Alliance Laundry (NYSE: ALH) lifts 2026 guidance after strong Q1 growth and deleveraging

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Alliance Laundry Holdings Inc. reported strong first quarter 2026 results and raised its full-year outlook. Net revenues rose 10% to $426.9 million, driven by broad-based volume growth, pricing actions, and modest foreign exchange tailwinds. Net income increased to $56.9 million from $17.2 million, lifting net income margin to 13.3%.

Adjusted EBITDA grew 9% to $109.0 million with a 25.5% margin, while Adjusted Net Income rose to $63.3 million from $34.3 million. Operating cash flow climbed 76% to $79.9 million, supporting $65 million of debt repayment and reducing Net Leverage to 2.6x.

Management raised the low end of 2026 guidance, now expecting revenue growth of 6% to 7% and Adjusted EBITDA growth of 7% to 8%. Segment performance was solid in both North America and International, and the company highlighted ongoing benefits from its local-for-local manufacturing strategy and growing base of connected equipment.

Insights

Equity research analyst

Alliance posted strong Q1 growth, higher earnings, and modest deleveraging, prompting a guidance raise.

Alliance Laundry delivered 10% net revenue growth to $426.9M and expanded net income to $56.9M, largely from improved operating earnings and sharply lower interest expense. Adjusted EBITDA increased 9% to $109.0M with a stable 25.5% margin, signaling healthy operating performance.

Cash generation was notable, with operating cash flow up 76% to $79.9M. That allowed repayment of $65M of debt, bringing Net Debt to $1.17B and Net Leverage down to 2.6x. Segment results showed high- single-digit to low-double-digit revenue and Adjusted EBITDA growth in both North America and International.

On the back of this start, management raised the low end of its 2026 outlook to +6%–7% revenue growth and +7%–8% Adjusted EBITDA growth, while reaffirming a target to reduce Net Leverage into the low‑2x range by year end 2026. Future quarterly filings will show whether volume, pricing, and tariff management continue to support this trajectory.

6 terms

Adjusted EBITDA financial

"First quarter Adjusted EBITDA of $109 million, up 9% versus prior year, with Adjusted EBITDA Margin of 25.5%."

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 84.9% to $63 million versus $34 million in the prior year quarter."

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 improved to 2.6x, a reduction of 0.2 turns from year end."

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.

local-for-local manufacturing other

"Our local-for-local manufacturing strategy continues to be a real competitive advantage in the current tariff environment."

Segment Adjusted EBITDA financial

"The Company uses Segment net revenues, Segment Adjusted EBITDA and Segment Adjusted EBITDA Margin as its measures of performance."

Segment adjusted EBITDA is a measure of how much profit a specific part of a company generates from its everyday operations, before counting interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and one‑off items. Investors use it like checking the fuel efficiency of one car in a fleet: it helps compare which business lines truly earn money, evaluate trend performance, and decide where to invest or cut costs without distortions from financing or accounting choices.

forward-looking statements regulatory

"This press release includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995."

Forward-looking statements are predictions or plans that companies share about what they expect to happen in the future, like estimating sales or profits. They matter because they help investors understand a company's outlook, but since they are based on guesses and assumptions, they can sometimes be wrong.

___________________________________________________________________

RIPON, Wis., May 12, 2026/PRNewswire/ – Alliance Laundry Holdings Inc. (NYSE: ALH)

(“Alliance” or the “Company”), the global leader in commercial laundry equipment, today announced

results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2026, and raised the low end of its full year 2026 guidance.

“Building on Alliance’s strong 2025, our first quarter reinforced what we’ve been talking about since

becoming a public company: that a resilient, replacement-driven, essential industry, a market-leading

position, and disciplined operational excellence deliver strong, sustainable outcomes,” said Michael

Schoeb, CEO of Alliance. “Net revenues grew 10% with broad-based growth across all end markets

and geographies, Adjusted EBITDA grew 9%, and Adjusted Net Income nearly doubled year over

year. Our local-for-local manufacturing strategy continues to be a real competitive advantage in the

current tariff environment, and we remain on track for our full year deleveraging target. The strength

of our Q1 performance and growing visibility to the balance of the year give us confidence to raise the

low end of our full year net revenue and Adjusted EBITDA guidance today.”

FIRST QUARTER 2026 CONSOLIDATED RESULTS

Net revenues increased 10% to $427 million compared to $390 million in the prior year quarter.

Volume contributed approximately three percent, consistent with the Company’s full year outlook,

with the balance driven by pricing actions and approximately one percent from foreign exchange.

Growth was broad-based across all end markets in both the North America and International segments,

reflecting the resilience and non-discretionary nature of commercial laundry demand.

