This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, other periodic reports filed by us under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and other written or oral statements made from time to time by our management contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Terms such as “may,” “intend,” “might,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “expect,” “believe,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “predict,” “project,” “potential,” or the negative of these terms, and similar expressions often signify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that are beyond our control, and because they also relate to the future, they are likewise subject to inherent uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from the views, beliefs, and projections expressed in such statements. Further, any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which it is made or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following:
•cyclicality in residential and commercial construction markets;

•laws and government regulations applicable to our business that could negatively impact demand for our products;
•public perceptions that our products and services are not environmentally friendly or that our practices are not sustainable;
•competitive industry pressures, including competition for our talent base;
•supply chain disruptions (including as a result of the imposition of U.S. tariffs), product or labor shortages, and the loss of key suppliers;
•inventory management risks;
•ability to implement our business strategies and achieve our growth objectives;
•acquisition and integration risks, including increased competition for acquisitions;
•risks associated with our large labor force and our customers’ labor force and labor market disruptions;
•retention of key personnel;

•impairment of goodwill;
•adverse credit and financial markets events and conditions;
•inefficient or ineffective allocation of capital;
•credit sale risks;
•performance of individual branches;
•cybersecurity incidents involving our systems or third-party systems;
•failure or malfunctions in our information technology systems;
•security of personal information about our customers;
•intellectual property and other proprietary rights;
•unanticipated changes in our tax provisions, including those resulting from the passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act;
•threats from terrorism, violence, uncertain political conditions, and geopolitical conflicts such as the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the conflict in the Gaza Strip, and unrest in the Middle East;
•risks related to our current indebtedness, including with respect to elevated interest rates on our variable indebtedness, and our ability to obtain financing in the future;
•financial institution disruptions;
•risks related to our common stock; and
2
•risks related to other factors discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
You should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Factors or events that could cause our actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible to predict all of them. We assume no obligation and do not intend to update or revise any forward-looking statements that are made from time to time, either as a result of future developments, new information or otherwise, except as may be required by law.
Comparisons of results for current and any prior periods are not intended to express any future trends, or indications of future performance, unless expressed as such, and should only be viewed as historical data.

Note 1. Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Business
SiteOne Landscape Supply, Inc. (hereinafter collectively with all its consolidated subsidiaries referred to as the “Company”) is a wholesale distributor of irrigation supplies, hardscapes (including pavers, natural stone, and blocks), fertilizer and control products (e.g., herbicides), landscape accessories, nursery goods, outdoor lighting, and ice melt products to green industry professionals. The Company also provides value-added consultative services to complement its product offering and to help customers operate and grow their businesses. Substantially all of the Company’s sales are to customers located in the United States of America (“U.S.”), with less than three 680 branches. Based on the nature of the Company’s products and customers’ business cycles, sales are significantly higher in the second and third quarters of each fiscal year.
Share Repurchase Program
On October 20, 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase, at any time or from time to time, shares of the Company’s common stock having an aggregate purchase price not to exceed $400.0 million pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 plan and/or pursuant to open market or accelerated share repurchase arrangements, tender offers, or privately negotiated transactions. The repurchase authorization does not have an expiration date and may be amended, suspended, or terminated by the Company’s Board of Directors at any time.
The following table summarizes the activity under the share repurchase program during the nine months ended September 28, 2025.
| Amount Authorized (in millions) | Total Number of Shares Purchased | Average Price Paid Per Share | Amount Remaining (in millions) | |||||||||||||||||
| $ | $ | $ | ||||||||||||||||||
Redeemable Non-controlling Interest
In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480), the Company adjusted the carrying amount of the Redeemable non-controlling interest to what would be the redemption value assuming the security was redeemable as of the balance sheet date. During the three and nine months ended September 28, 2025, the Company made adjustments to the carrying amount of the Redeemable non-controlling interest of $1.1 million and $3.0 million, respectively. Under ASC 480, the Company elected for the terms of the redemption feature to be fully considered in the measurement of Net income attributable to SiteOne with the offsetting entry for the redemption value adjustment recorded in Adjustment of non-controlling interest to redemption value in the Consolidated Statements of Operations during the three and nine months ended September 28, 2025.
Basis of Financial Statement Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) as applicable to interim financial reporting. In management’s opinion, the unaudited financial information for the interim periods presented includes all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. Certain information and disclosures normally included in the Company’s annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). These interim unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2024. The interim period unaudited financial results for the three and nine-month periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for any other interim period or for the entire year.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
12
Fiscal Year
The Company’s fiscal year is a 52- or 53-week period ending on the Sunday nearest to December 31. The fiscal years ending December 28, 2025 (the “2025 Fiscal Year”) and December 29, 2024 (the “2024 Fiscal Year”) both include 52 weeks. Additionally, the Company’s fiscal quarters end on the Sunday nearest to March 31, June 30, and September 30, respectively. The three months ended September 28, 2025 and September 29, 2024 both include 13 weeks. The nine months ended September 28, 2025 and September 29, 2024 both include 39 weeks.
Principles of Consolidation
The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the assets and liabilities used in operating the Company’s business, including entities in which the Company owns or controls more than 50% of the voting shares. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Significant Accounting Policies
Except as updated immediately below and by the Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements section below, a description of the Company’s significant accounting policies is included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the 2024 Fiscal Year.
Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-02, “Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Accounting for Investments in Tax Credit Structures Using the Proportional Amortization Method” (“ASU 2023-02”), which permits a reporting entity to account for its tax equity investments by using the proportional amortization method (“PAM”) regardless of the program from which it receives income tax credits, if certain eligibility criteria are met. Under this guidance, an investor in a tax equity investment may utilize the proportional amortization method for qualifying investments on a tax credit program-by-program basis. The Company adopted ASU 2023-02 as of January 1, 2024. The adoption of ASU 2023-02 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Refer to “Note 10. Income Taxes” for additional information regarding the Company’s tax equity investment.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-07”), which expands reportable segment disclosure requirements primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. ASU 2023-07 requires disclosure of (i) significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) and included within the segment measure of profit or loss, (ii) categories and amounts for other segment items to reconcile to segment profit or loss, and (iii) the title and position of the Company’s CODM. The ASU does not change how a public entity identifies its operating segments, aggregates them, or applies the quantitative thresholds to determine its reportable segments. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 effective January 1, 2024 on a retrospective basis. The adoption of ASU 2023-07 did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as the requirements impact only segment reporting disclosures in the Notes to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Refer to “Note 13. Segment Information” for additional information.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-09”). The amendments in ASU 2023-09 require public entities, on an annual basis, to provide disclosure of specific categories in the rate reconciliation, as well as disclosure of income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. The Company adopted ASU 2023-09 effective December 30, 2024. The adoption of ASU 2023-09 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as the requirements impact only annual income tax reporting disclosures in the Notes to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
13
Accounting Pronouncements Issued But Not Yet Adopted
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Topic 220): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses” (“ASU 2024-03”), which requires public entities to disclose additional information that disaggregates certain expense captions into specified categories in the Notes to the consolidated financial statements. In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, “Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Topic 220): Clarifying the Effective Date” (“ASU 2025-01”). The new standard clarifies that ASU 2024-03 is required to be adopted in the annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The disclosure updates are required to be applied prospectively with the option for retrospective application. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the amended guidance will have on its disclosures.
In May 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-03, “Business Combinations (Topic 805) and Consolidation (Topic 810) - Determining the Accounting Acquirer in the Acquisition of a Variable Interest Entity” (“ASU 2025-03”), which revises the guidance in ASC 805 to clarify the requirements for identifying the accounting acquirer in a business combination that is effected by exchanging equity interests in which a variable interest entity is acquired. ASU 2025-03 is required to be adopted in the annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, including interim periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. The disclosure updates are required to be applied prospectively with the option for retrospective application. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the amended guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets” (“ASU 2025-05”), which revises the guidance in ASC 326 to provide a practical expedient and an accounting policy election related to the estimation of expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets that arise from transactions accounted for under ASC 606. ASU 2025-05 is required to be adopted in the annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, including interim periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the amended guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other Internal-Use Software: Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software” (“ASU 2025-06”), which amends the guidance in ASC 350 to revise the criteria as to when an entity is required to start capitalizing software costs and requires an entity to consider whether there is significant uncertainty associated with the development activities of the software when evaluating the probable-to-complete recognition threshold. ASU 2025-06 is required to be adopted in the annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, including interim periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the amended guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Remaining Performance Obligations
Remaining performance obligations related to ASC 606 represent the aggregate transaction price allocated to performance obligations with an original contract term greater than one year that are fully or partially unsatisfied at the end of the period. Remaining performance obligations include the outstanding points balance related to the customer loyalty rewards program. The program allows enrolled customers to earn loyalty rewards on purchases to be used on future purchases, to pay for annual customer trips hosted by the Company, or to obtain gift cards to other third-party retailers.
As of September 28, 2025, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations was $23.4 million. The Company expects to recognize revenue on the remaining performance obligations over the next 12 months.
Contract Balances
The timing of revenue recognition, billings, and cash collections results in billed accounts receivable, deferred revenue, and billings in excess of revenue recognized in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Contract liabilities
As of September 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024, contract liabilities were $23.4 million and $16.3 million, respectively, and were included within Accrued liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The increase in the contract liability balance during the nine months ended September 28, 2025 is primarily a result of cash payments received in advance of satisfying performance obligations, partially offset by $10.0 million of revenue recognized and the expiration of points related to the customer loyalty rewards program during the period.

