Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

  1. NATURE OF THE BUSINESS

Latham Group, Inc. (the “Company” or “Latham”) wholly owns Latham Pool Products, Inc. (“Latham Pool Products”), a designer, manufacturer, and marketer of in-ground residential swimming pools in North America, Australia, and New Zealand. Latham Pool Products offers a portfolio of pools and related products, including in-ground swimming pools, pool covers, and pool liners.

  1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Unaudited Interim Financial Information

The unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2025 was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 27, 2026 and for the fiscal quarters and two fiscal quarters ended June 27, 2026 and June 28, 2025, respectively, have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with Latham Group, Inc.’s audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 included in the Company’s 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 4, 2026 (the “Annual Report”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of these condensed consolidated financial statements, have been included. The Company’s results of operations for the fiscal quarter and two fiscal quarters ended June 27, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026 or other interim periods thereof.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, known trends, and other market-specific or other relevant factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Estimates are evaluated on an ongoing basis and revised as there are changes in circumstances, facts, and experience. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known.

Seasonality

Although the Company generally has demand for its products throughout the year, its business is seasonal and weather is one of the principal external factors affecting the business. In general, net sales and net income are highest (or net loss is the lowest) during the second and third quarters, representing the peak months of swimming pool use, pool installation, and remodeling and repair activities. Severe weather may also affect net sales in all periods.

Significant Accounting Policies

Refer to the Annual Report for a discussion of the Company’s significant accounting policies.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

The Company qualifies as an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 and has elected to “opt in” to the extended transition related to complying with new or revised accounting standards, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public and nonpublic companies, the Company will adopt the new or revised standard at the time nonpublic companies adopt the new or revised standard and will do so until such time that the Company either (i) irrevocably elects to “opt out” of such extended transition period or (ii) no longer qualifies as an emerging growth company, which will occur no later than December 31, 2026. The Company may choose to early adopt any new or revised accounting standards whenever such early adoption is permitted for private companies.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40 (“ASU 2024-03”)), which improves disclosures to provide more detailed information about a business entity’s expenses. ASU 2024-03 is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026. The amendments should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating ASU 2024-03 and its potential impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270) (“ASU 2025-11”), which improves the navigability of the required interim disclosures and clarifies when that guidance is applicable. ASU 2025-11 is effective for public business entities for interim reporting periods within annual fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. The amendments should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating ASU 2025-11 and its potential impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

  1. ACQUISITIONS

Business Combinations

In February 2025, the Company completed the acquisition of two autocover dealers located in New York and Tennessee for a purchase price of $5.6 million. In February 2026, the Company completed the acquisition of Freedom Pools in Australia for a purchase price of $15.4 million, including a holdback of $1.6 million that has been accrued for on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheet. Each of these acquisitions qualified as a business combination. These transactions resulted in an increase to goodwill and intangibles, but were not material to the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements, and as a result, additional business combination disclosures for these acquisitions have been omitted.

  1. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. To increase the comparability of fair value measures, the following hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation methodologies used to measure fair value.

Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 — Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly.

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that reflect the Company’s own assumptions incorporated into valuation techniques. These valuations require significant judgment.

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. When there is more than one input at different levels within the hierarchy, the fair value is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires substantial judgment and consideration of factors specific to the asset or liability. Level 3 inputs are inherently difficult to estimate. Changes to these inputs can have significant impact on fair value measurements. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs are based on one or more of the following valuation techniques: market approach, income approach or cost approach. There were no transfers between fair value measurement levels during the fiscal quarters ended June 27, 2026 or June 28, 2025.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis

The Company’s non-financial assets such as goodwill, intangible assets, and property and equipment are measured at fair value upon acquisition and remeasured to fair value when an impairment charge is recognized. Such fair value measurements are based predominantly on Level 2 and Level 3 inputs.

Fair value of financial instruments

The Company considers the carrying amounts of cash, trade receivables, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable, and accrued expenses and other current liabilities to approximate fair value because of the short-term maturities of these instruments.

Term loans

Term loans are carried at amortized cost; however, the Company estimates the fair value of term loans for disclosure purposes. The fair value of a term loan is determined using inputs based on observable market data of a non-public exchange, which are classified as Level 2 inputs. The following table sets forth the carrying amount and fair value of the term loans (in thousands):

Line itemJune 27, 2026Carrying ValueJune 27, 2026Estimated Fair ValueDecember 31, 2025Carrying ValueDecember 31, 2025Estimated Fair Value
Term Loan$279,813$278,414$279,841$279,841

Interest rate swap

The Company estimates the fair value of the interest rate swap on a quarterly basis using Level 2 inputs, including the forward SOFR curve. The fair value is estimated by comparing (i) the present value of all future monthly fixed rate payments versus (ii) the variable payments based on the forward SOFR curve. As of June 27, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company’s interest rate swap was a liability of $0.1 million and $1.1 million, respectively, which were recorded within other long-term liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. See Note 7 for further detail.

