The company cited unfavorable currency exchange rates as the primary reason for the revision. However, Pirelli maintained its EBIT margin target at approximately 16% and narrowed its free cash flow forecast to €550 million from the previous range of €550–570 million. Morgan Stanley analysts noted that the company's guide is now in line with consensus expectations (+0.6%) at the midpoint [1].
Pirelli's second-quarter net profit rose 4.5% year-on-year to €136.8 million, while adjusted earnings increased 0.7% to €278.5 million. Quarterly revenue dipped 0.7% to €1.74 billion, in line with analyst expectations, but grew 4% on an organic basis, excluding currency effects. Adjusted operating profit and net income also came in ahead of consensus forecasts of €275 million and €123 million, respectively [1].
Exponent (NASDAQ:EXPO), a consulting firm specializing in engineering and scientific problem-solving, reported $142.0 million in total revenue (GAAP) for Q2 FY2025, a 1% increase from Q2 FY2024, narrowly exceeding its own expectations for flat to slightly lower growth. Diluted earnings per share (GAAP) was $0.52 in Q2 FY2025, down from $0.57 per diluted share (GAAP) in Q2 FY2024. While revenue edged up, profitability narrowed, with EBITDA (non-GAAP) and net income both declining year over year due to rising operating costs. Overall, the quarter demonstrated stable performance, mainly due to reactive, dispute-related engagements, but highlighted ongoing margin pressure and mixed demand trends across segments [2].