Note 4. Fair Value Measurement and Interest Rate Swaps
Fair value is defined as an exit price, representing an amount that would be received to sell an asset or the amount paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The inputs used to measure fair value are prioritized into the following three-tiered value hierarchy:
•Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
•Level 2: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active or inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, which are observable either directly or indirectly.
•Level 3: Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data.
The hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. The classification of fair value measurement within the hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the measurement.
The Company’s financial instruments consist of Cash and cash equivalents, Accounts receivable, interest rate swap contracts, long-term debt, and Redeemable non-controlling interest. The variable interest rate on the long-term debt is reflective of current market borrowing rates. As such, the Company has determined that the carrying value of these financial instruments approximates fair value.
Interest Rate Swaps
The Company is subject to interest rate risk with regard to existing and future issuances of debt. The Company has, in the past, utilized interest rate swap contracts to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in variable interest rates for interest payments on existing debt. Prior to the termination of interest rate swaps 7, 8, and 9 upon maturity on March 23, 2025, the Company was party to interest rate swap contracts to convert the variable interest rate to a fixed interest rate on the borrowings under the term loans.
The Company recognized any differences between the variable interest rate payments and the fixed interest rate settlements with the swap counterparties as adjustments to interest expense over the life of the swaps. The Company had designated these swaps as cash flow hedges and recorded the estimated fair value of the swaps to Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”) on its Consolidated Balance Sheets.
16
On March 23, 2021, the Company restructured the interest rate swap positions of its forward-starting interest rate swaps 4, 5, and 6 to extend the terms to maturity using a strategy referred to as a “blend and extend” in order to continue to manage its exposure to interest rate risk on borrowings under the term loans. Refer to “Note 9. Long-Term Debt” for additional information regarding the Company’s term loans. As a result of these transactions, all existing agreements for forward-starting interest rate swaps 4, 5, and 6 at that time were amended and restructured as new agreements designated by the Company as interest rate swaps 7, 8, and 9 with the same counterparties. Each of the liability positions of the forward-starting interest rate swaps were blended into the amended interest rate swap agreements and the term of the hedged positions were extended to mature on March 23, 2025. Due to the size of the initial net investment amounts resulting from the termination values of the forward-starting interest rate swaps that were rolled into the interest rate swap arrangements, interest rate swaps 7, 8, and 9 were determined to be hybrid debt instruments containing embedded at-market interest rate swap derivatives. As a result, the Company bifurcated the derivative instruments from the debt host instruments for accounting purposes. Refer to “Note 9. Long-Term Debt” for additional information regarding the Company’s hybrid debt instruments.
The following table provides additional details related to the swap contracts, which were terminated upon maturity:
| Derivatives designated as hedging instruments | Inception Date | Amended Effective Date | Maturity Date | Notional Amount (in millions) | Fixed Interest Rate | Type of Hedge | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

The Company recognized the unrealized gains or unrealized losses for interest rate swap contracts as either assets or liabilities at fair value on its Consolidated Balance Sheets. The interest rate swap contracts were subject to master netting arrangements. The Company had elected not to offset the fair value of assets with the fair value of liabilities related to these contracts. The following table summarizes the fair value of the derivative instruments and the respective lines in which they were recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024 (in millions):

| Total derivative assets | $ | $ | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Company used significant observable market data or assumptions (Level 2 inputs) that market participants would use in pricing similar assets or liabilities for determining the fair value of the interest rate swap contracts, including assumptions about counterparty risk. The fair value estimates reflected an income approach based on the terms of the interest rate swap contracts and inputs corroborated by observable market data including interest rate curves.

Intangible Assets
Intangible assets include customer relationships as well as trademarks and other intangibles acquired through acquisitions. Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized on an accelerated method or a straight-line method of amortization over their estimated useful lives. An accelerated amortization method reflecting the pattern in which the asset will be consumed is utilized if that pattern can be reliably determined. If that pattern cannot be reliably determined, a straight-line amortization method is used. The Company considers the period of expected cash flows and the underlying data used to measure the fair value of the intangible assets when selecting a useful life. The Company’s customer relationships are amortized on an accelerated method.
The following table summarizes the components of intangible assets (in millions, except weighted average remaining useful life):

During the nine months ended September 28, 2025, the Company recorded $8.8 million of intangible assets, including $8.2 million in Customer relationship intangibles and $0.6 million in Trademarks and other intangibles. The change in Customer relationship intangibles and Trademarks and other intangibles included additions of $7.5 million and $0.6 million, respectively, as a result of the acquisitions completed in 2025 as described in “Note 3. Acquisitions.” Updates of purchase price allocations related to prior year acquisitions during the allowable measurement period and currency translation adjustments of Customer relationship intangibles were $0.7 million during the nine months ended September 28, 2025.
During the nine months ended September 29, 2024, the Company recorded $33.4 million of intangible assets, including $28.0 million in Customer relationship intangibles and $5.4 million in Trademarks and other intangibles. The change in Customer relationship intangibles and Trademarks and other intangibles included additions of $26.7 million and $5.4 million, respectively, as a result of the acquisitions completed in 2024 as described in “Note 3. Acquisitions.” Updates of purchase price allocations related to prior year acquisitions during the allowable measurement period and currency translation adjustments of Customer relationship intangibles were $1.3 million.

Note 7. Leases
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception of a contract. The Company leases equipment and real estate including office space, branch locations, and distribution centers under operating leases. Most leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from one year to five years or more. The exercises of lease renewal options are at the Company’s sole discretion. Finance lease obligations consist primarily of the Company’s vehicle fleet. Certain leases include options to purchase the leased property. ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset during the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the net present value of fixed lease payments over the lease term. As most of the Company’s operating leases do not provide an implicit interest rate, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. Finance lease agreements generally include an interest rate that is used to determine the present value of future lease payments. Variable lease payment amounts that cannot be determined at the commencement of the lease such as increases in lease payments based on changes in index rates or usage, are not included in the ROU assets or lease liabilities and are expensed as incurred and recorded as variable lease expense. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Note 8. Employee Benefit and Stock Incentive Plans
The Company sponsors a defined contribution benefit plan for substantially all of its employees. Company contributions to the plan are based on a percentage of employee wages. The Company’s contributions to the plan were $4.1 million and $13.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2025, and $4.1 million and $14.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 29, 2024, respectively.
The Company’s Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “2016 Plan”), which became effective on April 28, 2016, provided for the grant of awards in the form of stock options that may be either incentive stock options or non-qualified stock options; stock purchase rights; restricted stock; restricted stock units (“RSUs”); performance shares; performance stock units (“PSUs”); stock appreciation rights; dividend equivalents; deferred stock units (“DSUs”); or other stock-based awards. The Company also has outstanding stock-based awards under its stock incentive plan (“Stock Incentive Plan”), which commenced in May 2014 and terminated upon adoption of the 2016 Plan. However, awards previously granted under the Stock Incentive Plan were unaffected by the termination of the Stock Incentive Plan.
At the 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company on May 13, 2020 (the “Effective Date”), the Company’s stockholders approved the Company’s 2020 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “2020 Plan”), which replaced the 2016 Plan. The 2020 Plan reserves 2,155,280 shares of the Company’s common stock for issuance under the 2020 Plan, consisting of 1,600,000 new shares plus 555,280 shares that were previously authorized for issuance under the 2016 Plan and that, as of the Effective Date, were not subject to outstanding awards. No further grants of awards will be made under the 2016 Plan; however, outstanding awards granted under the 2016 Plan will remain outstanding and will continue to be administered in accordance with the terms of the 2016 Plan and the applicable award agreements. Any shares covered by an award, or any portion thereof, granted under the 2020 Plan, 2016 Plan, or Stock Incentive Plan that terminates, is forfeited, repurchased, expires, or lapses for any reason will again be available for the grant of awards. Additionally, any shares tendered or withheld to satisfy the grant, exercise price, or tax withholding obligations pursuant to any award under the 2020 Plan, 2016 Plan, or Stock Incentive Plan will again be available for issuance. As of September 28, 2025, the aggregate number of shares that remain available to be issued under the 2020 Plan is 2,572,697 .
Stock options and RSUs granted to employees vest over a four-year 25 10 years after the date of grant. PSUs granted to employees vest upon the achievement of the performance conditions, over a three-year period, measured by the growth of the Company’s pre-tax income plus amortization relative to a performance peer group, subject to adjustment based upon the application of a return on invested capital modifier.
The fair value of each stock option is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Since the start of the 2023 Fiscal Year, expected volatilities are based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock. Prior to the 2023 Fiscal Year, expected volatilities were based on the historical equity volatility of comparable publicly traded companies. The change in estimate was due to the length of time the Company’s common stock had been publicly traded, which exceeded the expected term of the stock options at the start of the 2023 Fiscal Year. The expected term of stock options granted is derived from the output of the option valuation model and represents the period of time that stock options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rates utilized for periods throughout the contractual life of the stock options are based on the U.S. Treasury security yields at the time of grant. DSUs, RSUs, and PSUs have grant date fair values equal to the fair market value of the underlying stock on the date of grant. Share-based compensation expense is recognized in the financial statements based upon fair value on the date of grant. The compensation costs for stock options and RSUs are recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite vesting periods. The Company recognizes compensation expense for PSUs when it is probable that the performance conditions will be achieved. The Company reassesses the probability of vesting at each reporting period and adjusts its compensation cost accordingly.
22
RSUs granted to non-employee directors vest at the earlier of the day preceding the next annual meeting of stockholders of the Company at which directors are elected or the first anniversary of the grant date, in each case, subject to the participant’s continued service as a director or other service provider (as applicable) from the grant date through such vesting date. Vested RSUs granted to non-employee directors settle into the Company’s common stock at the earlier to occur of the vesting date, termination of the director’s service on the Company’s Board of Directors, or until a change of control of the Company. Settlement may also be deferred at the director’s election until a specified date after the vesting date. DSUs granted to non-employee directors vest immediately but settlement is deferred until termination of the director’s service on the Company’s Board of Directors or until a change of control of the Company.
In February 2023, the Company’s Human Resources and Compensation Committee approved amendments to the applicable equity award agreements governing the terms of the stock options, RSUs, and PSUs granted under the 2020 Plan. Pursuant to such amendments, all unvested stock options and RSUs granted to an associate after the effective date of the amendments under an applicable award agreement, as amended, will fully vest following the end of their employment, generally in four equal annual installments and expire in 10 years for stock options, if such associate’s combined age (minimum of 55 years of age) and completed years of employment with the Company (minimum of five years of service) equals 65 or more (the “Rule of 65”). The amendments did not alter any equity award agreements outstanding on or prior to the effective date or the pro-rated vesting schedule with respect to PSUs, other than to change the definition of retirement to reflect the Rule of 65.

