LATHAM, N.Y., Nov. 05, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Latham Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: SWIM), the largest designer, manufacturer, and marketer of in-ground residential swimming pools in North America, Australia, and New Zealand, today announced financial results for the third quarter 2024 ended September 28, 2024.
Commenting on the results, Scott Rajeski, President and CEO, said, “We continued to execute well within a difficult industry environment, increasing awareness and adoption of fiberglass pools and automatic safety covers, gaining production efficiencies, and controlling costs, while investing in initiatives to drive future growth. Third quarter sales performance benefited from our leadership in fiberglass pools, which have been gaining share in the in-ground pool market and are increasingly recognized by consumers for their superior quality and cost benefits, fast and easy installation and eco-friendly attributes compared to concrete pools. Our year-to-date fiberglass pool sales are tracking to reach approximately 75% of our total in-ground pool sales in 2024, in line with our expectations. Third quarter results included an approximate two-month contribution from the acquisition of our exclusive dealer for automatic safety covers in 29 states, Coverstar Central, which closed in early August. With key integration activities completed, we are moving forward with a unified sales and marketing strategy designed to accelerate the sales growth of this product line, which provides unparalleled safety and offers significant operating cost savings to the homeowners.
“Lean manufacturing and value engineering programs, and improved procurement, continued to result in significant production efficiencies and, together with the Coverstar Central acquisition, enabled us to achieve stable gross profit performance and expanded gross margin on lower year-on-year sales. We expect these factors will position us to significantly increase net sales and profitability amid an industry recovery and enable longer-term margin expansion.”
Third Quarter 2024 Results
Net sales for the third quarter of 2024 were $150.5 million, down $10.3 million or 6.4%, from $160.8 million in the prior year’s third quarter primarily due to lower sales volumes driven by continued soft industry conditions and challenging macroeconomic environment.
| Third Quarter Net Sales by Product Line | ||||
| (in thousands) | ||||
| Fiscal Quarter Ended | ||||
| September 28, 2024 | September 30, 2023 | |||
| In-Ground Swimming Pools | $ | 74,785 | $ | 82,884 |
| Covers | 47,755 | 47,460 | ||
| Liners | 27,956 | 30,434 | ||
| Total | $ | 150,496 | $ | 160,778 |
Gross profit for the third quarter of 2024 was $48.7 million, slightly above $48.1 million in the prior year’s third quarter. Gross margin of 32.4% expanded by 250 basis points from 29.9% in the year-ago quarter, reflecting production efficiencies and the acquisition of Coverstar Central.
Selling, general, and administrative expenses were $28.3 million, an increase of $4.9 million or 20.9%, from $23.4 million in the third quarter of 2023, primarily representing increased spending on sales and marketing to further strengthen our position ahead of a market turnaround, performance-based compensation as well as the acquisition of Coverstar Central.
Net income was $5.9 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, compared to $6.2 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, reported for the prior year’s third quarter. Net income margin was 3.9%, compared to net income margin of 3.8% for the third quarter of 2023.
Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2024 was $29.8 million, down $6.3 million or 17.3% from $36.1 million in the prior year’s third quarter. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 19.8%, 260 basis points below the 22.4% reported in the prior-year period.
Nine Months 2024 Results
Net sales were $421.2 million, down $54.4 million or 11.4%, from $475.6 million in the prior year period, primarily attributable to lower sales volume due to continued macroeconomic weakness.
Gross profit was $132.3 million, in line with $131.7 million in the prior year period. Gross margin expanded by 370 basis points to 31.4% from 27.7% in the prior year period, primarily resulting from our previously announced restructuring programs, production efficiencies from lean manufacturing and value engineering initiatives, cost containment programs, supplier optimization, and modest deflation.
Selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased to $81.2 million, down $5.5 million or 6.4%, from $86.7 million in the prior year period, primarily due to a $9.8 million decrease in non-cash stock-based compensation expense, as well as our cost containment initiatives and restructuring programs, and was partially offset by an increase in performance-based compensation and investment in our sales and marketing efforts to further strengthen our position ahead of a market turnaround.
Net income was $11.3 million, or $0.10 per diluted share compared to a net loss of $2.5 million, or $(0.02) per diluted share in the prior year period. Net income margin was 2.7% compared to a net loss margin of 0.5% in the prior year period.
Adjusted EBITDA was $76.6 million, down $1.5 million or 1.9% from $78.1 million in the prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 18.2%, a 180-basis-point increase from 16.4% in the prior year period.
Balance Sheet, Cash Flow, and Liquidity
Latham ended the third quarter with cash of $59.9 million after the purchase of Coverstar Central for approximately $65 million in August 2024 and the repayment of $19.6 million of debt in the nine months ended September 28, 2024. Net cash provided by operating activities was $37.2 million in the third quarter and $55.2 million for the first nine months of 2024.
