Recent Company History

The Q3 2025 earnings report showed double-digit revenue and adjusted EBITDA growth plus IPO-driven deleveraging to a 3.1x net leverage ratio. Today’s full year 2025 results extend that narrative with higher net revenues, record adjusted EBITDA margin and further leverage reduction to 2.8x, while also introducing 2026 guidance that emphasizes continued growth and margin expansion.

Analysis

The stock dropped -11.8% in the session following this news. A negative reaction despite broadly strong 2025 results and guidance would fit the pattern seen after the Q3 2025 earnings, when shares moved -4.91% on positive fundamentals. The report combines $1.7 billion in revenue, record 25.5% adjusted EBITDA margin, and a cut in net leverage to 2.8x, but also a 44% drop in Q4 net income due to IPO-related expenses. How the market balances growth, one-time items and prior expectations can drive short-term volatility.

Key Terms

adjusted ebitda, adjusted net income, net leverage, basis points, +4 more

8 terms

adjusted ebitda financial

"Full year Adjusted EBITDA of $436 million, up 14% versus prior year"

Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.

adjusted net income financial

"Adjusted net income increased 11% to $185 million versus the prior year"

Adjusted net income is a company's reported profit after removing unusual, one-time, or non-operational items so the number reflects the business’s regular earning power. Investors use it like a cleaned-up scorecard — similar to judging a player’s season performance without a few fluke games — to compare companies or assess trends without being misled by rare gains or losses that won’t affect future cash flow.

net leverage financial

"Net Leverage reduced by 2.2x to 2.8x in a single year"

Net leverage measures how many years it would take for a company to pay off its outstanding debt using its annual operating cash flow, after subtracting cash on hand from total debt. Think of it like a household’s mortgage balance minus savings divided by yearly income; a lower number means the company is in a safer position to handle debt, while a higher number signals greater financial risk and potential pressure on profits or growth.

basis points financial

"Gross margin expanded 100 basis points to 37.6%"

Basis points are a way to measure small changes in interest rates or percentages, where one basis point equals 0.01%. For example, if a loan's interest rate increases by 50 basis points, it's gone up by 0.50%. They help people understand tiny differences in rates that can add up over time, making financial comparisons clearer.

ipo financial

"one-time share based compensation expense associated with the Company's IPO"

An initial public offering (IPO) is the process by which a private company sells its shares to the public for the first time, making its ownership available on the stock market. This allows the company to raise money from a wide range of investors to fund growth or other goals. For investors, an IPO offers a chance to buy into a company early in its public journey, potentially benefiting if the company grows in value.

capex financial

"Capex (% of Revenue) | ~3%"

Capex, short for capital expenditures, refers to the money a company spends to buy, upgrade, or maintain physical assets such as buildings, equipment, or technology. It matters to investors because these investments can help a company grow and improve its long-term performance, but they also represent significant costs that can impact profitability and cash flow.

effective tax rate financial

"Effective Tax Rate | ~23.5%"

The effective tax rate is the percentage of a company's profits that it pays in taxes. It shows how much of its earnings go to taxes after all deductions and credits are considered. For investors, it indicates how much of the company's income is taken by taxes, impacting overall profitability and financial health.

diluted share count financial

"Diluted Share Count | ~205 million"

Diluted share count is the total number of company shares that would exist if every potential claim on equity — such as stock options, warrants, convertible debt or preferred shares — were converted into common stock. Investors use it to see the realistic per-share stake and earnings power, because it shows the “worst-case” share count and how much each existing share could be watered down, like counting all promised slices when deciding how big each person’s piece might become.

RIPON, Wis., March 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Alliance Laundry Systems (NYSE: ALH) ("Alliance" or the "Company"), the global leader in commercial laundry equipment, today announced results for its fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2025, and introduced its 2026 annual guidance.

"2025 was a landmark year for Alliance. Our full year and fourth quarter results demonstrated our ability to deliver very strong outcomes driven by our market leading position and commitment to operational excellence as we serve customers across this resilient, essential industry," said Michael Schoeb, CEO of Alliance Laundry. "We delivered our second consecutive year of double-digit growth on both the top and bottom line, significantly strengthened our balance sheet, and continued to invest in the innovation and market expansion that we believe will drive our next chapter of growth."

