Tools, tool storage and equipment manufacturer Snap-on shared its 2025 second quarter financial results on July 17, showing a slight decline in organic sales year-over-year while total sales remained unchanged.

Kenosha, WI-based Snap-on posted 2Q25 sales of $1.17 billion, unchanged year-over-year, with organic sales down 0.7% offset by an $8.6 million increase in favorable foreign currency translation.

Snap-on’s 2Q gross margin dipped 10 basis points year-over-year to 40.5%, reflecting 50 bps of foreign currency headwind, partially offset by benefits from the company’s Rapid Continuous Improvement initiatives. 2Q operating profit of $327 million (25.5% margin) trailed the $350.5 million (27.4% margin) of a year earlier, while net profit of $250 million trailed the $271 million of a year earlier.

“Despite the volatile nature of the ongoing environment, we believe our deeply-rooted strategy to make in the markets where we sell, our structural strengths in broadly established facilities, know-how and people and our strong commitment to our Snap-on Value Creation processes, position us well in navigating the multi-varied challenges of today and tomorrow,” Snap-on Chairman and CEO Nick Pinchuk said in the company’s financial release. “As such, we proceed with confidence that our balanced approach of growth and improvement will prevail as we move forward and upward.
