“LSI delivered
“Our integrated, solutions-based model is gaining significant traction in the marketplace, positioning us for a solid start to our fiscal third quarter,” continued Clark. “Second quarter order rates increased versus the prior year, resulting in a

“In the fiscal second quarter, we successfully managed the Department of Energy legislation requiring end of life production for refrigerated display cases utilizing the current R448 technology at calendar year-end, with conversion to R290 and other technologies effective January 1, 2025. We worked closely with our customers to proactively plan and adopt the technology transition, including the launch of our new R290 product line. We are well positioned to capitalize on increased demand levels for display case products throughout the calendar year.
“EMI delivered a solid performance in the second quarter, contributing to the over
“Within the Lighting segment, overall sales were lower year-over-year against a challenging prior year comparison. Last year, we had several large lighting projects, including a multi-million-dollar installation at a new EV battery plant complex, that did not recur in the current year. While small project activity levels were healthy during the second quarter, those projects were not sufficient to offset softness in large project activity, resulting in a
“Importantly, Lighting segment project quote activity remains above prior-year levels, contributing to a segment book-to-bill of 1.1 exiting the second quarter which, on a historical basis, is elevated entering a seasonally slower period for our construction markets. While our Lighting segment backlog was
“Innovation and new product vitality remains a central focus for our business. Over the last four years, we’ve launched more than 30 new products each year. In fiscal 2025, we anticipate more than 40 new product launches and refreshes, consistent with an innovation roadmap created to exceed specific customer requirements across each vertical market. During the second quarter, we launched multiple commercial programs designed to further accelerate adoption of our recent product launches, including our V-LOCITY series of outdoor area lights, new continuous indoor Linear fixtures, and Zone High Bay for sports court applications. Enhanced training and marketing programs for our sales force, agency partners, and customers have led to accelerated adoption of new products, consistent with our commercial strategy.”
Clark concluded, “LSI remains well positioned to drive continued, profitable growth entering the second half of our fiscal year 2025. Order rates and backlog remain strong; demand conditions across most end-markets are robust; and we’re capitalizing on favorable, multi-year secular opportunities where our vertically integrated, solutions-based model is uniquely suited to support our growing base of customers. We also continue to prioritize a combination of organic and inorganic growth, as outlined within our Fast Forward strategy, while maintaining our disciplined, returns-driven approach toward capital deployment.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release includes adjustments to GAAP operating income, net income, and earnings per share for the three and six months ended December 31, 2024, and 2023. Operating income, net income, and earnings per share, which exclude the impact of long-term performance based compensation expense, the amortization expense of acquired intangible assets, commercial growth opportunity expense, acquisition costs, the lease expense on the step-up basis of acquired leases, and restructuring and severance costs, are non-GAAP financial measures. We further note that while the amortization expense of acquired intangible assets is excluded from the measures, the revenue of the acquired companies is reflected in the measures and the acquired assets contribute to revenue generation. We exclude these items because we believe they are not representative of the ongoing results of the operations of the business. Also included in this press release are non-GAAP financial measures, including Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA), Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow, and organic sales growth. We believe that these are useful as supplemental measures in assessing the operating performance of our business. These measures are used by our management, including our chief operating decision maker, to evaluate business results, and are frequently referenced by those who follow the Company. These non-GAAP measures may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. In addition, the non-GAAP measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. Non-GAAP measures have limitations, in that they do not reflect all amounts associated with our results as determined in accordance with