  1. GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS, NET

Goodwill

The carrying amount of goodwill as of June 27, 2026 and as of December 31, 2025 was million and million, respectively. The change in the carrying value during the two fiscal quarters ended June 27, 2026 was primarily driven by the acquisition of Freedom Pools made in the first fiscal quarter of 2026.

On February 23, 2022, Latham Pool Products and certain subsidiary guarantors entered into a credit and guaranty agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Barclays Bank PLC, which provides a senior secured multicurrency revolving line of credit (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) in an initial principal amount of $75.0 million and a U.S. Dollar senior secured term loan facility (the “Term Loan”) in an initial principal amount of $325.0 million.

The Company is required to meet certain financial covenants, including maintaining specific liquidity measurements. There are also negative covenants, including certain restrictions on the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness, create liens, make investments, consolidate or merge with other entities, enter into transactions with affiliates, make prepayments with respect to certain indebtedness and make restricted payments and other distributions.

Revolving Credit Facility

The Revolving Credit Facility may be utilized to finance ongoing general corporate and working capital needs and permits Latham Pool Products to borrow loans in U.S. Dollars, Canadian Dollars, Euros and Australian Dollars. The Revolving Credit Facility matures on February 23, 2027, which is within one year after the date these financial statements are issued. The Company is currently in discussions to extend the Revolving Credit Facility before it matures. Loans outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility denominated in U.S. Dollars and Canadian Dollars bear interest, at the borrower’s option, at a rate per annum based on Term SOFR or CDO (each, as defined in the Credit Agreement), as applicable, plus a margin of 3.50%, or at a rate per annum based on the Base Rate or the Canadian Prime Rate (each, as defined in the Credit Agreement), plus a margin of 2.50%. Loans outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility denominated in Euros or Australian Dollars bear interest based on EURIBOR or the AUD Rate (each, as defined in the Credit Agreement), respectively, plus a margin of 3.50%. A commitment fee accrues on any unused portion of the commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility. The commitment fee is due and payable quarterly in arrears, and initially was 0.375% per annum and thereafter accrues at a rate per annum ranging from 0.25% to 0.50%, depending on the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement). Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility are not subject to amortization and are due at maturity.

The Company incurred debt issuance costs of $0.8 million related to the Revolving Credit Facility. The debt issuance costs were recorded within other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet and are being amortized over the life of the Revolving Credit Facility.

During the two fiscal quarters ended June 27, 2026, the Company repaid $35.0 million of outstanding borrowings on the Revolving Credit Facility. As of June 27, 2026, there were no outstanding borrowings on the Revolving Credit Facility and $75.0 million was available for future borrowing.

Term Loan

Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, Latham Pool Products borrowed $325.0 million in term loans. The Term Loan matures on February 23, 2029. Loans outstanding under the Term Loan bear interest, at the borrower’s option, at a rate per annum based on Term SOFR (each, as defined in the Credit Agreement), plus a margin ranging from 3.75% to 4.00%, depending on the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, or based on the Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement), plus a margin ranging from 2.75% to 3.00%, depending on the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio. Loans under the Term Loan are subject to scheduled quarterly amortization payments of $812,500, equal to 0.25% of the initial principal amount of the Term Loan. The Term Loan contains customary mandatory prepayment provisions, including requirements to make

mandatory prepayments with 50% of any excess cash flow and with 100% of the net cash proceeds from the incurrence of indebtedness not otherwise permitted to be incurred by the covenants, asset sales, and casualty and condemnation events, in each case, subject to customary exceptions.

Outstanding borrowings as of June 27, 2026 were $279.8 million, net of unamortized discount and debt issuance costs of $4.2 million.

As of June 27, 2026, the unamortized debt issuance costs and discount on the Term Loan were $2.3 million and $1.9 million, respectively. The effective interest rate was 8.94% at June 27, 2026, including the impact of the Company’s interest rate swap.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk associated with the Credit Agreement is mitigated partially through interest rate swaps.

The Company entered into an interest rate swap that was executed on March 10, 2023 (the “2023 Interest Rate Swap”). The 2023 Interest Rate Swap had an effective date of May 18, 2023 and a termination date of May 18, 2026. Under the terms of the 2023 Interest Rate Swap, the Company fixed its SOFR borrowing rate at 4.3725% on a notional amount of $161.0 million. The 2023 Interest Rate Swap was not designated as a hedging instrument for accounting purposes (see Note 4).

Subsequently, the Company entered into a new interest rate swap that was executed on June 4, 2025 (the “2025 Interest Rate Swap”). As part of the 2025 Interest Rate Swap, the Company terminated the 2023 Interest Rate Swap prior to its May 18, 2026 termination date. The 2025 Interest Rate Swap became effective on May 19, 2025 and has a termination date of May 18, 2027. Under the terms of the 2025 Interest Rate Swap, the Company fixed its SOFR borrowing rate at 3.92% on a notional amount of $140.0 million. The 2025 Interest Rate Swap is not designated as a hedging instrument for accounting purposes (see Note 4).

