Here are the key takeaways from Ralliant’s conference call:

• Q3 revenue rose 17% to $620 million, with organic growth in both segments, and results exceeded the high end of company guidance. Ralliant raised full-year 2026 guidance, including revenue of $2.34 billion–$2.36 billion and adjusted EPS of $3.10–$3.16.
• Adjusted EBITDA margin expanded 400 basis points to 23.5% on a normalized basis, supported by volume, pricing and accelerated productivity savings; excluding a $7 million tariff-refund benefit, expansion was about 290 basis points. Ralliant raised its 2026 in-year productivity savings estimate to $16 million–$18 million and expects $30 million–$35 million in annualized savings exiting the year.
• Demand and backlog strengthened in defense and utilities: defense backlog exceeded $1.5 billion, while utilities posted record orders and revenue. Management cited multi-year defense visibility and ongoing capacity investments, while noting the Ohio facility would add capacity beyond what it expects to need through 2027.
• Management cited elevated inflation and supply constraints, and said the tariff-refund benefit included in 2026 guidance will not recur in 2027. Western Europe revenue declined 3%, with cautious machine-building customers, and the company expects normal seasonal declines in revenue and margins from Q4 to Q1.
