The earnings call presented a mixed sentiment. While the integration with AZEK and cost synergies are positive developments, the company faces significant challenges in terms of declining sales in North America, market uncertainties in APAC and Europe, and an unfavorable demand outlook for the Siding & Trim segment. The continuation of inventory destocking by customers further complicates the outlook.
Company Guidance
During the call, James Hardie provided guidance for Fiscal Year 2026, projecting a total adjusted EBITDA of $1.05 billion to $1.15 billion, which includes a contribution of approximately $250 million to $265 million from the recently acquired AZEK. The company anticipates Siding & Trim segment net sales ranging from $2.675 billion to $2.85 billion, with a forecasted high single-digit decline in market demand. For the new Deck, Rail & Accessories segment, net sales are expected to reach $775 million to $800 million over the next nine months, with low single-digit growth in sell-through. Additionally, James Hardie aims for free cash flow of at least $200 million and plans to maintain a disciplined approach to capital expenditures, targeting 6% to 7% of sales over the long term. The company remains committed to reducing net leverage to at or below 2x within two years post-acquisition.
Successful Integration of AZEK
The integration of James Hardie and AZEK has been completed, creating a leading provider of exterior home and outdoor living solutions. The combined company is expected to capture multiple opportunities for material conversion with a total addressable market more than twice the size of legacy James Hardie.
Strong Performance in AZEK Segment
AZEK's Deck, Rail & Accessories segment saw mid-single-digit sell-through growth, driven by continued expansion in the channel and contribution from innovative new products. The segment exceeded previously provided guidance with impressive margin performance.
Cost Synergy Realization
The company has already actioned cost synergies accounting for more than 50% of its run rate target for general and administrative cost savings. This is expected to drive approximately $20 million of P&L benefit in FY '26.