Debt Maturities

Principal payments due on the outstanding debt, excluding the Revolving Credit Facility, in the next five fiscal years, excluding any potential payments based on excess cash flow levels, are as follows (in thousands):

Guarantees

The obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by certain wholly owned subsidiaries (the “Guarantors”) of the Company that are party to that certain security agreement, which was executed in connection with the Credit Agreement. The obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of the Guarantors’ tangible and intangible assets, including their accounts receivables, equipment, intellectual property, inventory, cash and cash equivalents, deposit accounts, and security accounts. The Credit Agreement also restricts payments and other distributions unless certain conditions are met, which could restrict the Company’s ability to pay dividends. The ownership chain between Latham Pool Products and the Company consists of a series of holding companies with no material assets, liabilities, or standalone operations other than indirect equity interests in Latham Pool Products.

  1. LEASES

For leases with initial terms greater than 12 months, the Company considers these right-of-use assets and records the related asset and obligation at the present value of lease payments over the term. For leases with initial terms equal to or less than 12 months, the Company does not consider them as right-of-use assets and instead considers them short-term lease costs that are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company’s leases may include escalation clauses, renewal options, and/or termination options that are factored into the Company’s determination of lease term and lease payments when it is reasonably certain the option will be exercised. The Company elected to take the practical expedient and not separate lease and non-lease components of contracts. The Company estimates an incremental borrowing rate to discount the lease payments based on information available at lease commencement because the implicit rate of the lease is generally not known.

The Company leases manufacturing facilities, office space, land, and certain vehicles and equipment under operating leases. The Company also leases certain vehicles and equipment under finance leases. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. A contract is or contains a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

The components of lease expense for the fiscal quarter and two fiscal quarters ended June 27, 2026 and June 28, 2025 were as follows (in thousands):

  1. INCOME TAXES

The effective income tax rate for the fiscal quarter and two fiscal quarters ended June 27, 2026 was % and %, respectively, compared to % and %, respectively, for the fiscal quarter and two fiscal quarters ended June 28, 2025. The differences between the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate and the Company's effective income tax rates for the fiscal quarter ended June 27, 2026 and the fiscal quarter ended June 28, 2025 were primarily attributable to the discrete impact of stock-based compensation expense for which there is no associated tax benefit, the effects of branch accounting for Latham Canada and the jurisdictional mix of income.

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act ("OBBBA") was enacted in the U.S. The OBBBA maintained the 21% corporate tax rate and makes permanent many of the beneficial expired and expiring tax provisions originally enacted in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, including the immediate expensing of domestic research and development expenditures, more favorable interest deductibility and 100 percent bonus depreciation with effective dates in 2025. Revisions to the international tax framework are effective in 2026. The OBBBA did not have a material impact on the Company's effective tax rate.

  1. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

On April 12, 2021, the Company’s stockholders approved the Latham Group, Inc. 2021 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “2021 Omnibus Equity Plan”), which became effective on April 22, 2021, and was further amended on May 2, 2023 and April 30, 2026. Such amendments, among other things, collectively increased the maximum aggregate number of shares reserved for issuance under the 2021 Omnibus Equity Plan to 24,570,212 shares. The 2021 Omnibus Equity Plan provides for the issuance of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance stock units and other stock-based and cash-based awards.

Performance Stock Units

During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Compensation Committee of the Board approved the grant of performance stock units (“PSUs”) as a portion of the annual equity award to the Company’s senior management. The 2025 PSU program includes three equal tranches of grants. Each tranche has an annual performance period, with performance goals established for the first tranche of PSUs granted in 2025 in dollars, and second and third tranches of PSUs granted or to be granted in 2026 and 2027, respectively, as a percentage of growth from actual performance in the prior year. Any earned PSUs cliff vest on the third anniversary of the grant date for the first tranche. Thirty-three percent of the target number of PSUs awarded on each grant date will be earned at 0% to 200% of the target number of PSUs based on the Company’s achievement of the applicable Adjusted EBITDA performance goal (with 100% of PSUs being earned at target performance, and linear interpolation between threshold and target and maximum performance) as defined in the award agreement, for each year of the three-year performance period beginning on January 1, 2025 and ending December 31, 2027. The first and second tranches of PSUs under the 2025 PSU program were granted in March 2025 and 2026, respectively.