ABL Facility
SiteOne Landscape Supply Holding, LLC (“Landscape Holding”) and SiteOne Landscape Supply, LLC (“Landscape” and together with Landscape Holding, the “Borrowers”), each an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, are parties to the credit agreement dated December 23, 2013 (as amended by the First Amendment to the Credit Agreement, dated June 13, 2014, the Second Amendment to the Credit Agreement, dated January 26, 2015, the Third Amendment to the Credit Agreement, dated February 13, 2015, the Fourth Amendment to the Credit Agreement, dated October 20, 2015, the Omnibus Amendment to the Credit Agreement, dated May 24, 2017, the Sixth Amendment to the Credit Agreement, dated February 1, 2019, and the Seventh Amendment to the Credit Agreement, dated July 22, 2022, the “ABL Credit Agreement”) providing for an asset-based credit facility (the “ABL Facility”) of up to $600.0 million, subject to borrowing base availability. The ABL Facility is secured by a first lien on the inventory and receivables of the Borrowers. The ABL Facility is guaranteed by SiteOne Landscape Supply Bidco, Inc. (“Bidco”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and each direct and indirect wholly-owned U.S. restricted subsidiary of Landscape. The availability under the ABL Facility was $577.8 million and $581.2 million as of September 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024, respectively. Availability is determined using borrowing base calculations of eligible inventory and receivable balances less the current outstanding ABL Facility and letters of credit balances.
On July 22, 2022, the Company, through its subsidiaries, entered into the Seventh Amendment to the ABL Credit Agreement (the “Seventh Amendment”). The Seventh Amendment amended and restated the ABL Credit Agreement to, among other things, (i) increase the aggregate principal amount of the commitments to $600.0 million, (ii) extend the final scheduled maturity of the revolving credit facility to July 22, 2027, (iii) establish an alternate rate of interest to the LIBOR rate, (iv) replace the administrative and collateral agent, and (v) make such other changes as agreed among the Borrowers and the lenders. Proceeds of the initial borrowings under the ABL Credit Agreement on the closing date of the Seventh Amendment were used, among other things, (i) to repay in full the loans outstanding under the ABL Credit Agreement immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Seventh Amendment, (ii) to pay fees and expenses related to the Seventh Amendment and the ABL Credit Agreement, and (iii) for working capital and other general corporate purposes.
Loans under the ABL Credit Agreement bear interest, at Landscape Holding’s option, at either (i) an adjusted Term SOFR rate equal to Term SOFR plus 0.10 % (subject to a floor of 0.00 %) plus an applicable margin of 1.25 % or 1.50 % or (ii) an alternate base rate plus an applicable margin of 0.25 % or 0.50 %, in each case depending on the average daily excess availability under the ABL Credit Agreement, and in each case subject to a 0.125 % reduction when the Consolidated First Lien Leverage Ratio (as defined in the ABL Credit Agreement) is less than 1.50 :1.00. Additionally, undrawn commitments under the ABL Credit Agreement bear a commitment fee of 0.20 % or 0.25 %, depending on the average daily undrawn portion of the commitments under the ABL Credit Agreement.
There was no 0.25
The ABL Facility is subject to mandatory prepayments if the outstanding loans and letters of credit exceed either the aggregate revolving commitments or the current borrowing base, in an amount equal to such excess. Additionally, the ABL Facility is subject to various covenants, including incurrence covenants that require the Company to meet minimum financial ratios, and additional borrowings and other corporate transactions may be limited by failure to meet these financial ratios. Failure to meet any of these covenants could result in an event of default under these agreements. If an event of default occurs, the lenders could elect to declare all amounts outstanding under these agreements to be immediately due and payable, enforce their interest in collateral pledged under the agreement, or restrict the Borrowers’ ability to obtain additional borrowings under these agreements. The ABL Facility is secured by a first lien security interest over inventory and receivables and a second lien security interest over all other assets pledged as collateral.
The ABL Facility contains customary representations and warranties and customary affirmative and negative covenants. The negative covenants are limited to the following: financial condition, fundamental changes, dividends and distributions, acquisitions, dispositions of collateral, payments and modifications of restricted indebtedness, negative pledge clauses, changes in line of business, currency, commodity and other hedging transactions, transactions with affiliates, investments, indebtedness, and liens. The negative covenants are subject to customary exceptions and also permit the payment of dividends and distributions, investments, permitted acquisitions, payments or redemptions of indebtedness under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, asset sales and mergers, consolidations, and sales of all or substantially all assets involving subsidiaries upon satisfaction of a “payment condition.” The payment condition is deemed satisfied upon 30 -day specified excess availability and specified availability exceeding agreed upon thresholds and, in certain cases, the absence of specified events of default or known events of default and pro forma compliance with a consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.00 to 1.00. As of September 28, 2025, the Company was in compliance with all of the ABL Facility covenants.
25
Subsidiary ABL Facility
In connection with the Company’s acquisition of a controlling interest in Devil Mountain, on April 30, 2024, Devil Mountain entered into the Eighth Amendment to the Credit Agreement and Consent providing for an asset-based credit facility (the “Devil Mountain ABL Facility”) of up to $20.0 million, subject to borrowing base availability.
Loans under the Devil Mountain ABL Facility bear interest at either (i) an adjusted Term SOFR rate equal to Term SOFR plus an applicable margin of 1.90 % or 2.10 % or (ii) an alternate base rate plus an applicable margin of 0.80 % or 1.00 %, subject to a 0.20 % reduction when the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Devil Mountain ABL Facility) is greater than 2.00 :1.00. Additionally, undrawn commitments under the Devil Mountain ABL Facility bear a commitment fee of 0.25 % on the actual undrawn portion of the commitments under the Devil Mountain ABL Facility based upon the daily utilization for the previous quarter. The interest rate on the outstanding balance under the Devil Mountain ABL Facility was 6.18021 % and 6.65265 % as of September 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024, respectively. As of September 28, 2025, Devil Mountain was in compliance with all of the Devil Mountain ABL Facility covenants.
Term Loans
The Borrowers entered into a syndicated senior term loan facility dated April 29, 2016, which was amended on November 23, 2016, May 24, 2017, December 12, 2017, and August 14, 2018. On March 23, 2021, the Company, through its subsidiaries, entered into the Fifth Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Fifth Amendment”), by and among the Borrowers and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. to, among other things, incur $325.0 million of term loans (the “New Term Loans”) which were used in part to prepay all of the existing term loans outstanding immediately prior to effectiveness of the Fifth Amendment. On March 27, 2023, Landscape Holding, as representative for the Borrowers, entered into the First Amendment to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Sixth Amendment”) to implement a forward-looking interest rate based on SOFR in lieu of LIBOR at Landscape Holding’s option, at either (i) an adjusted Term SOFR rate plus an applicable margin equal to 2.00 % (with a Term SOFR floor of 0.50 % on initial term loans and 0.00 % on all other term loans) or (ii) an alternative base rate plus an applicable margin equal to 1.00 %. On July 12, 2023, Landscape Holding, as representative for the Borrowers, entered into the Increase Supplement to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, providing for an additional $120.0 million of New Term Loans. On July 2, 2024, the Borrowers entered into the Second Amendment to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Second Amendment”) that amends and restates the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of March 23, 2021. The Second Amendment provides for, among other things, an aggregate principal amount of approximately $392.7 million in term loans (the “Tranche B Term Loans”). The Tranche B Term Loans are guaranteed by Bidco and each direct and indirect wholly-owned U.S. restricted subsidiary of Landscape. The Tranche B Term Loans are secured by a second lien security interest over inventory and receivables and a first lien security interest over all other assets pledged as collateral. The Tranche B Term Loans mature on March 22, 2030.
The Tranche B Term Loans bear interest, at Landscape Holding’s option, at either (i) an adjusted Term SOFR rate plus an applicable margin equal to 1.75 % (with a Term SOFR floor of 0.50 %) or (ii) an alternative base rate plus an applicable margin equal to 0.75 %. Voluntary prepayments of the Tranche B Term Loans are permitted at any time, in minimum principal amounts, without premium or penalty, unless in connection with certain repricing transactions that occur within the first six months after the date of effectiveness of the Second Amendment. The Tranche B Term Loans will mature on March 22, 2030. The interest rate on the outstanding balance of the Tranche B Term Loans was 5.92535 % and 6.27397 % as of September 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024, respectively.
The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, as amended by the Second Amendment, contains customary representations and warranties and customary affirmative and negative covenants. The negative covenants are limited to the following: limitations on indebtedness, restricted payments, restrictive agreements, sales of assets and subsidiary stock, transactions with affiliates, liens, fundamental changes, amendments, and lines of business. The negative covenants are subject to exceptions customary for transactions of the type.
The Tranche B Term Loans are payable in consecutive quarterly installments equal to 0.25 % of the aggregate initial principal amount of the Tranche B Term Loans until the maturity date. In addition, the Tranche B Term Loans are subject to annual mandatory prepayments in an amount equal to 50 % of excess cash flow, as defined in the Second Amendment for the applicable fiscal year if 50 % of excess cash flow exceeds $24.0 million and the secured leverage ratio is greater than 3.00 to 1.00. There are also mandatory prepayments with the proceeds of certain asset sales and from the issuance of debt not permitted to be incurred under the Second Amendment. As of September 28, 2025, the Company was in compliance with all of the Second Amendment covenants.

