This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q of Hayward Holdings, Inc. (the “Company,” “we” or “us”) contains certain “forward-looking statements” as that term is defined under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the “Act”) and releases issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Such forward-looking statements relating to us are based on the beliefs of our management as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, us. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about our strategies, plans, objectives, expectations, intentions, expenditures and assumptions and other statements contained in or incorporated by reference in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that are not historical facts. When used in this document, words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “intend,” “potential,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “plan,” “target,” “predict,” “project,” “seek” and similar expressions as they relate to us are intended to identify forward-looking statements. We believe that it is important to communicate our future expectations to our shareholders, and we therefore make forward-looking statements in reliance upon the safe harbor provisions of the Act. However, there may be events in the future that we are not able to accurately predict or control, and actual results may differ materially from the expectations we describe in our forward-looking statements.

Examples of forward-looking statements include, among others, statements we make regarding: our financial position; business plans and objectives; general economic and industry trends; business prospects; future product development and acquisition strategies; future channel stocking levels; growth and expansion opportunities; operating results; and working capital and liquidity. The forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are only predictions. We may not achieve the plans, intentions or expectations disclosed in our forward-looking statements, and you should not place significant reliance on our forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Moreover, neither we nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of forward-looking statements taken from third-party industry and market reports.

Important factors that could affect our future results and could cause those results or other outcomes to differ materially from those indicated in our forward-looking statements include the following:

• our relationships with and the performance of distributors, builders, buying groups, retailers, e-tailers and servicers who sell our products to pool owners;

• the impact of changes in laws, regulations and administrative policy, including those that limit U.S. tax benefits, impact trade agreements, or address the impacts of climate change;

Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results, performance or achievements may vary materially from those described in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, intended, planned or projected. The forward-looking statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are made only as of the date of this report.

Hayward Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings,” the “Company,” “we” or “us”) is a global designer and manufacturer of pool and outdoor living technology. The Company has seven manufacturing facilities worldwide, which are located in North Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, Rhode Island, Spain (two) and China, and other facilities in the United States, Canada, France and Australia. Cash flow is impacted by the seasonality of the swimming pool business. Cash flow is usually higher in the second and third quarters due to terms of sale to our customers.

We establish actual interim closing dates using a fiscal calendar in which our fiscal quarters end on the Saturday closest to the calendar quarter end, with the exception of year-end, which ends on December 31 of each fiscal year. The interim closing date for the first, second and third quarters of 2025 are March 29, June 28, and September 27, compared to the respective March 30, June 29, and September 28, 2024 dates. We had three less working days for the three months ended March 29, 2025 compared to the respective 2024 period.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company included herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The financial statements reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of such information. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Certain information and note disclosures, including a description of significant accounting policies normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.

Hayward Holdings, Inc. and its direct wholly owned subsidiary, Hayward Intermediate, Inc., are holding companies with no other operations, material assets or liabilities other than the ownership by Hayward Intermediate, Inc. of all of the equity interests in Hayward Industries, Inc., which is the borrower under our First Lien Term Facility and ABL Revolving Credit Facility (collectively “Credit Facilities”). Refer to Note 21. Condensed Financial Information of Registrant (Parent Company Only) of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 for the financial information detail of the holding company, Hayward Holdings, Inc.

These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. The results of operations for the three months ended March 29, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results for any subsequent periods or the entire fiscal year ending December 31, 2025.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified for comparative purposes to conform to the current presentation.

On July 3, 2024, the Company entered into a Receivables Purchase Agreement under which it may offer to sell eligible accounts receivable. The agreement is uncommitted and the eligible accounts receivable to be sold under the agreement consist of up to $125 million in accounts receivable generated by sales to specified customers of the Company. The Company will be paid a discounted purchase price for each receivable sold. The discount rate used to determine the purchase price for the subject receivables is based upon an annual interest rate equal to the forward-looking term rate based on the secured overnight financing rate for the period of time between payment to the Company and the due date for the receivable plus a buffer period specific to the obligor, plus a margin applicable to the specified obligor.

