**Latham Group, Inc. Reports First Quarter 2026 Financial Results**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Year-Over-Year Sales Growth Achieved Across All Three Product Lines; Positive Sales Trends Continued in April** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Sand State Strategy on Track with Double-Digit Sales Growth in Florida** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Gross Margin Expanded by 220 Basis Points Benefiting from Volume Leverage, Lean Manufacturing and Value Engineering Efficiencies**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Reaffirms Full Year Guidance for 9.0% Net Sales Growth and 12.7% Adjusted EBITDA Growth at the Midpoints**

**First Quarter 2026 Financial Highlights:** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Net sales of $117.3 million, up 5.3%

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Net loss of $8.5 million / Net loss per diluted share of $0.07

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Adjusted EBITDA of $12.2 million / 10.4% of net sales

LATHAM, N.Y. – May 5, 2026 – Latham Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: SWIM), the largest designer, manufacturer, and marketer of in-ground residential swimming pools in North America, Australia, and New Zealand, today announced financial results for the first quarter 2026 ended March 28, 2026.

Commenting on the results, Sean Gadd, President and CEO, said, "We continue to execute effectively on our strategic priorities and achieved sales growth in each of our product lines in the first quarter. Sales growth was led by gains in autocovers and liners and the benefits of the Freedom Pools acquisition, while adverse weather conditions in North America kept organic in-ground pool sales steady year-over-year. Adjusted EBITDA growth outpaced sales growth by a considerable margin, demonstrating Latham's substantial operating leverage and cost discipline, which more than offset the impact of higher investments in growth initiatives.

"We continued to gain traction in Florida – our initial Sand State target market – where Latham's fiberglass pool sales increased at a double-digit rate in the first quarter. This growth reflected the new dealer sign-ups we executed in 2025 and increased brand and product awareness driven by our advertising and marketing campaign. To accelerate our growth in Florida and the other Sand State markets, we are moving forward with several new initiatives to capture consumer demand and provide additional value to our dealers. They include the build out of our commercial organization, a new market development framework around segmentation by neighborhood, and the addition of sales resources in the field to keep Latham engaged with the consumer throughout the pool purchasing process while linking customers to our dealer network. These initiatives will be supported by a targeted marketing campaign aimed at educating consumers on the benefits of fiberglass and pool ownership."

**First Quarter 2026 Results Compared to the Prior-Year Period**

------

![picture2.jpg](picture2.jpg)

Net sales increased 5.3% to $117.3 million. The increase in net sales during the quarter was primarily the result of organic growth in covers and liners, the acquisition of Freedom Pools, sales growth in Florida, and the full year benefit of the 2025 price increase partially offset by adverse weather conditions across North America.

**First Quarter Net Sales by Product Line**

|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Fiscal Quarter Ended** | **Fiscal Quarter Ended** |
| | **March 28, 2026** | **March 29, 2025** |

| **Liners** | 24086 | 22075 |
| **Total** | $117315 | $111420 |

---

Gross profit increased by 13.0% to $37.2 million. Gross margin expanded by 220 basis points to 31.7%. The increase reflected volume leverage and the benefits of lean manufacturing and value engineering initiatives.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses ("SG&A") increased by 19.5% to $36.6 million. The increase in SG&A was primarily due to acquisition and integration related costs, increased sales and marketing investment to accelerate the fiberglass conversion strategy in the Sand State markets, and our digital transformation efforts.

Net loss was $8.5 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, compared to $6.0 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, in the prior-year period. Net loss margin was 7.3% compared to 5.4%.

Adjusted EBITDA increased by 9.2% to $12.2 million, and adjusted EBITDA margin expanded by 40 basis points to 10.4%.

**Balance Sheet, Cash Flow, and Liquidity**

Latham ended the first quarter of 2026 with cash of $27.5 million. Net cash used in operating activities was $47.7 million, representing seasonal working capital requirements in line with the Company's expectations.

Total debt was $311.2 million at the end of the first quarter, and the net debt leverage ratio was 2.8.

Capital expenditures totaled $22.5 million in the first quarter of 2026, which includes $4.9 million related to ongoing projects and $17.6 million related to the purchase of four key fiberglass production sites – this consisted of a $5.6 million payment and a $12.0 million deposit made in 2025 and settled in the first quarter of 2026. This compares to $3.5 million in capital expenditures in the first quarter of 2025. In addition, the Company completed the purchase of Freedom Pools for a purchase price of $17.0 million.

