Item 1.01 Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report

Conflict Minerals Disclosure

In accordance with Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, Hayward Holdings, Inc. (“Hayward” or the “Company”) is filing this Form SD to disclose information relating to the Company’s use and sourcing of columbite-tantalite (coltan), cassiterite, gold, wolframite, or their derivatives, which are limited to tantalum, tin, and tungsten (“3TG” or “Conflict Minerals”).

The Company has determined that during the reporting period of January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2025, certain of the products the Company manufactured or contracted to manufacture contained 3TG that was necessary to the functionality or production of those products. Hayward conducted a reasonable country of origin inquiry (“RCOI”) designed to determine whether any of the 3TG originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country (each, a “Covered Country”) and whether any of the 3TG originated from recycled or scrap sources. Based on this RCOI, Hayward determined that certain of the 3TG may have originated in the Covered Countries and did not originate from recycled or scrap sources. Accordingly, Hayward exercised due diligence on the source and chain of custody of such 3TG and has filed a Conflict Minerals Report for calendar year 2025 (the “2025 Conflict Minerals Report”). The Company’s 2025 Conflict Minerals Report is attached hereto as Exhibit 1.01 and is publicly available at https://investor.hayward.com.

The Company’s 2025 Conflict Minerals Report, as required by Item 1.02, is filed as Exhibit 1.01 to this Form SD.