Transactions under this agreement are accounted for as sales of accounts receivable, and the receivables sold are removed from the consolidated balance sheets at the time of the sales transaction. Proceeds received from the sales of accounts receivable are classified as operating cash flows in the consolidated statements of cash flows. We record the discount in the “Other expense, net” line in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company, as the servicer under the Receivables Purchase Agreement, continues to service the accounts receivable sold. For the three months ended March 29, 2025, there were $99.1 million of proceeds from the sale of $100.0 million of receivables under the Receivables Purchase Agreement, and $100.0 million of sold receivables remained to be collected and remitted to the transferee as of March 29, 2025. The loss recognized on the sales for the three months ended March 29, 2025 was $0.9 million.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which is intended to improve income tax disclosure requirements by requiring (i) consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and (ii) the disaggregation of income taxes paid by jurisdiction. The guidance makes several other changes to the income tax disclosure requirements. The amendments in ASU 2023-09 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted, and is required to be applied prospectively with the option of retrospective application. The Company is evaluating the impact of the standard on its income tax disclosures and does not intend to early adopt.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which includes requirements that an entity disclose in the notes to the financial statements specified information about certain costs and expenses, including the amounts of (a) purchases of inventory, (b) employee compensation, (c) depreciation and (d) intangible asset amortization included in each relevant expense caption presented on the statement of operations. The standard also requires disclosure of a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively, as well as the total amount of selling expenses and an entity’s definition of selling expenses. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of the standard on its disclosures.

The following table disaggregates net sales between product groups and geographic regions, respectively (in thousands):

Inventories, net, consist of the following (in thousands):

Accrued expenses and other liabilities consist of the following (in thousands):

The Company offers warranties on certain of its products and records an accrual for estimated future claims. Such accruals are based on historical experience and management’s estimate of the level of future claims.

The following table summarizes the warranty reserve activities (in thousands):

Warranty expenses for the three months ended March 29, 2025 and March 30, 2024 were $8.1 million and $8.2 million, respectively.

The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended March 29, 2025 and March 30, 2024 was 23.3% and 23.8%, respectively, after discrete items. The change in the Company's effective tax rate was primarily due to a reduction in the foreign rate differential.

The Company will recognize a tax benefit in the financial statements for an uncertain tax position only if the Company’s assessment is that the position is “more likely than not” (i.e., a likelihood greater than 50 percent) to be allowed by the tax jurisdiction based solely on the technical merits of the position. The term “tax position” refers to a position in a previously filed tax return or a position expected to be taken in a future tax return that is reflected in measuring current or deferred income tax assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes. There were uncertain tax positions of $1.3 million as of March 29, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, the Company considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities and projected future taxable income in making this assessment. Management evaluates the need for valuation allowances on the deferred tax assets according to the provisions of ASC 740, Income Taxes. In making this determination, the Company assesses all available evidence (positive and negative) including recent earnings, internally-prepared income tax projections, and historical financial performance.

Long-term debt, net, consists of the following (in thousands):

In April 2024, the Company made $123.1 million of voluntary principal prepayments of the incremental term loan portion of the First Lien Term Facility (the “Incremental Term Loan B”). As a result of these prepayments, there is zero aggregate principal outstanding remaining on the Incremental Term Loan B.

The Credit Facilities contain collateral requirements, restrictions, and covenants, including restrictions under the First Lien Term Facility on the Company’s ability to pay dividends on the Common Stock. Under the agreement governing the First Lien Credit Facility (the “First Lien Credit Agreement”), the Company must also make an annual mandatory prepayment of principal commencing April 2023 for between 0% and 50% of the excess cash, as defined in the First Lien Credit Agreement, generated in the prior calendar year. The amount due varies with the First Lien Leverage Ratio as defined in the First Lien Credit Agreement, from zero if the First Lien Leverage Ratio is less than or equal to 2.5x, to fifty percent if the First Lien Leverage Ratio is greater than 3.0x less certain allowed deductions. The Company did not have a mandatory prepayment in 2025 based on the First Lien Leverage Ratio as of December 31, 2024 and the applicable criteria under the First Lien Credit Agreement. All outstanding principal under the First Lien Credit Agreement is due at maturity on May 28, 2028. The maturity date under the ABL Revolving Credit Facility (“ABL Facility”) is June 1, 2026. As of March 29, 2025, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Facilities.

