Q2 FY26 earnings call · Jul 29, 2026
Q2 FY26

TL;DR. Hayward posted 6% Q2 net sales growth (H1 +9%), 8% adjusted diluted EPS growth to $0.26, and reaffirmed full-year 2026 guidance of ~5% net sales growth and $0.84–$0.87 adjusted diluted EPS, while completing a debt refinancing that extended maturities to 2033 and reduced net leverage to 1.5x, the lowest since IPO.

Bullish
  • + Q2 net sales rose 6% to $318.4M and H1 sales rose 9% with North America up 9% in Q2.
  • + Net leverage fell to 1.5x, the lowest since the 2021 IPO, and the company repurchased $64M of stock in H1.

Bearish

  • − H1 operating cash flow declined $16.8M year over year to $171.6M, driven by higher payments for accrued expenses.