Total debt was $282.8 million, and the net debt leverage ratio was 2.6 at the end of the third quarter, up from 2.1 at the end of the second quarter primarily due to the acquisition of Coverstar Central.
Capital expenditures totaled $4.0 million in the third quarter of 2024, in line with the Company’s guidance of approximately $5 million per quarter, compared to $4.9 million in the third quarter of 2023. In the nine months ended September 28, 2024, capital expenditures were $13.9 million compared to $28.3 million in the prior year period.
Summary and Outlook
“Our year-to-date performance reflects Latham’s market leadership position across our product portfolio and demonstrates our company’s resilience in the face of a significant decline in new pool starts. The growth strategies we are executing, with particular emphasis on fiberglass conversion and automatic safety cover adoption and gaining market share in the Sand States, together with strategic acquisition opportunities, position us to continue to outperform the industry,” Mr. Rajeski concluded.
Latham narrowed its full year 2024 guidance ranges for net sales and Adjusted EBITDA to reflect the end of much of the pool building season and the potential impacts on shipments from recent hurricanes.
| FY 2024 Guidance Ranges | ||
| Updated | Prior | |
| Net Sales | $500-510 million | $495-525 million |
| Adjusted EBITDA1 | $77-83 million | $75-85 million |
| Capital Expenditures | $18-22 million | $18-22 million |
1) A reconciliation of Latham’s projected Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss) for 2024 is not available without unreasonable effort due to uncertainty related to our future income tax expense (benefit).

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We track our non-GAAP financial measures to monitor and manage our underlying financial performance. This news release includes the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, net debt and net debt leverage ratio, on a historical and pro forma basis, which are non-GAAP financial measures that exclude the impact of certain costs, losses, and gains that are required to be included under GAAP. Our pro forma presentation gives effect to the Coverstar Central acquisition as if it occurred as of January 1, 2023. Although we believe these measures are useful to investors and analysts for the same reasons it is useful to management, as discussed below, these measures are neither a substitute for, nor superior to, U.S. GAAP financial measures or disclosures. Other companies may calculate similarly-titled non-GAAP measures differently, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures. In addition, our presentation of non-GAAP financial measures should not be construed to imply that our future results will be unaffected by any such adjustments. We have reconciled our historic non-GAAP financial measures to the applicable most comparable GAAP measures in this news release.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are key metrics used by management and our board of directors to assess our financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are also frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry, when considered alongside other GAAP measures. We use Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin to supplement GAAP measures of performance to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies, to make budgeting decisions, to utilize as a significant performance metric in our incentive compensation plans, and to compare our performance against that of other companies using similar measures. We have presented Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin solely as supplemental disclosures because we believe they allow for a more complete analysis of results of operations and assist investors and analysts in comparing our operating performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance, such as (i) depreciation and amortization, (ii) interest expense, net, (iii) income tax (benefit) expense, (iv) loss (gain) on sale and disposal of property and equipment, (v) restructuring charges, (vi) stock-based compensation expense, (vii) unrealized (gains) losses on foreign currency transactions, (viii) strategic initiative costs, (ix) acquisition and integration related costs, (x) Odessa fire and other such unusual events and (xi) other.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are non-GAAP financial measures and should not be considered as alternatives to net income (loss) as a measure of financial performance or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP, and they should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. You are encouraged to evaluate these adjustments and the reasons we consider them appropriate for supplemental analysis. In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments in this news release. There can be no assurance that we will not modify the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin in the future, and any such modification may be material. In addition, other companies, including companies in our industry, may not calculate Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin at all or may calculate Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin differently and accordingly, are not necessarily comparable to similarly entitled measures of other companies, which reduces the usefulness of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin as tools for comparison.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin have their limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin:
- do not reflect every expenditure, future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
- do not reflect changes in our working capital needs;
- do not reflect the interest expense, net, or the amounts necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our outstanding debt;
- do not reflect income tax (benefit) expense, and because the payment of taxes is part of our operations, tax expense is a necessary element of our costs and ability to operate;
- do not reflect non-cash stock-based compensation, which will remain a key element of our overall compensation package; and
- do not reflect the impact of earnings or charges resulting from matters we consider not to be indicative of our ongoing operations.
Although depreciation and amortization are eliminated in the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin do not reflect any costs of such replacements.
Net Debt and Net Debt Leverage Ratio
Net Debt and Net Debt Leverage Ratio are non-GAAP financial measures used in monitoring and evaluating our overall liquidity, financial flexibility, and leverage. Other companies may calculate similarly titled non-GAAP measures differently, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures. We define Net Debt as total debt less cash and cash equivalents. We define the Net Debt Leverage Ratio as Net Debt divided by last twelve months (“LTM”) of Adjusted EBITDA. We believe this measure is an important indicator of our ability to service our long-term debt obligations. There are material limitations to using Net Debt Leverage Ratio as we may not always be able to use cash to repay debt on a dollar-for-dollar basis.
