Business Summary

DMC Global Inc. operates three manufacturing businesses: Arcadia Products, DynaEnergetics, and NobelClad, which provide differentiated products and engineered solutions primarily for the construction, energy, and industrial processing markets. Arcadia Products serves the commercial construction market with aluminum framing systems, windows, curtain walls, storefronts, entrance systems, and interior partitions, and also supplies customized windows and doors to the high-end residential construction market. DynaEnergetics is a vertically integrated, global manufacturer of advanced perforating systems used in oil and gas well completion and well plug-and-abandonment operations. NobelClad produces explosion-welded clad metal plates for use in the construction of corrosion-resistant industrial processing equipment and specialized transition joints for aluminum smelting, ship construction, and LNG processing equipment. The oil and gas and chemical and petrochemical end markets constituted approximately 68% of NobelClad bookings in 2025. The North American exterior and interior commercial construction markets are highly fragmented, and the Arcadia and Wilson Partitions product lines compete against several national, regional and local manufacturers. DynaEnergetics faces competition from independent manufacturers of perforating products and from the industry's three largest oil and gas service companies. NobelClad faces competition from hot roll bonding and weld overlay technologies and from other explosion-welded clad metal manufacturers globally, and within North America, NobelClad is one of the largest producers of explosion-welded clad products.

Arcadia Products' Arcadia line benefits from low-cost manufacturing platforms, effective supply chain management, broad model offerings, product quality and availability, short lead times and highly diversified and long-tenured customer bases, creating significant competitive advantages relative to many other exterior and interior building products manufacturers. DynaEnergetics competes for sales primarily on customer service, product quality, reliability, safety, performance, and price. NobelClad holds a premium market position in the explosion-welded clad metal industry. During the year ended December 31, 2025, one DynaEnergetics customer accounted for approximately 26% of consolidated net sales of the Company.

DMC generates revenue through the sale of manufactured products across three segments. Arcadia Products generates revenue from architectural building products sold through a network of manufacturing, fabrication and distribution centers throughout the United States. DynaEnergetics generates revenue from perforating systems and associated hardware sold globally to oilfield service companies. NobelClad generates revenue from explosion-welded clad metal plates and transition joints sold globally. Revenue is recognized when control of goods transfers to customers, which for the majority of transactions is at a point in time upon shipment or fulfillment of applicable Incoterms. For certain customized, project-based products at Arcadia Products, control passes to the customer over time. Payment terms generally include a requirement of payment within 30 to 90 days across all segments.

Arcadia Products offers three branded product lines: Arcadia, which serves the commercial exteriors market; Wilson Partitions, which serves the commercial interiors market; and Arcadia Custom, which is used in the high-end residential market. In 2025, the Arcadia line accounted for approximately 77% of the net sales of Arcadia Products, the Wilson Partitions line accounted for approximately 13% , and the Arcadia Custom line accounted for approximately 10% . DynaEnergetics designs, manufactures and sells all five primary perforating-system components: the initiation system, shaped charges, detonating cord, gun hardware, and a control panel. Its products include the IS2 and IS3 Intrinsically Safe Initiating Systems, DS Factory-Assembled, Performance-Assured perforating systems (including DS Infinity 2.0, DS Gravity 2.0, DS NLine 2.0, DS LoneStar 2.0, and DS Echo), shaped charges (including LoneStar, EchoFrac, HaloFrac, FracTune, and DPEX), TCP systems, setting and ballistic release tools (DS MicroSet and DS Liberator 2.0), and plug and abandonment systems (DynaSlot). NobelClad's products include DetaClad explosion clad plates and cylinders, tube sheets, vessel heads and cylinders, Structural Detacouple and Triclad transition joints, ETJ2000, ETJ 2001 and ETJ 3000 electrical transition joints, Cylindra Cryogenic Transition Joints, and DetaPipe spools, elbows and branches. During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, Arcadia Products represented approximately 40%, 39%, and 42% of DMC's consolidated net sales, respectively. DynaEnergetics represented approximately 44%, 45%, and 44% of DMC's consolidated net sales, respectively. NobelClad represented approximately 15%, 16%, and 15% of DMC's consolidated net sales, respectively.

In January 2024, the Company announced that the Board initiated a review of strategic alternatives for the DynaEnergetics and NobelClad businesses. In October 2024, the Company announced that the Board was no longer actively marketing the DynaEnergetics and NobelClad segments. On June 5, 2024, the Company entered into a Stockholder Protection Rights Agreement, pursuant to which the Board declared a dividend of one right for each share of common stock outstanding. On May 30, 2025, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 to extend the expiration time of the rights for one year from June 4, 2025, to June 4, 2026. On June 10, 2025, the Company entered into an amendment to its credit facility (the Second Amendment) to assist with the possible acquisition of the remaining 40% minority interest in Arcadia Products. On December 3, 2024, the Company and the minority interest holder entered into an amendment to the Operating Agreement whereby the minority interest holder agreed not to exercise the Put Option until on or after September 6, 2026, in exchange for a one-time payment of $2,500 . During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recorded restructuring expenses and asset impairments of $3,578 , including contract termination costs of $1,013 and $605 at NobelClad and DynaEnergetics, respectively, employee severance of $1,175 , and an asset impairment of $785 related to the decision to discontinue an internal website and related automation platform. The Company repurchased 72,348 shares of common stock during the quarter ended December 31, 2025, at an average price of $7.85 per share to offset tax withholding obligations. As of December 31, 2025, the value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest under the Operating Agreement was $187,080 .