The Company holds derivative financial instruments for the purpose of hedging the risks of certain identifiable and anticipated transactions. In general, the types of risks hedged are those relating to the variability of future earnings and cash flows caused by movements in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. In hedging these transactions, the Company holds the following types of derivatives in the normal course of business.

The Company enters into interest rate swap agreements designated as cash flow hedges to manage interest rate risk related to its variable rate debt obligations. As cash flow hedges, unrealized gains are recognized as assets while unrealized losses are recognized as liabilities. The interest rate swap agreements are highly correlated to the changes in interest rates to which the Company is exposed. Unrealized gains and losses on these instruments have been designated as effective and as such, the related gains or losses have been recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax. Other comprehensive income or loss is reclassified into current period income when the hedged interest expense affects earnings.

As of March 29, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company was a party to interest rate swap agreements that hedged a notional amount of $600.0 million of the Company’s variable rate debt.

The Company enters into foreign exchange contracts to manage risks associated with future intercompany and foreign currency transactions that may be adversely affected by changes in exchange rates. These contracts are marked-to-market with the resulting gains and losses recognized in earnings. For the three months ended March 29, 2025 and March 30, 2024, the Company recognized $0.8 million of expense and $1.1 million of income, respectively, in Other (income) expense, net, related to foreign exchange contracts.

(1) The tax benefit and expense, respectively, on the (loss) gain recognized in AOCI for the three months ended March 29, 2025 and March 30, 2024 was $0.9 million and $1.9 million, respectively.

(2) The tax expense on the gain reclassified from AOCI to earnings for the three months ended March 29, 2025 and March 30, 2024 was $0.7 million and $1.1 million, respectively.

(3) The Company estimates that $7.0 million of unrealized gains will be reclassified from AOCI into earnings in the next twelve months.

The Company is required to disclose the estimated fair values of all financial instruments, even if they are not carried at their fair value. The fair values of financial instruments are estimates based upon market conditions and perceived risks. These estimates require management’s judgment and may not be indicative of the future fair values of the assets and liabilities.

The accounting guidance for fair value measurements and disclosures establishes a three-level fair value hierarchy:

•Level 1 - Inputs are based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

•Level 2 - Inputs are based on observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical or similar assets and liabilities.

•Level 3 - One or more inputs are unobservable and significant.

Financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable.

The carrying amount of these instruments approximate fair value because of their short-term nature.

The Company’s interest rate swaps and foreign exchange contracts are measured in the financial statements at fair value on a recurring basis. The fair values of these instruments are estimated using industry standard valuation models using market-based observable inputs, including interest rate curves. These instruments are customary, over-the-counter contracts with various bank counterparties. Accordingly, the fair value measurements of the interest rate swaps and foreign exchange contracts are categorized as Level 2.

The Company’s investment plan assets as part of the nonqualified Hayward Industries Supplemental Retirement Plan (the “Supplemental Retirement Plan”) are presented in the financial statements at fair value on a recurring basis and are based on quoted market prices in active markets. Accordingly, the fair value measurements of the Supplemental Retirement Plan assets are categorized as Level 1. The value of investments related to the Supplemental Retirement Plan is included in other assets and a corresponding liability to participants is recorded in other liabilities.

The following table sets forth the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands):

The estimated fair value of the long-term debt and related current maturities (excluding finance leases, the ABL Facility, and other bank debt) is based on observable quoted prices in active markets for similar liabilities and is classified as a Level 2 input. The fair value of the ABL Facility approximates its carrying value.

