How does the reported net income and EPS for Q2 2025 compare with the prior quarter and the same quarter last year?
Answer
The press‑release excerpt you shared does not contain the actual net‑income or earnings‑per‑share (EPS) figures for Q2 2025, nor does it give the comparable numbers for the prior quarter (Q1 2025) or for Q2 2024. Because those specific amounts are missing, we can’t calculate or describe how Q2 2025’s net income and EPS differ from:
- The prior quarter (Q1 2025)
- The same quarter in the previous year (Q2 2024)
What to do next
Locate the full press release – The complete Q2 2025 results are published on Itafos’ website (www.itafos.com) and in the SEC/SEDAR filing at www.sedarplus.ca. The full document will list the net‑income (in $ thousands) and the diluted EPS for Q2 2025, as well as a “quarter‑over‑quarter” and “year‑over‑year” comparison table.
Identify the comparison figures – In the full release you’ll typically see a line‑item such as:
- Net income (loss) for Q2 2025: $ X million (or $ X k)
- Net income (loss) for Q1 2025: $ Y million (or $ Y k)
- Net income (loss) for Q2 2024: $ Z million (or $ Z k)
- Diluted EPS Q2 2025: $ A
- Diluted EPS Q1 2025: $ B
- Diluted EPS Q2 2024: $ C
Calculate the changes – Once you have the three numbers, you can compute:
- Quarter‑over‑quarter change = (Net income Q2 2025 – Net income Q1 2025) / Net income Q1 2025 × 100 % (and the same for EPS).
- Year‑over‑year change = (Net income Q2 2025 – Net income Q2 2024) / Net income Q2 2024 × 100 % (and the same for EPS).
Summarize the results – For example, you could state: “Net income rose 15 % from the prior quarter and 22 % versus Q2 2024, while diluted EPS increased 12 % quarter‑over‑quarter and 18 % year‑over‑year.” (Replace the percentages with the actual calculations once the numbers are known.)
Quick Checklist for Finding the Data
| Where to look | What you’ll find |
|---|---|
| Itafos’ Investor Relations page (www.itafos.com) – “Press releases” or “Financial results” section | Full Q2 2025 earnings release (PDF) with a “Financial Highlights” table. |
| SEDAR filing (www.sedarplus.ca) – search for “Itafos Inc. Q2 2025 results” | The same PDF or a HTML version of the MD&A that includes the net‑income and EPS figures. |
| Webcast replay (available on Aug 11 2025) | Management’s commentary may also read out the net‑income and EPS numbers and the comparative percentages. |
If you still cannot locate the numbers
- Contact Itafos’ Investor Relations – An email address or phone number is usually listed at the bottom of the press‑release.
- Check financial news aggregators (e.g., Bloomberg, Reuters, Yahoo! Finance) – They often post a summary of the key metrics shortly after the company releases its results.
Bottom line: Based solely on the excerpt you provided, we don’t have the net‑income or EPS values needed to answer the comparison question. Retrieve the full Q2 2025 earnings release from Itafos’ website or the SEDAR filing, extract the three relevant figures (Q2 2025, Q1 2025, Q2 2024), and then you can compute the quarter‑over‑quarter and year‑over‑year changes. If you obtain those numbers and share them here, I can gladly perform the calculations and give you a precise comparative analysis.
