Hayward Reports Q2 Revenue of $318.4M

Reports Q2 revenue $318.4M, consensus $304.59M. "Hayward delivered a strong second quarter and first half of 2026, reflecting continued disciplined execution and the resilience of our installed base aftermarket business model," said Kevin Holleran, Hayward's President and Chief Executive Officer. "Net sales increased 6% year-over-year in the quarter and 9% through the first half, driven by strong price realization and stable volume performance. Solid cash flow generation enabled us to reduce net leverage to 1.5x, the lowest level since the Company's initial public offering in 2021, while returning capital to stockholders through share repurchases. During the quarter, we completed a successful debt refinancing to extend maturities, reduce our cost of capital, and further enhance our financial flexibility. With balanced channel inventory levels and increasing traction with our share gain initiatives, we are maintaining our full year guidance. We remain confident in our ability to execute our strategic growth plans, deliver profitable growth, and create long-term stockholder value."
