BROOMFIELD, Colo., Nov. 04, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- DMC Global Inc. (Nasdaq: BOOM) today reported financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2024. As the Company recently announced, weakness in the U.S. construction and energy services industries negatively affected the performance of DMC’s two largest businesses.

At Arcadia, DMC’s architectural building products business, persistent high interest rates have impacted sales to the high-end luxury home market and have resulted in continued soft commercial construction activity. Under the direction of a new interim business president, Arcadia is executing a series of internal initiatives designed to strengthen sourcing and supply chain functions; improve sales, inventory and operations planning processes; and more effectively leverage Arcadia’s enterprise resource planning system. The business is also reviewing certain product lines that have not consistently met profitability targets.

Arcadia’s improvement initiatives are being led by interim president Chris Scocos, who joined the business in September 2024 with a 25-year track record of implementing lean manufacturing, process improvement and operational excellence programs for industrial manufacturing businesses across a broad range of industries, including building materials and industrial manufactured products.

Results at DynaEnergetics, DMC’s energy products business, reflect a further market-driven decline in U.S. well completions, which were down 6% sequentially and 13% versus last year’s third quarter. DynaEnergetics’ results also were impacted by a lower-margin customer mix. New automated assembly systems at DynaEnergetics’ U.S. manufacturing center in Blum, Texas, as well as a streamlined, next-generation model of its DynaStage perforating system, are expected to help strengthen DynaEnergetics’ profit margins beginning next year.

NobelClad, DMC’s composite metals business, delivered another solid quarter and achieved adjusted EBITDA margins of more than 23%. Management believes additional large order opportunities and continued strong demand for NobelClad’s Cylindra™ cryogenic transition joints will offset a recent slowdown in repair and maintenance work in North America’s downstream energy industry.
