RBC Bearings Q4 CY2024 Revenue Surpasses Expectations, Forecasts Continued Growth

In an impressive display of financial strength, RBC Bearings (NYSE:RBC) has announced its fourth-quarter results for the calendar year 2024, meeting Wall Street's revenue expectations with a 5.5% year-on-year increase to $394.4 million. For more insights into the Q4 performance, visit the original coverage here. The company also forecasts next quarter's revenue to rise to approximately $439 million, outperforming analyst expectations by 0.7%.

RBC Bearings operates within the broader bearings market in the United States, which witnessed an uptick in export activities. As per IndexBox data, the U.S. exported $2.3 billion worth of bearings in 2024, up from $2.2 billion in 2023. Main export destinations saw Mexico receiving $451.7 million worth of bearings in 2024 followed by Canada with $425.8 million. Meanwhile, the import value also rose to $2.6 billion in 2024 from $2.5 billion in 2023, with the largest imports coming from Japan valued at $503.4 million.

Looking at segment performance, RBC Bearings' Aerospace and Defense sector, a dominant component constituting 63.7% of their revenue, saw a remarkable average annual growth rate of 28.8% over the past two years. This growth starkly contrasts with the Diversified Industrials segment, which faced average annual declines of 4.8% during the same period.

Additionally, RBC Bearings has strengthened its financial metrics, reporting a non-GAAP profit of $2.34 per share, which surpassed analysts' consensus by 6.3%. This aligns with the positive trend in the company's earnings per share, marked by a robust two-year annual EPS growth rate of 24.8%, outpacing the five-year trend.

Overall, RBC Bearings' continued growth in revenue and profitability, amid an increasing demand in the Aerospace & Defense segment and robust market performance in exports, suggests a promising outlook as they track well above critical financial health measures.
