Fiscal Year 2026
-
First quarter results exceeded expectations, with volume growth and operational efficiencies driving performance. The second half is expected to be stronger due to seasonal trends, solar and construction project growth, and ongoing productivity initiatives. Strategic review and plant consolidations are progressing.
-
A strategic review is underway, with divestitures and a potential sale being considered. Growth is driven by data centers, solar, and municipal water, while operational initiatives and SKU rationalization are set to improve margins. Adjusted EBITDA is expected to grow in 2027.
-
Q1 net sales and Adjusted EBITDA exceeded guidance, driven by strong electrical segment volume and over $30 million in productivity gains. Full-year outlook is reaffirmed, with mid-single-digit volume growth expected and strategic actions, including facility exits and divestitures, progressing as planned.
Fiscal Year 2025
-
Expanded strategic review now includes a potential sale or merger, alongside ongoing divestitures and facility closures. FY2025 saw solid sales and cash flow, but Q4 was impacted by significant impairments. FY2026 guidance anticipates mid-single digit volume growth, with stronger performance in the second half of the year.
-
Q3 delivered strong results with $735M net sales and $100M adjusted EBITDA, prompting a raised EPS outlook. Tariffs and raw material volatility present headwinds for FY 2026, but productivity gains and strong end-market demand in data centers and solar support a positive long-term view.
-
The company is leveraging its broad U.S. manufacturing footprint, strong brands, and technical expertise to drive growth in electrification, digitization, and infrastructure markets. Financial performance is stable, with targeted investments in service centers, water infrastructure, and value-added services. Tariffs and a focus on domestic sourcing support market share and operational resilience.
-
Q2 FY25 saw $702M in net sales, 5% organic volume growth, and $116M adjusted EBITDA, with strong performance in construction services and metal framing. Despite a $128M impairment charge, full-year guidance is maintained, supported by tariff benefits and robust demand in key segments.
-
Comprehensive product offerings and service drive customer loyalty and premium pricing. Growth is focused on water, mega projects, and Construction Services, while competition and pricing pressures are being managed through guidance adjustments and operational focus. Stock buybacks are prioritized over M&A this year.
-
Q1 results met expectations with $662M in sales and $99M adjusted EBITDA, but increased import competition and price declines, especially in PVC and steel conduit, led to a lower full-year outlook. Growth is expected from construction services and water products, with continued focus on cost control and capital returns.
Fiscal Year 2024
-
Volume growth and strong cash returns to shareholders marked the year, but pricing headwinds in PVC and steel conduit, along with increased competition and imports, are expected to pressure FY 2025 results. Growth initiatives in water, solar, and mega projects are set to drive future upside.
-
Q3 results showed flat organic volume and $822M in net sales, with strong margins but ongoing pricing and import pressures, especially in steel conduit and PVC. Q4 EBITDA guidance was lowered to $145M, and FY2025 EBITDA is estimated at $650M, with growth expected from solar and HDPE initiatives.
