HARVEY, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Atkore Inc. (the “Company” or “Atkore”) (NYSE: ATKR) announced earnings for its fiscal 2026 second quarter ended March 27, 2026.

“We were pleased with our second quarter results. We delivered approximately 5% year-over-year organic volume growth and solid productivity gains. In addition our net sales, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS all improved sequentially versus our first quarter results,” said Bill Waltz, Atkore President and Chief Executive Officer. “These operating results reflect improvements from our own internal initiatives as well as benefits from solid end-market demand.”

Waltz continued, “Over the past few months, we have also completed several actions related to our broader review of strategic alternatives. We have now finalized the three plant closures previously announced, and we have recently divested both our High-Density Polyethylene Pipe & Conduit (“HDPE”) business as well as our surface protection and powder coatings business in Belgium. Each of these completed actions represent our commitment to support the electrical infrastructure market which we believe will enable long-term shareholder value creation.”

Net sales increased by $29.7 million, or 4.2%, to $731.4 million for the three months ended March 27, 2026, compared to $701.7 million for the three months ended March 28, 2025. The increase in net sales is primarily attributed to increased sales volume of $32.3 million, increased average selling prices of $10.2 million and foreign exchange benefits of $8.2 million partially offset by the impact of divestitures of $12.6 million.

Gross profit decreased by $49.0 million, or 26.5%, to $136.1 million for the three months ended March 27, 2026, as compared to $185.1 million for the prior-year period. Gross margin decreased to 18.6% for the three months ended March 27, 2026, as compared to 26.4% for the prior-year period. Gross profit decreased primarily due to increased input costs of $82.1 million outpacing increases in average selling prices of $10.2 million.

Net loss decreased by $74.0 million, or 147.9%, to a net loss of $124.1 million for the three months ended March 27, 2026 compared to $50.1 million of net loss for the prior-year period. The decrease was primarily due to lower gross profit of $49.0 million, increased litigation settlement expense of $136.5 million, increased other expense related to loss on assets held for sale of $19.2 million and increased selling, general and administrative expense of $8.9 million, partially offset by decreased asset impairment charges of $116.2 million and increased income tax benefit of $18.2 million.

Adjusted EBITDA decreased by $35.4 million, or 30.4%, to $81.1 million for the three months ended March 27, 2026 compared to $116.4 million for the three months ended March 28, 2025. The decrease was primarily due to lower gross profit.

Net loss per diluted share prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) was $(3.65) for the three months ended March 27, 2026, as compared to $(1.46) in the prior-year period. The decrease in diluted earnings per share is primarily due to the impact of lower gross margin, litigation settlement expense and losses on assets held for sale. Adjusted net income per diluted share decreased by $0.81 to $1.23 for the three months ended March 27, 2026, as compared to $2.04 in the prior year period.

Segment Results

Electrical

Net sales increased by $39.8 million, or 8.1%, to $532.5 million for the three months ended March 27, 2026 compared to $492.7 million for the three months ended March 28, 2025. The increase in net sales is primarily attributed to increased sales volume of $28.4 million, foreign exchange benefits of $8.0 million and increased average selling prices of $6.5 million.

Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 27, 2026 decreased by $16.6 million, or 18.2%, to $74.4 million from $90.9 million for the three months ended March 28, 2025. Adjusted EBITDA margin decreased to 14.0% for the three months ended March 27, 2026 compared to 18.5% for the three months ended March 28, 2025. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin was largely due to increases in input costs outpacing increases in average selling prices.

Safety & Infrastructure

Net sales decreased by $10.2 million, or 4.9%, for the three months ended March 27, 2026 to $199.1 million compared to $209.3 million for the three months ended March 28, 2025. The decrease is primarily attributed to the impact of recent divestitures of $9.5 million and higher solar credit rebates of $8.5 million, partially offset by increased sales volume of $3.9 million and an increase in average selling prices of $3.7 million.

Adjusted EBITDA decreased by $18.8 million, or 52.0%, to $17.3 million for the three months ended March 27, 2026 compared to $36.1 million for the three months ended March 28, 2025. Adjusted EBITDA margin decreased to 8.7% for the three months ended March 27, 2026 compared to 17.2% for the three months ended March 28, 2025. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin was largely due to higher input costs.

