Positive Outlook
- Better-than-expected results in the first half of the fiscal year led to updated, presumably higher, guidance.
- Company is well-positioned to continue executing on its value proposition.
- Focus on driving market conversion and accelerating organic and inorganic growth.
- Commitment to generating free cash flow to invest in the business and return capital to shareholders.
- Acquisition of NDS is expected to add complementary offerings, enhance go-to-market capabilities, expand addressable market, and unlock significant value creation with over $25 million in expected annual cost synergies.
Challenges Ahead
- The end market outlook for the remainder of Fiscal 2026 remains unchanged.
- Challenging macroeconomic environment due to high interest rates.
- Tepid market demand is expected to persist.
- Depressed construction activity is anticipated.
- The NDS acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals, and is expected to close in the first quarter of calendar year 2026, meaning its benefits are not immediate.
