---

On July 28, 2025, the Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program such that the Company is authorized to repurchase up to an aggregate of $450 million of its common stock with such authority expiring on July 28, 2028. Repurchases under the share repurchase program will be funded by cash on hand and cash generated from operations and may be made, from time to time, in amounts and at prices the Company deems appropriate and will be subject to a variety of factors, including the market price of the Company's common stock, general market and economic conditions, applicable legal requirements and other considerations. The share repurchase program is expected to be conducted through open market repurchases, privately negotiated transactions or other means, including through Rule 10b5-1(c) trading plans or through the use of other techniques such as accelerated share repurchases. The share repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of its common stock, and may be suspended, modified or discontinued at any time at the Company's discretion without prior notice.

**Forward-Looking Statements**

This Current Report on Form 8-K 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 Current Report on Form 8-K 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 stockholders, 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 the specific timing, price and size of repurchases under the share repurchase program. The forward-looking statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K 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: risks related to the specific timing, price and size of repurchases under the share repurchase program, including that the share repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time at the Company's discretion; 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; impacts on our business from the sensitivity of our business to seasonality and unfavorable economic and business conditions; our ability to develop, manufacture and effectively and profitably market and sell our new planned and future products; the impact of product manufacturing disruptions, including as a result of catastrophe, procurement challenges and other events beyond our control; competition from national and global companies, as well as lower-cost manufacturers; the imposition, or threat of imposition, of tariffs and other trade restrictions could adversely affect our business, including as a result of an adverse impact on general economic conditions; our ability to execute on growth strategies and expansion opportunities; our exposure to credit risk on our accounts receivable; impacts on our business from political, regulatory, economic, trade and other risks associated with operating international businesses, including risks associated with geopolitical conflict; our ability to maintain favorable relationships with suppliers and manage disruptions to our global supply chain and the availability of raw materials; our ability to identify emerging technological and other trends in our target end markets; failure of markets to accept new product introductions and enhancements; the ability to successfully identify, finance, complete and integrate acquisitions; our reliance on information technology systems and susceptibility to threats to those systems, including cybersecurity threats, and risks arising from our collection and use of personal information data; misuse of our technology-enabled products could lead to reduced sales, liability claims or harm to our reputation; regulatory changes and developments affecting our current and future products; volatility in currency exchange rates and interest rates; our ability to service our existing indebtedness and obtain additional capital to finance operations and our growth opportunities; our ability to establish, maintain and effectively enforce intellectual property protection for our products, as well as our ability to operate our business without infringing, misappropriating or otherwise violating the intellectual property rights of others; the impact of material cost and other inflation, including as a result of new or increased tariffs; our ability to attract and retain senior management and other qualified personnel; the outcome of litigation and governmental proceedings; uncertainties related to distribution channel inventory practices and the impact on our net sales volumes; our ability to realize cost savings from restructuring activities; and the factors set forth in the "Risk Factors" section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 and the our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Many of these factors are macroeconomic in nature and are, therefore, beyond our control. 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 Current Report on Form 8-K as anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, intended, planned or projected. The forward-looking statements included in this Current Report on Form 8-K are made only as of the date of this report. Unless required by United States federal securities laws, we neither intend nor assume any obligation to update these forward-looking statements for any reason after the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K to conform these statements to actual results or to changes in our expectations.

**Hayward Holdings Reports Second Quarter Fiscal Year 2025 Financial Results and Refines 2025 Guidance**

**SECOND QUARTER FISCAL 2025 SUMMARY**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Net Sales increased 5% year-over-year to $299.6 million

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Net Income increased 19% year-over-year to $44.8 million

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Adjusted EBITDA\* increased 7% year-over-year to $88.2 million

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Diluted EPS increased 18% year-over-year to $0.20

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Adjusted diluted EPS\* increased 14% year-over-year to $0.24

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Hayward Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: HAYW) ("Hayward" or the "Company"), a global designer, manufacturer and marketer of a broad portfolio of pool and outdoor living technology, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 28, 2025 of its fiscal year 2025. Comparisons are to financial results for the prior-year second fiscal quarter.

**CEO COMMENTS**

"I am pleased to report strong second quarter results, including continued sales and earnings growth, impressive margin expansion, and further balance sheet improvement," said Kevin Holleran, Hayward's President and Chief Executive Officer. "Net sales increased 5% year-over-year with growth across both the North America and Europe and Rest of World segments. We delivered record gross profit margins of 52.7% and solid cash flow through aggressive execution of our tariff mitigation plans. As a result, net leverage declined to 2.1x, the lowest level in over three years, enhancing our financial flexibility. These results underscore the resiliency of our aftermarket model and the continued strong performance of our dedicated team. As macroeconomic and tariff environment continues to evolve, I am confident in our ability to execute our growth strategies and create shareholder value."

**SECOND QUARTER FISCAL 2025 CONSOLIDATED RESULTS**

Net sales increased by 5% to $299.6 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2025. The increase in net sales during the quarter was driven by positive net price to offset inflation and tariffs, the favorable impact from acquisitions and foreign currency translation, partially offset by a decline in volume.