Divestitures

On April 8, 2026, Atkore completed the sale of its HDPE business to Infra Pipes. Under the terms of the sales agreement, Atkore contributed its HDPE business and retained a 10% equity stake in the combined entity. In addition to contributing the HDPE business, Atkore will capitalize the combined business with approximately $28 million in cash over time.

On April 30, 2026, the Company completed the sale of its Vergo Coating SRL and Vergo Galva NV businesses in Belgium.

Legal Settlements

On April 28, 2026, the Company entered into settlement agreements (the "Settlement Agreements") with two of the three putative classes in a case captioned In re PVC Pipe Antitrust Litigation (“Class Action Litigation”). These two classes were the Direct Purchaser Plaintiffs ("DPP Plaintiffs") and the Non-Converter Seller Purchaser Plaintiffs ("NCSP" Plaintiffs) (together, the "DPP and NCSP Plaintiffs"), individually and on behalf of the putative DPP and NCSP Plaintiff class members. The Settlement Agreements totaled $136.5 million and was recognized in the Company’s financial statements for the quarter ended March 27, 2026.

Liquidity & Capital Resources

On April 30, 2026, Atkore’s Board of Directors approved a quarterly dividend payment of $0.33 per share of common stock payable on May 29, 2026 to stockholders of record on May 19, 2026.

Full-Year Outlook1

The Company is maintaining its estimated range for fiscal year 2026 Adjusted EBITDA at $340 to $360 million, and Adjusted net income per diluted share at $5.05 to $5.55.

The Company notes that this perspective may vary due to changes in assumptions or market conditions and other factors described under “Forward-Looking Statements.”

The Company assumes no obligation to update the information contained herein, which speaks only as of the date hereof.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

This press release includes certain financial information, not prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (“GAAP”). Because not all companies calculate non-GAAP financial information identically (or at all), the presentations herein may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies. Further, these measures should not be considered substitutes for the performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP. See non-GAAP reconciliations below in this press release for a reconciliation of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin

We use Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin in evaluating the performance of our business and in the preparation of our annual operating budgets as indicators of business performance and profitability. We believe Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin allow us to readily view operating trends, perform analytical comparisons and identify strategies to improve operating performance.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before income taxes, adjusted to exclude unallocated expenses, depreciation and amortization, interest expense, net, stock-based compensation, loss on extinguishment of debt, gains and losses on the divestiture of a business, impairment of assets, certain legal matters, and other items, such as inventory reserves and adjustments, loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment, insurance recovery related to damages of property, plant and equipment, release of indemnified uncertain tax positions, realized or unrealized gain (loss) on foreign currency impacts of intercompany loans and related forward currency derivatives, gain on purchase of business, loss on assets held for sale, restructuring costs and transaction costs. We define Adjusted EBITDA margin as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of Net sales.

We believe Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin, when presented in conjunction with comparable GAAP measures, are useful for investors because management uses Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin in evaluating the performance of our business.

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income per Share

We use Adjusted net income and Adjusted net income per share in evaluating the performance of our business and profitability. Management believes that these measures provide useful information to investors by offering additional ways of viewing the Company’s results that, when reconciled to the corresponding GAAP measure provide an indication of performance and profitability excluding the impact of unusual and certain non-cash items. We define Adjusted net income as net income before stock-based compensation, loss on extinguishment of debt, loss on assets held for sale, gains and losses on the divestiture of a business (including any additional tax adjustments related to those divestitures), insurance recoveries, asset impairment charges, intangible asset amortization, certain legal matters and other items, restructuring costs, accelerated depreciation, transaction costs, and the income tax expense or benefit on the foregoing adjustments that are subject to income tax. We define Adjusted net income per share as basic and diluted net income per share excluding the per share impact of stock-based compensation, intangible asset amortization, certain legal matters and other items, and the income tax expense or benefit on the foregoing adjustments that are subject to income tax.

Free Cash Flow

We define Free Cash Flow as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, less capital expenditures. We believe that Free Cash Flow provides meaningful information regarding the Company’s liquidity.
