    • Management expects to fully offset the impact of tariffs in 2027 through automation savings and full-year pricing realization.
    • Pricing actions implemented in May are expected to flow through multi-family and commercial revenue starting with shorter-cycle jobs late in the year and larger projects during 2027.
    • The company remains committed to growing well above industry rates and unlocking additional value for shareholders.
  • Business Segments and Product Lines:

    • Multi-family and commercial business drove 31% growth, fueled by execution on a record backlog.
    • Single-family residential growth was 17% year-over-year excluding pre-buy activity from the second quarter.
    • The company opened a Los Angeles showroom to bring Legacy Line aluminum windows to the West Coast.
    • The company continues to book large projects in the luxury lodging and condo markets, including its largest project to date signed subsequent to the quarter end.
    • Automation initiatives are taking hold, contributing to operational efficiency.
    • The expanding dealer network and vinyl lines are supporting market share gains in single-family residential projects.
  • Market and Competitive Landscape:

    • The company achieved all-organic growth driven by continued market share gains and geographic expansion outside of Florida.

    • Approximately 95% of total revenues are generated from the United States.
  • Risks and Challenges:

    • Gross margins were pressured by elevated aluminum costs, ongoing tariffs, and a Colombian Peso at its strongest level since 2018.
    • A stronger Colombian Peso (appreciating approximately 20% year-over-year) drove approximately 580 basis points of the 860 basis point decline in gross margin.
    • Roughly 250 basis points of the margin decline was attributed to a non-cash inventory revaluation of approximately $8.4 million.
    • Higher raw material costs from U.S. aluminum purchased at peak prices earlier in the year impacted margins.
    • Unfavorable mix from a higher level of installation revenue and higher labor costs related to the annual minimum wage adjustment in Colombia affected results.
    • Non-cash foreign exchange transaction losses of $3.3 million impacted net income in the quarter.
  • Management Commentary and Tone:

    • CEO José Manuel Daes expressed pleasure at delivering record revenues and noted that higher volumes drew on aluminum purchased at peak prices, though lower levels have since been secured.
    • Management stated that excluding the non-cash inventory revaluation, Adjusted EBITDA was ahead of internal expectations.
    • COO Christian Daes highlighted the record backlog and consistent execution on a growing pipeline of multi-family and commercial projects.
    • CFO Santiago Giraldo stated the company remains well-positioned to invest in growth while returning capital to shareholders due to a conservative debt profile and strong cash generation.
    • The tone was confident regarding the ability to unlock value and offset tariff impacts in 2027.
  • Other Key Points:

    • The company returned $6.7 million in cash dividends to shareholders during the quarter.
    • As of September 30, 2026, approximately $92.5 million remained under the current share repurchase program.
    • In August, the company completed the $23 million purchase of land in St. Lucie County, Florida, for a potential new manufacturing facility.
    • The feasibility study for the potential new facility remains active and does not represent a commitment to proceed with construction.
    • The company has secured state, local, and utility incentives expected to significantly enhance returns if the project meets its parameters.