Gross profit increased 8% to $157 million, representing a gross margin of 36.8%. On tariffs, pricing

actions already in place continue to offset the Company’s approximately $20 million annualized

exposure, with the domestic local-for-local manufacturing footprint providing a meaningful structural

advantage.

Net income was $57 million compared to $17 million in the prior year quarter, with Net income

margin of 13.3%. The year-over-year change reflects the growth in operating earnings plus

significantly lower interest expense following debt reduction actions over the past twelve months.

Adjusted EBITDA increased 9% to $109 million, with Adjusted EBITDA Margin of 25.5%. Margin

expansion from volume leverage, operational excellence, and supply chain efficiency was partially

offset by incremental public company costs.

Adjusted Net Income increased 84.9% to $63 million versus $34 million in the prior year quarter,

reflecting strong operating performance and the meaningful benefit of significantly lower interest

expense as debt reduction over the past twelve months continues to flow through the income

statement.

CASH FLOW AND BALANCE SHEET

Operating cash flow for the quarter was $80 million, up 76% vs. prior year, reflecting strong operating

cash conversion and continued working capital discipline, consistent with the Company’s historical

performance. The Company paid down $65 million in debt during the first quarter, ending the period

with total debt of $1.3 billion and net debt of $1.2 billion. As a result, Net Leverage improved to 2.6x,

a reduction of 0.2 turns from year end.

FIRST QUARTER 2026 RESULTS BY REPORTABLE SEGMENT

North America revenue increased 9% to $320 million, with Adjusted EBITDA up 8% to $87 million

and Adjusted EBITDA Margin of 27.2%. Growth was broad-based across all end markets. On-Premise

delivered solid results driven by predictable replacement demand, and Commercial-in-Home

continued to outpace the broader industry. Pricing actions already in place continue to offset the

approximately $20 million annualized tariff exposure, with the Company’s domestic manufacturing

footprint providing structural protection.

International revenue increased 10% to $107 million, with Adjusted EBITDA up 13% to $33 million

and Adjusted EBITDA Margin of 30.4%. Europe delivered strong performance across all end markets,

with the total cost of ownership value proposition resonating with an operator base actively investing

in replacements and energy efficiency. Asia Pacific continued to see strong growth, particularly in

nascent vended markets. The Middle East & Africa region, which makes up roughly 2% of global

revenue, consistent with its historical size, grew in the quarter despite regional headwinds.

FIRST QUARTER 2026 BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS

Digital and Connected Equipment — Alliance’s connected equipment continues to grow, with over

250,000 connected machines at the end of the quarter. Scan/Pay/Wash, the Company’s recently

launched cashless payment solution requiring no app download, processed over 100,000 transactions

in March alone, with double the volume in the first quarter of 2026 vs. the fourth quarter of 2025.

Distributor Acquisition — The Company completed its second distributor acquisition in New York

during the first quarter, its 17th U.S. acquisition since 2019. This tuck-in acquisition brings the Speed

Queen®, UniMac® and Huebsch® brands together under a single team in one of the most vibrant

commercial laundry markets in the country.

Tariff Environment — The Company’s local-for-local manufacturing strategy continues to provide a

meaningful structural advantage relative to competitors with more import-dependent supply chains.

Pricing actions in place continue to offset the Company’s approximately $20 million annualized tariff

exposure, and the Company is well-equipped to manage potential new developments in the trade

environment.

UPDATED 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.

Based on the strength of first quarter performance and growing visibility to the balance of 2026, the

Company is raising the low end of its full year revenue and Adjusted EBITDA guidance for 2026.

Revenue growth guidance has been raised to +6% to 7%, from the prior range of +5% to 7%, with

equal contribution expected from volume and price. Adjusted EBITDA growth guidance has been

raised to +7% to 8%, from the prior range of +6% to 8%, as the Company realizes price and volume

increases alongside continued cost-down initiatives. All other guidance assumptions remain

unchanged. The Company reaffirms its expectation to reduce Net Leverage by approximately three

quarters of a turn in 2026, bringing Net Leverage to the low 2x range by year end.

	2026 Guidance	Previous
Revenue Growth	+6% to 7%	+5% to 7%
Adjusted EBITDA Growth	+7% to 8%	+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, May 12,

2026.

A live audio webcast will be available on Alliance’s Investor Relations website at https://

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 and is further adjusted to exclude certain expenses not representative of

our ongoing operations and other charges not involving cash outlays and “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.

provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In some cases, you

exposure to international markets, particularly emerging markets; our exposure to costs and difficulties

of acquiring and integrating complementary businesses and technologies; and our exposure to