Interest Expense
During the three and nine months ended September 28, 2025, the Company incurred total interest expense of $9.1 million and $26.8 million, respectively, of which $6.9 million and $20.1 million related to interest on the asset-based credit facilities and the term loans, respectively. Debt issuance costs and discounts are amortized as interest expense over the life of the debt. Amortization expense related to debt issuance costs and discounts was $0.3 million and $0.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2025, respectively. The remaining $1.9 million and $5.9 million of interest expense is primarily related to interest attributable to finance leases, partially offset by interest income for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2025, respectively.
During the three and nine months ended September 29, 2024, the Company incurred total interest expense of $9.5 million and $25.2 million, respectively, of which $5.7 million and $17.9 million related to interest on the ABL Facility and the term loans, respectively. Debt issuance costs and discounts are amortized as interest expense over the life of the debt. As a result of the Second Amendment, unamortized debt issuance costs and discounts in the amount of $1.8 2.2 million were capitalized during the three and nine months ended September 29, 2024, in accordance with ASC 470-50, “Debt Modifications and Extinguishments”. No gain or loss was recorded as it related to all participating lenders. Amortization expense related to debt issuance costs and discounts was $0.3 million and $1.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 29, 2024, respectively. The remaining $1.7 million and $4.5 million of interest expense is primarily related to interest attributable to finance leases, partially offset by interest income for the three and nine months ended September 29, 2024, respectively.
Hybrid Debt Instruments
During the first quarter of 2021, the Company reclassified $5.9 million from Accrued liabilities and Other long-term liabilities to long-term debt with $1.5 million classified as Long-term debt, current portion and $4.4 million classified as Long-term debt, less current portion on its Consolidated Balance Sheets for the interest rate swap arrangements executed on March 23, 2021 that were determined to be hybrid debt instruments. As of September 28, 2025, there was no outstanding amount as the interest rate swaps were terminated upon maturity on March 23, 2025. Refer to “Note 4. Fair Value Measurement and Interest Rate Swaps” for additional information regarding interest rate swaps and hybrid debt instruments.
Note 10. Income Taxes
The Company’s effective tax rate was approximately 23.6 % for the nine months ended September 28, 2025 and approximately 24.0 % for the nine months ended September 29, 2024. The decrease in the effective rate was primarily due to an increase in the amount of excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation recognized as a component of Income tax expense in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company recognized excess tax benefits of $3.7 million for the nine months ended September 28, 2025, and $2.9 million for the nine months ended September 29, 2024. The Company’s effective tax rate differs from its statutory rate based on a variety of factors, including overall profitability, the geographical mix of income taxes, and the related tax rates in the jurisdictions in which it operates.
The Company provides a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The assessment considers all available positive and negative evidence and is measured quarterly. The Company maintains a valuation allowance against certain state deferred tax assets where sufficient negative evidence exists to require a valuation allowance. During the nine months ended September 28, 2025 and September 29, 2024, the Company recorded no
Tax Equity Investment
In November 2024, the Company entered into an agreement to become a limited partner in a tax-advantaged limited partnership for an interest in an approved qualified renewable energy project. This investment qualified for the application of PAM. During the year ended December 29, 2024, the Company amortized the initial cost of the investment, inclusive of the delayed equity contribution, in proportion to the income tax credits and other income tax benefits that were allocated to the Company. As of September 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024, the carrying value of the tax equity investment was approximately $0.5 million and $0.5 million, respectively, and was recorded in Other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. There was no impairment of the Company’s tax equity investment during the nine months ended September 28, 2025.
27
One Big Beautiful Bill Act
On July 4, 2025, the U.S. enacted new tax legislation commonly referred to as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”), which included changes in tax laws that may affect recorded deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities as well as the Company’s effective tax rate in the future. While the Company is continuing to review the potential impact of OBBBA, it anticipates an impact to its deferred tax and income tax payable as a result of reinstating the 100% bonus depreciation provision for assets placed in service after January 19, 2025, and restoring the full expensing of qualifying domestic research and development expenditures. The Company does not expect any material changes to the consolidated financial statements or ongoing tax rate as a result of this legislation.
Note 11. Commitments and Contingencies
Environmental Liability
As part of the sale by LESCO, Inc. (“LESCO”) of its manufacturing assets in 2005, the Company retained the environmental liability associated with those assets. As part of the acquisition of a majority stake in the Company in December 2013 by CD&R Landscapes Holdings, L.P. from Deere & Company (“Deere”), Deere agreed to pay the first $2.5 million of this liability and the Company’s exposure was capped at $2.4 million. In September 2025, the Company and Deere entered into agreements to settle and resolve the environmental liability arising from the LESCO sale. Under these agreements, a lump-sum settlement payment was required on September 30, 2025 to the purchaser of the LESCO manufacturing assets in exchange for a release of all related claims against both the Company and Deere, as well as the termination of certain indemnification obligations under the original LESCO sale agreement. The Company’s share of the settlement payment is $0.5 million.
For the three and nine months ended September 28, 2025, the Company recognized approximately $1.9 0.5 million included in Accrued liabilities for the Company’s share of the settlement payment as noted above. The related indemnification asset has been derecognized. As of December 29, 2024, the Company had recorded an undiscounted environmental liability of $3.9 million in Other long-term liabilities, representing the estimated future remediation costs, and an indemnification asset in Other assets of $1.5 million.
Letters of Credit
As of September 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024, outstanding letters of credit were $22.2 million and $18.8 million, respectively. There were no

Note 12. Earnings (Loss) Per Share
The Company computes basic EPS by dividing Net income (loss) attributable to SiteOne by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. The Company includes vested RSUs, DSUs, and PSUs that have not been settled in common shares in the basic weighted average number of common shares calculation. The Company’s computation of diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if dilutive securities or other obligations to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock, which include in-the-money outstanding stock options and RSUs. PSUs are excluded from the calculation of potential dilutive common shares until the performance conditions have been achieved on the basis of the assumption that the end of the reporting period was the end of the contingency period, if such issuable shares are dilutive. Using the treasury stock method, the effect of dilutive securities includes the additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding based on the assumption that these potentially dilutive securities had been issued. The treasury stock method assumes proceeds from the exercise price of stock options and the unamortized compensation expense of RSUs and stock options are used to repurchase common shares at the average market price during the period, thus reducing the dilutive effect. RSUs and stock options with assumed proceeds per unit above the Company’s average share price for the periods presented are excluded from the diluted EPS calculation because the effect is anti-dilutive.
The following table sets forth the computation of the weighted average number of diluted common shares outstanding for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2025 and September 29, 2024:
| Three Months Ended | Nine Months Ended | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

