Hardware products and merchandising solutions provider Hillman (NASDAQ:HLMN) reported revenue ahead of Wall Street’s expectations in Q2 CY2025, with sales up 6.2% year on year to $402.8 million. The company’s full-year revenue guidance of $1.56 billion at the midpoint came in 0.6% above analysts’ estimates. Its non-GAAP profit of $0.17 per share was 18.5% above analysts’ consensus estimates.
Hillman’s second quarter results were shaped by effective tariff mitigation strategies and execution on supply chain flexibility, which management credits for solid top and bottom line growth. CEO Jon Michael Adinolfi highlighted the company’s ability to “deliver orders on time and in full,” attributing performance to steady demand for repair and maintenance products, successful integration of the Intex acquisition, and a dual faucet sourcing strategy that reduced reliance on China. Management also pointed to strong results in its Hardware and Protective Solutions segment, as well as improved margins in Robotics and Digital Solutions, with Adinolfi noting, “This confirms our MinuteKey 3.5 strategy is working.”
