MILWAUKEE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 28, 2026-- 

Zurn Elkay Water Solutions Corporation $(ZWS)$

Second Quarter Highlights

   --  Net sales in the quarter were $491 million compared with $445 million 
      in last year's June quarter (+10% core sales(1)). 
 
   --  Net income from continuing operations was $113 million (diluted EPS 
      from continuing operations of $0.67) compared with net income from 
      continuing operations of $50 million (diluted EPS from continuing 
      operations of $0.29) in the year-ago quarter. 
 
   --  Adjusted EBITDA(1) was $136 million (27.7% of net sales) compared with 
      $118 million (26.5% of net sales) in last year's second quarter. 
 
   --  Adjusted EPS(1) was $0.50 compared with $0.42 in the year-ago quarter. 
 
 
   --  Net debt leverage(1) of 0.3x as of June 30, 2026. 
 
   --  Deployed $50 million to repurchase 1.0 million shares of common stock 
      in the quarter. 
 
   --  Received $48 million of cash refunds related to previously paid 
      International Emergency Economic Powers Act ("IEEPA") reciprocal tariffs 
      (benefit recorded within cost of sales in the condensed consolidated 
      statements of operations and excluded from adjusted EBITDA(1)). 

Todd A. Adams, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We delivered a solid second quarter, first half and are raising our outlook for the full year. Core sales(1) grew 10% and adjusted EBITDA margins(1) of 27.7% expanded by 120 basis points over the prior year second quarter. We continue to leverage the Zurn Elkay Business System to drive above market growth in targeted areas as well as a higher baseline of incremental margins through our relentless deployment of 80/20, our supply chain initiatives and the continuous improvement our associates drive every day. Our robust and increasing levels of free cash flow(1) provide us with the flexibility to continue to be both disciplined and strategic, investing in stock repurchases, a growing dividend and acquisitions while maintaining a low leverage profile. In the quarter we repurchased $50 million dollars of our own shares, bringing the total to $100 million over the first half of 2026 while also paying $37 million in dividends."

Adams continued, "We're pleased to have completed the acquisition of Intellihot, which has been a long-term proprietary cultivation of a strategic opportunity in an adjacency we had wanted to enter. Intellihot is a pioneer in high-efficiency water heating, offering tankless gas and electric water heaters into our core markets and verticals that provide category leading efficiency and reliability. We see significant long-term upside in the business as we move through a thoughtful integration plan over the coming years. Beyond Intellihot, we remain on track to launch several new products into adjacent categories in the back half of 2026 and into 2027 that expand our served available market, that in time, we believe will continue to help us drive the above-market growth we have delivered for 15+ years."

Third Quarter and Full Year Outlook

"We continue to approach our outlook through a prudent, quarter-by-quarter lens. For the third quarter, we expect core sales(1) growth of approximately 6% to 7% and adjusted EBITDA margins(1) to be around 28%. We currently expect mid-single digit core(1) growth in the fourth quarter and for the full year 2026, adjusted EBITDA(1) between $503 million to $513 million, which would represent year-over-year margin expansion of roughly 140 basis points compared to 2025 (excluding all tariff related refunds). We expect Intellihot sales to approximate $16 million for the remainder of 2026. Finally, we expect full year free cash flow(1) of at least $350 million, which also excludes the net impact of tariff related refunds we've already received."

Second Quarter 2026 Overview

Net sales were $491.0 million and $444.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025, respectively, an increase of 10% year over year. Core sales improved 10% year over year, including growth in all product categories.

During the three months ended June 30, 2026, income from operations was $152.3 million compared to $77.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2025. During the quarter ended June 30, 2026, the Company received a $47.6 million IEEPA reciprocal tariff refund. Excluding this item, income from operations increased by $27.1 million, an increase of 380 basis points year over year as a result of the favorable impact of year-over-year sales growth (inclusive of price realization) and Zurn Elkay Business System led productivity initiatives.

Adjusted EBITDA(1) was $136.0 million, or 27.7% of net sales, during the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to $117.9 million, or 26.5% of net sales, during the three months ended June 30, 2025.

 
(1)  Refer to "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for a definition of this non-GAAP 
     metric, as well as the accompanying reconciliations to GAAP. 
 

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The following non-GAAP financial measures are utilized by management in comparing our operating performance on a consistent basis. We believe that these financial measures are appropriate to enhance an overall understanding of our underlying operating performance trends compared to historical and prospective periods and our peers. Management also believes that these measures are useful to investors in their analysis of our results of operations and provide improved comparability between fiscal periods as well as insight into the compliance with our debt covenants. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information calculated in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures presented above to our GAAP results has been provided in the financial tables included in this press release.

