Revenue and EPS Performance
Net sales of $343.0 million (down 1.1% year-over-year) with adjusted diluted EPS of $0.57, which beat internal expectations and was up year-over-year primarily due to lower interest expense.
Metals Segment Margin Expansion
Metals net sales of $122 million (down 4.8% YoY) while adjusted EBITDA margin expanded to 11.2% driven by favorable mix, productivity improvements, and cost savings from Fortify Phase 2.
Services Growth and Backlog Strength
Services delivered its 9th consecutive quarter of top-line growth with net sales up approximately 8.2% year-over-year; backlog ended the quarter at $735 million (up 8% YoY and 6% sequentially).
Improved Operating Cash and Capital Returns
Net cash provided by operating activities was $7.4 million versus a $19.8 million use of cash a year ago. Returned capital included $9.7 million in share repurchases and $5.6 million in dividends. Balance sheet remains strong with consolidated leverage of ~1.3x and no near-term debt maturities.
Strategic, Accretive Kalwall Acquisition
Agreement to acquire Kalwall expected to add roughly $85 million of revenue at ~15% adjusted EBITDA in the first 12 months and target long-term margins of ~20%. Transaction expected to be accretive in year one, bring ~ $4 million of synergies by FY29, expand specification-driven daylighting capabilities, and improve portfolio durability; anticipated close in early July.
Cost Discipline and Productivity Actions
Company implemented pricing actions and surcharges, realized cost savings from Fortify Phase 2, and pursued productivity and mix improvements to counter inflationary pressure on materials and freight.
Forward Guidance and Financial Capacity
Fiscal 2027 guidance maintained at $1.38B–$1.43B net sales and $2.70–$3.25 adjusted EPS (without Kalwall). Incorporating Kalwall would raise net sales range to $1.43B–$1.48B. Expected interest expense roughly $10M (rising to ~$14M with Kalwall), adjusted tax rate 26%–27%, and capital expenditures $35M–$40M.
