Grounding quotes
  • “The macro environment remained very soft during the fourth quarter, consistent with what we expected coming into the period. End markets did not improve meaningfully, and demand across both new construction and repair and remodel continued to be under pressure.”
  • “Market conditions remain soft, and we are not counting on a near-term recovery, but we are improving execution and putting in place operating practices that position the business to perform better when demand eventually improves.”
  • “For the full year, we delivered sales of $3.2 billion and adjusted EBITDA of $120 million. While that result was at the high end of the guidance we provided after the third quarter, it is well below where we expected to finish the year when we began.”
  • “we took deliberate labor and cost actions to better align the business with market conditions consistent with what we outlined in November, including reducing full-time positions by approximately 14 percent or about 2,300 people in full year 2025.”