Core Sales

Core sales excludes the impact of mergers, acquisitions, divestitures and foreign currency translation. Management believes that core sales facilitates easier and more meaningful comparison of our net sales performance with prior and future periods and to our peers. We exclude the effect of mergers, acquisitions and divestitures because the nature, size and number of mergers, acquisitions and divestitures can vary dramatically from period to period and between us and our peers, and can also obscure underlying business trends and make comparisons of long-term performance difficult. We exclude the effect of foreign currency translation from this measure because the volatility of currency translation is not under management's control.

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Share

Adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share (calculated on a diluted basis) exclude actuarial gains and losses on pension and postretirement benefit obligations, restructuring and other similar charges, gains or losses on divestitures, discontinued operations, gains or losses on extinguishment of debt, the impact of acquisition-related fair value adjustments in connection with purchase accounting, amortization of intangible assets, the adjustment to state inventories at last-in, first-out costs, and other non-operational, non-cash or non-recurring gains and losses, net of their income tax impact. The tax rates used to calculate adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share are based on a transaction specific basis. We believe that adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share are useful in assessing our financial performance by excluding items that are not indicative of our core operating performance or that may obscure trends useful in evaluating our continuing results of operations.

EBITDA

EBITDA represents earnings from continuing operations before interest and other debt related activities, taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is presented because it is an important supplemental measure of performance and it is frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry. EBITDA is also presented and compared by analysts and investors in evaluating our ability to meet debt service obligations. Other companies in our industry may calculate EBITDA differently. EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities or as a measure of liquidity or an alternative to net income as indicators of operating performance or any other measures of performance derived in accordance with GAAP. Because EBITDA is calculated before recurring cash charges, including interest expense and taxes, and is not adjusted for capital expenditures or other recurring cash requirements of the business, it should not be considered as a measure of discretionary cash available to invest in the growth of the business.

Adjusted EBITDA

"Adjusted EBITDA" is the term we use to describe EBITDA as defined and adjusted in our credit agreement, which is net income, adjusted for the items summarized in the Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures table below. Adjusted EBITDA is intended to show our unleveraged, pre-tax operating results and therefore reflects our financial performance based on operational factors, excluding non-operational, non-cash or non-recurring gains or losses. It is also provided to aid investors in understanding our compliance with our debt covenants. Adjusted EBITDA is not a presentation made in accordance with GAAP, and our use of the term Adjusted EBITDA varies from others in our industry. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income, income from operations or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA has important limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for, analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. For example, Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect: (a) our capital expenditures, future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; (b) changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; (c) the significant interest expenses, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debt; (d) tax payments that represent a reduction in cash available to us; (e) any cash requirements for the assets being depreciated and amortized that may have to be replaced in the future; or (f) the impact of earnings or charges resulting from matters that we and the lenders under our credit agreement may not consider indicative of our ongoing operations. In particular, our definition of Adjusted EBITDA allows us to add back certain non-cash, non-operating or non-recurring charges that are deducted in calculating net income, even though these are expenses that may recur, vary greatly and are difficult to predict and can represent the effect of long-term strategies as opposed to short-term results. "Adjusted EBITDA Margin" is the term we use to describe Adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales.

In addition, certain of these expenses can represent the reduction of cash that could be used for other corporate purposes. Further, although not included in the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA below, the measure may at times allow us to add estimated cost savings and operating synergies related to operational changes ranging from acquisitions to dispositions to restructurings and/or exclude one-time transition expenditures that we anticipate we will need to incur to realize cost savings before such savings have occurred. Further, management and various investors use the ratio of total debt less cash to Adjusted EBITDA (which includes a full pro forma last-twelve-month impact of acquisitions), or "net debt leverage", as a measure of our financial strength and ability to incur incremental indebtedness when making key investment decisions and evaluating us against peers. Lastly, management and various investors use the ratio of the change in Adjusted EBITDA divided by the change in net sales (referred to as "incremental margin" in the case of an increase in net sales or "decremental margin" in the case of a decrease in net sales) as an additional measure of our financial performance and when making key investment decisions and evaluating us against peers.

Free Cash Flow

We define Free Cash Flow as cash flow from operations less capital expenditures and IEEPA reciprocal tariff refunds, and we use this metric in analyzing our ability to service and repay our debt and to forecast future periods. However, this measure does not represent funds available for investment or other discretionary uses since it does not deduct cash used to service our debt. We define Free Cash Flow Conversion as Free Cash Flow divided by net income.

Return on Invested Capital ("ROIC")

ROIC is used because we believe it is an important supplemental measure of financial performance and it is also currently a performance measure under our long-term incentive plan. ROIC is frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry. ROIC is also used by investors and analysts to evaluate management's deployment of capital to create shareholder value. We define ROIC as tax-effected net operating income for the last 12 months divided by average total invested capital over a rolling four-quarter period. Total invested capital is defined as shareholders equity plus debt, less cash and cash equivalents. Other companies may not define or calculate ROIC in the same way.
