CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Littelfuse, Inc. (NASDAQ: LFUS), a leader in developing smart solutions that enable safe and efficient electrical energy transfer, today reported financial results for its fourth quarter ended December 27, 2025:
“I am proud of our teams as we finished the year with significant momentum, delivering fourth quarter results above our guidance range and successfully closing the acquisition of Basler Electric,” said Greg Henderson, Littelfuse President and Chief Executive Officer. “Throughout 2025, we remained disciplined in executing our strategic priorities, which is reflected in our solid full year revenue growth and margin expansion. Across our segments, we are entering 2026 from a position of strength as we leverage our leadership in safe and efficient electrical energy transfer to accelerate growth, broaden our solutions for an expanding customer base, and drive continued operational enhancements.”
First Quarter of 2026*
“Looking ahead to the first quarter, we expect approximately 15% total revenue growth versus the prior year, supported by our strengthening backlog, deepening customer engagement, and contributions from the Basler acquisition. As our end markets continue to evolve requiring higher power and energy density solutions, we remain committed to driving technology innovations to help our customers solve increasingly complex challenges. Our focus is on executing our strategic priorities and scaling the company to deliver leading long term performance and shareholder value.”
Based on current market conditions, for the first quarter the company expects,
- Net sales in the range of $625 - $645 million, adjusted diluted EPS in the range of $2.70 – $2.90 and an adjusted effective tax rate of 24%
*Littelfuse provides guidance on a non-GAAP (adjusted) basis. GAAP items excluded from guidance may include the after-tax impact of items including acquisition and integration costs, restructuring, impairment and other charges, certain purchase accounting adjustments, non-operating foreign exchange adjustments and significant and unusual items. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could be material to results computed in accordance with GAAP. Littelfuse is not able to forecast the excluded items in order to provide the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure without unreasonable efforts.
Fourth Quarter 2025 Segment Performance Highlights
Electronics Segment
- Net sales for the fourth quarter 2025 increased +21%. Organic sales increased +14% driven by improved passive products (+23% organic) sales. Semiconductor product (+6% organic) sales also contributed to growth driven by increased protection semiconductor demand which more than offset lower power semiconductor volumes. The Dortmund Fab acquisition and favorable FX contributed +4% and +2% to growth, respectively.
- Adjusted EBITDA margin for the fourth quarter 2025 increased to 23.7% (+370 bps) primarily due to strong passive products and protection volume leverage which more than offset continued soft power semiconductor volumes.
- The fourth quarter 2025 includes a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $301 million related to the Semiconductor product business reflecting weaker sales and profitability than original expectations amid persistent soft market conditions.
Transportation Segment
- Net sales for the fourth quarter 2025 increased +1% as favorable FX impact of +2% offset lower organic sales. Organic sales decreased -1% as improved passenger vehicle organic sales (+2% organic) was more than offset by lower commercial vehicle sales (-4% organic). Passenger vehicle strength was driven by solid demand for core passenger car products, more than offsetting lower global passenger car builds and sensor declines in the fourth quarter. Lower commercial vehicle sales reflected the previously disclosed exit of the marine business as well as continued soft on-highway, off-road and agriculture end market demand.
- Adjusted EBITDA margin for the fourth quarter 2025 increased to 16.0% (+830 bps) driven by improved operational execution and a favorable year-over-year comparison against a prior-year cumulative out-of-period adjustment ($11.1 million), which more than offset lower volume and unfavorable mix.
Industrial Segment
- Net sales for the fourth quarter 2025 increased +4%. Organic sales decreased 1% as improved energy storage, utility & grid infrastructure, renewables and data center demand was more than offset by lower HVAC demand. The Basler acquisition and favorable FX also contributed +5% and +1% to growth, respectively.
- Adjusted EBITDA margin for the fourth quarter 2025 was flat at 16.2% as improved productivity and mix as well as a favorable year-over-year comparison against a prior-year cumulative out-of-period adjustment ($4.1 million) was offset by lower volume.
Full Year 2025 Segment Performance Highlights
Electronics Segment
- Net sales for the full year 2025 increased +13%. Organic sales increased +8% driven by improved passive products (+17% organic) sales. Semiconductor product organic sales were flat as improved protection semiconductor demand was offset by lower power semiconductor volumes. The Dortmund Fab acquisition and favorable FX also contributed +4% and +1% to growth, respectively.
