Factors to Note

Recovery in the oil & gas end market due to increasing oil prices is expected to have aided Enerpac Tool’s fiscal fourth-quarter performance. Cost-reduction initiatives and pricing actions are likely to have supported the company’s margin performance.

However, supply chain and logistics challenges as well as raw material and manufacturing cost inflation might have impacted EPAC’s bottom line in the to-be-reported quarter. Given the company’s substantial international exposure, foreign currency headwinds are likely to have weighed on the top line.