During the two fiscal quarters ended June 27, 2026, additional PSU grants were approved for the 2026 PSU program. The 2026 PSU program includes three equal tranches of grants. Each tranche has an annual performance period, with performance goals established for the first tranche of PSUs granted in 2026 in dollars, and second and third tranches of PSUs to be granted in 2027 and 2028 as a percentage of growth from actual performance in the prior year. Any earned PSUs cliff vest on the third anniversary of the grant date for the first tranche. Thirty-three percent of the target number of PSUs awarded on each grant date will be earned at 0% to 200% of the target number of PSUs based on the Company’s achievement of the applicable Adjusted EBITDA performance goal (with 100% of PSUs being earned at target performance, and linear interpolation between threshold and target and maximum performance) as defined in the award agreement, for each year of the three-year performance period beginning on January 1, 2026 and ending December 31, 2028. The first tranche of PSUs under the 2026 PSU program were granted in March 2026.

Adjusted EBITDA is considered a performance condition and the grant date fair value corresponds with management’s expectation of the probable outcome of the performance condition as of the grant date. The grant date fair value was determined based on the fair market value of the Company’s stock at market close on the grant date multiplied by the target number of shares subject to the award and adjusted for management’s expectation of the probable outcome of the performance condition. The probability of achieving the performance criteria is assessed quarterly during the performance period. Compensation expense related to unvested PSUs is recognized ratably over the performance period.

  1. SEGMENT REPORTING

The Company conducts business as operating and reportable segment that designs, manufactures, and markets in-ground swimming pools, pool covers, and pool liners. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer, who is the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of assessing financial performance and allocating resources.

The Company reports consolidated net income (loss), as management believes that is the measure most consistent with the measurement principles in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. Consolidated net income (loss) is used by the CODM predominantly in the annual budget and forecasting, including consideration of budget-to-actual variances when making decisions about the allocation of operating and capital resources.

Net Sales

Net sales was $197.5 million for the fiscal quarter ended June 27, 2026, compared to $172.6 million for the fiscal quarter ended June 28, 2025. The $24.8 million, or 14.4%, increase in net sales was due to a $19.0 million increase in sales volume and a $5.8 million increase from higher pricing. The increase in net sales was primarily driven by organic growth in each of our product lines, particularly the growth of our in-ground pool sales, sales growth in the Sand States, the acquisition of Freedom Pools and the full year benefit of the 2025 price increase. The increase in net sales of $24.8 million across our product lines consisted of an increase of $17.7 million for in-ground swimming pools, $3.7 million for covers and $3.4 million for liners.

Cost of Sales and Gross Margin

Cost of sales was $127.4 million for the fiscal quarter ended June 27, 2026, compared to $108.7 million for the fiscal quarter ended June 28, 2025. Gross margin decreased by 1.6%, to 35.5% of net sales for the fiscal quarter ended June 27, 2026, compared to 37.1% of net sales for the fiscal quarter ended June 28, 2025. The $18.7 million, or 17.2%, increase in cost of sales was primarily the result of the increase in sales volume, partially offset by the impact of production efficiencies resulting from lean manufacturing and value engineering programs. The 1.6% decrease in gross margin was primarily driven by quarter specific ramp-up costs of $2.8 million.

Selling, General, and Administrative Expense

Selling, general, and administrative expense was $37.6 million for the fiscal quarter ended June 27, 2026, compared to $31.9 million for the fiscal quarter ended June 28, 2025. The $5.7 million, or 17.8%, increase in selling, general, and administrative expense was primarily due to investments in our growth strategies, the timing of sales and marketing initiatives to accelerate the fiberglass conversion strategy in the Sand States, acquisition and integration related costs, which included $2.2 million of performance-based compensatory earn-out expenses related to our Coverstar Central acquisition in 2024, as well as our digital transformation efforts.

Amortization

Amortization was $7.4 million for the fiscal quarter ended June 27, 2026 and $7.3 million for the fiscal quarter ended June 28, 2025. The $0.1 million, or 0.9%, increase in amortization was due to the Freedom Pools acquisition.

Interest Expense, net

Interest expense, net was $5.9 million for the fiscal quarter ended June 27, 2026, compared to $7.1 million for the fiscal quarter ended June 28, 2025. The $1.2 million, or 17.1%, decrease in interest expense, net was primarily the result of the change in the fair value of our interest rate swap and a decrease in interest rates, compared to the fiscal quarter ended June 28, 2025.

Other Expense (Income), Net

Other expense, net was $1.4 million for the fiscal quarter ended June 27, 2026, compared to other income, net of $3.0 million for fiscal quarter ended June 28, 2025. The $4.4 million increase in other expense, net was primarily driven by an unfavorable change in net foreign currency transaction gains and losses associated with our international subsidiaries.

