Last earnings call, Feb 10, 2026 AI summary
- What they said
- Zurn Elkay's Q4 2025 earnings call reported solid results: 10% core sales growth in Q4, full-year core sales up 8%, adjusted EBITDA growth with margin expansion, and strong free cash flow ($317M full year). Management highlighted supply chain optimization success, product innovation (Pro Filtration), sustainability achievements, and strategic 3-year planning focused on adjacencies and M&A optionality. Balance sheet is strong with leverage at 0.4x, $160M share repurchases in 2025, and $64M dividends. Guidance for 2026: mid-single digit core sales growth, incremental adjusted EBITDA margin roughly 35% on increased sales, and ~$335M free cash flow; Q1 guide 7-8% core sales. Tariffs and metals prices are monitored; management expects tariff-related price benefits and ongoing move to reduce China-sourced COGS. Capital allocation includes continued buybacks, potential dividends, and measured investments in new product development.
- Guidance
- Full-year 2026: core sales up mid-single digits; incremental adjusted EBITDA margin ~35%; approximately $335 million free cash flow. Q1 2026 core sales guide ~7-8%. Guidance assumes tariff countries/rates remain consistent.
- Risks flagged
- Risks mentioned include evolving tariff environment and rates, metals price inflation (copper), potential weakness in residential and commercial end markets, and uncertainty in construction project conversion. Also dependency on successful execution of supply chain shifts away from China.