The diluted earnings per common share calculation for the three months ended September 28, 2025 and September 29, 2024 excluded the effect of 168,405 and 183,776 potential shares of common stock, respectively, because the assumed exercises of a portion of the Company’s employee stock options and RSUs were anti-dilutive. In addition, the diluted earnings per common share calculation for the nine months ended September 28, 2025 and September 29, 2024 excluded the anti-dilutive effect of 173,761 and 190,469 potential shares of common stock, respectively.
Note 13. Segment Information
The Company operates as one operating segment. The Company’s consolidated results represent the results of its one operating segment based on how the Company’s CODM, its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, views the business for purposes of evaluating performance and making operating decisions.
The CODM reviews financial information on a consolidated basis and uses the segment performance measure of consolidated Net income to assess financial performance of the Company and determine how to allocate resources of the Company as a whole. Consolidated Net income is used by the CODM to make key operating decisions, such as the determination of the rate at which the Company seeks to grow consolidated Net income and the allocation of budgets between the significant segment expenses within Cost of goods sold and Selling, general and administrative expenses. The CODM does not regularly review asset information and therefore, the Company does not report asset information beyond what is disclosed in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following information should be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The following discussion may contain forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates, and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include those factors discussed below and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, particularly in “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements and Information” included herein and the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2024.
Overview
SiteOne Landscape Supply, Inc. (collectively with all of its subsidiaries referred to in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as “SiteOne,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our”) indirectly owns 100% of the membership interest in SiteOne Landscape Supply Holding, LLC (“Landscape Holding”). Landscape Holding is the parent and sole owner of SiteOne Landscape Supply, LLC (“Landscape”).
We are the largest and only national full product line wholesale distributor of landscape supplies in the United States and have an established presence in Canada. Our customers are primarily residential and commercial landscape professionals who specialize in the design, installation, and maintenance of lawns, gardens, golf courses, and other outdoor spaces. As of September 28, 2025, we had over 680 branch locations in 45 U.S. states and six Canadian provinces. Through our expansive North American network, we offer a comprehensive selection of approximately 170,000 SKUs, including irrigation supplies, fertilizer and control products (e.g., herbicides), hardscapes (including pavers, natural stone, and blocks), landscape accessories, nursery goods, outdoor lighting, and ice melt products to green industry professionals. We also provide value-added consultative services to complement our product offerings and to help our customers operate and grow their businesses.
Business Environment and Trends
The three and nine months ended September 28, 2025 continued to present challenges driven by ongoing economic uncertainty, elevated interest rates, weakened consumer confidence, low existing home sales, inflation concerns, and persistent grass seed and PVC pipe price deflation. While we saw solid growth in the maintenance end market and our commercial initiatives drove market share gains during the period, this environment has continued to negatively affect consumer confidence and diminish discretionary spending, resulting in softer demand in the new residential construction and repair and upgrade end markets. Accordingly, we anticipate continued pressure on Net sales growth and Net income for the foreseeable future. Net sales grew 4% for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2025, respectively, primarily driven by our sales initiatives and improved pricing in the third quarter as well as contributions from our acquisitions during the nine months ended September 28, 2025. Organic Daily Sales increased 3% and 1% for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2025, respectively, as solid growth in the maintenance end market, sales initiatives, and improved pricing were partially offset by softer demand in the new residential construction and repair and upgrade end markets. Overall, we estimate pricing increased Organic Daily Sales by approximately 1% for the three months ended September 28, 2025 and had a negligible impact on Organic Daily Sales for the nine months ended September 28, 2025. The negative pricing trend that began in the second half of the 2023 Fiscal Year has moderated and is expected to improve through the remainder of 2025, with the impact of pricing projected to be up approximately 1% to 2% for the fourth quarter of 2025. Gross margin increased 70 basis points in the third quarter and increased 20 basis points for the nine-month period ended September 28, 2025, primarily due to improved price realization, benefits from our commercial initiatives, and a positive contribution from acquisitions with higher gross margins. Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) increased 2% and 3% for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2025, respectively, primarily reflecting the impact of acquisitions. SG&A as a percentage of Net sales decreased 50 basis points to 28.4% for the three months ended September 28, 2025 compared to 28.9% for the same quarter of 2024, and decreased 20 basis points to 28.7% for the nine months ended September 28, 2025 compared to 28.9% for the same period of last year. The improvement in SG&A as a percentage of Net sales for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2025 is primarily due to our actions to increase productivity and better align operating costs with the current market demand. Net income attributable to SiteOne increased to $59.1 million and $160.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2025, respectively, compared to $44.4 million and $145.3 million for the same periods of 2024, respectively, primarily due to higher Net sales, improved gross margin, and SG&A leverage. Net cash provided by operating activities decreased to $135.7 million for the nine months ended September 28, 2025, compared to $164.0 million for the same period of last year, primarily driven by earlier purchases of inventory ahead of tariffs.
31
Looking forward, the trend of consumers spending more time at home and investing in their outdoor living spaces is expected to continue. Increases in home values, lack of affordable new homes, rising insurance costs, and elevated mortgage interest rates for prolonged periods have resulted in existing homeowners remaining in place for longer periods. In the first nine months of 2025, constraint on affordability continued with increasingly weaker new and existing home demand as a result of the current macroeconomic environment. However, the long-term outlook for the landscape supply industry remains strong, driven by favorable population trends, housing demand, and continued interest in outdoor living. We remain confident in the landscape supply industry growth opportunities and our ability to continue providing our customers, suppliers, and shareholders with exceptional value. We are the only national full product line wholesale distributor of landscape supplies in the United States. With a large acquisition pipeline and a flexible business model, we remain committed to our strategic and operational initiatives and will continue to focus on driving growth organically and through acquisitions while gaining market share and delivering margin expansion by leveraging our scale, resources, and capabilities. Our balanced end market mix, broad product portfolio, geographic coverage, and commercial and operational initiatives provide us with multiple opportunities to achieve growth and position us to be resilient in softer markets.
As we continue to navigate through the current uncertainties presented by volatile market and economic conditions, we believe that we are prepared to meet the challenges ahead due to our well-balanced business, strong financial condition, experienced teams, and focused business strategy. We continue to execute our disciplined cost control and gross margin management. Our balance sheet and liquidity position provide us the flexibility to operate effectively and execute our growth strategy, as well as complete share repurchases during the evolving market conditions. We continue to closely monitor the impact on our business and the related risks of softer end markets, interest rates, trade policy uncertainty, inflation, geopolitical conflicts, and consumer sentiment. These conditions are beyond our control, and we cannot estimate with certainty the full extent of their impact on our business, results of operations, cash flows, and/or financial condition. To mitigate the effects of these conditions, we may take actions that alter our business operations if required or that we determine are in the best interests of our associates, customers, suppliers, and shareholders. The forward-looking statements in this Business Environment and Trends section are subject to significant risks and uncertainties. See Part I, Item 1A. - “Risk Factors”, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the 2024 Fiscal Year for a discussion of the various risks that could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, business, financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.
Presentation
Our financial statements included in this report have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Our fiscal year is a 52- or 53-week period ending on the Sunday nearest to December 31 in each year. Our fiscal years ending December 28, 2025 (the “2025 Fiscal Year”) and December 29, 2024 (the “2024 Fiscal Year”) both include 52 weeks. Additionally, our fiscal quarters end on the Sunday nearest to March 31, June 30, and September 30, respectively. The three months ended September 28, 2025 and September 29, 2024 both included 13 weeks. The nine months ended September 28, 2025 and September 29, 2024 both included 39 weeks.
We manage our business as a single reportable segment. Within our organizational framework, the same operational resources support multiple geographic regions, and performance is evaluated at a consolidated level. Each of our regions has similar operations and economic characteristics such as the nature of products and services, the types of customers to whom we sell, and the distribution methods utilized. In addition, our product categories have similar supply chain processes and classes of customers.
Key Business and Performance Metrics
We focus on a variety of indicators and key operating and financial metrics to monitor the financial condition and performance of our business. These metrics include:
Net sales. We generate Net sales primarily through the sale of landscape supplies, including irrigation supplies, fertilizer and control products, hardscapes, landscape accessories, nursery goods, outdoor lighting, and ice melt products to our customers who are primarily landscape contractors serving the residential and commercial construction sectors. Our Net sales include billings for freight and handling charges, and commissions on the sale of control products that we sell as an agent. Net sales are presented net of any discounts, returns, customer rebates, and sales or other revenue-based taxes.
Non-GAAP Organic Sales. In managing our business, we consider all growth, including the opening of new greenfield branches, to be organic growth unless it results from an acquisition. When we refer to Organic Sales growth, we include increases in growth from newly-opened greenfield branches and decreases in growth from closing existing branches but exclude increases in growth from acquired branches until they have been under our ownership for at least four full fiscal quarters at the start of the fiscal reporting period.
32
Non-GAAP Selling Days. Selling Days are defined as business days, excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, that our branches are open during the year. Depending upon the location and the season, our branches may be open on Saturdays and Sundays; however, for consistency, those days have been excluded from the calculation of Selling Days.
Non-GAAP Organic Daily Sales. We define Organic Daily Sales as Organic Sales divided by the number of Selling Days in the relevant reporting period. We believe Organic Sales growth and Organic Daily Sales growth are useful measures for evaluating our performance as we may choose to open or close branches in any given market depending upon the needs of our customers or our strategic growth opportunities. Refer to “Results of Operations – Quarterly Results of Operations Data” for a reconciliation of Organic Daily Sales to Net sales.
Cost of goods sold. Our Cost of goods sold includes all inventory costs, such as the purchase price paid to suppliers, net of any volume-based incentives and discounts, as well as inbound freight and handling, and other costs associated with inventory. Cost of goods sold also includes salaries, wages, employee benefits, payroll taxes, bonuses, depreciation, and amortization related to inventory production activities. Our Cost of goods sold excludes the cost to deliver the products to our customers through our branches, which is included in Selling, general and administrative expenses. Cost of goods sold is recognized primarily using the first-in, first-out method of accounting for the inventory sold.
Gross profit and gross margin. We believe that Gross profit and gross margin are useful for evaluating our operating performance. We define Gross profit as Net sales less Cost of goods sold. We define gross margin as Gross profit divided by Net sales.
Selling, general and administrative expenses (operating expenses). Our operating expenses are primarily comprised of Selling, general and administrative costs, which include compensation expenses (salaries, wages, employee benefits, payroll taxes, stock-based compensation, and bonuses), rent and facility related expenses, fleet and delivery related expenses including fuel costs, information technology, marketing, insurance, and repairs and maintenance expenses, as well as credit card processing and professional fees. Operating expenses also include depreciation and amortization.
Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA. In addition to the metrics discussed above, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA is useful for evaluating the operating performance and efficiency of our business. EBITDA represents consolidated Net income (loss) plus the sum of income tax expense (benefit), interest expense, net of interest income, and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA as further adjusted for items such as stock-based compensation expense, (gain) loss on sale of assets and termination of finance leases not in the ordinary course of business, financing fees, as well as other fees and expenses related to acquisitions, and other non-recurring (income) loss. Adjusted EBITDA includes Adjusted EBITDA attributable to non-controlling interest. Refer to “Results of Operations – Quarterly Results of Operations Data” for more information regarding how we calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA and the limitations of those metrics, as well as for a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to Net income (loss).
Key Factors Affecting Our Operating Results
In addition to the metrics described above, a number of other important factors may affect our results of operations in any given period.
Weather Conditions and Seasonality
In a typical year, our operating results are impacted by seasonality. Our Net sales and Net income have been higher in the second and third quarters of each fiscal year due to favorable weather and longer daylight conditions during these quarters. Our Net sales have been significantly lower in the first and fourth quarters due to lower landscaping, irrigation, and turf maintenance activities during these quarters, and historically, we have incurred net losses in these quarters. Seasonal variations in operating results may also be significantly impacted by inclement weather conditions, such as snow and ice storms, wet weather, and hurricanes, which not only impact the demand for certain products like fertilizer and ice melt, but also may delay construction projects where our products are used.
33
Industry and Key Economic Conditions
Our business depends on demand from customers for landscape products and services. The landscape supply industry includes a significant amount of landscape products, such as irrigation systems, outdoor lighting, lawn care supplies, nursery goods, and landscape accessories, for use in the construction of newly built homes, commercial buildings and facilities, and recreational spaces. The landscape supply industry has historically grown in line with rates of growth in residential housing and commercial building. The industry is also affected by trends in home prices, mortgage interest rates, home sales, and consumer spending. As general economic conditions improve or deteriorate, consumption of these products and services also tends to fluctuate. The landscape supply industry also includes a significant number of agronomic products such as fertilizer, herbicides, and ice melt for use in maintaining existing landscapes or facilities. The use of these products is also tied to general economic activity, but levels of sales are not as closely correlated to construction markets.
Popular Consumer Trends
Preferences in housing, lifestyle, and environmental awareness can also have an impact on the overall level of demand and mix for the products we offer. Examples of current trends we believe are important to our business include an ongoing interest in professional landscape services inspired by the popularity of home and garden television shows, magazines, and social media, the increasingly popular “outdoor living” trend, which has been a key driver of sales growth for our hardscapes and outdoor lighting products, and the social focus on eco-friendly products that promote water conservation, energy efficiency, and the adoption of “green” standards.
Acquisitions
In addition to organic growth, we continue to grow our business through acquisitions in an effort to better service our existing customers and to attract new customers. These acquisitions have allowed us to further broaden our product lines and extend our geographic reach and leadership positions in local markets. In accordance with GAAP, the results of the acquisitions are reflected in our financial statements from the date of acquisition forward. Additionally, we incur transaction costs in connection with identifying and completing acquisitions as well as ongoing costs as we integrate acquired businesses and seek to achieve synergies. As of September 28, 2025, we completed the following acquisitions since the start of the 2024 Fiscal Year:

