Comments from the Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer
Joseph B. Armes, CSW Industrials’ Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "I am pleased to report record revenue and adjusted EBITDA for the fiscal third quarter and fiscal year-to-date of 2026. These impressive results reflect the success of our growth strategy, including the recent acquisition and integration of businesses that broadened our HVAC/R and plumbing product offerings within Contractor Solutions and further diversified our end market exposures in Specialized Reliability Solutions. Over the past decade, CSW has allocated well over $2.1 billion of capital, including $1.7 billion toward strategic acquisitions and $124 million in capital expenditures, driving sustainable top and bottom line growth, while also returning $329 million to shareholders in share repurchases and dividends, thereby demonstrating our commitment to enhancing long-term shareholder value."
Armes continued, "Recent additions to our product portfolio have accelerated growth in repair solutions within our Contractor Solutions segment and opened previously unserved end markets in our Specialized Reliability Solutions segment. We are integrating these acquisitions aggressively and we are highly confident in our ability to achieve our operational and financial goals for these newly-acquired businesses."
Fiscal 2026 Third Quarter Consolidated Results
Fiscal third quarter revenue was $233.0 million, a $39.3 million or 20.3% increase over the prior year period. Total revenue growth included $45.0 million or 23.2% inorganic growth contributed by acquisitions over the last twelve months, which are reported within the Contractor Solutions and Specialized Reliability Solutions segments, offset by a decrease in organic revenue of $5.7 million or 2.9% due mostly to headwinds in the residential HVAC/R end market.
Gross profit in the fiscal third quarter was $92.4 million, representing 15.4% growth over $80.1 million in the prior year period. Gross margin contracted 170 bps to 39.7%, compared to 41.4% in the prior year period. The gross margin decrease was primarily a result of acquisition-related dilution and the inflation of some material costs, partially offset by pricing actions and favorable freight costs.
Operating expenses were $75.1 million, or $66.8 million adjusted to exclude $8.3 million in nonrecurring expenses in the current fiscal quarter related to transaction and integration expenses for closed acquisitions and a discrete inventory write-down associated with a realignment of our distribution strategy, compared to $50.5 million, or $49.7 million adjusted, in the prior fiscal quarter due to additional expenses related to acquired companies, including amortization of intangible assets. Operating expenses as a percentage of revenue were 32.2%, or 28.7% adjusted, higher than the prior year period of 26.1%, or 25.6% adjusted as acquisition-related synergies have not yet been realized.
Operating income in the current period was $17.3 million, or $25.7 million adjusted, compared to $29.6 million, or $30.5 million adjusted, in the prior year period. Operating income as a percentage of revenue was 7.4%, or 11.0% adjusted, compared to 15.3% or 15.7% adjusted in the prior year period. The decrease in operating margin was a result of the previously mentioned contraction in the gross margin and increased operating expenses, some of which will be in synergies that we are working to attain.
Interest expense, net of interest income, was $8.1 million, an increase from the prior year period interest income reported of $2.0 million. Interest expense in the quarter came from the $600 million Term Loan A as well as borrowings outstanding against our revolving line of credit, due to our acquisitions and share repurchase activity. The prior year period contained interest income from money market investments utilizing cash on hand from the follow on equity offering in September 2024, prior to investing in the recent acquisitions.
In the current period, reported net income attributable to CSW, net of non-controlling interest in the joint venture, decreased 61.9% to $10.3 million, compared to $26.9 million in the prior year period. EPS was $0.62 per diluted share, a decrease of 61.3% as compared to $1.60 per diluted share in the prior year period, driven primarily by the addition of interest expense incurred due to acquisitions. Excluding the amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets and the aforementioned nonrecurring expenses, adjusted EPS decreased 21.1% to $1.42 per diluted share, compared to $1.80 per diluted share in the prior year period.
Fiscal 2026 third quarter adjusted EBITDA increased 6.6% to a record $44.8 million, up from $42.0 million in the prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA margin contracted 250 bps to 19.2%, compared to 21.7% in the prior year period due to the contraction in gross margin from recent acquisitions and the related increase in operating expenses.
The quarterly cash flows from operations were $28.9 million, as compared to $10.9 million in the prior year period mostly due to the $16.8 million cash tax payment in the prior year period which was deferred from the first half of fiscal 2025.