Earnings from Equity Method Investment

Earnings from our equity method investment in Premier Pools & Spas was $1.1 million for the fiscal quarter ended June 27, 2026, compared to $0.5 million for the fiscal quarter ended June 28, 2025, due to the financial performance of Premier Pools & Spas.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense was $6.1 million for the fiscal quarter ended June 27, 2026, compared to $5.1 million for the fiscal quarter ended June 28, 2025. Our effective tax rate was % for the fiscal quarter ended June 27, 2026, compared to % for the fiscal quarter ended June 28, 2025. The differences between the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate and our effective income tax rates for the fiscal quarter ended June 27, 2026 and the fiscal quarter ended June 28, 2025 were primarily attributable to the discrete impact of stock compensation expense for which there is no associated tax benefit, the effects of branch accounting for Latham Canada and the jurisdictional mix of income.

Net Income

Net income was $12.8 million for the fiscal quarter ended June 27, 2026, compared to $16.0 million for the fiscal quarter ended June 28, 2025. The $3.2 million, or 20.2%, decrease in net income was primarily driven by an unfavorable change in net foreign currency transaction gains and losses associated with our international subsidiaries of $5.0 million, as well as the other factors described above.

Net Income Margin

Net income margin was 6.5% for the fiscal quarter ended June 27, 2026, compared to 9.3% for the fiscal quarter ended June 28, 2025. The 2.8% decrease in net income margin was primarily driven by the $3.2 million decrease in net income, as well as the other factors described above.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA was $44.6 million for the fiscal quarter ended June 27, 2026, compared to $39.9 million for the fiscal quarter ended June 28, 2025. The $4.7 million, or 11.9%, increase in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily because of the factors described above.

Adjusted EBITDA Margin

Adjusted EBITDA margin was 22.6% for the fiscal quarter ended June 27, 2026, compared to 23.1% for the fiscal quarter ended June 28, 2025. The 0.5% decrease in Adjusted EBITDA margin was primarily because of the decrease in gross margin and the timing of sales and marketing campaigns to accelerate market penetration in the Sand States as well as the other factors described above.

Other (Income) Expense, Net

Other expense, net was $2.2 million for the two fiscal quarters ended June 27, 2026, compared to other income, net of $3.4 million for the two fiscal quarters ended June 28, 2025.

Adjusted EBITDA margin was 18.0% and remained flat for the two fiscal quarters ended June 27, 2026 compared to the two fiscal quarters ended June 28, 2025.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are key metrics used by management and our Board to assess our financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are also frequently used by analysts, investors, and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry, when considered alongside other GAAP measures. We use Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin to supplement GAAP measures of performance to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies, to make budgeting decisions, to utilize as a significant performance metric in our annual management incentive bonus plan compensation, and to compare our performance against that of other companies using similar measures. We have presented Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin solely as supplemental disclosures because we believe they allow for a more complete analysis of results of operations and assist investors and analysts in comparing our operating performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance, such as (i) depreciation and amortization, (ii) interest expense, net, (iii) income tax expense (benefit), (iv) (gain) loss on sale and disposal of property and equipment, (v) restructuring charges, (vi) stock-based compensation expense, (vii) unrealized losses (gains) on foreign currency transactions, (viii) strategic initiative costs, (ix) acquisition and integration related costs and (x) other.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are non-GAAP financial measures and should not be considered as alternatives to net income (loss) as a measure of financial performance or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP, and they should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. We encourage evaluation of these adjustments and the reasons we consider them appropriate for supplemental analysis. In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin, be mindful that in the future we may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments in this presentation. There can be no assurance that we will not modify the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin in the future, and any such modification may be material. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin should not be construed to imply that our future results will be unaffected by any such adjustments. In addition, other companies, including companies in our industry, may not calculate Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin at all or may calculate Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin differently and accordingly, are not necessarily comparable to similarly entitled measures of other companies, which reduces the usefulness of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin as tools for comparison.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin have their limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin:

  • do not reflect every expenditure, future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
  • do not reflect changes in our working capital needs;
  • do not reflect the interest expense, net, or the amounts necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our outstanding debt;
  • do not reflect income tax expense (benefit), and because the payment of taxes is part of our operations, tax expense is a necessary element of our costs and ability to operate;
  • do not reflect non-cash stock-based compensation, which will remain a key element of our overall compensation package; and
  • do not reflect the impact of earnings or charges resulting from matters we consider not to be indicative of our ongoing operations.

Although depreciation and amortization are eliminated in the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin do not reflect any costs of such replacements.

Management compensates for these limitations by primarily relying on our GAAP results, while using Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin as supplements to the corresponding GAAP financial measures.

The following table provides a reconciliation of our net income to Adjusted EBITDA for the periods presented and the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA margin (dollars in thousands):

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

Our primary sources of liquidity are net cash provided by operating activities and availability under our Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below). Historically, we have funded working capital requirements, capital expenditures, payments related to acquisitions, and debt service requirements with internally generated cash on hand, through borrowings under our credit facilities, and through the issuance of shares of our common stock. Our primary cash needs are to fund working capital, capital expenditures, debt service requirements and any acquisitions or investments we may undertake.

As of June 27, 2026, we had $43.5 million of cash, $279.8 million of outstanding borrowings and an additional $75.0 million of borrowing availability under our Revolving Credit Facility.

