SEC filingRevenue fell 7.8% YoY in Q2 2025 as losses widened, driven by Harsco Environmental and Rail headwinds, partially offset by Clean Earth growth.
In Q2 2025, the company reported total revenues of $562.3 million, down 7.8% from $610.0 million in Q2 2024. The decline was primarily driven by a $34.9 million drop in Harsco Environmental (HE) due to divestitures of Performix and Reed and net contract losses, and a $23.0 million decrease in Harsco Rail from lower equipment sales and volume. Clean Earth grew $10.2 million (4.3%) on pricing and volume mix in hazardous waste. Consolidated cost of services and products sold fell 3.6% to $463.2 million, but not enough to offset revenue declines. SG&A increased 5.6% to $95.5 million due to higher compensation and professional fees, partially offset by a lower credit loss provision. Operating income swung from a gain of $31.3 million to a loss of $7.2 million, with operating margin falling from 5.1% to -1.3%. Net loss from continuing operations widened to $45.9 million from $10.2 million, with diluted EPS of -$0.58 versus -$0.16. The effective income tax rate was -8.5%, compared to -3,036.4% in the prior year, due to lower taxable income in certain jurisdictions and a $5.7 million out-of-period adjustment.
Management discussed exit from a downstream products business in France and ongoing impacts from tariffs and trade tensions. The company noted it continues to assess tariff impacts. No specific revenue or earnings guidance was provided. The company expects sufficient liquidity from operations and borrowings under its Senior Secured Credit Facilities and AR Facility to meet needs. Debt covenant ratios at June 30, 2025 were net debt to EBITDA of 4.75x (maximum 5.00x) and interest coverage of 2.84x (minimum 2.50x). Management believes it will maintain compliance but noted risks from economic conditions, tariffs, and inflation.
As of June 30, 2025, Enviri held $97.8M in cash and equivalents, plus $15.7M restricted cash. Total debt stood at $1.507B (net of $10.9M deferred financing costs), up from $1.432B at year-end 2024 due to $62M net revolver draws and $2.5M term loan repayments. The net debt to EBITDA leverage covenant was 4.75x, with $76.6M headroom. The company also maintained a $160M AR facility (fully utilized) and factoring arrangements.
Enviri’s largest commitments stem from long-term fixed-price contracts in the Harsco Rail segment, with remaining performance obligations (RPO) of $98.0M (SBB, Network Rail, Deutsche Bahn). Forward loss provisions on these contracts totaled $11.3M in H1 2025, including a $13.3M favorable adjustment on the Deutsche Bahn contract via a contract amendment. Harsco Environmental has $67.6M in RPO. Environmental liabilities total $54.1M, with $10.9M current. The company also faces multiple legal contingencies, including a Brazilian environmental dispute with a proposed $12M payment, though the company contests liability.
Capital expenditures were $60.7M in H1 2025 (5.5% of sales), flat year-over-year. No share buybacks or common dividends were disclosed. Debt reduction was minimal ($2.5M term loan repayments); net debt increased due to revolver draws. The company’s primary capital allocation focus appears to be managing liquidity and covenant compliance.
The three segments reported the following H1 2025 performance:
Enviri's CFO of $28.6M for H1 2025 comfortably exceeded the net loss of ($58.7M), driven by large non-cash adjustments: depreciation of $74.3M, amortization of $15.0M, stock-based compensation of $9.8M, and a property, plant and equipment impairment charge of $7.4M. However, working capital consumed cash, notably an accounts receivable increase of $14.3M, inventory build of $8.3M, and a decrease in advances on contracts of $18.3M. Capex remained elevated at $60.7M, resulting in a negative free cash flow (if computed) of ~$32M, which was funded by net borrowings of $67.8M (short-term and revolving credit facility). The prior-year period generated CFO of $40.4M on a smaller net loss of ($28.0M), with a similar capex level. The decline in CFO reflects softer operating performance and adverse working capital movements. Investing cash flow worsened due to the absence of $16.6M in sale of business proceeds and $17M in notes receivable proceeds received in H1 2024. Financing activities provided $54.1M in H1 2025 versus a use of $28.5M in H1 2024, driven by net revolver borrowings of $62M. No common dividends or share repurchases were reported.
