Key Financial Metrics

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Revenue Growth: Total revenue increased 5.8% year-over-year. This growth was driven by $18.1 million in inorganic revenue from the Kiwi II Acquisition (closed Jan 8, 2026). Organic revenue declined by $5.9 million due to pricing pressures and macroeconomic uncertainty.
• Profitability Decline: Net income plummeted 98.1% to $0.2 million. This was primarily caused by a 48.2% drop in operating income, driven by higher costs of revenues (including steel prices and tariffs) and increased operating expenses.
• One-Time Charges: The quarter included $2.6 million in restructuring charges and a $2.1 million loss on the extinguishment and modification of debt related to a February 2026 loan repricing.
• Segment Performance:
  • Janus North America: Revenue up 2.7% to $195.9 million; Adjusted EBITDA down 14.6% to $31.5 million.
  • Janus International: Revenue up 28.8% to $27.3 million; Adjusted EBITDA flat at $1.5 million.
• Capital Allocation: The company repurchased 2.86 million shares for $15.7 million. Cash used in investing activities spiked to $100.0 million due to the $97.2 million cash payment for the Kiwi II acquisition.

Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary

• Debt Repricing: Successfully completed a repricing of the First Lien Term Loan in February 2026, reducing interest rate margins by 50 basis points (SOFR + 200 bps). This reduced net interest expense by $2.1 million compared to the prior year.
• Acquisition Integration: Kiwi II Construction is being integrated to expand capabilities in self-storage construction and pre-engineered buildings. Preliminary goodwill of $44.2 million was recorded.
• Tariffs and Trade: Management notes exposure to steel tariffs. While most steel is sourced domestically, the company is monitoring regulatory changes, including recent Supreme Court rulings and new global tariffs, which could impact costs.
• Goodwill Impairment: An interim quantitative impairment assessment was performed. While fair value exceeded carrying value for all reporting units, the margins for the BETCO (8.2%) and TMC (20.0%) units were not substantially in excess, indicating sensitivity to future performance.
• Liquidity: The company maintains a $125.0 million revolving credit facility with approximately $71.8 million available. Management believes operating cash flows and borrowing capacity are sufficient to meet obligations.

Investor Verification Checklist

• Organic Revenue Trends: Verify the sustainability of the 2.8% organic revenue decline amidst pricing pressures and macroeconomic headwinds.
• Cost Pass-Through: Assess the company's ability to pass on rising steel costs and potential tariff impacts to customers without further eroding margins.
• Acquisition Synergies: Monitor the integration progress of Kiwi II and whether the projected synergies materialize to offset the increased amortization and restructuring costs.
• Goodwill Sensitivity: Review the valuation assumptions for the BETCO and TMC reporting units, given the narrow margin of safety in the impairment test.
• Cash Burn: Track the impact of the $97.2 million acquisition outflow on liquidity, especially given the reduction in operating cash flow.
