Vontier (NYSE:VNT) issued its earnings results on Thursday. The company reported $0.86 earnings per share for the quarter, topping the consensus estimate of $0.85 by $0.01, FiscalAI reports. Vontier had a net margin of 13.20% and a return on equity of 39.25%. The company had revenue of $808.50 million during the quarter, compared to the consensus estimate of $765.12 million. During the same quarter in the prior year, the firm posted $0.80 EPS. Vontier’s quarterly revenue was up 4.1% compared to the same quarter last year.

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

• Vontier finished 2025 strong — Q4 core sales were +5%, full-year organic sales ~4%, adjusted EPS was up ~11%, and the company generated over $460 million in adjusted free cash flow (~15% of sales).
• Strong cash allocation and balance sheet flexibility — Vontier repurchased $300 million of stock in 2025 (including $125M in Q4), ended the year with nearly $500 million cash and reduced net leverage to 2.3x.
• Momentum in Mobility Technologies — Invenco closed the year with a revenue base near $650 million (organic +22%), driven by new products (FlexPay 6, NFX, vehicle ID, indoor terminal) and a strategic win for its unified payment solution with a global C?store customer.
• One-time headwinds pressured margins — a $4 million Invenco inventory reserve (legacy inventory) and higher corporate healthcare costs reduced Q4 adjusted operating margins and contributed to a ~200 bps decline in MobilityTech segment margins for the quarter.
• 2026 guidance and efficiency actions — Vontier expects ~3% core growth, ~80 bps operating margin expansion at the midpoint, ~$15 million of in?year simplification savings (largely ramping H2), and ~95% adjusted free cash flow conversion (~15% of sales).