Free cash flow, defined as cash flow from operations minus capital expenditures, was $22.7 million, compared to $7.8 million in the prior year period, an increase of $15.0 million primarily driven by the $16.8 million cash tax payment in the prior year period and was deferred from prior periods, partially offset by higher capital expenditures in the current period.
Following quarter-end, the Company announced its twenty-eighth consecutive regular quarterly cash dividend in the amount of $0.27 per share, which will be paid on February 13, 2026, to shareholders of record on January 30, 2026.
The Company’s effective tax rate for the fiscal third quarter was (34.2)%, or 28.3% adjusted, as compared to 13.8%, or 24.5% adjusted, in the prior year period. The current quarter's effective tax rate was favorably impacted by the release of uncertain tax positions of $6.4 million. The adjusted tax rate was slightly higher than our year-to-date rate due to several normal items that vary quarter-to-quarter.
Fiscal 2026 Third Quarter Segment Results
Contractor Solutions segment revenue was $168.0 million, a $35.8 million or 27.1% increase over the prior year period, comprised of inorganic growth of $42.7 million from acquisitions in the last twelve months, offset by a 5.1% or $6.8 million reduction in organic revenue from decreased unit volumes. Organic unit volumes were down in the current quarter due to ongoing weakness in housing activity, and reduced distributor inventory levels heading into year-end. As compared to the prior year period, net revenue growth was driven by the HVAC/R, electrical, plumbing, and architecturally-specified building products end markets. Including pre-acquisition revenue effect from recent acquisitions of Aspen Manufacturing, MARS Parts and PF WaterWorks, as if they had been owned by the Company during the same period in the prior year, our organic revenue growth would have declined by 7.3% in the current quarter. Segment operating income was $16.8 million, or $23.8 million adjusted to exclude $7.0 million nonrecurring expenses related to transaction and integration expenses for closed acquisitions and a discrete inventory write-down associated with a realignment of our distribution strategy, compared to $26.8 million, or $27.6 million adjusted, in the prior year period. The decrease in operating profit resulted from the inclusion of amortization related to recently acquired businesses, increased tariffs, and lower organic sales, partially offset by pricing actions and favorable domestic and ocean freight. Segment operating income margin for the fiscal third quarter was 10.0%, or 14.1% adjusted, as compared to 20.2%, or 20.9% adjusted, in the prior year period primarily due to the gross margin impact and increased acquisition-related amortization, offset somewhat by pricing actions and lower domestic and ocean freight costs. Segment adjusted EBITDA in the fiscal third quarter increased 9.6% to $41.1 million, or 24.4% of revenue, compared to $37.5 million, or 28.4% of revenue in the prior year period. The decline in margin is primarily due to lower margins associated with recent acquisitions.
Specialized Reliability Solutions segment revenue was $38.3 million, a $3.7 million or 10.8% increase over the prior year period. Revenue growth was comprised of organic growth of $1.4 million, or 4.0%, and inorganic growth of $2.3 million, or 6.8%. Revenue increased in the general industrial and mining end markets and declined in the energy and rail transportation end markets. Segment operating income was $4.5 million, or $5.1 million adjusted to exclude nonrecurring expenses related to transaction and integration expenses for closed acquisitions, as compared to $5.2 million in the prior year period, a decrease of 2.5%. Segment operating income margin for the fiscal third quarter was 11.8%, or 13.3% adjusted, as compared to the prior year period of 15.2% as a result of an escalation in material costs, indirectly driven by tariffs, as well as higher freight costs. Segment adjusted EBITDA in the fiscal third quarter was $6.5 million, or 16.9% of revenue, compared to $6.6 million, or 19.1% of revenue in the prior year period.
Engineered Building Solutions segment revenue was $28.5 million; a 1.3% decrease compared to $28.8 million in the prior year period. Segment operating income was $3.4 million, or 11.8% of revenue, as compared to the prior year period of $3.6 million, or 12.6% of revenue. The reduction in operating income was driven by increased material costs and strategic pricing in response to competitive pressures. Segment EBITDA and EBITDA margin in the fiscal third quarter were $3.9 million and 13.7%, respectively, compared to $4.1 million and 14.2%, respectively, in the prior year period.
