CEO Commentary:
“Our first quarter was a great start to 2025,” stated Brad Bourne, President and CEO of FTG. “All metrics in the quarter were positive from bookings, to sales, to margins, to net income and cash flow, showing that our investments in technology, operational performance and our acquisitions are all helping to position us for success. We are seeing strong end market demand and the current situation from tariffs levied by the US does not appear to have any direct impact on us.”
