Here are the key takeaways from Gibraltar Industries’ conference call:
- OmniMax acquisition closed on Feb 2 and is expected to contribute roughly $570M of revenue in 2026, making the residential segment >80% of the company and driving consolidated net sales guidance of $1.76–$1.83B; management expects OmniMax to be slightly dilutive (~$0.09) in 2026 but accretive in 2027.
- Integration is underway with a centralized IMO and 20 IPTs, and synergies were increased to $24M (vs. $20M plan) with just over $15M flowing to 2026 EBITDA, including earlier-than-expected commercial cross-selling opportunities.
- Transaction financed with two term loans totaling $1.3B plus a $500M revolver and Ba3/BB? ratings, leaving a near-term elevated leverage profile (management expects < $1.1B net debt year?end) and covenant headroom of 5.25x stepping to 4.25x.
- 2026 guidance reflects ~57% reported revenue growth at the midpoint (about 5% organic) and adjusted EBITDA margin expansion to ~17.6%–17.8%, but management warns Q1 will be weak (<20% of adjusted EPS) with limited Q1 free cash flow due to timing of synergies, acquisition charges, and interest expense.
- 2025 ended with solid cash generation and portfolio actions—adjusted sales of $1.14B (+12%), adjusted EPS of $3.92, $137M operating cash flow, sale of EBOS for $70M, and an ongoing renewables sale aimed at accelerating debt paydown.