Volume-Based Pricing
We generally procure our products through purchase orders rather than under long-term contracts with firm commitments. We work to develop strong relationships with select suppliers that we target based on a number of factors, including brand and market recognition, price, quality, product support, service levels, delivery terms, and strategic positioning. We typically have annual supplier agreements, and while they generally do not provide specific product pricing, many include volume-based financial incentives that we earn by meeting or exceeding purchase volume targets. Our ability to earn these volume-based incentives is an important factor in our financial results. In certain cases, we enter into supply contracts with terms that exceed one year for the manufacture of our LESCO® branded fertilizer, some nursery goods, grass seed, and hardscapes, which may require us to purchase products in the future.
Strategic Initiatives
We continue to undertake initiatives, utilizing our scale to improve our profitability, enhance supply chain efficiency, strengthen our pricing and category management capabilities, streamline and refine our marketing process, and invest in more sophisticated information technology systems and data analytics. We remain focused on our procurement and supply chain management initiatives to better serve our customers and reduce sourcing costs. We continue to implement new inventory planning, stocking, and transportation management system functionalities in an effort to reduce costs as well as improve our reliability and level of service. In addition, we continue to enhance our website and B2B e-Commerce platform. We also work closely with our local branches to improve sales, delivery, and branch productivity. We believe we will continue to benefit from the following initiatives, among others:
•Category management initiatives, including the implementation of organic growth strategies, assortment planning, private label expansion, line of business training, and supplier management.
•Supply chain initiatives, including the implementation of new inventory planning and stocking system functionalities, the continued expansion of our distribution network footprint and capabilities, local hubs in large markets, inbound freight optimization, and local fleet utilization and cost improvements.
•Sales force initiatives, including optimizing our commercial sales strategies, leads, and opportunities, while improving the skills and performance of the team.
•Marketing initiatives, including customer analytics and lifecycle marketing, product marketing, Hispanic customer engagement, optimization of our digital marketing strategy, and a continued focus on our Partners Program.
•Digital initiatives, including increasing customer demand as well as adoption of our website, mobile application, and overall B2B e-Commerce platform, SiteOne.com, which provides the convenience of an online sales channel, enhanced account management functionality, and industry specific productivity tools for our customers.
•Operational excellence initiatives, including the implementation of best practices in branch operations which encompasses safety, merchandising, stocking and assortment, customer engagement, delivery, labor management, as well as the additional automation and enhancement of branch systems, including the rollout of improved associate mobile capabilities.
35
Working Capital
Our business is characterized by a relatively high level of reported working capital, the effects of which can be compounded by changes in prices. In addition to affecting our Net sales, fluctuations in prices of supplies tend to result in changes in our reported inventories, trade receivables, and trade payables, even when our sales volumes and our rate of turnover of these working capital items remain relatively constant. Our working capital needs are exposed to these price fluctuations, as well as to fluctuations in our cost for transportation and distribution. We may not always be able to reflect these changes in our pricing. The strategic initiatives described above are designed to reduce our exposure to these fluctuations and maintain and improve our efficiency.

Net sales
Net sales for the three months ended September 28, 2025 increased 4% to $1,258.2 million compared to $1,208.8 million for the three months ended September 29, 2024, and increased 4% to $3,659.2 million for the nine months ended September 28, 2025 compared to $3,527.5 million for the nine months ended September 29, 2024. Organic Daily Sales increased 3% for the third quarter of 2025 and 1% for the nine months ended September 28, 2025, as solid growth in the maintenance end market, sales initiatives, and improved pricing were partially offset by softer demand in the new residential construction and repair and upgrade end markets. Based upon year-over-year price changes in our highest selling SKUs, we estimate pricing increased Organic Daily Sales by approximately 1% for the third quarter of 2025, and had a negligible impact on Organic Daily Sales during the nine months ended September 28, 2025. Organic Daily Sales for agronomic products (fertilizer, control products, ice melt, equipment, and other products) increased 3% in the third quarter of 2025 and increased 6% for the nine months ended September 28, 2025 primarily due to solid demand in the maintenance end market. Organic Daily Sales for landscaping products (irrigation supplies, hardscapes, landscape accessories, nursery goods, and outdoor lighting) increased 3% in the third quarter of 2025 due to benefits from our sales initiatives, improved pricing, and favorable weather. Organic Daily Sales for landscaping products for the nine months ended September 28, 2025 was flat primarily due to softer demand in the new residential construction and repair and upgrade end markets offset by benefits from our sales initiatives. Acquisitions contributed $12.5 million, or 1%, to the Net sales growth for the third quarter of 2025 and $98.5 million, or 3%, to the Net sales growth for the nine months ended September 28, 2025.
36
Cost of goods sold
Cost of goods sold increased 3% to $821.0 million for the three months ended September 28, 2025 compared to $797.8 million for the three months ended September 29, 2024, and increased 3% to $2,380.8 million for the nine months ended September 28, 2025 compared to $2,305.0 million for the nine months ended September 29, 2024. The increase in Cost of goods sold, including Inventory costs, net of supplier incentives and discounts, Freight, handling, and distribution expenses, and Other Cost of goods sold was primarily attributable to increased Net sales growth.
A summary of significant expenses within Cost of goods sold is as follows (in millions):

Gross profit and gross margin
Gross profit increased 6% to $437.2 million for the three months ended September 28, 2025 compared to $411.0 million for the three months ended September 29, 2024, and increased 5% to $1,278.4 million for the nine months ended September 28, 2025 compared to $1,222.5 million for the nine months ended September 29, 2024. Gross profit growth was primarily driven by higher Net sales. Gross margin increased 70 basis points to 34.7% for the third quarter of 2025 as compared to 34.0% for the third quarter of 2024 and increased 20 basis points to 34.9% for the nine months ended September 28, 2025 compared to 34.7% for the nine months ended September 29, 2024. The increase in gross margin for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2025 was primarily due to improved price realization, benefits from our commercial initiatives, and a positive contribution from acquisitions with higher gross margins.
Selling, general and administrative expenses
SG&A increased 2% to $357.4 million for the three months ended September 28, 2025 compared to $349.1 million for the three months ended September 29, 2024, and increased 3% to $1,049.7 million for the nine months ended September 28, 2025 compared to $1,020.6 million for the nine months ended September 29, 2024. SG&A as a percentage of Net sales decreased 50 basis points to 28.4% for the three months ended September 28, 2025 compared to 28.9% for the three months ended September 29, 2024, and decreased 20 basis points to 28.7% for the nine months ended September 28, 2025 compared to 28.9% for the nine months ended September 29, 2024. The increase in SG&A, including Compensation, Facility, and Depreciation and amortization expenses, was primarily due to the impact of acquisitions with higher operating costs. The improvement in SG&A as a percentage of Net sales for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2025 reflected our actions to increase productivity and better align operating costs with the current market demand.

Interest and other non-operating expenses, net
Interest and other non-operating expenses, net decreased $0.4 million to $9.1 million for the three months ended September 28, 2025 compared to $9.5 million for the three months ended September 29, 2024, and increased $1.6 million to $26.8 million for the nine months ended September 28, 2025 compared to $25.2 million for the nine months ended September 29, 2024. The decrease in interest expense for the three months ended September 28, 2025 was primarily due to lower average borrowings during the third quarter of 2025 compared to the third quarter of 2024. The increase in interest expense for the nine months ended September 28, 2025 compared to the nine months ended September 29, 2024 was primarily due to higher interest rates on borrowings resulting from the maturity of the interest rate swaps on March 23, 2025.
Income tax expense
Income tax expense was $15.5 million for the three months ended September 28, 2025 compared to $15.8 million for the three months ended September 29, 2024. The effective tax rate was 20.4% for the three months ended September 28, 2025 compared to 26.2% for the three months ended September 29, 2024. The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily due to an increase in the amount of excess tax benefits from stock-based compensations recognized as a component of Income tax expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Excess tax benefits of $4.0 million were recognized for the three months ended September 28, 2025 compared to $0.1 million for the three months ended September 29, 2024.
Income tax expense was $51.1 million for the nine months ended September 28, 2025 compared to $46.1 million for the nine months ended September 29, 2024. The effective tax rate was 23.6% for the nine months ended September 28, 2025 compared to 24.0% for the nine months ended September 29, 2024. The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily due to an increase in the amount of excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation recognized as a component of Income tax expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Excess tax benefits of $3.7 million were recognized for the nine months ended September 28, 2025 compared to $2.9 million for the nine months ended September 29, 2024.
Net income attributable to non-controlling interest
Net income attributable to non-controlling interest increased $0.2 million to $0.4 million for the three months ended September 28, 2025 compared to $0.2 million for the three months ended September 29, 2024, and increased $0.8 million to $1.4 million for the nine months ended September 28, 2025 compared to $0.6 million for the nine months ended September 29, 2024. The increase in Net income attributable to non-controlling interest was the result of higher Net income for the Devil Mountain business during the three and nine months ended September 28, 2025 as compared to the same periods of 2024.
38
Adjustment of non-controlling interest to redemption value
Adjustment of non-controlling interest to redemption value was $1.1 million and $3.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2025, respectively, as a result of adjustments of the carrying amount of the Redeemable non-controlling interest to what would be the redemption value assuming the security was redeemable as of September 28, 2025. There was no Adjustment of non-controlling interest to redemption value for the three and nine months ended September 29, 2024.
Net income attributable to SiteOne
Net income attributable to SiteOne increased $14.7 million to $59.1 million for the three months ended September 28, 2025 as compared to $44.4 million for the three months ended September 29, 2024, and increased $15.5 million to $160.8 million for the nine months ended September 28, 2025 compared to $145.3 million for the nine months ended September 29, 2024. The increase in Net income attributable to SiteOne for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2025 was primarily due to higher Net sales, improved gross margin, and the achievement of SG&A leverage.