The following table sets forth the Company’s financial liabilities that were not carried at fair value (in thousands):

The Company’s operational and management structure is aligned to its key geographies and go-to market strategy resulting in two reportable segments: North America (“NAM”) and Europe & Rest of World (“E&RW”). Operating segments have not been aggregated to form the reportable segments. The Company's CODM is the President and Chief Executive Officer. The Company determined its reportable segments based on how the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) reviews the Company’s operating results in assessing performance and allocating resources. The CODM uses segment income in assessing performance of and allocating resources to the reportable segments. Segment income is defined as net sales less cost of sales, less segment selling, general and administrative expense (“SG&A”) and research development and engineering expense (“RD&E”), excluding acquisition and restructuring related expense, as well as amortization of intangible assets recorded within segment SG&A expense.

The CODM does not evaluate reportable segments using asset information as these are managed on an enterprise-wide basis. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those of Holdings.

The North America segment manufactures and sells residential and commercial swimming pool equipment and supplies as well as equipment that controls the flow of fluids.

The Europe & Rest of World segment manufactures and sells residential and commercial swimming pool equipment and supplies.

The Company sells its products primarily through distributors and retailers. Financial information by reportable segment, net of intercompany transactions, is included in the following summary (in thousands):

(1) Capital expenditures and depreciation associated with Corporate are not included in these totals.

(2) Amortization expense excluded from segment income is not included in these totals.

The following table presents a reconciliation of segment income to income from operations before income taxes (in thousands):

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income per share attributable to common stockholders (in thousands, except share and per share data):

						Three Months Ended
						March 29, 2025						March 30, 2024
Net income attributable to common stockholders						$	14,333					$	9,840
Weighted average number of common shares outstanding, basic						215,962,018						214,357,439
Effect of dilutive securities(a)						5,889,381						6,719,004
Weighted average number of common shares outstanding, diluted						221,851,399						221,076,443
Earnings per share attributable to common stockholders, basic						$	0.07					$	0.05
Earnings per share attributable to common stockholders, diluted						$	0.06					$	0.04

(a) For the three months ended March 29, 2025 and March 30, 2024 there were potential common shares totaling approximately 1.8 million and 2.9 million, respectively, that were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS as the effect of inclusion of such shares would have been anti-dilutive.

The Company is involved in litigation arising in the normal course of business, including involving product liability claims. Where appropriate, these matters have been submitted to the Company’s insurance carrier. The Company determines whether an estimated loss from a contingency should be accrued by assessing whether a loss is deemed probable and can be reasonably estimated. It is not possible to quantify the ultimate liability, if any, in these matters.

As of December 11, 2024, during the discovery phase of litigation in which the Company was one of several named defendants, the Company reached a mutual understanding to settle its liability in a wrongful death lawsuit related to a discontinued product. We expect the resolution to include payment in the amount of $22.0 million, which amount will be paid entirely by the Company’s insurance carriers pursuant to agreement among the Company and its insurance carriers. Accordingly, the Company has an accrual for a loss contingency of $22.0 million and insurance receivables of $22.0 million, which are recorded within other current assets and accrued expenses and other liabilities on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, respectively. The Company expects the resolution payment to be made within the next three to six months.

