Episode notes
Wildfire Activity Boosts Perimeter Sales
- Perimeter Solutions saw a 48% YoY rise in fire safety revenues in Q1 due to increased wildfire activity in California.
- The company downplays the impact based on acreage burned, but management expects more investment in aerial capacity for fire retardant deployment.
Specialty Segment Sales Lost Permanently
- Specialty product segment lagged due to a third-party manufacturer's plant outage causing lost and unrecoverable sales.
- Sales lost to competitors are unlikely to be regained, but this segment is not a major growth driver for Perimeter Solutions.
Niche PCB Acquisition Strategy Unveiled
- Perimeter's first platform acquisition in niche printed circuit boards (PCBs) targets small markets with IP protections and production know-how.
- This strategy avoids competing on commoditized PCBs and focuses on margin-rich niche applications, offering growth potential.