Our primary working capital requirements are for the purchase of inventory, payroll, rent, facility costs and other selling, general, and administrative costs. Our working capital requirements fluctuate during the fiscal year, driven primarily by seasonality and the timing of raw material purchases. Our capital expenditures are primarily related to our growth strategy, including production capacity, diversifying our product offerings, storage, and delivery equipment. We are currently undergoing a digital transformation effort to upgrade all of our technology and enterprise resource planning ("ERP") systems. We expect to fund these capital expenditures from net cash provided by operating activities or the utilization of a portion of our borrowing availability under our Revolving Credit Facility.

Our disciplined capital activity allocation strategy remains focused on deploying capital opportunistically to position Latham for profitable organic and acquisition-related growth and to de-lever and further reduce our net debt leverage ratio.

It is our belief that our existing cash, cash generated from operations and availability under our Revolving Credit Facility (which maturity is expected to be extended in the ordinary course before it matures) will be adequate to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements over the next 12 months, as well as our longer-term liquidity needs. We have based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could utilize our available capital resources sooner than we expect. We may issue debt or equity securities, which may provide an additional source of liquidity. However, there can be no assurance equity or debt financing will be available to us when we need it or, if available, the terms will be satisfactory to us and not dilutive to our then-current stockholders.

Our Indebtedness

On February 23, 2022, Latham Pool Products, Inc. (“Latham Pool Products”), our wholly owned subsidiary, entered into the Credit Agreement with Barclays Bank PLC (the "Credit Agreement"), which provides a senior secured multicurrency revolving line of credit (the "Revolving Credit Facility") in an initial principal amount of $75.0 million and a U.S. Dollar senior secured term loan (the “Term Loan”) in an initial principal amount of $325.0 million.

The obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by certain of our wholly owned subsidiaries as defined in the security agreement. The obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of the guarantors’ tangible and intangible assets, including, but not limited to, their accounts receivables, equipment, intellectual property, inventory, cash and cash equivalents, deposit accounts and security accounts.

We are required to meet certain financial covenants, including maintaining specific liquidity measurements. There are also negative covenants, including certain restrictions on our ability and the ability of our subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness, create liens, make investments, consolidate or merge with other entities, enter into transactions with affiliates, make prepayments with respect to certain indebtedness, make dividend payments, loans, or advances to us, declare dividends and make restricted payments and other distributions.

As of June 27, 2026, we were in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Agreement.

Revolving Credit Facility

The Revolving Credit Facility may be utilized to finance ongoing general corporate and working capital needs and permits Latham Pool Products to borrow loans in U.S. Dollars, Canadian Dollars, Euros and Australian Dollars. The Revolving Credit Facility matures on February 23, 2027. We are currently in discussions to extend the Revolving Credit Facility before it matures. Loans outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility denominated in U.S. Dollars and Canadian Dollars bear interest, at the borrower’s option, at a rate per annum based on Term SOFR or CDO (each, as defined in the Credit Agreement), as applicable, plus a margin of 3.50%, or at a rate per annum based on the Base Rate or the Canadian Prime Rate (each, as defined in the Credit Agreement), plus a margin of 2.50%. Loans outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility denominated in Euros or Australian Dollars bear interest based on EURIBOR or the AUD Rate (each, as defined in the Credit Agreement), respectively, plus a margin of 3.50%. A commitment fee accrues on any unused portion of the commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility. The commitment fee is due and payable quarterly in arrears, and initially was 0.375% per annum and, thereafter accrues at a rate per annum ranging from 0.25% to 0.50%, depending on the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility are not subject to amortization and are due at maturity.

During the two fiscal quarters ended June 27, 2026, we repaid $35.0 million of outstanding borrowings on the Revolving Credit Facility. As of June 27, 2026, we had no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and $75.0 million was available for future borrowing.

Term Loan

The Term Loan matures on February 23, 2029. Loans outstanding under the Term Loan bear interest, at the borrower’s option, at a rate per annum based on Term SOFR (as defined in the Credit Agreement), plus a margin ranging from 3.75% to 4.00%, depending on the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, or based on the Base Rate (each as defined in the Credit Agreement), plus a margin ranging from 2.75% to 3.00%, depending on the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio. Loans under the Term Loan are subject to scheduled quarterly amortization payments equal to 0.25% of the initial principal amount of the Term Loan.

As of June 27, 2026, we had $279.8 million of outstanding borrowings under the Term Loan.