On August 2, 2023, a securities class action complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey against the Company and certain of its current directors and officers (Kevin Holleran and Eifion Jones) and MSD Partners, L.P. and CCMP Capital Advisors, LP on behalf of a putative class of stockholders who acquired shares of the Company’s common stock between March 2, 2022 and July 27, 2022. That action is captioned City of Southfield Fire and Police Retirement System vs. Hayward Holdings, Inc., et al., 2:23-cv-04146-WJM-ESK (D.N.J.) (“City of Southfield”). On September 28, 2023, a second, related securities class action complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey against the Company and certain of its current directors and officers (Kevin Holleran and Eifion Jones) and MSD Partners, L.P. and CCMP Capital Advisors, LP on behalf of a putative class of stockholders who acquired shares of the Company’s common stock between October 27, 2021 and July 28, 2022. That action is captioned Erie County Employees’ Retirement System vs. Hayward Holdings, Inc., et al., 2:23-cv-04146-WJM-ESK (D.N.J.) (“Erie County”). On December 19, 2023, the Court issued a ruling consolidating the two securities class actions (City of Southfield and Erie County) under the City of Southfield docket (the “Securities Class Action”) and appointing a lead plaintiff. In a consolidated class action complaint filed March 4, 2024, the Securities Class Action alleged on behalf of a putative class of stockholders who acquired shares of our common stock between October 27, 2021 and July 28, 2022, among other things, that the Company, Kevin Holleran, and Eifion Jones violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by, among other things, making materially false or misleading statements regarding inventory, growth, and demand trends and the Company’s financial projections for 2022. On October 2, 2024, the Court issued an Opinion and Order dismissing the consolidated class action complaint and granting the lead plaintiff leave to file an amended complaint within 30 days. On November 1, 2024, lead plaintiff filed a consolidated amended class action complaint making substantially similar allegations as in the consolidated class action complaint, but adding additional defendants affiliated with MSD Partners, L.P. and CCMP Capital Advisors, LP. On December 18, 2024, the Company and all other defendants moved to dismiss the consolidated amended class action complaint. The briefing on the motion to dismiss was completed on March 4, 2025. The Securities Class Action seeks unspecified monetary damages on behalf of a putative class and an award of costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees.

We dispute the allegations of wrongdoing in the Securities Class Action and the Derivative Action and intend to vigorously defend ourselves in these matters. In view of the complexity and ongoing and uncertain nature of the outstanding proceedings and inquiries, at this time we are unable to estimate a reasonably possible financial loss or range of financial loss, if any, that we may incur to resolve the Securities Class Action and the Derivative Action.

The Company’s Second Restated Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the Company to issue up to 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.001 value per share, all of which is undesignated.

The Company’s Second Restated Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the Company to issue up to 750,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $0.001 value per share. Each share of Common Stock is entitled to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of the Company’s stockholders. The holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive dividends, if any, as may be declared by the Board of Directors.

For the three months ended March 29, 2025 and March 30, 2024, no dividends were declared or paid to the Company’s common stockholders.

The Board of Directors authorized the Company’s share repurchase program (the “Share Repurchase Program”) such that the Company is authorized to repurchase from time to time up to an aggregate of $450 million of its outstanding shares of common stock, which authorization expires on July 26, 2025. The Company had no repurchases of its common stock in the quarter ended March 29, 2025 under the Share Repurchase Program. As of March 29, 2025, $400.0 million remained available for additional share repurchases under the program.

Stock-based compensation expense recorded in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for equity-classified stock-based awards for the three months ended March 29, 2025 and March 30, 2024 was $2.9 million and $2.0 million, respectively.

The Company has established two equity incentive plans, the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan and the 2017 Equity Incentive Plan. The Company no longer grants awards under the 2017 Equity Incentive Plan.

In March 2021, the Company adopted the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”). Under the 2021 Plan, up to 13,737,500 shares of common stock may be granted to employees, directors and consultants in the form of stock options, restricted stock units and other stock-based awards. The terms of awards granted under the 2021 Plan are determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, subject to the provisions of the 2021 Plan.

Options granted under the 2021 Plan expire no later than ten years from the date of grant. Options and time-based restricted stock units granted under the 2021 Plan generally vest ratably over a three-year period and performance-based restricted stock units vest at the end of three years subject to the performance criteria.

During the three months ended March 29, 2025, the Company granted 477,354 time-based restricted stock units and 353,162 performance-based restricted stock units (at the target performance level) under the 2021 Plan with a weighted-average grant-date fair value per share of $14.49 and $14.49, respectively.
