Hawkins beats Q4 estimates, shares rise on strong results

Investing.com -- Hawkins , Inc. (NASDAQ:HWKN) reported better-than-expected fourth quarter results and provided an upbeat outlook, sending shares up 2.7% in after-hours trading.

The water treatment and specialty ingredients company posted adjusted earnings per share of $0.78 for the quarter ended March 30, 2025, surpassing analyst estimates of $0.73. Revenue came in at $245.3 million, also beating expectations of $227.99 million.

Hawkins saw strong growth across all segments, with Water Treatment leading the way with a 21% year-over-year sales increase to $105 million. The Industrial and Health and Nutrition segments also contributed to the company’s 10% overall revenue growth.

"Fiscal 2025 was another exciting year of growth for our company," said Patrick H. Hawkins, CEO and President. "We are extremely proud of our accomplishments over the past year that allowed us to achieve these record levels."

For the full fiscal year 2025, Hawkins reported record sales of $974.4 million, up 6% YoY, and record adjusted EBITDA of $167.5 million, a 17% increase over fiscal 2024.

Looking ahead, the company expects to surpass $1 billion in revenue for the first time in fiscal 2026 and projects continued earnings growth, albeit at a slower pace due to higher interest and amortization expenses related to recent acquisitions.

The positive market reaction suggests investors are encouraged by Hawkins’ strong performance and optimistic outlook despite some headwinds.
