Net sales decreased from $5,074.4 million to $4,960.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and from $14,742.8 million to $14,606.9 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2025. This decrease was primarily due to lower sales in the Diversified Industrial segment, partially offset by higher sales in the Aerospace Systems segment.
Gross profit margin increased in both the current-year quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2025. This was attributed to higher margins in both segments, primarily resulting from price increases, favorable product mix, and cost containment, as well as benefits from prior-year business realignment activities.
Net income increased from $726.7 million to $961.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and from $2,059.9 million to $2,608.4 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2025. This increase was driven by the improved gross margin and a decrease in interest expense due to lower average debt outstanding.
