Knowles Reports Q4 & Full Year 2025 Financial Results and Provides Outlook for Q1 2026

Knowles Corporation reported fourth-quarter 2025 revenues from continuing operations of $162.2 million, a 14% year-over-year increase that exceeded the high end of its guided range.
Full-year 2025 revenues from continuing operations reached $593.2 million, representing a 7% year-over-year increase and surpassing the high end of its five-year organic growth target.
Fourth-quarter net cash from operations was $47.2 million, exceeding the high end of the guided range, while full-year net cash from operations totaled $114 million, or 19.2% of revenues.
Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share for the fourth quarter were $0.36, and for the full year were $1.11, both exceeding the mid-point or high end of respective guided ranges.
The company completed its transformation into a high-margin Industrial Technology company following the December 2024 sale of its Consumer MEMS Microphone business.
Q1 2026 revenues from continuing operations are projected to range between $143 million and $153 million, with non-GAAP diluted earnings per share expected between $0.22 and $0.26.
Full-year 2025 non-GAAP gross profit was $263.7 million, representing 44.5% of revenues, compared to $245.4 million (44.3%) in 2024.
Cash provided by operating activities enabled further debt reduction and share buybacks, with $65 million spent on repurchasing common stock during 2025.
Long-term debt decreased to $114.0 million at year-end 2025 from $134.0 million in 2024, while current maturities of long-term debt were eliminated to $0.
Knowles expects strong momentum in 2026 driven by revenue growth acceleration in the back half of 2025, expanding margins, and a robust backlog of orders and design wins.