FULL YEAR 2025 CONSOLIDATED RESULTS

Net revenues increased 13% to $1.7 billion, compared to $1.5 billion in the prior year. The increase was driven by both strong volume performance and mid-single digit price increases. Growth was broad-based across both the North America and International reportable segments, with strong performance across the Vended, On-Premise Laundry, and Commercial-In-Home end markets. Full year net revenue growth was driven predominantly by volume, which contributed roughly 70% of the increase, with price realization accounting for the remainder, a mix that reflects the strength of underlying demand and the ongoing competitive differentiation of Alliance's total cost of ownership value proposition.

Gross profit increased 16% to $642 million, compared to $551 million in the prior year. Gross margin expanded 100 basis points to 37.6%, driven by cost-down initiatives, operational leverage, and disciplined pricing, with the Company's local-for-local manufacturing strategy providing structural tariff protection.

Net income increased 3% to $102 million, compared to $98 million in the prior year. Adjusted net income increased 11% to $185 million versus the prior year driven by higher earnings. Net income margin was 6.0% in the current year.

Adjusted EBITDA increased 14% to $436 million, compared to $383 million in the prior year, driven by volume gains, cost-down initiatives, and pricing actions that more than offset input cost increases. This improvement was achieved while maintaining disciplined operating cost management and continuing to invest strategically in innovation and public company infrastructure. Adjusted EBITDA margin expanded to a record 25.5%, demonstrating the Company's ability to drive profitable growth.

FOURTH QUARTER 2025 CONSOLIDATED RESULTS

Net revenues increased 10% to $435 million compared to $395 million in the prior year quarter. This result reinforces Alliance's pattern of durable, demand-driven growth and the resilience of its end-market positioning.

Gross profit  increased 16% to $161 million, or 37.0% of revenue, an increase of 190 basis points of margin expansion versus the prior year quarter. The improvement reflects the combined benefit of volume leverage and cost-down initiatives, with pricing actions largely offsetting the approximate $5 million tariff impact in the quarter.

Net income decreased 44% to $21 million compared to $37 million in the prior year quarter, primarily due to a one-time share based compensation expense associated with the Company's IPO, partially offset by significantly lower interest expense following debt reduction actions.  Adjusted Net Income increased 18% to $49 million versus $41 million in the prior year quarter, reflecting strong operating performance including significantly lower interest expense.

Adjusted EBITDA increased 17% to $107 million, or 24.5% of revenue, an increase of 140 basis points versus the prior year quarter. Revenue grew 10% while Adjusted EBITDA grew 17% over the prior year quarter, demonstrating the operating leverage inherent in Alliance's business model and its continuing focus on driving profitable growth.

FULL YEAR  2025 RESULTS BY REPORTABLE SEGMENT

North America revenue increased 14% to $1.3 billion, compared to $1.1 billion in the prior year, with double-digit growth across the Vended and Commercial-in-Home end markets and high single digit growth in the On-Premise market. Equipment revenue increased 15% year over year, driven by particularly strong performance in the Vended and Commercial-In-Home end markets. North America Adjusted EBITDA increased 14% to $361 million, compared to $318 million in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 28.5%. The Company's local-for-local manufacturing strategy provided significant structural protection from tariffs, with approximately $12 million in cost increase largely offset on both a dollar and margin basis through pricing actions.

International revenue increased 10% to $440 million, compared to $399 million in the prior year driven by strong performance in Europe and Asia Pacific, where expanding Vended end markets are driving growth. International Adjusted EBITDA increased 17% to $121 million, compared to $103 million in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA margin expanded 160 basis points to 27.4%, driven by Speed Queen licensed stores in Europe, first-mover advantage in nascent vended markets across Asia and Latin America, and continued focus on profitable growth across all regions.

FOURTH QUARTER 2025 RESULTS BY REPORTABLE SEGMENT

North America revenue increased 9% to $317 million in the fourth quarter, with Adjusted EBITDA growing 15% to $88 million, and margin expanding to 27.9%. Growth was broad-based across all end markets, with pricing actions largely offsetting modest tariff impacts and margin expansion driven by cost-down initiatives and strong incremental margins on volume growth.

International revenue increased 12% to $118 million, with Adjusted EBITDA growing 25% to $29 million, and margin expanding 260 basis points to 24.8%. Revenue growth was driven by particularly strong performance in Europe, underpinned by the continued success of Speed Queen Licensed Stores, and solid demand across Asia Pacific markets.

CASH FLOW AND BALANCE SHEET

Operating cash flow for the year increased 46% to $212 million, versus $145 million in 2024. This robust cash generation reflects the Company's business model, effective working capital management, and strong earnings growth.