Gross profit increased by 9% to $157.8 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2025. Gross profit margin increased 170 basis points to 52.7%. The increase in gross profit margin was driven by positive net price to offset inflation and tariffs, along with operational efficiencies in our manufacturing facilities.

Selling, general, and administrative expense ("SG&A") increased by 14% to $71.9 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2025. The increase in SG&A was primarily due to higher salary costs driven by wage inflation and investments in our selling and customer care teams and higher incentive compensation expense, partially offset by decreased warranty costs. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A increased 180 basis points to 24.0%, compared to the prior-year period of 22.2%, driven by the factors discussed above. Research, development, and engineering expenses were $6.1 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2025, or 2% of net sales, as compared to $6.1 million for the prior-year period, or 2% of net sales.

Operating income increased by 5% to $71.4 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2025, due to the aggregated effects of the items described above. Operating income as a percentage of net sales ("operating margin") was 23.8% for the second quarter of fiscal 2025, a 10 basis point decrease from the 23.9% operating margin in the prior-year period.

Interest expense, net, decreased by 19% to $13.7 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2025 driven by lower interest rates, reduced debt as a result of the repayment of the Incremental Term Loan B principal balance in April 2024 and increased interest income on cash deposits. Due to the voluntary early debt repayment in April 2024, the Company incurred a $4.9 million loss on debt extinguishment in the prior-year period.

Income tax expense for the second quarter of fiscal 2025 was $14.6 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 24.6%, compared to income tax expense of $9.4 million and an effective tax rate of 19.9% for the prior-year period. The change in the effective tax rate was primarily due to return-to-provision adjustments during the prior-year period.

------

Net income increased by 19% to $44.8 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2025. Net income margin expanded 180 basis points to 15.0%.

Adjusted EBITDA\* increased by 7% to $88.2 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2025 from $82.6 million in the prior-year period. Adjusted EBITDA margin\* expanded 50 basis points to 29.5%.

Diluted EPS increased by 18% to $0.20 for the second quarter of fiscal 2025. Adjusted diluted EPS\* increased by 14% to $0.24 for the second quarter of fiscal 2025.

**SECOND QUARTER FISCAL 2025 SEGMENT RESULTS**

*North America*

Net sales increased by 6% to $255.2 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2025. The increase was driven by positive net price to offset inflation and tariffs and the acquisition and successful integration of the ChlorKing business acquired in June 2024, partially offset by a decline in volume due to the timing of orders in the 2025 season.

Segment income increased by 11% to $83.4 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2025. Adjusted segment income\* increased by 10% to $89.1 million.

*Europe & Rest of World*

Net sales increased by 3% to $44.4 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2025. The increase was primarily due to the favorable impact of foreign currency translation and positive net price, partially offset by a decline in sales volume.

Segment income decreased by 8% to $7.6 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2025. Adjusted segment income\* decreased by 6% to $8.0 million.

**BALANCE SHEET AND CASH FLOW**

As of June 28, 2025, Hayward had cash and cash equivalents of $365.1 million and approximately $163.3 million available for future borrowings under its revolving credit facilities. Cash flow provided by operations for the six months ended June 28, 2025 of $188.4 million was a decrease of $21.5 million from the prior-year period cash provided of $209.8 million. The decrease in cash provided was primarily driven by less cash generated by working capital compared to the prior-year period, partially offset by an increase in net income.

**OUTLOOK&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**

Hayward is refining its full year 2025 guidance, raising the low end of the guidance range for net sales. For fiscal year 2025, Hayward now expects net sales of $1.070 billion to $1.100 billion, or an increase of approximately 2% to 5% from fiscal year 2024, compared to our prior guidance of $1.060 billion to $1.100 billion. We continue to expect Adjusted EBITDA\* of $280 million to $290 million, or an increase of approximately 1% to 5% from fiscal year 2024.

Hayward is excited about the long-term dynamics of the pool industry. The installed base of pools increases every year, providing continued growth opportunities, and the Company benefits from favorable secular demand trends in outdoor living, sunbelt migration, and technology adoption. Hayward continues to leverage its competitive advantages and drive increasing adoption of its leading SmartPad™ pool equipment products both in new construction and the aftermarket, which represents approximately 85% of net sales. Hayward is confident in its long-term outlook for profitable growth and robust cash flow generation, driven by its technology leadership, operational excellence, strong brand and installed base, and multi-channel capabilities.

Please see the Forward-Looking Statements section of this release for a discussion of certain risks relevant to Hayward's outlook.

Hayward will hold a conference call to discuss the results today, July 30, 2025 at 9:00 a.m. (ET).

