How this balance works

Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.

It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.

Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.

gaap financial

"accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”)"

GAAP, or Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, are a set of standardized rules and guidelines that companies follow when preparing their financial statements. They ensure consistency, transparency, and comparability across different companies, making it easier for investors to understand and compare financial information accurately. This helps investors make informed decisions based on trustworthy and uniform financial reports.

View in glossary

non-gaap financial

"These non-GAAP measures have limitations as analytical tools"

Non-GAAP refers to financial measures that companies use to show their earnings or performance without including certain expenses or income that are often added back to give a different picture. It matters because it can make a company's results look better or more favorable, but it may also hide important costs, so investors need to look at both GAAP (official rules) and non-GAAP numbers to get a full understanding.

“We delivered record profitability to close fiscal 2026 with our fourth quarter adjusted EBITDA increasing 4.0% year-over-year and adjusted EBITDA margin expanding to 25.4%. These results capped another record year for the Company, as we expanded adjusted EBITDA margin by 240 basis points this year and 940 basis points over three years, achieved record net sales with 3.2% year-over-year growth, despite slower new residential construction activity, increased adjusted earnings per share by approximately 20% and generated more than $200 million in free cash flow. That combination of sales growth, stronger profitability and outstanding cash generation underscores the quality of our execution, the stability of our business and the dedication of our employees,” said Paul McAndrew, President and Chief Executive Officer of Mueller Water Products.

“What stands out the most to me is how our teams delivered these results while continuing to improve the way we work. Across Mueller, employees stayed close to our customers, managed through changing demands in uncertain times and continued to make and capitalize on important investments in our foundries and manufacturing network. We are building a more streamlined and accountable organization through portfolio optimization, and the Mueller Operating System, which is giving our people a common framework to solve problems, share best practices and raise performance.”

“Our priorities for fiscal year 2027 are straightforward. We will protect the strength of our core business, improve returns from our operations and invest where we see the best opportunities to create value. Municipal repair and replacement demand remains resilient, and our balance sheet provides capacity to invest as we pursue strategies to drive above-market sales growth and continue margin expansion. While we remain mindful of market uncertainty, we enter the year with a clear agenda and confidence in our ability to deliver another step forward in margin performance,” Mr. McAndrew concluded.

Consolidated Results

Net sales for the 2026 fourth quarter decreased $4.3 million, or 1.1%, to $376.5 million as compared with $380.8 million in the prior year quarter, primarily due to lower volumes, partially offset by higher pricing across most product lines.

Gross profit for the fourth quarter decreased $0.7 million, or 0.5%, to $139.3 million as compared with $140.0 million in the prior year quarter. Gross margin increased 20 basis points to 37.0% as compared with 36.8% in the prior year quarter, primarily due to higher pricing and manufacturing performance, partially offset by inflationary pressures, lower volumes, product mix and tariffs, and $0.6 million of Decatur legacy brass foundry closure costs.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the fourth quarter decreased $9.4 million, or 14.1%, to $57.3 million as compared with $66.7 million in the prior year quarter, primarily due to lower incentive-based compensation, favorable personnel-related costs and reduced foreign currency headwinds, partially offset by inflationary pressures.

Operating income for the fourth quarter increased $3.5 million, or 5.0%, to $73.1 million as compared with $69.6 million in the prior year quarter. This increase was primarily driven by higher pricing, lower SG&A expenses and manufacturing performance, partially offset by strategic reorganization and other charges, inflationary pressures, lower volumes, product mix and tariffs. Operating margin increased to 19.4% as compared with 18.3% in the prior year quarter.

During the quarter, the Company incurred $8.9 million of strategic reorganization and other charges, primarily related to the closure of our legacy brass foundry in Decatur, Illinois, and severance. Strategic reorganization and other charges and the Decatur legacy brass foundry closure costs in gross profit have been excluded from adjusted results.

Adjusted operating income for the quarter increased $3.7 million, or 4.7%, to $82.6 million as compared with $78.9 million in the prior year quarter. Adjusted operating margin improved to 21.9% as compared with 20.7% in the prior year quarter.

