Scott Barbour, President and Chief Executive Officer of ADS commented, "We delivered strong results in the second quarter, a testament to the key sales strategies we have executed to drive growth in core markets. Revenue from both Infiltrator and Allied products increased double digits compared to the prior year. This growth, in conjunction with favorable price/cost, end market and product mix resulted in a highly-resilient Adjusted EBITDA margin of 33.8%."
"Inorganic growth from Orenco and River Valley Pipe contributed 3.6% of the Company's 8.7% second quarter revenue increase as ADS continues to evolve as an enterprise that provides a wide range of stormwater and onsite wastewater solutions. In September, we announced our plan to build on that success through the acquisition of NDS, a leading U.S. supplier of residential stormwater and irrigation products that complement the existing ADS product portfolio. This acquisition marks another important milestone in ADS’ journey to accelerate our strategy to diversify and increase the mix of highly profitable Allied and Infiltrator products that enhance resiliency, supports profitable growth, and enable ADS to pursue water management projects across a broader set of applications."
Barbour concluded, "In light of better-than-expected results in the first half of the fiscal year, we have updated our guidance for Fiscal 2026. The end market outlook for the remainder of Fiscal 2026 remains unchanged, reflecting a challenging macroeconomic environment from high interest rates, tepid market demand and depressed construction activity. Moving into the second half of the year, ADS is well positioned to continue executing on its value proposition, driving market conversion, and accelerating organic and inorganic growth while also generating free cash flow that enables the Company to invest in the business and return capital to shareholders."
Second Quarter Fiscal 2026 Results
Net sales increased $67.8 million, or 8.7%, to $850.4 million, as compared to $782.6 million in the prior year quarter. Domestic pipe sales increased $6.7 million, or 1.6%, to $413.0 million. Domestic allied products & other sales increased $22.9 million, or 13.0%, to $199.0 million. Infiltrator sales increased $36.1 million, or 25.2%, to $179.7 million, due to the acquisition of Orenco Systems, Inc. ("Orenco") as well as double digit growth in tanks and advanced treatment products. Infiltrator organic revenue increased 7.1%. The overall increase in domestic net sales was driven by acquisitions, as well as growth in the Company's core non-residential and residential construction end markets. International sales increased $2.1 million, or 3.7%, to $58.7 million.
Gross profit increased $46.2 million, or 15.7%, to $340.1 million as compared to $293.9 million in the prior year. The increase in gross profit is primarily driven by volume growth, favorable price/cost, and favorable mix of Allied products and Infiltrator.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $25.1 million, or 26.7% to $119.2 million, as compared to $94.1 million. As a percentage of sales, selling, general and administrative expense was 14.0% as compared to 12.0% in the prior year. The increase was primarily driven by the acquisition of Orenco, as well as transaction costs associated with the acquisition of National Diversified Sales ("NDS"), as described below.
Net income per diluted share increased $0.32, or 19.2%, to $1.99, as compared to $1.67 per share in the prior year quarter, primarily due to the factors mentioned above. In addition, results for the second quarter of fiscal 2026 include an $17.6 million gain on the sale of assets held-for-sale.
Adjusted EBITDA (Non-GAAP) increased $42.0 million, or 17.1%, to $287.5 million, as compared to $245.6 million in the prior year, primarily due to the factors mentioned above. As a percentage of net sales, Adjusted EBITDA was 33.8% as compared to 31.4% in the prior year.
Segment sales results are based on Net sales to external customers. Reconciliations of GAAP to Non-GAAP financial measures for Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Earnings per Share have been provided in the financial statement tables included in this press release. An explanation of these measures is also included below under the heading “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”
Year-to-Date Fiscal 2026 Results
Net sales increased $82.3 million, or 5.2%, to $1,680.3 million, as compared to $1,597.9 million in the prior year. Domestic pipe sales decreased $4.2 million, to $828.6 million. Domestic allied products & other sales increased $26.4 million, or 7.3%, to $386.5 million. Infiltrator sales increased $67.2 million, or 23.1%, to $358.1 million. Excluding the acquisition of Orenco, Infiltrator organic revenue increased 3.9%. The overall increase in domestic net sales was primarily driven by growth in the core non-residential and residential construction end markets. International sales decreased $7.1 million, or 6.2%, to $107.1 million.
Gross profit increased $44.2 million, or 7.1%, to $670.6 million as compared to $626.4 million in the prior year. The increase in gross profit is primarily driven by favorable volume, price/cost and mix of construction market and Infiltrator sales, partially offset by unfavorable fixed cost absorption as well as the mix impact from the inclusion of Orenco.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $35.0 million, or 18.6% to $223.2 million, as compared to $188.2 million. As a percentage of sales, selling, general and administrative expense was 13.3% as compared to 11.8% in the prior year. The increase was primarily driven by the acquisition of Orenco, as well as transaction costs associated with the acquisition of NDS, as described below.
Net income per diluted share increased $0.10, or 2.7%, to $3.83, as compared to $3.73 per share in the prior year, primarily due to the factors mentioned above.
Adjusted EBITDA (Non-GAAP) increased $44.7 million, or 8.6%, to $565.7 million, as compared to $521.0 million in the prior year, primarily due to the factors mentioned above. As a percentage of net sales, Adjusted EBITDA was 33.7% as compared to 32.6% in the prior year.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). ADS management uses non-GAAP measures in its analysis of the Company’s performance. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP results available in the accompanying tables.
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release includes references to Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Earnings per Share, non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures are used in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP. These measures are not intended to be substitutes for those reported in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies, even when similar terms are used to identify such measures.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures that comprise net income before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, non-cash charges and certain other expenses. The Company’s definition of Adjusted EBITDA may differ from similar measures used by other companies, even when similar terms are used to identify such measures. Adjusted EBITDA is a key metric used by management and the Company’s board of directors to assess financial performance and evaluate the effectiveness of the Company’s business strategies.
Accordingly, management believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as the Company’s management and board of directors. In order to provide investors with a meaningful reconciliation, the Company has provided a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income.
Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP financial measure that comprises cash flow from operating activities less capital expenditures. Free Cash Flow is a measure used by management and the Company’s board of directors to assess the Company’s ability to generate cash. Accordingly, management believes that Free Cash Flow provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our ability to generate cash flow from operations after capital expenditures. In order to provide investors with a meaningful reconciliation, the Company has provided a reconciliation of cash flow from operating activities to Free Cash Flow.
Adjusted Earnings per Share excludes (gains) losses on disposals of assets or business, restructuring and realignment expenses, impairment charges and transaction costs. Adjusted Earnings per Share is a measure used by management and may be useful for investors to evaluate the Company's operational performance.
The following tables present a reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to Net Income, Free Cash Flow to Cash Flow from Operating Activities, and Adjusted Earnings per Share to Diluted Earnings per Share, the most comparable GAAP measures, for each of the periods indicated.
