Mobile Solutions segment (Mobile) sales increased 6.1%, resulting from strength in Aftermarket partially offset by Off-Road and On-Road declines. Aftermarket sales grew 12.6%, driven by the lapping of OEM customer destocking in the prior year period as well as improved delivery rates and market share gains in the independent channel. Off-Road sales fell 13.0% as weak agriculture markets persisted in most regions. On-Road sales declined 11.8% due to lower equipment production in China and the United States.
Industrial Solutions segment (Industrial) sales increased 3.9%, driven by robust Aerospace and Defense sales, which rose 39.7% due to strong end-market conditions. Industrial Filtration Solutions (IFS) sales declined 1.5% as weaker dust collection demand in Europe and Power Generation project timing negatively impacted sales.
Life Sciences segment sales increased 20.7% year over year as a result of volume growth in Disk Drive and Food and Beverage.
Gross margin was 35.8%, up 170 basis points from 34.1% in 2023 driven by select input cost deflation and leverage on higher sales. Adjusted gross margin, which excludes the impact from restructuring and other charges, was 36.2%, an increase from 34.3% in 2023.
Operating expenses as a percentage of sales were 20.2%, a 20 basis point improvement from 20.4% in the prior year, resulting from leverage on higher sales. Adjusted operating expenses as a percentage of sales were 19.9% compared with 20.0% in 2023.
Operating income as a percentage of sales (operating margin) of 15.6%, increased 190 basis points year over year from 13.7% in 2023 driven by gross margin expansion and operating expense leverage. Adjusted operating margin was 16.3% compared with 14.3% in the prior year.
Interest expense was $5.3 million versus $4.9 million in 2023 as a result of higher interest rates. The Company's effective tax rate was 21.3% versus 21.7% a year ago.
For the full year, Donaldson paid $122.8 million in dividends and repurchased 2.0% of its outstanding shares for $163.3 million.
Full-Year Restructuring and Other Charges
During fourth quarter fiscal 2024, Donaldson incurred $6.4 million of restructuring and other charges, including $6.0 million of severance costs largely related to footprint optimization and cost reduction initiatives. Through these efforts, the Company expects to improve capacity utilization and efficiency across its global footprint while continuing to meet customer needs.
During fourth quarter and full year fiscal 2023, Donaldson incurred $4.9 million and $21.8 million, respectively, of restructuring and other charges, largely related to the Company's organizational redesign as well as costs associated with exiting a lower-margin customer program.
Fiscal 2025 Outlook
Adjusted full-year EPS is expected to be between $3.56 and $3.72, compared with fiscal 2024 GAAP and adjusted EPS of $3.38 and $3.42, respectively. Sales are projected to increase between 2% and 6% over prior year, with a pricing benefit of approximately 1%.
Mobile sales are forecast to be flat to up 4% year over year. Off-Road sales are projected to increase low-single digits driven by market share gains. On-Road sales are estimated to decrease low-double digits due to an exit from non-strategic products combined with weak end-market conditions. Aftermarket sales are forecast to increase low-single digits as a result of continued strength in vehicle utilization rates and market share gains.
Industrial sales are expected to grow between 4% and 8% versus 2024. IFS sales are forecast to increase high-single digits with strength across most businesses, including dust collection, Industrial Hydraulics and Industrial Gases. Aerospace and Defense sales are projected to be approximately flat after cycling difficult comparisons in 2024.
Life Sciences sales are forecast to grow low-double digits compared with prior year driven by sales increases in all businesses.
Operating margin is forecast to be between 15.3% and 15.9% versus 15.2%, or 15.4% on an adjusted basis, in 2024 largely driven by sustained gross margin performance.
Interest expense is projected to be approximately $21 million and other income is expected to be between $16 million and $20 million. Donaldson expects a fiscal 2025 effective income tax rate of between 23% and 25%.
Capital expenditures are forecast to be between $85 million and $105 million and free cash flow conversion is projected to be between 85% and 95%. For the full year, Donaldson expects to repurchase 2% to 3% of its shares outstanding.
Updated Fiscal 2026 Targets
In view of fiscal 2024 results, combined with an updated performance outlook for fiscal 2025 and 2026, Donaldson is revising its fiscal 2026 financial targets as follows:
Current Targets | Prior Targets | |||
(announced at 2023 Investor Day) | ||||
FY23 - FY26
| FY26 Operating Margin | FY23 - FY26
| FY26 Operating Margin | |
Mobile Solutions | 2% to 6% | 18.1% to 18.9% | 2% to 6% | 15.6% to 16.4% |
Industrial Solutions | 4% to 8% | 17.8% to 18.6% | 4% to 8% | 16.6% to 17.4% |
Life Sciences | 12% to 16% | 5% to 11% | 18% to 22% | 22.1% to 22.9% |
Total | 3% to 7% | 15.8% to 16.6% | 4% to 8% | 15.6% to 16.4% |
Total Company sales through fiscal 2026 are forecast to increase between 3% and 7%, slightly below the previously provided range, due to softer Life Sciences end-market conditions. Total operating margin in fiscal 2026 is expected to be 15.8% to 16.6%, slightly ahead of the prior range.
Carpenter continued, "In fiscal 2025 and 2026, Mobile and Industrial operating margin strength is forecast to more than offset weaker-than-expected Life Sciences performance. The elongated ramp up in Life Sciences profitability is driven by challenging market conditions and constrained customer capital spending. Overall, we are focused on executing our balanced growth strategy and remain highly confident in our ability to commercialize our innovative technologies and create sustainable long-term value in our Life Sciences business."

Note: The constant currency presentation, which is a non-GAAP measure, excludes the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company believes providing constant currency information provides valuable supplemental information regarding its results of operations. The Company calculates constant currency percentages by converting its current period local currency financial results using the prior period exchange rates and compares these adjusted amounts to its prior period reported results. Amounts may not foot due to rounding. |

2025 Adjusted EPS Guidance
A reconciliation of the Company's fiscal 2025 adjusted EPS guidance to fiscal 2025 GAAP EPS guidance is not included in this release due to the number of variables in the projected GAAP EPS range and the Company's current inability to reasonably quantify certain amounts, such as restructuring or other charges, that would be included in the GAAP measure or the individual adjustments for such reconciliation.
Note: Although free cash flow, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted gross profit, adjusted operating expense, adjusted operating income, adjusted income taxes, adjusted net earnings and adjusted diluted EPS are not measures of financial performance under GAAP, the Company believes they are useful in understanding its financial results. Free cash flow is a commonly used measure of a company's ability to generate cash in excess of its operating needs. EBITDA is a commonly used measure of operating earnings less non-cash expenses. The adjusted basis presentation excludes the impact of certain matters not related to the Company's ongoing operations. Management believes that the adjusted basis presentation reflects management's performance in operating the Company and provides a meaningful representation of the performance of the Company's core business and is useful to understanding its financial results. A shortcoming of these financial measures is that they do not reflect the Company's actual results under GAAP. Management does not intend these items to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related GAAP measures. Amounts may not foot due to rounding.