- Adjusted EBITDA margin for the full year 2025 increased to 22.9% (+190 bps) primarily due to strong passive products and protection volume leverage, which more than offset continued soft power semiconductor volumes.
Transportation Segment
- Net sales for the full year 2025 increased +1% as favorable FX impact of +1% offset lower organic sales. Organic sales decreased -1% as flat passenger vehicle organic sales was more than offset by lower commercial vehicle sales (-1% organic). Flat full year passenger vehicle sales reflects solid core passenger car products growth offset by sensor declines. Lower commercial vehicle sales reflected soft on-highway, off-road and agriculture end market demand.
- Adjusted EBITDA margin for the full year 2025 increased to 17.7% (+370 bps) driven by improved operational execution and a favorable year-over-year comparison against a prior-year cumulative out-of-period adjustment ($11.1 million), which more than offset lower volume.
Industrial Segment
- Net sales for the full year 2025 increased +10%. Organic sales increased 9% driven by growth from energy storage, renewables, data center and HVAC end markets. The Basler acquisition also contributed +1% to growth.
- Adjusted EBITDA margin for the full year 2025 increased to 19.5% (+220 bps) driven by improved volume leverage and a favorable year-over-year comparison against a prior-year cumulative out-of-period adjustment ($4.1 million).
Dividend
- The company will pay a cash dividend on its common stock of $0.75 per share on March 5, 2026, to shareholders of record as of February 19, 2026.

“Safe Harbor” Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995
The statements in this press release that are not historical facts are intended to constitute "forward-looking statements" entitled to the safe-harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act. Such statements are based on Littelfuse, Inc.’s (“Littelfuse” or the “Company”) current expectations and are subject to a number of factors and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. These risks, uncertainties and other factors include, but are not limited to, risks and uncertainties relating to general economic conditions; product demand and market acceptance; economic conditions; the impact of competitive products and pricing; product quality problems or product recalls; capacity and supply difficulties or constraints; coal mining exposures reserves; cybersecurity matters; failure of an indemnification for environmental liability; changes in import and export duty and tariff rates; exchange rate fluctuations; commodity price fluctuations; the effect of the Company's accounting policies; labor disputes and shortages; restructuring costs in excess of expectations; pension plan asset returns less than assumed; uncertainties related to political or regulatory changes; integration of acquisitions may not be achieved in a timely manner, or at all; limited realization of the expected benefits from investment and strategic plans; the risk that expected benefits, synergies and growth prospects of the transaction with Basler may not be achieved in a timely manner, or at all; and other risks which may be detailed in the company's Securities and Exchange Commission filings. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results and outcomes may differ materially from those indicated or implied in the forward-looking statements. This release should be read in conjunction with information provided in the financial statements appearing in the company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2024.
Further discussion of the risk factors of the company can be found under the caption "Risk Factors" in the company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2024, and in other filings and submissions with the SEC, each of which are available free of charge on the company’s investor relations website at investor.littelfuse.com and on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. These forward-looking statements are made as of the date hereof. The company does not undertake any obligation to update, amend or clarify these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the availability of new information.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The information included in this press release and other materials filed with the SEC may include non-GAAP financial measures including organic net sales (decline) growth, adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted diluted earnings per share, adjusted income taxes, adjusted effective tax rate, free cash flow, net debt, consolidated EBITDA, and consolidated net leverage ratio (as defined in the credit agreement). Many of these non-GAAP financial measures exclude the effect of certain expenses and income not related directly to the underlying performance of our fundamental business operations. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is set forth in the attached schedules. The company believes that organic net sales (decline) growth, adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted diluted earnings per share, adjusted income taxes, and adjusted effective tax rate provide useful information to investors regarding its operational performance because they enhance an investor’s overall understanding of the company’s core financial performance and facilitate comparisons to historical results of operations, by excluding items that are not related directly to the underlying performance of its fundamental business operations or were not part of the company’s business operations during a comparable period. The company believes that free cash flow is a useful measure of its ability to generate cash. The company believes that net debt, consolidated EBITDA, and consolidated net leverage ratio are useful measures of its credit position. The company believes that all of these non-GAAP financial measures are commonly used by financial analysts and others in the industries in which we operate, and thus further provide useful information to investors. Management additionally uses these measures when assessing the performance of the business and for business planning purposes. Note that the company’s definitions of these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from those terms as defined or used by other companies.
