A strong second quarter saw net sales rise 14.4% to $197.5 million, fueled by organic growth across all product lines and the recent Freedom Pools acquisition. Net income slipped to $12.8 million from $16.0 million a year ago, pressured by higher SG&A investments and foreign currency headwinds, yet Adjusted EBITDA climbed 12% to $44.6 million. Management raised full-year guidance, signaling confidence in sustained demand for fiberglass pools and market share gains in the Sand States. The balance sheet remains solid with $43.5 million in cash and full availability on its $75 million revolver, though the revolver matures in February 2027 and is currently under negotiation for extension.