All percentages are calculated based upon the attached financial statements. Share counts used in determining the diluted EPS are based on a weighted average of outstanding shares throughout the reporting period.
Fiscal 2026 Year-to-Date Consolidated Results
Fiscal year-to-date revenue was $773.6 million, representing 19.4% growth from $647.8 million in the prior year period, with growth coming from the Contractor Solutions and Specialized Reliability Solutions segments. Of the $125.8 million total growth, $150.6 million was inorganic from acquisitions in the last twelve months, offset by a $24.8 million or 3.8% decrease in organic revenue.
Gross profit in the fiscal year-to-date period was $327.1 million, representing $35.6 million or 12.2% growth from $291.4 million in the prior year period, with the incremental profit resulting predominantly from revenue growth and favorable ocean and domestic freight costs, partially offset by lower organic volumes and increases in material costs directly and indirectly driven by tariffs. Gross profit as a percentage of sales was 42.3%, compared to 45.0% in the prior year period. Gross margin decline was a result of the inclusion of recent acquisitions and increases in tariffs and material costs, partially offset by pricing actions and favorable ocean and domestic freight costs.
Operating expenses as a percentage of revenue were 25.6%, or 24.3% adjusted, which was an increase compared to the prior year period of 24.0%, or 23.8% adjusted. Adjustment to operating expenses excludes $10.1 million of nonrecurring expenses during the current period related to transaction and integration expenses for closed acquisitions and a discrete inventory write-down associated with a realignment of our distribution strategy, and a $0.9 million acquisition broker fee in the prior year period. Operating expenses in the current year period were $198.1 million or $188.0 million adjusted as compared to $155.2 million, or $154.4 million in the prior year period. The additional expenses were related to recent acquisitions, including amortization of intangible assets.
In the current period, operating income was $129.0 million or $139.1 million adjusted to exclude the aforementioned items, as compared to $136.2 million, or $137.1 million adjusted, in the prior year period. The incremental adjusted operating income resulted from the gross profit increase, partially offset by the operating expense increase as discussed above. Operating income margin in the current period decreased to 16.7% or 18.0% adjusted, compared to the prior year period of 21.0%, or 21.2% adjusted. During the comparative periods, the lower operating income margin was due to the decrease in gross margin, as well as a slight increase in operating expenses as a percentage of revenue.
Interest expense, net was $10.5 million, compared to $1.9 million in the prior year period. The increase of $8.6 million was a result of a higher debt balance throughout the year-to-date period as a result of the recent acquisitions.
Net income attributable to CSW decreased to $91.8 million, compared to the prior year period of $101.6 million. EPS was $5.47, compared to $6.30 in the prior period. Excluding the amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets and the aforementioned nonrecurring expenses, adjusted EPS was $7.24 vs. $7.11, an increase over the prior year period of 1.8%.
Fiscal 2026 year-to-date adjusted EBITDA increased 10.9% to $186.5 million from $168.1 million in the prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue contracted 180 bps to 24.1%, compared to 26.0%, in the prior year period due mostly to the reduction in gross margin.
Net cash provided by operating activities for the fiscal 2026 year-to-date period was $151.3 million, compared to $141.1 million in the prior year-to-date period. Operating cash flow during the year-to-date period of fiscal 2026 increased $10.3 million or 7.3% primarily due to working capital improvement.
Including cash on hand, our net debt for the covenant calculation was $764.2 million, resulting in a net Debt-to-EBITDA leverage ratio of 2.3x in accordance with our credit facility. The Company ended the quarter with $200.1 million outstanding on the revolving line of credit and the $600.0 million Term Loan A. The revolving line of credit and Term Loan A currently will have an interest rate of one-month SOFR plus 200 basis points following the third quarter covenant calculation, per terms of the credit facility. The Company has entered into a three-year syndicated interest rate hedge to lock in the SOFR rate at 3.416% for the first $300.0 million borrowing under the Term Loan A.
Fiscal 2026 year-to-date, the Company has deployed approximately $1.0 billion of capital in acquisitions and $12.1 million in organic capital expenditures, while returning $106.2 million of total cash to shareholders through share repurchases of $92.6 million and dividends of $13.6 million.
The Company’s effective tax rate for the fiscal year-to-date period was 21.4%, or 25.8% adjusted, as compared to 23.3% or 25.8% adjusted in the prior year-to-date period. The effective tax rate was favorably impacted by the aforementioned release of uncertain tax positions.