Net income decreased $0.3 million, or 0.6%, to $52.3 million as compared with $52.6 million in the prior year quarter. Net income margin improved to 13.9% as compared with 13.8% in the prior year quarter. Adjusted net income decreased $0.5 million, or 0.8%, to $59.2 million as compared with $59.7 million in the prior year quarter.

Adjusted EBITDA of $95.5 million increased $3.7 million, or 4.0%, as compared with $91.8 million in the prior year quarter, and adjusted EBITDA margin improved to 25.4% as compared with 24.1% in the prior year quarter.

Segment Results

Water Flow Solutions

Net sales for the 2026 fourth quarter decreased $6.6 million, or 3.0%, to $210.9 million as compared with $217.5 million in the prior year quarter, primarily due to lower volumes, partially offset by higher pricing across most product lines.

Operating income was $58.8 million and adjusted operating income was $59.4 million for the quarter. Adjusted operating income increased $4.3 million, or 7.8%, compared with the prior year quarter. Benefits from manufacturing performance, higher pricing and lower SG&A expenses more than offset lower volumes, product mix, inflationary pressures and tariffs. Operating margin was 27.9% and adjusted operating margin was 28.2% as compared with 25.3% for both operating and adjusted operating margins in the prior year quarter.

Adjusted EBITDA of $67.1 million increased $4.4 million, or 7.0%, as compared with $62.7 million in the prior year quarter. Adjusted EBITDA margin improved to 31.8% as compared with 28.8% in the prior year quarter.

Water Management Solutions

Net sales for the 2026 fourth quarter increased $2.3 million, or 1.4%, to $165.6 million, as compared with $163.3 million in the prior year quarter, primarily due to higher pricing across most product lines, partially offset by lower volumes.

Operating income was $35.6 million and adjusted operating income was $36.0 million for the quarter. Adjusted operating income decreased $3.8 million, or 9.5%, compared with the prior year quarter. Lower volumes, tariffs and inflationary pressures were partially offset by benefits from higher pricing and lower SG&A expenses, including reduced foreign currency headwinds. Operating margin and adjusted operating margin were 21.5% and 21.7%, respectively, as compared with the prior year quarter operating margin of 20.9% and adjusted operating margin of 24.4%.

Adjusted EBITDA of $41.2 million decreased $3.8 million, or 8.4%, as compared with $45.0 million in the prior year quarter. Adjusted EBITDA margin decreased to 24.9% as compared with 27.6% in the prior year quarter.

Interest Expense, Net

Interest expense, net, for the 2026 fourth quarter and fiscal year decreased to $0.5 million and $3.8 million, respectively, as compared with $1.0 million and $6.6 million in the prior year periods, respectively, primarily as a result of higher interest income.

Income Taxes

For the 2026 fourth quarter, income tax expense was $20.3 million, or 28.0% of income before tax, as compared with $16.1 million in the prior year quarter, or 23.4% of income before tax. For the fiscal year, income tax expense was $65.0 million, or 22.7% of income before tax, as compared with $62.5 million in the prior year, or 24.6% of income before tax. The lower effective tax rate for the fiscal year compared with the prior year was primarily due to a one-time tax benefit resulting from the recognition of a loss on a foreign subsidiary investment.

Cash Flow and Balance Sheet

Net cash provided by operating activities for the 2026 fiscal year increased $43.6 million, or 19.9%, to $262.9 million, as compared with $219.3 million in the prior year. The increase was primarily driven by higher net income and lower cash taxes compared with the prior year, partially offset by changes in working capital.

During the fiscal year, the Company invested $55.6 million in capital expenditures as compared with $47.3 million in the prior year, primarily driven by investments in our iron foundries.

Free cash flow (defined as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures) for the fiscal year increased $35.3 million, or 20.5%, to $207.3 million, as compared with $172.0 million in the prior year, due to the increase in net cash provided by operating activities partially offset by higher capital expenditures.

As of September 30, 2026, Mueller Water Products had $453.8 million of total debt outstanding and $566.0 million of cash and cash equivalents. We did not have any borrowings under our ABL Agreement at the end of the year, nor did we borrow any amounts under our ABL during the year. There are no maturities on the Company’s debt financings until June 2029, and our 4.0% Senior Notes have no financial maintenance covenants. At the end of the quarter, the Company had $730.7 million of total liquidity, including $164.7 million in availability under the ABL.

