Stanley Black&nbsp;&amp; Decker&nbsp;reported a fourth-quarter sales decline of 0.43% year over year to $3.720 billion, beating the consensus estimate of $3.580 billion.

&#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 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.
