Tools &amp; Outdoor segment margin was 9.2%, down 10 bps YoY, and adjusted segment&nbsp;margin rose to 10.2% (+20 bps), supported by supply chain transformation despite higher costs and growth investments.
Industrial net sales declined 15% YoY, with flat organic sales. Industrial&nbsp;segment margin dropped to 10.7% from 11.2% and an adjusted margin was 10.7% vs. 11.1%, primarily due to lower automotive volume.
Operating cash flow for the quarter was $679 million, compared to $769.3 million a year ago. Free cash flow was ~$565 million. Stanley held $290.5 million in cash and equivalents as of December 28, 2024.
In the fourth quarter, Stanley Black &amp; Decker&#8217;s Global Cost Reduction Program generated $110 million in additional pre-tax savings, contributing to total savings of approximately $1.5 billion since mid-2022 and supporting a return to 35%+ adjusted gross margins.
&#8220;With the recent tariff announcements, we are preparing for a dynamic backdrop in 2025 and expect to respond with supply chain and price actions designed to mitigate the impact from such tariffs to maintain our margin objectives, which enable us to fuel innovation and brand building. Our top priorities remain delivering margin expansion, cash generation and restoring balance sheet strength over the next 12 to 18 months to position the company for long-term growth and value creation,&#8221; commented Patrick D. Hallinan, Executive Vice President and CFO.
2025 Outlook: Excluding new tariffs, Stanley Black &amp; Decker expects GAAP EPS of $4.05 (+/- $0.65) and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance">adjusted EPS of $5.25 (+/- $0.50) versus consensus of $5.38.</a>
The GAAP-to-adjusted EPS difference of $1.05 to $1.35 mainly reflects charges from the Global Cost Reduction Program&#8217;s supply chain transformation.
The company sees free cash flow of $750 million (+/—$100 million), excluding new tariffs.
The company plans to provide its base planning assumptions and commentary on the current tariff environment. In its conference call, the company said it sees annualized, unmitigated hit of around $90 million &#8211; $100 million if 10% China tariffs remain.
Price Action: SWK shares are trading lower by 5.67% at $81.75 premarket at the last check Wednesday.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.