Return of Capital to Shareholders

On October 22, 2026, the Company announced that its Board of Directors approved a $300.0 million increase to the Company’s common stock repurchase authorization, bringing the total authorization to $334.5 million. Repurchases may be made from time to time through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or other means in accordance with applicable securities laws. The timing and amount of any repurchases will depend on market conditions and other factors, and the program may be suspended or discontinued at any time.

The Board also declared a quarterly dividend of $0.08 per share, a 14.3% increase compared with the prior quarterly dividend of $0.07 per share. The dividend is payable on November 19, 2026, to stockholders of record at the close of business on November 9, 2026.

During fiscal 2026, the Company returned $74.3 million to shareholders, including $43.8 million in dividends and $30.5 million in common stock repurchases.

Portfolio Optimization to Transition Metering Business

In a separate press release issued today, Mueller Water Products announced that it has entered into an agreement to transition its metering business, which operates via its Mueller Systems subsidiary, to ZENNER USA, part of the Minol-ZENNER Group, a leading global manufacturer and distributor of water meters, heat and cooling energy meters, gas meters, submetering and digital solutions for remote reading. The Company’s press release can be found on the Company’s investor relations website at www.muellerwaterproducts.com.

Fiscal 2027 Outlook

The Company is introducing fiscal 2027 consolidated net sales guidance of $1,440 million to $1,470 million. This guidance excludes all metering-related financial results. In fiscal 2026, the metering-related net sales were approximately $40 million. The Company anticipates its fiscal 2027 adjusted EBITDA to be between $378 million and $388 million. At the midpoint of the guidance range, the Company expects to achieve an adjusted EBITDA margin of 26.3% for the year, reflecting a 110 basis point year-over-year improvement. The Company anticipates the second half of fiscal 2027 adjusted EBITDA margin will be higher than the first half, driven primarily by the seasonality of net sales, benefits from portfolio optimization and operational improvements. The Company expects free cash flow as a percentage of adjusted net income to be more than 80% in fiscal 2027.

The Company’s expectations for certain additional financial metrics for fiscal 2027 are as follows:

• Total SG&A expenses between $228 million and $233 million
• Net interest expense between $3 million and $5 million
• Effective income tax rate between 24% and 26%
• Depreciation and amortization between $48 million and $52 million
• Capital expenditures between $60 million and $70 million

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

In an effort to provide investors with additional information regarding the Company’s results as determined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), the Company also provides non-GAAP information that management believes is useful to investors. These non-GAAP measures have limitations as analytical tools, and securities analysts, investors and other interested parties should not consider any of these non-GAAP measures in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s results as reported under GAAP. These non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

Adjusted net income, adjusted net income per diluted share, adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin are non-GAAP measures that the Company presents as performance measures because management uses these measures to evaluate the Company’s underlying performance on a consistent basis across periods and to make decisions about operational strategies. Management also believes these measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of the Company’s recurring performance.

Free cash flow is a non-GAAP liquidity measure used to assist management and investors in analyzing the Company’s ability to generate liquidity from its operating activities.

The Company regularly evaluates its portfolio of businesses and product lines as part of its strategic planning process and may incur costs associated with portfolio optimization initiatives, including, but not limited to, transaction-related expenses, restructuring costs, and other costs related to acquisitions, divestitures, or other strategic actions.

The calculations of these non-GAAP measures and reconciliations to GAAP results are included as an attachment to this press release, which has been posted online at www.muellerwaterproducts.com. The Company does not reconcile forward-looking non-GAAP measures to the comparable GAAP measures, as permitted by Regulation S-K, as certain items, e.g., expenses related to corporate development activities, transactions, pension expenses/(benefits), corporate restructuring and non-cash asset impairment, may have not yet occurred, are out of the Company’s control or cannot be reasonably predicted without unreasonable efforts. Additionally, such reconciliation would imply a degree of precision and certainty regarding relevant items that may be confusing to investors. Such items could have a substantial impact on GAAP measures of the Company's financial performance.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains certain statements that may be deemed “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws.
