Atmus Projects Revenue Growth for 2026 as Industrial Solutions Segment Launches
New Industrial Solutions Segment Expected to Drive 2026 Expansion
Atmus Filtration Technologies (NYSE: ATMU), a global leader in filtration and media solutions, is entering 2026 with a newly established Industrial Solutions segment after its recent acquisition of Koch Filter Corporation. This move positions Atmus to broaden its reach into commercial HVAC, data centers, and power generation — sectors experiencing high growth — while it maintains strength in its core Power Solutions business. The company’s refreshed structure reflects a strategic expansion into resilient end markets, complementing its established presence in on- and off-highway equipment industries.
2025 Performance Highlights: Margin Expansion and Strong Cash Generation
In 2025, Atmus demonstrated notable operational strength, achieving net sales of $1.76 billion, up 5.7% from the prior year. Gross margins advanced to 28.2% from 27.7%, while adjusted EBITDA margin improved to 20%. Net income grew to $207 million, delivering diluted EPS of $2.50 and adjusted EPS of $2.73. Cash provided by operating activities nearly doubled to $203 million, supporting $158 million in adjusted free cash flow — up 38% year-over-year. This robust performance enabled Atmus to return $78 million to investors through dividends and share repurchases in 2025, with $69 million in authorized share repurchases still available entering 2026.

2026 Outlook Affirms Leadership in Both Core and New Markets
For 2026, Atmus forecasts total company revenue in the range of $1.95 billion to $2.02 billion, reflecting both organic growth and the integration of Koch Filter. The Power Solutions segment is projected to contribute $1.79–$1.85 billion, while Industrial Solutions enters with $155–$165 million. Management aims for an adjusted EBITDA margin between 19.5% and 20.5% and adjusted EPS between $2.75 and $3.00, indicating confidence in sustainable profitability even as the company invests for future growth.
Shareholder Returns Positioned for Consistency
Shareholder-friendly policies remain a focus. Having returned $78 million via $61 million in share repurchases and $17 million in dividends during 2025, Atmus’s board maintains a $150 million repurchase authorization — with $69 million unspent as of year-end. This capital allocation signals ongoing commitment to rewarding shareholders as operating cash generation remains strong.
What Might Investors Watch Going Forward?
With the Industrial Solutions launch and a disciplined margin profile, Atmus enters 2026 on solid footing. Investors will want to track early contribution from the Koch Filter acquisition and management’s execution on growth and margin targets. Consistent cash flow generation and measured capital returns could make ATMU a name to watch as it expands beyond its traditional markets.
