Shares of Hayward Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: HAYW) soared 10.57% in pre-market trading on Wednesday following the release of its impressive third-quarter 2025 financial results and an increase in full-year guidance.
The global designer and manufacturer of pool and outdoor living technology reported Q3 sales of $244.3 million, surpassing the IBES estimate of $232.7 million. Adjusted earnings per share (EPS) came in at $0.14, beating the expected $0.12. The company's performance was driven by a 7% year-over-year increase in net sales, with growth across both its North America and Europe and Rest of World segments.
Hayward's CEO, Kevin Holleran, attributed the strong results to the resilience of their aftermarket model and continued traction in strategic initiatives. The company also reported improved cash flow generation, allowing it to strengthen its balance sheet and reduce net leverage to 1.8x, the lowest level in over three years. Based on the robust year-to-date performance and solid participation in early buy programs, Hayward raised its full-year 2025 guidance, now expecting net sales of $1.095 billion to $1.110 billion and adjusted EBITDA of $292 million to $297 million.