**Summary and Outlook**

------

![picture2.jpg](picture2.jpg)

"Latham continues to be distinguished in the marketplace by our consistent outperformance compared to new U.S. pool starts. This track record is a result of our category leadership position, the quality of our products, our excellent execution, and the commitment of our people – all of which contribute to both our performance and our resilience.

"We are pleased to reaffirm our guidance, which is contained in the table below and represents year-over-year sales growth of 9.0% and adjusted EBITDA growth of 12.7%, at the midpoints, within a U.S. in-ground pool market that is expected to be approximately flat with 2025 levels," Mr. Gadd concluded.

**About Latham Group, Inc.**

Latham has a coast-to-coast operations platform consisting of approximately 1,900 employees on average across around 35 locations.

**Non-GAAP Financial Measures** 

We track our non-GAAP financial measures to monitor and manage our underlying financial performance. This earnings release includes the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, net debt and net debt leverage ratio which are non-GAAP financial measures that exclude the impact of certain costs, losses, and gains that are required to be included under U.S. GAAP. Although we believe these measures are useful to investors and analysts for the same reasons it is useful to management, as discussed below, these measures are neither a substitute for, nor superior to, GAAP financial measures or disclosures. Other companies may calculate similarly-titled non-GAAP measures differently, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures. In addition, our presentation of non-GAAP financial measures should not be construed to imply that our future results will be unaffected by any such adjustments. We have reconciled our historic non-GAAP financial measures to the applicable most comparable GAAP measures in this earnings release.

*Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin* 

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are key metrics used by management and our board of directors to assess our financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are also frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry, when considered alongside other GAAP measures. We use Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin to supplement GAAP measures of performance to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies, to make budgeting decisions, to utilize as a significant performance metric in our incentive compensation plans, and to compare our performance against that of other companies using similar measures. We have presented Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin solely as supplemental disclosures because we believe they allow for a more complete analysis of results of operations and assist investors and analysts in comparing our operating performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance, such as (i) depreciation and amortization, (ii) interest expense, net, (iii) income tax expense (benefit), (iv) (gain) loss on sale and disposal of property and equipment, (v) restructuring charges, (vi) stock-based compensation expense, (vii) unrealized (gains) losses on foreign currency transactions, (viii) strategic initiative costs, (ix) acquisition and integration related costs and (x) other.

------

![picture2.jpg](picture2.jpg)

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are non-GAAP financial measures and should not be considered as alternatives to net income (loss) as a measure of financial performance or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP, and they should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. We encourage you to evaluate these adjustments and the reasons we consider them appropriate for supplemental analysis. In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin, you should be mindful that in the future we may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments in this earnings release. There can be no assurance that we will not modify the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin in the future, and any such modification may be material. In addition, other companies, including companies in our industry, may not calculate Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin at all or may calculate Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin differently and accordingly, are not necessarily comparable to similarly entitled measures of other companies, which reduces the usefulness of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin as tools for comparison.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin have their limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• do not reflect every expenditure, future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• do not reflect changes in our working capital needs;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• do not reflect the interest expense, net, or the amounts necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our outstanding debt;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• do not reflect income tax (benefit) expense, and because the payment of taxes is part of our operations, tax expense is a necessary element of our costs and ability to operate;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• do not reflect non-cash stock-based compensation, which will remain a key element of our overall compensation package; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• do not reflect the impact of earnings or charges resulting from matters we consider not to be indicative of our ongoing operations.

Although depreciation and amortization are eliminated in the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin do not reflect any costs of such replacements.

*Net Debt and Net Debt Leverage Ratio* 

Net Debt and Net Debt Leverage Ratio are non-GAAP financial measures used in monitoring and evaluating our overall liquidity, financial flexibility, and leverage. Other companies may calculate similarly titled non-GAAP measures differently, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures. We define Net Debt as total debt less cash and cash equivalents. We

------

![picture2.jpg](picture2.jpg)

define the Net Debt Leverage Ratio as Net Debt divided by last twelve months ("LTM") of Adjusted EBITDA. We believe this measure is an important indicator of our ability to service our long-term debt obligations. There are material limitations to using Net Debt Leverage Ratio as we may not always be able to use cash to repay debt on a dollar-for-dollar basis.