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This press release contains certain statements that are "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 (the "SEC"). Such forward-looking statements relating to Hayward are based on the beliefs of Hayward's management as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to it. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about Hayward's strategies, plans, objectives, expectations, intentions, expenditures and assumptions and other statements contained in or incorporated by reference in this earnings release that are not historical facts. When used in this document, words such as "guidance," "outlook," "may," "will," "should," "could," "intend," "potential," "continue," "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "expect," "plan," "target," "predict," "project," "seek" and similar expressions as they relate to Hayward are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Hayward believes that it is important to communicate its future expectations to its stockholders, and it therefore makes forward-looking statements in reliance upon the safe harbor provisions of the Act. However, there may be events in the future that Hayward is not able to accurately predict or control, and actual results may differ materially from the expectations it describes in its forward-looking statements.

Examples of forward-looking statements include, among others, statements Hayward makes regarding: Hayward's 2025 guidance and outlook; 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 earnings release are only predictions. Hayward may not achieve the plans, intentions or expectations disclosed in Hayward's forward-looking statements, and you should not place significant reliance on its forward-looking statements. Hayward has based these forward-looking statements largely on its current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that it believes may affect its business, financial condition and results of operations. Moreover, neither Hayward 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 Hayward's future results and could cause those results or other outcomes to differ materially from those indicated in its forward-looking statements include the following: its relationships with and the performance of distributors, builders, buying groups, retailers and servicers who sell Hayward's 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; impacts on Hayward's business from the sensitivity of its business to seasonality and unfavorable economic business conditions; Hayward's ability to develop, manufacture and effectively and profitably market and sell its new planned and future products; the impact of product manufacturing disruptions, including as a result of catastrophic and other events beyond Hayward's control; competition from national and global companies, as well as lower-cost manufacturers; the imposition, or threat of imposition, of tariffs and other trade restrictions could adversely affect Hayward's business, including as a result of an adverse impact on general economic conditions; its ability to execute on its growth strategies and expansion opportunities; Hayward's exposure to credit risk on its accounts receivable, impacts on Hayward's business from political, regulatory, economic, trade, and other risks associated with operating international businesses, including risks associated with geopolitical conflict; its ability to maintain favorable relationships with suppliers and manage disruptions to its global supply chain and the availability of raw materials; Hayward's ability to identify emerging technological and other trends in its target end markets; failure of markets to accept new product introductions and enhancements; the ability to successfully identify, finance, complete and integrate acquisitions; its reliance on information technology systems and susceptibility to threats to those systems, including cybersecurity threats, and risks arising from its collection and use of personal information data; its use of artificial intelligence technologies may not be successful and may present business, intellectual property, compliance and reputational risks; misuse of its technology-enabled products could lead to reduced sales, liability claims or harm to its reputation; regulatory changes and developments affecting Hayward's current and future products; volatility in currency exchange rates and interest rates; Hayward's ability to service its existing indebtedness and obtain additional capital to finance operations and its growth opportunities; Hayward's ability to establish, maintain and effectively enforce intellectual property protection for its products, as well as its ability to operate its business without infringing, misappropriating or otherwise violating the intellectual property rights of others; the impact of material cost and other inflation, including as a result of new or increased tariffs; Hayward's ability to attract and retain senior management and other qualified personnel; the outcome of litigation and governmental proceedings; uncertainties related to distribution channel inventory practices and its impact on Hayward's net sales volumes; Hayward's ability to realize cost savings from restructuring activities and other factors set forth in "Risk Factors" in Hayward's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Many of these factors are macroeconomic in nature and are, therefore, beyond Hayward's control. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, Hayward's actual results, performance or achievements may vary materially from those described in this earnings release as anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, intended, planned or projected. The forward-looking statements included in this earnings release are made only as of the date

of this earnings release. Unless required by United States federal securities laws, Hayward neither intends nor assumes any obligation to update these forward-looking statements for any reason after the date of this earnings release to conform these statements to actual results or to changes in Hayward's expectations.

**\*NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES**

This earnings release includes certain financial measures not presented in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP") including adjusted net income, adjusted basic EPS, adjusted diluted EPS, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted segment income and adjusted segment income margin. These financial measures are not measures of financial performance in accordance with GAAP and may exclude items that are significant in understanding and assessing the Company's financial results. Hayward believes these non-GAAP measures provide analysts, investors and other interested parties with additional insight into the underlying trends of its business and assist these parties in analyzing the Company's performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that it does not believe are indicative of its core operating performance, which allows for a better comparison against historical results and expectations for future performance. Management uses these non-GAAP measures to understand and compare operating results across reporting periods for various purposes including internal budgeting and forecasting, short and long-term operating planning, employee incentive compensation, and debt compliance. These measures should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income, segment income or other measures of profitability, performance or financial condition under GAAP. You should be aware that the Company's presentation of these measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies, which may be defined and calculated differently. See the appendix for a reconciliation of historical non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.

Reconciliation of full fiscal year 2025 adjusted EBITDA outlook to the comparable GAAP measure is not being provided, as Hayward does not currently have sufficient data to accurately estimate the variables and individual adjustments for such reconciliation. Adjusted EBITDA outlook for full year 2025 is calculated in a manner consistent with the historical presentation of this measure, as shown in the appendix.
