In 2024, A. O. Smith Corporation reported sales of $3.8 billion, which is a 1% decline mainly due to lower sales in China. The net earnings were $533.6 million, resulting in diluted earnings per share (EPS) of $3.63, a decrease of 2% attributed to reduced sales and restructuring costs. The company returned $496 million to shareholders through dividends and share buybacks, and the acquisition of Pureit had little effect on the overall results for the year.