Cash Flows

The following table summarizes our sources and uses of cash for each of the periods presented (dollars in thousands):

Operating Activities

During the two fiscal quarters ended June 27, 2026, operating activities provided $5.8 million of cash. Net income, after adjustments for non-cash items, provided cash of $38.2 million. Cash provided by operating activities was primarily driven by changes in our operating assets and liabilities, which used $32.4 million. Net cash used due to changes in our operating assets and liabilities for the two fiscal quarters ended June 27, 2026 consisted primarily of a $56.1 million increase in trade receivables, a $3.0 million increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets, a $1.2 million increase in inventories, a $0.5 million increase in other assets and a $0.1 million decrease in other long-term liabilities, partially offset by a $17.8 million increase in accounts payable, a $7.7 million increase in accrued expenses and other current liabilities

and a $2.9 million decrease in income tax receivable. The change in trade receivables was primarily driven by the increase and timing of net sales, the change in accounts payable was primarily driven by volume of purchases and timing of payments.

During the two fiscal quarters ended June 28, 2025, operating activities used $10.9 million of cash. Net income, after adjustments for non-cash items, provided cash of $40.0 million. Cash used in operating activities was driven by changes in our operating assets and liabilities, which used $50.9 million. Net cash used by changes in our operating assets and liabilities for the two fiscal quarters ended June 28, 2025 consisted primarily of a $57.4 million increase in trade receivables, a $4.9 million increase in income tax receivable, a $2.7 million increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets, a $0.9 million increase in inventories, a $0.2 million decrease in other long-term liabilities and a $0.2 million increase in other assets, partially offset by a $13.1 million increase in accounts payable and a $2.4 million increase in accrued expenses and other current liabilities. The change in trade receivables was primarily driven by the increase and timing of net sales and the change in accounts payable was primarily driven by volume of purchases and timing of payments.

Investing Activities

During the two fiscal quarters ended June 27, 2026, investing activities used $30.3 million of cash, consisting of purchases of property and equipment for $16.1 million and a cash payment for the acquisition of business, net of cash acquired of $14.3 million. Acquisition of business, net of cash acquired included $13.9 million cash paid for the acquisition of Freedom Pools and $0.4 million for a holdback paid related to the acquisition of two of our smaller autocover dealers in New York and Tennessee. Purchases of property and equipment included the second payment of $5.6 million that was paid as a follow up to the deposit made in the prior year of $12.0 million for the purchase of four fiberglass plants that had previously been leased. The remainder was primarily to expand capacity for production and diversify offerings, especially for fiberglass pools, and on-going strategic initiatives such as digital transformation.

During the two fiscal quarters ended June 28, 2025, investing activities used $15.3 million of cash, consisting of purchases of property and equipment for $10.3 million and the acquisition of two of our autocover dealers of $4.9 million. The purchase of property and equipment was primarily to expand capacity for production and diversify offerings, especially for fiberglass pools, as well as on-going strategic initiatives such as digital transformation.

Financing Activities

During the two fiscal quarters ended June 27, 2026, financing activities used $3.7 million of cash, primarily consisting of common stock withheld for taxes on restricted stock units of $2.5 million, payments on long-term debt borrowings of $0.8 million and repayments of finance lease obligations of $0.4 million.

During the two fiscal quarters ended June 28, 2025, financing activities used $3.6 million of cash, primarily consisting of common stock withheld for taxes on restricted stock units of $2.4 million, Term Loan payments of $0.8 million and repayments of finance lease obligations of $0.4 million.

Contractual Obligations

There have been no material changes, outside of the ordinary course of business, to our contractual obligations during the two fiscal quarters ended June 27, 2026 from those described under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Contractual Obligations” in our Annual Report.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. Throughout the preparation of these financial statements, we have made estimates and assumptions that impact the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Our critical accounting policies and estimates are described under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in our Annual Report and Note 2 to our condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. These estimates are based on historical results, trends, and other assumptions we believe to be reasonable. We evaluate these estimates on an ongoing basis. Actual results may differ from estimates.

Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

A description of recently issued accounting pronouncements that may potentially impact our financial position, results of operations or cash flows, and notes to such financial statements, is disclosed in Note 2 to our condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Market risk is the potential loss that may result from market changes associated with our business or with an existing or forecasted financial transaction. The value of a financial instrument may change as a result of changes in interest rates, exchange rates, commodity prices, equity prices and other market changes. We are exposed to changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates because we finance certain operations through variable rate debt instruments and denominate some of our transactions in foreign currencies. Changes in these rates may have an impact on future cash flow and earnings. We manage these risks through normal operating and financing activities.

During the two fiscal quarters ended June 27, 2026, there have been no material changes to the information included under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations— Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” in our Annual Report.

Interest Rate Risk

We entered into an interest rate swap that was executed on March 10, 2023 (the “2023 Interest Rate Swap”). The 2023 Interest Rate Swap had an effective date of May 18, 2023 and a termination date of May 18, 2026. Under the terms of the 2023 Interest Rate Swap, we fixed our SOFR borrowing rate on a notional amount of $161.0 million. The 2023 Interest Rate Swap was not designated as a hedging instrument for accounting purposes.

