AI Brief

Q2 FY26 earnings call · Jul 29, 2026
Q2 FY26

TL;DR. ZWS posted 10% Q2 core sales growth to $491M with adjusted EBITDA margins hitting a record 27.7% (up 120bps), raised full-year 2026 guidance, and closed the $109M IntelliHot acquisition expanding its served market by $1.1B.

Bullish
  • + Q2 net sales grew 10% core/reported to $491M, above the high end of guidance, with broad-based growth led by water safety & control and drinking water.
  • + Q2 adjusted EBITDA margin expanded 120bps YoY to a record 27.7%, exceeding the high end of guidance and the highest quarterly margin since the Zurn-LK merger.
  • + Full-year 2026 adjusted EBITDA guidance raised to $503M-$513M with ~140bps margin expansion and free cash flow of at least $350M (excluding tariff refunds).
  • + Closed $109M IntelliHot acquisition, expanding served market by $1.1B into tankless water heating with a target of $100M in revenue at 30% EBITDA margins within 5-6 years.
  • + Net debt leverage fell to 0.3x, the lowest as a public company, with $112M free cash flow generated in Q2.
  • + Returned $100M to shareholders YTD via buybacks ($50M in Q2 at ~$48/share) plus $37M in dividends, while incremental EBITDA margins ran at 40% YTD.
Bearish
  • − Q2 GAAP results were inflated by a $48M IEEPA reciprocal tariff refund that was excluded from adjusted earnings and is non-recurring.
  • − Outlook assumes full impact of the transition from expired Section 122 tariffs to new Section 301 tariffs, creating near-term tariff exposure.
