seasonal operating patterns and 2025 is expected to follow the same manner.
These key strategic actions - the divestiture of TP and NMI, along with planned wind down of manufacturing operations at Crown Boiler - underscores BHI's commitment to its core boiler operations. The company's strategic longer-term focus remains firmly on growing and developing its commercial and industrial boiler service and installation business, including expansion of its mobile boiler room offerings. The enhanced debt capacity resulting from these initiatives provides valuable flexibility, allowing BHI to pursue alternative funding avenues in support of its strategic growth goals.
Further demonstrating our commitment to shareholder returns, the Burnham Holdings, Inc. Board of Directors, at its meeting on July 24, 2025, declared a quarterly common stock dividend of $0.23 per share. This dividend is payable on September 25, 2025, to shareholders of record as of September 18, 2025.

Non-GAAP Financial Information: This press release may contain certain non-GAAP financial measures, including, but not limited to, adjusted SG&A, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and adjusted diluted earnings per share. These non-GAAP financial measures do not provide investors with an accurate measure of, and should not be used as a substitute for, the comparable financial measures as determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures, when read in conjunction with the comparable GAAP financial measures, give investors a useful tool to assess and understand the Company's overall financial performance, because they exclude items of income or expense that the Company believes are not reflective of its ongoing operating performance, allowing for a better period-to-period comparison of operations of the Company. The Company acknowledges that there are many items that impact a company's reported results, and the adjustments reflected in these non-GAAP measures are not intended to present all items that may have impacted these results.