The Company significantly strengthened its balance sheet in 2025, reducing Net Leverage from 5.0x to 2.8x, a reduction of 2.2x in a single year. Debt declined to $1.4 billion from $2.1 billion at the start of the year, with cash of $123 million resulting in Net Debt of $1.2 billion at year end. Approximately one full turn of that deleveraging was funded entirely by cash generated from operations, with the balance driven by proceeds from the October 2025 IPO. This demonstrates the Company's strong free cash flow generation capability and its ability to delever independent of capital markets activity.

Capital expenditures were $54 million as the Company invested across its global manufacturing facilities. This represents approximately 3% of revenue, directed at capacity expansion, automation, new product development, plus expanded testing capabilities in Thailand and the Czech Republic.

• North America demand for commercial-grade product in the home accelerated meaningfully, with Commercial-In-Home revenue growing over 20%

2026 FULL YEAR GUIDANCE

The Company's outlook includes Adjusted EBITDA and Net Leverage, which are non-GAAP measures. The Company does not provide certain estimated future results for Adjusted EBITDA and Net Leverage on a GAAP basis because the Company is unable to predict, with reasonable certainty, certain items that are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA, including but not limited to restructuring and acquisition-related charges, non-cash asset impairment charges and gains or losses from dispositions and foreign exchange gains/losses on intercompany loans. These items are uncertain and will depend on several factors, including industry conditions, and could be material to the Company's results computed in accordance with GAAP. The Company has not provided reconciliations between the Company's 2026 guidance and the most directly comparable GAAP measures because it would be too difficult to prepare a reliable U.S. GAAP quantitative reconciliation without unreasonable effort.

The Company is introducing its first full-year annual guidance. In 2026, Alliance expects:

	2026 Guidance
Revenue Growth	+5% to 7%
Adjusted EBITDA Growth	+6% to 8%
Net Leverage	Low 2x by end of year
Capex (% of Revenue)	~3%
Effective Tax Rate	~23.5%
Interest Expense	~$85 million
Diluted Share Count	~205 million

CONFERENCE CALL INFORMATION

Alliance will host a conference call to discuss these results at 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time today, March 12, 2026.

To listen to the conference call, a live audio webcast will be available on Alliance's Investor Relations website at https://ir.alliancelaundry.com/news-events/ir-calendar. A replay of the webcast will be available after the call.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

We regularly review non-GAAP measures to evaluate our business, measure our performance and manage our operations, including identifying trends affecting our business, formulating business plans and making strategic decisions. We believe that non-GAAP measures provide an additional way of viewing aspects of our operations that, when viewed together with our GAAP results, provide a more complete understanding of our results of operations and the factors and trends affecting our business. These non-GAAP financial measures are also used by our management to evaluate financial results and to plan and forecast future periods. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered a supplement to, and not a substitute for, or superior to, the corresponding measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures used by us may differ from the non-GAAP measures used by other companies, including our competitors.

"Adjusted EBITDA" represents Net income before provision for income taxes, interest expense, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is also adjusted for items that management excluded in analyzing the segments' operating performance, such as refinancing and debt related costs, share-based compensation, strategic transaction costs, foreign exchange on intercompany loans and other non-recurring items which management believes are not indicative of the Company's ongoing operating performance. "Adjusted EBITDA Margin" represents Adjusted EBITDA divided by Net revenues.

"Adjusted Net Income" represents Net income adjusted to exclude certain expenses not representative of our ongoing operations and other charges. These adjustments include, but are not limited to, refinancing and debt related costs, share-based compensation, strategic transaction costs, intangible amortization, foreign exchange on intercompany loans and other non-recurring items.

"Net Debt" represents our total debt less Cash and cash equivalents.

"Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA" or "Net Leverage" represents total debt less Cash and cash equivalents divided by Adjusted EBITDA for the relevant period.

SEGMENT INFORMATION

Our business is organized into two reportable segments, North America and International. The Company uses Segment net revenues, Segment Adjusted EBITDA and Segment Adjusted EBITDA Margin as its measures of performance. The Company allocates certain costs including manufacturing variances, customer support expenses and selling and general expenses which are incurred in our global operations to the reportable segments in determining Segment Adjusted EBITDA.

We define "Segment Adjusted EBITDA" as, on a segment basis, net income excluding interest income/expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Segment Adjusted EBITDA is also adjusted for the discrete items that management excluded in analyzing the segments' operating performance, such as refinancing and debt related costs, share-based compensation, strategic transaction costs, foreign exchange on intercompany loans and other non-recurring items which management believes are not indicative of the Company's ongoing operating performance.  Segment Adjusted EBITDA is a measure of operating performance of our reportable segments and may not be comparable to similar measures reported by other companies.
