Profitability improved meaningfully. Net income attributable to common stockholders rose to $153.8 million, and diluted EPS increased to $3.11, while adjusted EPS climbed 52.5% to $3.37. Adjusted EBITDA grew 25.1% to $388.8 million, with margin expanding to 6.4%. Operating cash flow jumped to $221.4 million, driving free cash flow of $213.4 million, or 128% of adjusted net income. Wesco also refinanced debt with new $650 million 5.250% notes due 2031 and $850 million 5.500% notes due 2034, targeting more than $20 million in annual interest savings and reducing its financial leverage ratio to 3.2x. Reflecting the strong start, the company raised its 2026 outlook, now expecting reported sales of $24.9–$25.6 billion, organic growth of 5–8%, and adjusted EPS of $15.00–$17.00.
