Hayward Holdings Reports Q3 2026 Growth Driven by North American Aftermarket Demand
Hayward Holdings, Inc. (HAYW) reported third-quarter fiscal 2026 results characterized by a 6% increase in net sales to $260.1 million and a 29% jump in adjusted diluted EPS to $0.18. Growth was primarily fueled by the North American market, where price realization and modest volume increases helped offset a 6% decline in international sales caused by Middle East conflicts and shipment timing. The company's strategic shift toward the residential pool aftermarket has proven effective, with recurring demand now accounting for approximately 85% of North American net sales. This stability mitigates risks associated with declining new pool construction. Management also highlighted improved operating leverage, resulting in an adjusted EBITDA margin expansion to 24.8% due to lower SG&A expenses and favorable regional product mix.