Additionally, we entered into a new interest rate swap that was executed on June 4, 2025 (the “2025 Interest Rate Swap”). As part of the 2025 Interest Rate Swap, we terminated the 2023 Interest Rate Swap prior to its May 18, 2026 termination date. The 2025 Interest Rate Swap became effective on May 19, 2025 and has a termination date of May 18, 2027. Under the terms of the 2025 Interest Rate Swap, we fixed our SOFR borrowing rate on a notional amount of $140.0 million. The 2025 Interest Rate Swap is not designated as a hedging instrument for accounting purposes.

An increase or decrease of 1% in the effective interest rate, giving effect related to interest rate swaps, as of June 27, 2026, would cause an increase or decrease to annual interest expense, net of approximately $1.2 million.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 27, 2026. Based upon their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level as of June 27, 2026.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Starting in the second quarter of 2024, as part of a multi-year implementation of a new ERP system, the Company began utilizing certain aspects of the new ERP system. Eventually, this ERP system will replace the existing core financial systems. The ERP system is designed to accurately maintain the Company’s financial records, enhance the flow of

financial information, improve data management and provide timely information to its management team. The Company does not believe the changes implemented to date represent a material change in internal control over financial reporting.

There were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements related to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we may be involved in legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including, among others, contract and employment claims, personal injury claims, intellectual property claims, product liability claims and warranty claims, some of which may be covered by insurance. Currently, there are no legal proceedings against us that we believe will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Further, no material legal proceedings were terminated, settled, or otherwise resolved during the fiscal quarter ended June 27, 2026. However, the results of any current or future legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty and, regardless of the outcome, we may incur significant costs and experience a diversion of management resources as a result of legal proceedings.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

We have disclosed under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report, the risk factors that materially affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. There have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 28,2026. You should carefully consider the risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other important factors set forth in the Annual Report and other subsequent reports we file with the SEC, including this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, any of which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied. For similar reasons, our past results may not be a reliable indicator of future performance and trends. You also should be aware that these risk factors and other information do not describe every risk that we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may affect us. We operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment and new risks emerge from time to time, and we anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause our views to change. In addition, these risks do not reflect the potential impact of any future acquisitions, mergers, dispositions, joint ventures or investments we may undertake. Any of these known or emerging factors may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and operating results, as well as the trading price of our common stock.

Global political uncertainty and financial market volatility caused by political instability, changes in international trade relationships and conflicts could make it more difficult for us to access financing and could adversely affect our business and operations.

Political uncertainty, an increase in trade protectionism or geopolitical conflict could have a material adverse effect on global macroeconomic activities and trade and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

The conflict in the Middle East between the United States, Israel and Iran and related geopolitical instability may adversely affect our business. In February 2026, the United States and Israel launched coordinated military strikes against Iran, which retaliated with missile attacks across the region and has since taken actions to disrupt ocean-bound vessels carrying petroleum and other supplies from passing through the Strait of Hormuz. The ongoing conflict and any further escalation, including additional military actions, retaliatory measures, sanctions, disruptions to trade or transportation routes, cyberattacks, or other governmental or market responses, has led and could continue to lead to significant disruption of global energy supplies and increases in global energy prices, heighten inflationary pressures on our input costs and supply chain, adversely affect global supply chains, energy markets, commodity prices, currency exchange rates, interest rates, financial markets and overall macroeconomic conditions, increase the cost or reduce the availability of debt financing, and adversely impact customer spending patterns in markets in which we operate. To the extent that we are unable to offset potential increases in energy and commodity costs with price increases and other mitigation actions, our profitability and overall financial results could be adversely impacted by the ongoing conflict.

The rise of economic nationalist sentiments, trade protectionism and geopolitical security has led to increasing political uncertainty and unpredictability throughout the world. Additionally, there can be no assurance that additional or new trade tensions, imposition of import and export restrictions and tariffs will not arise between various trade partners. These potential developments, market perceptions concerning these and related issues and the attendant regulatory uncertainty regarding, for example, the posture of governments with respect to international trade or national security issues, could have a material adverse effect on global trade and economic growth which, in turn, can adversely affect our business, results of operation and financial condition.

Increased trade protectionism or the perception that it may occur could materially adversely affect our business. Increasing trade protectionism may cause an increase in the cost of products exported from regions globally, the length of time required to transport products, and the risks associated with exporting products. Such increases may have an adverse impact on our business, operating schedule and financial condition. If the current global economy or outlook is undermined by downside risks and there is a prolonged economic downturn, governments may resort to new or enhanced trade barriers to protect their domestic industries against imports, thereby depressing demand.

Protectionist developments or adverse international political tensions or developments, or the perception they may occur, may have a material adverse effect on global economic conditions, and may significantly reduce global trade. Increasing trade protectionism in the markets could increase the risks associated with exporting goods to such markets. These developments could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and

financial condition.

Item 5. Other Information
