(Batesville, IN) – Hillenbrand Inc. is reporting a fiscal full-year net loss of $2.4 million in 2025, compared to a loss of $139.4 million the previous year.
The results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year, which ended September 30, are part of an earnings report that comes less than a month after the Batesville-based company announced plans to be acquired by an affiliate of Texas-based private investment firm Lone Star Funds for $3.8 billion.
“Our teams delivered strong results in the fourth quarter, underpinned by focused execution of our strategic initiatives amid the evolving macroeconomic backdrop,” said Kim Ryan, President and Chief Executive Officer of Hillenbrand. “Over the past several years, Hillenbrand has transformed into a pure-play global industrial company, strategically invested in the business, and carefully managed costs. The transformation, along with these other actions, helped position us for long-term success and led to external interest in Hillenbrand. We are excited about the pending acquisition by Lone Star and remain focused on serving our customers through the transition period.”
It was announced on October 15 that Hillenbrand entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired in an all-cash transaction.
Under terms of the agreement, Hillenbrand shareholders will receive $32.00 per share in cash.
The transaction was unanimously approved by the company’s Board of Directors and is expected to close by the end of the first quarter of calendar year 2026, subject to customary closing conditions, including approval by Hillenbrand shareholders and receipt of required regulatory approvals.
Upon completion of the transaction, Hillenbrand will become a privately held company, and its shares will no longer trade on the New York Stock Exchange.
