CARLISLE COMPANIES INC Q2 FY26 Results

Our record second quarter results reflect the Carlisle team's relentless focus on execution and operational discipline in a challenging macroeconomic environment. We delivered record revenue of $1.6 billion, up 8% year-over-year, and record adjusted EPS of $7.03, up 12%. Our teams drove above-market growth in both CCM and CWT through continued execution of our strategic growth initiatives. We focused on the factors within our control: swift pricing actions, disciplined cost management, and continued progress on innovation. We remain committed to advancing our Vision 2030 strategy through organic growth, bolt-on acquisitions, margin expansion, increased free cash flow, and disciplined capital allocation. Our record revenue was driven by above-market volume growth from continued execution of strategic initiatives, solid re-roofing demand, and customer pre-buying activity ahead of announced price increases. Our margin performance remained resilient despite continued market headwinds, reflecting the benefits of our operational efficiency initiatives and our unwavering commitment to operational excellence. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 30.7% at CCM and 19.0% at CWT, each in line with our expectations, even as elevated input costs outpaced pricing realization during the quarter. Notably, CWT's adjusted EBITDA margin improved 380 basis points compared to the prior quarter, aided by our investments in automation, manufacturing consolidation, and the expansion of in-house expanded polystyrene resin capacity, which all continued to gain traction. The most significant, and well-understood, external challenge in the quarter was the rapid rise in petroleum-derived raw material and freight costs driven by the conflict in the Middle East. We acted decisively to recover our costs through freight surcharges and broad-based price increases across CCM and CWT, implemented in April and July, with a third increase taking effect in August. As we have experienced in prior raw material inflationary cycles, pricing realization typically lags cost inflation, and we expect the benefit of our pricing actions to build through the second half of 2026 and into 2027. We also continued to advance our innovation pipeline to support our Vision 2030 objectives. We have launched roughly half of our planned new products for 2026, highlighted by the first commercial shipment of our award-winning ThermaThin 7 polyiso insulation. ThermaThin 7 enables thinner roof assemblies, lower freight costs from fewer truckloads, and superior cold weather thermal performance. We remain on track to introduce the balance of this year's new products and continue to invest in our research and innovation center to support long-term growth. Our strong balance sheet continues to support our balanced and disciplined approach to capital allocation. During the quarter, we repurchased $250 million of shares, and we have increased our full-year target for repurchases to $1.2 billion. Our M&A framework remains unchanged: disciplined, synergistic building envelope acquisitions that enhance our systems offering, increase content per square foot, and meet our strict returns criteria. Based on our first-half performance, continued momentum in our strategic growth initiatives, and the pricing actions we have taken, we are raising our full-year 2026 revenue outlook to mid-single-digit growth with flat adjusted EBITDA margin. This outlook reflects disciplined execution, partial recovery of higher raw material and freight costs, and easier comparisons. It does not assume a near-term recovery in new construction markets. With the strength of our imperative business model, resilient re-roofing demand, and our leadership position in North America, we remain confident in our path to $40 of adjusted EPS and 25%-plus ROIC under Vision 2030.
