LATHAM, N.Y. – March 3, 2026 – 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, 2025.
“2025 marked another year of strong execution by the Latham team,” said Sean Gadd, President and CEO of Latham Group. “A disciplined focus on strategic priorities enabled the Company to continue to outperform the U.S. in-ground pool market while driving meaningful margin expansion. Latham’s strengthening market position in the important Sand States provides significant growth opportunities as we move into 2026 and beyond.
1
“Fourth quarter results represented a strong finish to the year, with the Company delivering year-over-year sales growth across all three product categories, underscoring the strength and resilience of Latham’s diversified product portfolio. In-ground pool sales increased 15% in the fourth quarter, driven by growth in fiberglass pool sales which accounted for 76.5% of Latham’s total in-ground pool sales in 2025. Covers and liners were also important contributors to fourth quarter and full year sales growth, reflecting an increase in consumer and builder awareness and adoption of those categories.
“Latham also gained considerable traction in Florida – the Company’s initial Sand State target market – where Latham’s fiberglass pool sales increased at a double-digit rate in 2025. As part of our strategy in Florida, we generated new dealer sign-ups, gained representation in several Master Planned Communities, and continued to nurture strategic partnerships with select custom homebuilders.
“Margin expansion was a key highlight of 2025, with gross margin expanding by 340 basis points in the fourth quarter and 320 basis points for the year, resulting from higher volumes, lean manufacturing and value engineering initiatives, and the accretive acquisitions of Coverstar Central, New York, and Tennessee. Adjusted EBITDA margin also expanded by 630 basis points in the fourth quarter and 250 basis points in 2025, as higher gross margin more than offset increased investments in growth initiatives.”
Fourth Quarter 2025 Results
Net sales for the fourth quarter of 2025 were $100.0 million, up $12.7 million or 14.5% compared to the prior year’s fourth quarter primarily reflecting a strong pick-up in fiberglass pool sales as well as increased demand for autocovers.

Gross profit for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $27.9 million, 30.3% above the $21.4 million in the prior year’s fourth quarter. Gross margin of 28.0% expanded by 340 basis points from 24.6% in the year-ago quarter, primarily resulting from volume leverage, lean manufacturing and value engineering initiatives.
Selling, general, and administrative expenses were $31.4 million, an increase of $4.2 million or 15.6% compared to the fourth quarter of 2024, primarily representing increased investment in sales and marketing to accelerate adoption and awareness of fiberglass pools and autocovers, as well as an increase in stock-based compensation.

Net loss was $7.0 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, significantly less than the net loss of $29.2 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, reported for the prior year’s fourth quarter. Net loss margin was 7.0%, compared to net loss margin of 33.4% for the fourth quarter of 2024.
Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $10.5 million, up $6.9 million or 189.6% from $3.6 million in the prior year’s fourth quarter. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 10.5%, 630 basis points above the 4.2% reported in the prior year period.
Full Year 2025 Results
Net sales were $545.9 million, up $37.4 million or 7.4% from $508.5 million in the prior year period, primarily attributable to higher sales volumes resulting from both organic and acquisition-related growth and tariff-related price increases. This was achieved within a U.S. in-ground pool market that Latham estimates declined by a low- to mid-single-digit rate.

Gross margin expanded by 320 basis points to 33.4% from 30.2% in the prior year period, primarily resulting from production efficiencies from our lean manufacturing and value engineering initiatives, and a margin benefit from the three Coverstar acquisitions.
Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased to $122.6 million, up $14.2 million or 13.1%, from $108.4 million in the prior year period, primarily due to investments in sales and marketing, our digital transformation efforts, and the full year impact of Coverstar Central and the inclusion of Coverstar New York and Tennessee.
Net income was $11.1 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $17.9 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, in the prior year period. Net income margin was 2.0% compared to a net loss margin of 3.5% in the prior year period.

Balance Sheet, Cash Flow, and Liquidity
Latham ended 2025 with cash of $71.0 million. Net cash provided by operating activities was $11.3 million in the fourth quarter and $51.4 million for the full year 2025.
Total debt was $279.8 million at year-end, and the net debt leverage ratio was 2.1.
Capital expenditures totaled $9.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to $6.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. For the year ended December 31, 2025, capital expenditures were $25.4 million compared to $20.1 million in the prior year period.
Summary and Outlook
On February 26, 2026, Latham completed the acquisition of Freedom Pools, a fiberglass pool manufacturer and installer operating in Australia and New Zealand. The acquisition is expected to be immediately accretive to Latham’s earnings, adding approximately $20 million in net sales and approximately $4 million in adjusted EBITDA on an annualized basis before acquisition synergies. More details are contained in a separate release issued at the same time as this earnings release.
“For 2026, we are guiding to strong revenue growth despite our projection that U.S. in-ground pool starts remain roughly in line with 2025 levels – representing Latham’s continued outperformance compared to the market. Underpinning our revenue guidance is our expectation for mid-single-digit organic growth reflecting Latham’s leadership in the design and manufacture of fiberglass pools and autocovers, two product categories with significant growth runways.
“In 2026, we plan to expand and refine our branding and marketing investments, with increased focus on building out our presence in the Sand States through greater contractor and homebuilder engagement. The opportunity there is substantial, and we are developing programs to enhance dealer conversion and expand our presence in our target markets.
“Guidance for Latham’s full year 2026, contained in the table below, represents year-on-year sales growth of 9.0% at the midpoint, reflecting our expectation for mid-single-digit organic growth together with the benefit of the Freedom Pools acquisition. Adjusted EBITDA growth of 12.7% at the midpoint reflects the significant operating leverage inherent in our business model and includes the impact of increased spending on growth initiatives,” Mr. Gadd concluded.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We track our non-GAAP financial measures to monitor and manage our underlying financial performance. This earnings release includes the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, net debt and net debt leverage ratio which are non-GAAP financial measures that exclude the impact of certain costs, losses, and gains that are required to be included under U.S. GAAP. 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, 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 earnings release.
5
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) (gain) loss 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 and (x) the Odessa fire and such other 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. We encourage you 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 mindful that in the future we may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments in this earnings 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 should not be considered 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; |
6
| · | 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 (benefit) expense, 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.
