Manitowoc Reports Solid Q4 Results, Guides for Improved 2026

Published on Feb. 12, 2026

Manitowoc (NYSE:MTW) reported fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 results that management said were in line with expectations, highlighted by a sharp increase in quarterly orders, year-over-year sales growth, and progress in expanding its aftermarket and other 'non-new machine' revenue streams. The company provided 2026 guidance for net sales of $2.25 billion to $2.35 billion and adjusted EBITDA of $125 million to $150 million, driven by pricing actions, the European tower crane market, and continued growth in the non-new machine business.

Why it matters

Manitowoc's results and outlook provide insight into the health of the global construction equipment market, which has faced headwinds from trade tensions and other macroeconomic factors. The company's focus on expanding its aftermarket and non-new machine sales reflects an effort to diversify its revenue streams and reduce cyclicality.

The details

For the fourth quarter, Manitowoc posted net sales of $677 million, up 14% year-over-year, driven by strong shipments in North America, European tower cranes, and continued growth from the company's non-new machine sales strategy. Non-new machine sales in the quarter were $191 million. Adjusted EBITDA was $40 million, up $5 million year-over-year, for an adjusted EBITDA margin of 5.8%. Tariffs unfavorably impacted quarterly results by $4 million. For the full year, Manitowoc reported net sales of $2.24 billion and adjusted EBITDA of $122 million, in line with expectations. Tariffs had a gross unfavorable impact of $39 million for the year, which the company mitigated approximately 85% through pricing and sourcing actions.
