Latham Group, Inc. Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2024 Financial Results and Provides 2025 Guidance
Rhea-AI Summary
Latham Group (NASDAQ: SWIM) reported its Q4 and full year 2024 financial results, demonstrating market outperformance despite challenging conditions. The company's in-ground pool sales exceeded the U.S. pool market performance, with fiberglass pools representing 75% of sales, up from 73% in 2023.

Latham's 2024 performance reveals a company executing effectively on long-term strategic positioning despite cyclical headwinds. The fiberglass pool segment outperformance demonstrates successful category leadership in a pivotal industry transition from traditional concrete pools to more cost-effective, eco-friendly alternatives.
The continued market share gains in fiberglass pools deserve particular attention as they reflect both consumer preference shifts and Latham's execution in capitalizing on this trend. Fiberglass installations offer faster completion times and lower lifetime maintenance costs - advantages particularly valuable in the current constrained consumer spending environment.
The Coverstar Central acquisition and subsequent smaller dealer acquisitions in the automatic safety cover segment represent intelligent vertical integration in a high-margin, growing product category that benefits from both safety regulations and energy-saving trends. This diversification into the safety cover segment also provides valuable revenue stability through replacement market access.

While the net loss and foreign deferred tax asset valuation allowance warrant monitoring, the fundamental operational improvements and strategic positioning appear sound. The company's ability to expand margins while simultaneously investing in growth initiatives during a market trough demonstrates operational discipline that should translate to significant operating leverage when the pool construction market eventually recovers.

LATHAM, N.Y., March 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 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 fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2024.
Commenting on the results, Scott Rajeski, President and CEO, said, “This was a year of substantial achievement for Latham Group. Our in-ground pool sales continued to outperform the U.S. in-ground pool market, we succeeded in expanding margins despite lower utilization, and we made investments that have positioned the Company for sales growth and increased profitability in 2025 and beyond.
“Latham’s leadership position in fiberglass pools was a key driver of our pool market outperformance against U.S. in-ground pool starts which were down approximately
“A key highlight of 2024 was our ability to drive margin expansion on lower year-on-year sales. Gross margin expanded by over 300 basis points led by our lean manufacturing and value engineering initiatives together with supplier diversification initiatives and overall improved procurement activity that are expected to enable further margin expansion in 2025 and beyond. Adjusted EBITDA margin expanded by 30 basis points as higher gross margin more than offset increased spending on growth projects, including the build-out of our market position in the Sand States.
“Latham ended 2024 in a strong financial position. Operating cash flow exceeded

Summary and Outlook
“Latham has entered 2025 in a strong competitive position, with leadership in the growing fiberglass pool category and greater representation and market presence in the Sand States, which account for approximately two-thirds of new U.S. pool starts annually. Additionally, we have considerable opportunities to expand the adoption of automatic safety covers. We further strengthened our position in this growing category by recently acquiring two of our smaller autocover dealers. These factors support our confidence in our ability to continue to outperform the U.S in-ground pool market.
“Industry conditions heading into this year are slightly more favorable than one year ago, but we believe trough market conditions are likely to continue through much of 2025. Therefore, we are managing to new U.S. pool starts in 2025 that approximate 2024 levels, but we have the ability to quickly and efficiently ramp-up to capture any increase in market demand.

About Latham Group, Inc.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We track our non-GAAP financial measures to monitor and manage our underlying financial performance. This news release includes the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, net debt and net debt leverage ratio, on a historical and pro forma basis, which are non-GAAP financial measures that exclude the impact of certain costs, losses, and gains that are required to be included under GAAP. Our pro forma presentation gives effect to the Coverstar Central acquisition as if it occurred as of January 1, 2023. 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, U.S. 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 news 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) loss (gain) 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, (x) Odessa fire and other such unusual events and (xi) other.
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. You are encouraged 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 aware that in the future we may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments in this news 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 you should not consider them 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:
- do not reflect every expenditure, future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
- do not reflect changes in our working capital needs;
- do not reflect the interest expense, net, or the amounts necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our outstanding debt;
- do not reflect income tax expense (benefit), and because the payment of taxes is part of our operations, tax expense is a necessary element of our costs and ability to operate;
- do not reflect non-cash stock-based compensation, which will remain a key element of our overall compensation package; and
- 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 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.
