Record third-quarter sales were driven by engineered solutions for high-performance buildings, acquisitions and favorable foreign currency translation, which were partially offset by soft DIY demand. A rebound from the government shutdown and favorable comparisons to the prior-year, which was also hampered by harsh weather, contributed to the growth as well.

Geographically, Europe grew by 20.1% and was aided by M&A and favorable foreign exchange. North American sales grew 6.3%, driven by high-performance building solutions and acquisitions. All emerging markets grew and were led by Africa / Middle East, with growth driven by high-performance building and infrastructure projects, along with favorable foreign currency translation.

Sales included 3.0% organic growth, 3.5% growth from acquisitions, and a 2.4% benefit from foreign currency translation.

Adjusted EBIT was a record and was driven by higher sales and improved fixed-cost leverage from higher volumes, aided by MAP operational improvement initiatives. This more than offset increased healthcare expenses.

Record adjusted diluted EPS was primarily driven by improved adjusted EBIT.

Adjusted EBIT and adjusted EPS exclude costs related to MAP initiatives, including $22.1 million in pre-tax charges associated with SG&A-focused optimization actions that were implemented during the fiscal third quarter.

The Consumer Group’s record sales were driven by acquisitions and pricing to recover inflation. This growth was partially offset by continued softness in DIY markets as well as product rationalization.

Sales included a 2.4% organic decline, 9.0% growth from acquisitions, and a 1.3% benefit from foreign currency translation.

The adjusted EBIT increase was driven by MAP operational improvements, including SG&A-focused optimization actions, which more than offset reduced fixed-cost leverage from lower volumes and temporary inefficiencies from facility closures and transitions. The integration of acquired businesses and product rationalization also contributed to adjusted EBIT growth.

Cash Flow and Financial Position

During the first nine months of fiscal 2026:

 

•

Cash provided by operating activities was $656.7 million, the second-highest amount in the company’s history, compared to $619.0 million in the prior-year period.

 

•

Capital expenditures were $159.6 million compared to $158.9 million in the prior-year period.

 

•

The company returned $255.3 million to stockholders through cash dividends and share repurchases, an increase of 5.2% compared to the prior year.

 

•

The company had multiple small asset sales as part of MAP initiatives to rationalize production lines, with proceeds from these transactions totaling $14.3 million in the third fiscal quarter.

As of February 28, 2026:

 

•

Total debt was $2.56 billion compared to $2.10 billion a year ago, with the increase driven by debt used to finance acquisitions.

 

•

Total liquidity, including cash and committed revolving credit facilities, was $1.02 billion, compared to $1.21 billion a year ago, with the decrease driven by the use of credit facilities to finance acquisitions.

 

•

The company extended the maturity of its revolving credit facility to February 27, 2031, and maintained the size of the facility at $1.35 billion.

Business Outlook

Sullivan said, “We expect to grow sales and adjusted EBIT again in the fourth quarter and deliver record results, even as we face more challenging comparisons and geopolitical uncertainty in the Middle East adds cost and complexity to the operating environment.”

He concluded, “As we have demonstrated in prior cycles, we remain focused on what we can control—outgrowing our underlying markets and driving efficiency improvements. Our center-led procurement team is applying lessons learned from past supply chain disruptions to mitigate inflation and ensure supply, while we implement pricing actions to offset remaining cost pressures. I want to thank our associates globally—especially those in the Middle East—for their commitment to safety and their continued focus on serving customers during these uncertain times.”

The company’s outlook for the fiscal 2026 fourth quarter is:

 

•

Reaffirming consolidated sales to increase in the mid-single-digit range compared to prior-year record results.

 

•

Reaffirming consolidated adjusted EBIT to be up low- to high-single-digits compared to prior-year record results.

Closing of Kalzip Acquisition

The company completed the previously announced acquisition of Kalzip GmbH (“Kalzip”), a global leader in the design and production of metal-based roofs and facades on March 31, 2026. Kalzip generated revenue of approximately €75.0 million in calendar year 2024 and is now part of the Construction Products Group.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

To supplement the financial information presented in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (“GAAP”) in this earnings release, we use EBIT, adjusted EBIT and adjusted earnings per share, which are all non-GAAP financial measures. EBIT is defined as earnings (loss) before interest and taxes, with adjusted EBIT and adjusted earnings per share provided for the purpose of adjusting for one-off items impacting revenues and/or expenses that are not considered by management to be indicative of ongoing operations. We evaluate the profit performance of our segments based on income before income taxes, but also look to EBIT as a performance evaluation measure because interest income (expense), net is essentially related to corporate functions, as opposed to segment operations. For that reason, we believe EBIT is also useful to investors as a metric in their investment decisions. EBIT should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, income before income taxes as determined in accordance with GAAP, since EBIT omits the impact of interest and investment income or expense in determining operating performance, which represent items necessary to our continued operations, given our level of indebtedness. Nonetheless, EBIT is a key measure expected by and useful to our fixed income investors, rating agencies and the banking community all of whom believe, and we concur, that this measure is critical to the capital markets’ analysis of our segments’ core operating performance. We also evaluate EBIT because it is clear that movements in EBIT impact our ability to attract financing. Our underwriters and bankers consistently require inclusion of this measure in offering memoranda in conjunction with any debt underwriting or bank financing. EBIT may not be indicative of our historical operating results, nor is it meant to be predictive of potential

future results. See the financial statement section of this earnings release for a reconciliation of EBIT and adjusted EBIT to income before income taxes, and adjusted earnings per share to earnings per share. We have not provided a reconciliation of our fourth-quarter fiscal 2026 adjusted EBIT guidance because material terms that impact such measure are not in our control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted, and therefore a reconciliation of such measure is not available without unreasonable effort.