_____________________________________
(a) In addition to our Net income (loss) determined in accordance with GAAP, we present Adjusted EBITDA in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to evaluate the operating performance and efficiency of our business. EBITDA represents Net income (loss) plus the sum of Income tax expense (benefit), interest expense, net of interest income, and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is further adjusted for stock-based compensation expense, (gain) loss on sale of assets and termination of finance leases not in the ordinary course of business, financing fees, as well as other fees and expenses related to acquisitions, and other non-recurring (income) loss. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is an important supplemental measure of operating performance because:
•Adjusted EBITDA is used to test compliance with certain covenants under our long-term debt agreements;
•Adjusted EBITDA is frequently used by securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties in their evaluation of companies, many of which present an Adjusted EBITDA measure when reporting their results;
40
•Adjusted EBITDA is helpful in highlighting operating trends, because it excludes the results of decisions that are outside the control of operating management and that can differ significantly from company to company depending on long-term strategic decisions regarding capital structure, the tax jurisdictions in which companies operate, age and book depreciation of facilities, and capital investments;
•we consider (gains) losses on the acquisition, disposal, and impairment of assets as resulting from investing decisions rather than ongoing operations; and
•other significant non-recurring items, while periodically affecting our results, may vary significantly from period to period and have a disproportionate effect in a given period, which affects comparability of our results.
Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of our liquidity or financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to Net income, Operating income, or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP, or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity. The use of Adjusted EBITDA instead of Net income has limitations as an analytical tool. For example, this measure:
•does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
•does not reflect our interest expense, net, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debt;
•does not reflect our Income tax expense (benefit) or the cash requirements to pay our income taxes;
•does not reflect historical cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
•does not reflect the recognition of the step-up basis in inventory from acquisitions (i.e., the adjustment to record inventory from historic cost to fair value at acquisition) as the adjustment does not reflect the ongoing expense associated with sale of our products as part of our underlying business; and
•although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future and does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements.
Management compensates for these limitations by relying primarily on the GAAP results and by using Adjusted EBITDA only as a supplement to provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting the business than GAAP results alone. Because not all companies use identical calculations, our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies limiting their usefulness as a comparative measure.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We assess our liquidity in terms of our cash and cash equivalents on hand and the ability to generate cash to fund our operating and investing activities, repurchase shares, and service our debt, taking into consideration available borrowings and the seasonal nature of our business. We expect that cash and cash equivalents on hand, cash provided from operations, and available capacity under the ABL Facility will provide sufficient funds to operate our business, make capital expenditures, complete acquisitions and share repurchases, and meet all of our liquidity requirements for the next 12 months, including payment of interest and principal on our debt. Longer-term projects or significant investments in acquisitions may be financed through borrowings under our credit facilities or other forms of financing and will depend on then-existing conditions.
In October 2022, our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase authorization for up to $400.0 million of our common stock. We intend to purchase shares under the repurchase authorization from time to time on the open market at the discretion of management, subject to strategic considerations, market conditions, and other factors. The share repurchase authorization does not have an expiration date and may be amended, suspended, or terminated by our Board of Directors at any time. In October 2025, we repurchased 161,486 shares for approximately $20.0 million at an average price of $123.83 under a 10b5-1 plan that authorized the purchase of our common stock. For the 2025 Fiscal Year through October 29, 2025, we repurchased 656,095 shares of our common stock for approximately $77.7 million at an average price per share of $118.46. As of October 29, 2025, the dollar value of shares that may yet be purchased under the share repurchase authorization was $234.3 million.
Our borrowing base capacity under the ABL Facility was $577.8 million as of September 28, 2025, after giving effect to outstanding letters of credit of $22.2 million. Our borrowing base capacity under the ABL Facility was $581.2 million as of December 29, 2024, after giving effect to outstanding letters of credit of $18.8 million. As of September 28, 2025, we had total cash and cash equivalents of $106.9 million, total gross long-term debt of $392.8 million, and total finance lease obligations (excluding interest) of $141.0 million.
Working capital was $1,059.0 million as of September 28, 2025, an increase of $150.2 million compared to $908.8 million as of December 29, 2024. The change in working capital was primarily attributable to the seasonality of our business and the early purchases of inventory ahead of tariffs.
The following table summarizes current and long-term material cash requirements related to our long-term debt as of September 28, 2025 (in millions):
| Total | Next 12 Months | Beyond 12 Months | |||||||||||||||
| Long-term debt, including current maturities | $ | 392.8 | $ | 3.9 | $ | 388.9 | |||||||||||
| Interest on long-term debt | $ | 109.0 | $ | 25.4 | $ | 83.6 | |||||||||||
Our gross long-term debt balance was $392.8 million as of September 28, 2025, which is comparable to our gross long-term debt balance of $393.3 million as of December 29, 2024. We had current maturities on our long-term debt of $3.9 million, which related to the term loan facility. The projected interest payments on our debt only pertain to obligations and agreements outstanding as of September 28, 2025 and expected payments for agent administration fees. The projected interest payments are calculated for future periods through maturity dates of our long-term debt using interest rates in effect as of September 28, 2025. Certain of these projected interest payments may differ in the future based on changes in floating interest rates or other factors and events, including our entry into interest rate swap contracts and amendments of the term loan facility and the ABL Facility. The total amount of interest on long-term debt decreased $22.2 million since December 29, 2024 to $109.0 million, primarily due to a decrease in the interest rate on the term loan facility. Refer to “Note 9. Long-Term Debt” in the notes to the consolidated financial statements for further information regarding our debt instruments.

