Second Quarter 2025 Results
PSI reported record sales and profit for the three months ended June 30, 2025, with sales of $191.9 million, net income of $51.2 million and diluted earnings per share of $2.22, compared to sales of $110.6 million, net income of $21.5 million and diluted earnings per share of $0.94 for the second quarter of 2024. Second quarter 2025 adjusted net income was $51.8 million, compared to adjusted net income of $16.6 million for the second quarter of 2024, an increase of 213%.
Dino Xykis, Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We are very pleased with our second quarter results, which marks the strongest sales and profit performance in our Company's history. Achieving 74% year-over-year sales growth and 138% increase in net income reflects strong demand for our power systems solutions, the disciplined execution of our strategy, the commitment and dedication of our employees, and favorable tax benefits.
This milestone was achieved despite challenges from shifting tariffs and the complexities of scaling production. Our team responded with cross-functional coordination, operational efficiency, and financial discipline. We remain focused on mitigating tariff-related risks through strategic sourcing, agile supply chain management, and pricing actions to ensure continuity, competitiveness, and long-term value creation for our customers."
Kenneth Li, Chief Financial Officer, stated, "In June 2025, we were honored to be included in the Russell 3000®, Russell 2000®, and Russell Microcap® indexes, an important milestone that reflects the continued progress we're making in strengthening our business and delivering value to our customers and shareholders.
During the first six months of 2025, the Company reported net income of $70.3 million, and cash provided by operations of $25.5 million. On July 30, 2025, the Company amended its Revolving Credit Agreement, which extended the maturity date from August 30, 2025, to July 30, 2027 and increased the borrowing capacity to $135.0 million. As the Company has achieved profitability, is generating positive cash flows from operating activities, and has extended the Revolving Credit Agreement, the Company has concluded that its existing cash and cash equivalents and cash from operations will be sufficient for the Company to continue as a going concern for at least twelve months from the issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements. As a result, the Company released a valuation allowance previously recorded against its deferred tax assets, and increased net income and stockholders' equity $29.2 million from the tax benefits as of June 30, 2025."
Sales for the second quarter of 2025 were $191.9 million, an increase of $81.3 million, or 74%, compared to the second quarter of 2024, primarily as a result of a sales increase of $83.8 million in the power systems end market, offset by a decrease of $1.6 million and $0.9 million within the industrial and transportation end markets, respectively. This shift in market mix reflects our deliberate strategic focus on higher-growth sectors such as data centers and oil and gas. In particular, we are prioritizing the rapidly expanding data center sector by enhancing our manufacturing capacity and capabilities to meet evolving customer demand. The decline in industrial sales is largely attributable to softer demand in the material handling market.
Gross profit increased by $18.9 million, or 54%, during the second quarter of 2025 as compared to the same period in the prior year. Gross margin in the second quarter of 2025 was 28.2%, a decrease of 3.6% compared to 31.8% in the same period last year. Gross margin was impacted due to strong sales growth in comparatively lower-margin products and temporary inefficiencies related to our accelerated production ramp-up.
Selling, general and administrative expenses of $16.7 million increased during the second quarter of 2025 by $12.2 million, or 269%, compared to the same period in the prior year. The variance reflects a favorable $5.0 million non-recurring legal reserve reduction in 2024, and higher costs associated with employee incentive programs, increased sales and administrative expenses to support ongoing business growth in 2025.
Interest expense was $1.7 million in the second quarter of 2025 as compared to $2.9 million in the same period in the prior year, largely due to reduced outstanding debt and lower overall effective interest rates.
Income tax was a benefit of $20.1 million in the second quarter of 2025, compared to an expense of $0.9 million in the same period in the prior year. The change was primarily driven by the release of a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets with tax benefit of $29.2 million in the second quarter of 2025.
Net income and diluted earnings per share were $51.2 million and $2.22, respectively, in the second quarter of 2025, compared to $21.5 million and $0.94, respectively, for the second quarter of 2024.
Balance Sheet Update
The Company's cash and cash equivalents were approximately $49.5 million, while total debt was approximately $96.8 million at June 30, 2025. This compares to cash and cash equivalents of approximately $55.3 million and total debt of approximately $120.2 million at December 31, 2024. Included in the Company's total debt at June 30, 2025 were borrowings of $95.0 million under the Revolving Credit Agreement. In the second quarter of 2025, the Company fully repaid the remaining $15.0 million balance under its shareholder loan agreement.
In July, we amended our revolving credit agreement to secure a $135.0 million, two-year committed revolving loan through a syndicate of banks. This refinancing significantly strengthened our capital structure, and with improved financial performance, enabled us to remove substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, release the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets, and recognize $29.2 million in additional net income and stockholders' equity. These impacts were reflected in the Company's second quarter financial statements.
Outlook for 2025
The Company anticipates strong sales growth for 2025 compared to 2024, driven by expected growth in the power systems end market including products supporting data centers, while sales in the industrial and transportation end markets are projected to remain about flat.