Consolidated net sales were $609,840 in 2025 versus $642,851 in 2024, a decrease of 5% . The decline was primarily attributable to lower sales at DynaEnergetics and NobelClad. Consolidated gross profit of 22.2% in 2025 decreased from 23.4% in 2024. Net loss attributable to DMC Global Inc. in 2025 was $13,452 , or $(0.90) per diluted share compared with net loss of $94,452 , or $(8.20) per diluted share, in 2024. Net debt, a non-GAAP measure, of $18,746 at December 31, 2025, decreased $37,783 from $56,529 at December 31, 2024. The Company's leverage ratio, calculated in accordance with its credit facility, was 1.22x as of December 31, 2025, and 1.35x as of December 31, 2024.

Business Outlook

DynaEnergetics is exploring growth opportunities in the enhanced geothermal market and has expanded its sales and marketing efforts in certain emerging global shale markets. NobelClad is preparing to pursue additional opportunities with the U.S. Navy following its recently announced plans to accelerate its Naval readiness program. NobelClad's order backlog increased to $62,612 at the end of the fourth quarter of 2025 from $57,040 at the end of the third quarter of 2025, reflecting the receipt of additional orders associated with a previously announced record international chemical project.

Arcadia Products is working to mitigate the impact of persistently high interest rates and generally lower construction activity in its core regional markets, which have created a competitive and challenging bidding environment that has impacted Arcadia Products' ability to fully pass through higher input costs, mainly aluminum, which recently reached a multi-year high. While the business continues to focus on strengthening its core commercial operations, which generate approximately 75% of the segment's sales, the current environment is expected to continue negatively impacting Arcadia Products' net sales and profitability in 2026. DynaEnergetics is continuing a series of initiatives designed to reduce costs and increase market share, intended to offset a potential decline in demand for its well perforating systems during 2026 due to volatile crude oil prices and reduced well completion activity in its core North American onshore market.

Each of the Company's businesses are evaluating additional tariff mitigation strategies and targeted cost reduction programs if business does not improve as 2026 progresses. The decline in consolidated gross profit percentage to 22.2% in 2025 from 23.4% in 2024 was primarily attributable to less favorable project and regional mix at NobelClad, as well as lower absorption of fixed manufacturing overhead costs as a result of the decrease in net sales at both DynaEnergetics and NobelClad.

DynaEnergetics is continuing a series of initiatives designed to reduce costs and increase market share. NobelClad's manufacturing facilities in Pennsylvania and Germany provide production capacity to address projects for its global customer base. The Company's research and development costs were $5,048 , $5,837 , and $6,864 for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively.

Capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment, net of proceeds from reimbursements, were $10,731 in 2025. The Company's credit facility, as amended, provides for a $200,000 revolving loan limit and a $50,000 term loan facility. The credit facility retains a $100,000 accordion feature. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had an outstanding balance of $52.0 million on its syndicated credit agreement. The Company also maintains a line of credit with a German bank for certain European operations with a borrowing capacity of €7,000 . Any determination to pay cash dividends is at the discretion of the Board of Directors.

DynaEnergetics and NobelClad serve the upstream and downstream segments of the oil and gas industry, respectively, and are addressing the impacts of volatile crude oil prices, which traded near multi-year lows at the end of the fourth quarter of 2025. Sales and profitability could be adversely affected if the Company or its customers are unable to mitigate the effects of sustained lower energy prices and tariffs, or if these factors dampen product demand. Arcadia Products is working to mitigate the impact of persistently high interest rates and generally lower construction activity in its core regional markets. The Company's three manufacturing businesses continue to closely monitor challenging macroeconomic conditions, including volatility in global oil and gas markets, persistently high interest rates, and uncertainty around U.S. and reciprocal tariff policies.

Risk Factors

Demand for DynaEnergetics' products is substantially dependent on the levels of capital expenditures by the oil and gas industry, and decreases or expected decreases in oil and gas prices could have a material adverse effect on financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. During the year ended December 31, 2025, one DynaEnergetics customer accounted for approximately 26% of consolidated net sales, exposing the Company to significant customer concentration risk. NobelClad's business is dependent on sales to a limited number of customers in cyclical markets, and its year-end backlog was $62.6 million at the end of fiscal 2025, which may not accurately predict future sales as orders may be rescheduled or canceled. The Company has incurred debt to finance the acquisition of 60% of Arcadia Products and may incur additional substantial financial obligations in connection with the acquisition of the remaining 40% of Arcadia Products, with the value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest at $187,080 as of December 31, 2025. New or existing tariffs and other trade measures could adversely affect results of operations, financial position and cash flows, as the U.S. increased tariffs on steel and aluminum to 50 percent in 2025, impacting the cost of importing these key materials.

Management Priorities

Management's message in the Outlook section of the MD&A conveys a cautious tone, emphasizing that the three manufacturing businesses continue to closely monitor challenging macroeconomic conditions, including volatility in global oil and gas markets, persistently high interest rates, and uncertainty around U.S. and reciprocal tariff policies. Management states that Arcadia Products' current environment is expected to continue negatively impacting its net sales and profitability in 2026. For DynaEnergetics, management notes that a series of initiatives designed to reduce costs and increase market share are intended to offset a potential decline in demand for its well perforating systems during 2026. At NobelClad, management highlights that order backlog increased to $62,612 at the end of the fourth quarter of 2025 from $57,040 at the end of the third quarter of 2025, reflecting the receipt of additional orders associated with a previously announced record international chemical project, and that NobelClad is preparing to pursue additional opportunities with the U.S. Navy. The strategic priorities emphasized for the period ahead include evaluating additional tariff mitigation strategies and targeted cost reduction programs if business does not improve as 2026 progresses.
