📰 Full Story
Zurn Elkay Water Solutions Corp (NYSE: ZWS) reported robust fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 results, driven by core sales growth and margin expansion.
Q4 net sales were $407.2 million, up 10% core year‑over‑year; adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $104.1 million (25.6% margin). For full-year 2025, net sales were $1.696 billion (+8% core), adjusted EBITDA was $442 million (26.1% margin) and record free cash flow was $317 million.
The company returned capital with $160 million in share repurchases and $64 million in dividends, cutting net debt leverage to 0.4x.
Management beat consensus EPS expectations (adjusted EPS $0.36 vs. $0.34) and set 2026 guidance targeting mid‑single‑digit core sales growth and roughly $335 million in free cash flow; first‑quarter core sales are expected to be up 7–8% with incremental adjusted EBITDA margins of about 35% (implying 25.5–26.0% reported margins). The release noted segment softness in some residential and commercial end markets and flagged risks from metal prices, tariffs and inflation.
The stock traded to a 52‑week high on the results.
