**ADVANCED DRAINAGE SYSTEMS ANNOUNCES THIRD QUARTER** 

**FISCAL 2026 RESULTS, INCREASES STOCK REPURCHASE AUTHORIZATION**

HILLIARD, Ohio – (February 5, 2026) – Advanced Drainage Systems, Inc. (NYSE: WMS) ("ADS" or the "Company"), a leading provider of innovative water management solutions in the stormwater and onsite wastewater industries today announced financial results for the fiscal third quarter ended December 31, 2025.

**<u>Third Quarter Fiscal 2026 Results</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**• Net sales increased $2.8 million or 0.4% to $693.4 million** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**• Net income increased $11.7 million or 14.3% to $94.0 million**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**• Net income per diluted share increased $0.15 or 14.4% to $1.19**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**• Adjusted EBITDA (Non-GAAP) increased $17.7 million or 9.3% to $209.2 million** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**• Adjusted Earnings per share (Non-GAAP) increased $0.18 or 16.5% to $1.27** 

**<u>Year-to-Date Fiscal 2026 Results</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**• Net sales increased $85.1 million or 3.7% to $2.4 billion**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**• Net income increased $18.8 million or 5.0% to $394.6 million**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**• Net income per diluted share increased $0.25 or 5.2% to $5.02**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**• Adjusted EBITDA (Non-GAAP) increased $62.4 million or 8.8% to $774.9 million**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**• Adjusted Earnings per share (Non-GAAP) increased $0.34 or 7.0% to $5.20** 

Scott Barbour, President and Chief Executive Officer of ADS commented, "We delivered our third consecutive strong quarter in a demand environment that is both challenging and mixed by geography. The Infiltrator business and Allied products portfolio grew significantly above-market as we continue to introduce new products, distribution and customer programs. Notably, profitability increased across all facets of the business, including pipe, Allied products and the Infiltrator business. We continue to strategically shift our portfolio mix towards higher margin products, which strengthens the resiliency of our business. This mix shift, in conjunction with favorable price/cost dynamics, resulted in an Adjusted EBITDA margin of 30.2% for the quarter."

"Earlier this week, we closed the acquisition of NDS, a leading U.S. supplier of residential stormwater and irrigation products. NDS' products are highly complementary to ADS' stormwater capture portfolio and enhance our offering in both the distribution and retail channels. The combination of Advanced Drainage Systems, Infiltrator, and NDS furthers our leading, diversified brand platform in stormwater and onsite wastewater. Given the business' strong cash generation and effective capital management strategy, we were able to complete the acquisition primarily using cash on hand."

"Today, we updated our Fiscal 2026 guidance to reflect the strong year-to-date performance as well as the inclusion of NDS results for the two months remaining in the fiscal year. The end market outlook for the remainder of Fiscal 2026 reflects a challenging macroeconomic environment and mixed end market demand. We also announced a new $1 billion stock repurchase authorization, bringing our total authorization to $1.148 billion, reflecting our ongoing commitment to returning capital to shareholders in the context of our overall capital allocation strategy."

Barbour concluded, "We are well positioned to continue executing on the 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."

**<u>Third Quarter Fiscal 2026 Results</u>**

Net sales increased $2.8 million, or 0.4%, to $693.4 million, as compared to $690.5 million in the prior year quarter. Domestic pipe sales decreased $12.9 million, or 3.8%, to $326.7 million. Domestic allied products & other sales increased $14.1 million, or 9.4%, to $164.7 million. Infiltrator sales increased $2.9 million, or 1.9%, to $152.9 million, primarily due to growth in tanks and advanced treatment products. The overall increase in domestic net sales was primarily driven by growth in the Company's core non-residential construction end market. International sales decreased $1.3 million, or 2.5%, to $49.1 million.

Gross profit increased $17.6 million, or 7.3%, to $259.2 million as compared to $241.6 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.

------

As a percentage of sales, selling, general and administrative expense was 15.7% as compared to 14.6% in the prior year. The increase was primarily driven by transaction costs associated with the acquisition of National Diversified Sales ("NDS"), as described below.

Net income per diluted share increased $0.15, or 14.4%, to $1.19, as compared to $1.04 per share in the prior year quarter, primarily due to the factors mentioned above.

Gross profit increased $61.7 million, or 7.1%, to $929.7 million as compared to $868.0 million 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.