Fiscal 2026 Year-to-Date Segment Results
Contractor Solutions segment revenue was $573.2 million, a $121.8 million or 27.0% increase from the prior year period. Revenue growth was comprised of inorganic growth from acquisitions during the last twelve months ($148.2 million, or 32.8%, of growth), offset by a decrease in organic growth of $26.4 million or 5.9% due to lower unit volumes. Organic unit volumes were down in the current fiscal year due to weaker housing activity, a one-time stock up of inventory in the prior year first quarter for a customer's added distribution center network, consumers' shift to repair of HVAC units versus replacement, and customer destocking at the end of the year. As compared to the prior year period, net revenue growth was driven primarily by the HVAC/R, electrical, and plumbing end markets. Segment operating income in the current year period was $122.9 million, or $131.4 million adjusted to exclude $8.5 million nonrecurring expenses related to transaction and integration expenses for closed acquisitions and a discrete inventory write-down associated with a realignment of our distribution strategy, compared to $122.9 million, or $123.8 million adjusted, in the prior year period. The incremental profit resulted primarily from the inclusion of recent acquisitions, pricing actions and favorable ocean and domestic freight costs, partially offset by decreased organic volumes and increased tariffs. Segment operating income margin was 21.4%, or 22.9% adjusted, compared to 27.2%, or 27.4% adjusted, in the prior year period, driven primarily by the inclusion of recent acquisitions including intangible amortization, unfavorable revenue mix, and an increase in tariffs, partially offset by pricing actions and lower ocean and domestic freight costs. Segment adjusted EBITDA in the current period was $173.7 million, or 30.3% of revenue, compared to $149.4 million, or 33.1% of revenue in the prior year period.
Specialized Reliability Solutions segment revenue grew to $113.9 million, a $4.0 million or 3.6% increase from the prior year period of $109.9 million. Revenue growth was comprised of inorganic growth of $2.3 million, or 2.1% and organic growth of $1.7 million, or 1.5%. Revenue grew in the general industrial and mining end markets and reduced in the energy and rail transportation end markets. In the current year period, segment operating income was $14.9 million, or $15.4 million adjusted to exclude nonrecurring expenses related to the transaction and integration expenses for closed acquisitions, which represents 13.0%, or 13.6% adjusted, of revenue, compared to the prior year period of $18.2 million, or 16.6% of revenue. The decline in segment operating income resulted from an escalation in material costs indirectly driven by tariffs and increased commodity rates and revenue mix. Segment adjusted EBITDA in the current period was $19.4 million, or 17.0% of revenue, compared to $22.2 million, or 20.2% of revenue in the prior year period.
Engineered Building Solutions segment revenue was $92.3 million, a slight $0.1 million decrease compared to the prior year period. Segment operating income decreased 21.1% to $12.2 million, or 13.2% of revenue, compared to the prior year period of $15.5 million, or 16.7% of revenue, driven primarily by increased material costs, higher warranty expenses and strategic pricing in response to competitive pressures. Segment EBITDA in the current period was $13.5 million, or 14.7% of revenue, compared to $16.9 million, or 18.3% of revenue in the prior year period.

Attributable to CSW is defined to exclude the income attributable to the non-controlling interest in the Whitmore JV.
CSW utilizes adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization) as an additional consolidated, non-GAAP financial measure, which consists of consolidated net income including income attributable to the non-controlling interest in the Whitmore JV, adjusted to remove the impact of income taxes, interest expense, depreciation, amortization and impairment, and significant nonrecurring items.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures
We use adjusted earnings per share attributable to CSW, adjusted net income attributable to CSW, adjusted operating income, adjusted effective tax rate, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted operating cash flows, adjusted free cash flows and revenue calculated to include pre-acquisition revenue effect for recent acquisitions, together with financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, such as revenue, cost of revenue, operating expense, operating income, net income attributable to CSW and operating cash flows, to assess our historical and prospective operating performance and to enhance our understanding of our core operating performance. Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure and is defined as cash flow from operations less capital expenditures. We also believe these measures are useful for investors to assess the operating performance of our business without the effect of non-recurring items. In the following tables, there could be immaterial differences in amounts presented due to rounding.
