Regal Rexnord’s Thomson Power Systems designs and manufactures critical electrical gear that sits between a building’s main power and its backup source. Its core products are automatic transfer switches (ATS) and switchgear, which monitor for power interruptions and seamlessly switch to a backup generator to keep important facilities—like hospitals and data centers—online. The system works with microprocessor-based controls to monitor power conditions and execute transfers quickly and safely, ensuring minimal downtime during outages. The company differentiates itself through a long, focused history in power-control engineering, a niche specialization in backup power for critical infrastructure, and its integration into the Regal Rexnord portfolio, which provides broader industrial component resources and support. The goal is to give reliable, automatic backup power so essential operations stay powered when the main grid falters.

Regal Rexnord Provides Update On Tariff-Related Impacts

MILWAUKEE, March 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Regal Rexnord Corporation (NYSE: RRX), in conjunction with its participation at the Bank of America Global Industrials Conference 2025 in London, is providing the investment community with additional clarity related to estimated impacts from current and potential U.S. tariffs on imports from Canada, China, and Mexico, as well as on steel and aluminum.Based on information currently available, and excluding the potential impacts from any retaliatory tariffs, the Company estimates a gross, unmitigated annualized cost impact from tariffs that are currently in place at approximately $60 million. This estimate reflects that the vast majority of goods the Company imports from Canada and Mexico are compliant with the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) and so are currently exempt from tariffs.The Company has well-developed plans in place intended to fully mitigate the impacts of tariffs in the year – at current levels and under a scenario where there is no USMCA exclusion. These mitigation plans may include supply chain realignments, production relocations, and productivity and pricing actions, and should enable the Company to be at least price/cost neutral on a dollar basis. The Company expects to be neutral on a margin basis by the end of 2025 under the tariff regime currently in effect, or by the first half of 2026 under a scenario where there are no USMCA exclusions.The Company is further clarifying that tariffs currently in place are expected to have a negligible impact on the Company's first quarter 2025 results.The Company undertakes no obligation to update the information in this press release related to the impacts of tariffs on future quarters, although it may do so from time to time as it believes is appropriate and as clarity around the tariff terms and duration, as well as progress on its mitigation efforts, becomes available.About Regal RexnordRegal Rexnord's 30,000 associates around the world help create a better tomorrow by providing sustainable solutions that power, transmit and control motion.