Cash Flow Summary
Information about our cash flows, by category, is presented in our statements of cash flows and is summarized below (in millions):
| Nine Months Ended | ||||||||||||||
| Net cash provided by (used in): | September 28, 2025 | September 29, 2024 | ||||||||||||
| Operating activities | $ | 135.7 | $ | 164.0 | ||||||||||
| Investing activities | $ | (53.4) | $ | (140.3) | ||||||||||
| Financing activities | $ | (83.2) | $ | (20.5) | ||||||||||
Cash flow provided by operating activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $135.7 million for the nine months ended September 28, 2025 compared to $164.0 million for the nine months ended September 29, 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by a higher investment in inventory reflecting earlier purchases ahead of tariff impacts during the first nine months of 2025 compared to the same period of 2024.
Cash flow used in investing activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $53.4 million for the nine months ended September 28, 2025 compared to $140.3 million for the nine months ended September 29, 2024. The decrease reflects lower acquisition investments in the first nine months of 2025 compared to the same period of 2024. Capital expenditures were $39.2 million during the first nine months of 2025 compared to $31.0 million for the same period of 2024 due to increased investments in branch locations.
Cash flow used in financing activities
Net cash used in financing activities was $83.2 million for the nine months ended September 28, 2025 compared to $20.5 million for the nine months ended September 29, 2024. The increase primarily reflected lower net borrowings to fund our acquisition investments and an increase in share repurchases during the first nine months of 2025 compared to the same period of 2024.
External Financing
Term Loans
Landscape Holding and Landscape, as borrowers (collectively, the “Borrowers”), entered into the Fifth Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the (“Fifth Amendment”), dated as of March 23, 2021, with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent and collateral agent, the several banks and other financial institutions party thereto, and certain other parties party thereto from time to time. The Fifth Amendment amended and restated the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of April 29, 2016, among the Borrowers, the lenders from time to time party thereto, and UBS AG, Stamford Branch as administrative agent and collateral agent (as amended prior to March 23, 2021, the “Existing Credit Agreement” and, as so amended and restated pursuant to the Fifth Amendment, the “Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”) to, among other things, incur $325.0 million of term loans (the “New Term Loans”).
On March 27, 2023, Landscape Holding, as representative for the Borrowers, entered into the First Amendment to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Sixth Amendment”) to implement a forward-looking interest rate based on SOFR in lieu of LIBOR.
On July 12, 2023, Landscape Holding, as representative for the Borrowers, entered into the Increase Supplement to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement to provide for an additional $120.0 million of New Term Loans.
On July 2, 2024, Landscape Holding, as representative for the Borrowers, entered into the Second Amendment to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Second Amendment”) that amends and restates the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of March 23, 2021. The Second Amendment provides for, among other things, an aggregate principal amount of approximately $392.7 million in term loans (the “Tranche B Term Loans”). The Tranche B Term Loans mature on March 22, 2030.
44
Subject to certain conditions, without the consent of the then existing lenders (but subject to the receipt of commitments), the Tranche B Term Loans may be increased (or a new term loan facility, revolving credit facility, or letter of credit facility added) by up to (i) the greater of (a) $392.0 million and (b) 100% of Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Second Amendment) for the trailing 12-month period plus (ii) an additional amount that will not cause the net secured leverage ratio after giving effect to the incurrence of such additional amount and any use of proceeds thereof to exceed 4.00 to 1.00.
The Tranche B Term Loans are subject to mandatory prepayment provisions, covenants, and events of default. Failure to comply with these covenants and other provisions could result in an event of default under the Second Amendment. If an event of default occurs, the lenders could elect to declare all amounts outstanding under the Tranche B Term Loans to be immediately due and payable and enforce their interest in collateral pledged under the agreement.
Amendments of Term Loans
On July 2, 2024, Landscape Holding and Landscape entered into the Second Amendment that amends and restates the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of March 23, 2021. The Second Amendment provides for, among other things, an aggregate principal amount of approximately $392.7 million in Tranche B Term Loans, and makes certain other changes to the existing credit agreement. Proceeds of the Tranche B Term Loans were used, among other things, (i) to repay in full the term loans outstanding immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Second Amendment, (ii) to repay certain loans outstanding under the ABL Facility, and (iii) to pay fees, costs, and expenses related to the foregoing transactions. The Tranche B Term Loans bear interest, at Landscape Holding’s option, at either (i) an adjusted Term SOFR rate plus an applicable margin equal to 1.75% (with a Term SOFR floor of 0.50%) or (ii) an alternative base rate plus an applicable margin equal to 0.75%. Voluntary prepayments of the Tranche B Term Loans are permitted at any time, in minimum principal amounts, without premium or penalty, unless in connection with certain repricing transactions that occur within the first six months after the date of effectiveness of the Second Amendment. The Tranche B Term Loans will mature on March 22, 2030. The interest rate on the outstanding balance of the Tranche B Term Loans was 5.92535% and 6.27397% as of September 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024, respectively.
The Second Amendment contains customary representations and warranties and customary affirmative and negative covenants. The negative covenants limit the ability of Landscape Holding and Landscape to:
•incur additional indebtedness;
•pay dividends, redeem stock, or make other distributions;
•repurchase, prepay, or redeem subordinated indebtedness;
•make investments;
•create restrictions on the ability of Landscape Holding’s restricted subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other intercompany transfers;
•create liens;
•transfer or sell assets;
•make negative pledges;
•consolidate, merge, sell, or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of Landscape Holding’s assets;
•change lines of business; and
•enter into certain transactions with affiliates.
ABL Facility
Landscape Holding and Landscape (collectively, the “ABL Borrowers”) are parties to the credit agreement dated December 23, 2013 (as amended by the First Amendment to the Credit Agreement, dated June 13, 2014, the Second Amendment to the Credit Agreement, dated January 26, 2015, the Third Amendment to the Credit Agreement, dated February 13, 2015, the Fourth Amendment to the Credit Agreement, dated October 20, 2015, the Omnibus Amendment to the Credit Agreement, dated May 24, 2017, the Sixth Amendment to the Credit Agreement, dated February 1, 2019, and the Seventh Amendment to the Credit Agreement, dated July 22, 2022, the “ABL Credit Agreement”) providing for an asset-based credit facility (the “ABL Facility”) of up to $600.0 million, subject to borrowing base availability, with a maturity date of July 22, 2027. The ABL Facility is secured by a first lien on the inventory and receivables of the ABL Borrowers. The ABL Facility is guaranteed by SiteOne Landscape Supply Bidco, Inc. an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and each direct and indirect wholly-owned U.S. restricted subsidiary of Landscape. Availability is determined using borrowing base calculations of eligible inventory and receivable balances less the current outstanding ABL Facility and letters of credit balances.
45
On July 22, 2022, the ABL Borrowers entered into the Seventh Amendment to the ABL Credit Agreement (the “Seventh Amendment”). The Seventh Amendment amended and restated the ABL Credit Agreement to, among other things, (i) increase the aggregate principal amount of the commitments to $600.0 million, (ii) extend the final scheduled maturity of the revolving credit facility to July 22, 2027, (iii) establish an alternate rate of interest to the LIBOR rate, (iv) replace the administrative and collateral agent, and (v) make such other changes as agreed among the ABL Borrowers and the lenders. Proceeds of the initial borrowings under the ABL Credit Agreement on the closing date of the Seventh Amendment were used, among other things, (i) to repay in full the loans outstanding under the ABL Credit Agreement immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Seventh Amendment, (ii) to pay fees and expenses related to the Seventh Amendment and the ABL Credit Agreement, and (iii) for working capital and other general corporate purposes.
Loans under the ABL Credit Agreement bear interest, at Landscape Holding’s option, at either (i) an adjusted Term SOFR rate equal to Term SOFR plus 0.10% (subject to a floor of 0.00%) plus an applicable margin of 1.25% or 1.50% or (ii) an alternate base rate plus an applicable margin of 0.25% or 0.50%, in each case depending on the average daily excess availability under the ABL Credit Agreement, and in each case subject to a 0.125% reduction when the Consolidated First Lien Leverage Ratio (as defined in the ABL Credit Agreement) is less than 1.50:1.00. Additionally, undrawn commitments under the ABL Credit Agreement bear a commitment fee of 0.20% or 0.25%, depending on the average daily undrawn portion of the commitments under the ABL Credit Agreement.
There was no outstanding balance under the ABL Facility as of September 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024. The commitment fees on unfunded amounts were 0.25% as of September 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024.
The ABL Facility is subject to mandatory prepayments if the outstanding loans and letters of credit exceed either the aggregate revolving commitments or the current borrowing base, in an amount equal to such excess. Additionally, the ABL Facility is subject to various covenants, including incurrence covenants that require the Company to meet minimum financial ratios, and additional borrowings and other corporate transactions may be limited by failure to meet these financial ratios. Failure to meet any of these covenants could result in an event of default under these agreements. If an event of default occurs, the lenders could elect to declare all amounts outstanding under these agreements to be immediately due and payable, enforce their interest in collateral pledged under the agreement, or restrict the ABL Borrowers’ ability to obtain additional borrowings under these agreements. The ABL Facility is secured by a first lien security interest over inventory and receivables and a second lien security interest over all other assets pledged as collateral.
The ABL Facility contains customary representations and warranties and customary affirmative and negative covenants. The negative covenants are limited to the following: financial condition, fundamental changes, dividends and distributions, acquisitions, dispositions of collateral, payments and modifications of restricted indebtedness, negative pledge clauses, changes in line of business, currency, commodity and other hedging transactions, transactions with affiliates, investments, indebtedness, and liens. The negative covenants are subject to customary exceptions and also permit the payment of dividends and distributions, investments, permitted acquisitions, payments or redemptions of indebtedness under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, asset sales and mergers, consolidations, and sales of all or substantially all assets involving subsidiaries upon satisfaction of a “payment condition.” The payment condition is deemed satisfied upon 30-day specified excess availability and specified availability exceeding agreed upon thresholds and, in certain cases, the absence of specified events of default or known events of default and pro forma compliance with a consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.00 to 1.00.
Subject to certain conditions and subject to the receipt of commitments, the ABL Facility may be increased (or a new term loan facility added) by up to (i) the greater of (a) $450.0 million and (b) 100% of Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the ABL Credit Agreement) for the period of the most recent four consecutive fiscal quarters ending prior to the date of such determination plus (ii) an additional amount that will not cause the Consolidated First Lien Leverage Ratio, after giving effect to the incurrence of such additional amount and any use of proceeds thereof, to exceed 5.00 to 1.00.
There are no financial covenants included in the ABL Credit Agreement, other than a springing minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.00 to 1.00, which is tested only when specified availability is less than 10.0% of the lesser of (x) the then applicable borrowing base and (y) the then aggregate effective commitments under the ABL Facility, and continuing until such time as specified availability has been in excess of such threshold for a period of 20 consecutive calendar days.
Failure to comply with the covenants and other provisions included in the ABL Credit Agreement could result in an event of default under the ABL Facility. If an event of default occurs, the lenders could elect to declare all amounts outstanding under the ABL Facility to be immediately due and payable, enforce their interest in collateral pledged under the agreement, or restrict the ABL Borrowers’ ability to obtain additional borrowings thereunder.

Subsidiary ABL Facility
In connection with our acquisition of a controlling interest in Devil Mountain, on April 30, 2024, Devil Mountain entered into the Eighth Amendment to the Credit Agreement and Consent providing for an asset-based credit facility (the “Devil Mountain ABL Facility”) of up to $20.0 million, subject to borrowing base availability.
Loans under the Devil Mountain ABL Facility bear interest at either (i) an adjusted Term SOFR rate equal to Term SOFR plus an applicable margin of 1.90% or 2.10% or (ii) an alternate base rate plus an applicable margin of 0.80% or 1.00%, subject to a 0.20% reduction when the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Devil Mountain ABL Facility) is greater than 2.00:1.00. Additionally, undrawn commitments under the Devil Mountain ABL Facility bear a commitment fee of 0.25% on the actual undrawn portion of the commitments under the Devil Mountain ABL Facility based upon the daily utilization for the previous quarter. The interest rate on the outstanding balance under the Devil Mountain ABL Facility was 6.18021% and 6.65265% as of September 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024, respectively.
Limitations on Distributions and Dividends by Subsidiaries
The ability of our subsidiaries to make distributions and dividends to us depends on their operating results, cash requirements, financial condition, and general business conditions, as well as restrictions under the laws of our subsidiaries’ jurisdictions.
The agreements governing the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and the ABL Facility restrict the ability of our subsidiaries to pay dividends, make loans, or otherwise transfer assets to us. Further, our subsidiaries are permitted under the terms of the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and the ABL Facility as well as other indebtedness to incur additional indebtedness that may restrict or prohibit the making of distributions, the payment of dividends, or the making of loans to us.
Interest Rate Swaps
We are subject to interest rate risk with regard to existing and future issuances of debt. We have, in the past, utilized interest rate swap contracts to reduce our exposure to fluctuations in variable interest rates for future interest payments on existing debt. Prior to the termination of interest rate swaps 7, 8, and 9 upon maturity on March 23, 2025, we were party to interest rate swap contracts to convert the variable interest rate to a fixed interest rate on portions of the borrowings under the term loans.
We recognized any differences between the variable interest rate payments and the fixed interest rate settlements from the swap counterparties as an adjustment to interest expense over the life of the swaps. We had designated these swaps as cash flow hedges and recorded the changes in the estimated fair value of the swaps to Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.
During the first quarter of 2021, we amended and restructured certain of our interest rate swap contracts using a strategy referred to as a “blend and extend”. As a result, we reclassified $5.9 million from Accrued liabilities and Other long-term liabilities to long-term debt with $1.5 million classified as Long-term debt, current portion and $4.4 million classified as Long-term debt, less current portion on our Consolidated Balance Sheets for the interest rate swap arrangements executed during the first quarter of 2021 that were determined to be hybrid debt instruments. As of September 28, 2025, there was no outstanding amount as the interest rate swaps were terminated upon maturity on March 23, 2025.
For additional information, refer to “Note 4. Fair Value Measurement and Interest Rate Swaps” and “Note 9. Long-Term Debt” in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

Refer to “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the 2024 Fiscal Year for additional detail and discussion of these critical accounting estimates. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting estimates as described in our most recent Annual Report.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Interest Rate Risk
We are subject to interest rate risk with regard to existing and future issuances of debt. We have, in the past, utilized interest rate swap contracts to convert variable interest rates to fixed interest rates on borrowings under our term loans to reduce volatility in our borrowing expenses. Upon maturity on March 23, 2025, each of our existing interest rate swap contracts were terminated, and therefore, all of the borrowings outstanding under our term loans are subject to variable interest rates. For additional information, refer to “Note 9. Long-Term Debt” in the notes to the consolidated financial statements and “Part I—Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation "—Liquidity and Capital Resources".
There have been no material changes from the information provided in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the 2024 Fiscal Year.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were designed at a reasonable assurance level and were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
