Q2 2026 earnings pre-release presentation earnings summary
14 Jul, 2026Financial performance overview
Q2 2026 sales expected to decline by approximately 17% year-over-year, mainly due to inventory destocking in the Pool channel.
Adjusted operating income for Q2 2026 projected to decrease by about 21% year-over-year.
Full-year 2026 sales anticipated to be down 6–8% year-over-year, with adjusted operating income down 16–18%.
Adjusted EPS for Q2 2026 expected around $1.12, and for FY 2026 between $4.60 and $4.80.
Revenue and earnings are negatively impacted by Pool channel inventory adjustments, partially offset by positive IEEPA refunds.
Key drivers and adjustments
Major revenue headwinds stem from Pool channel inventory destocking and right-sizing ahead of the 2027 season.
Adjusted results exclude non-cash intangible amortization, acquisition-related expenses, transformation and restructuring costs, and other unusual items.
Positive impact from IEEPA refunds helps offset some of the negative effects from inventory adjustments.
Adjusted operating income and EPS figures are reconciled from GAAP to non-GAAP, with detailed breakdowns of adjustments provided.
Full-year 2026 adjusted return on sales is projected at 25%.
Forward-looking statements and risks
Financial forecasts are subject to risks including global economic conditions, supply and demand dynamics, inflation, and regulatory changes.
Results may differ materially from projections due to factors such as market acceptance, acquisition integration, and seasonality.
No obligation to update forward-looking statements after the date of the presentation.
