Hayward Holdings HAYW Q3 2026 earnings

“Hayward delivered another solid quarter, reflecting disciplined execution and the resilience of our installed base aftermarket business model. Net sales increased 6% year-over-year in the quarter and 8% year-to-date, driven by favorable price realization and higher volumes. Data from our primary U.S. channel partners indicated strong demand for Hayward products, continued market share gains, and balanced channel inventories. Our early buy program for the 2027 pool season is progressing well, with orders ahead of the prior year in North America. We further expanded margins and delivered double-digit earnings growth despite ongoing inflationary pressures. At the same time, we maintained net leverage at 1.5x, the lowest level since our 2021 initial public offering, while increasing capital returns through share repurchases. Our strong year-to-date performance and confidence in continued execution support our increased full year guidance. We remain focused on advancing our strategic growth initiatives and creating long-term stockholder value.”
