Earnings Call Summary

Q1 2026

Earnings Call Sentiment|Positive
The call conveyed solid financial execution and margin expansion despite a mixed top-line backdrop. Key positives include 5% revenue growth, significant operating profit and EPS expansion (14% and ~16%), strong free cash flow and disciplined capital returns, lower leverage, healthy nonresidential and waterworks growth, and an upgraded operating margin guide. Offsetting these strengths are persistent residential softness, notable HVAC weakness tied to regulatory transitions and consumer behavior, Canada underperformance, elevated working capital timing effects, and commodity mix volatility. Management positioned the company as well-capitalized and strategically invested to capture medium-term tailwinds (large capital projects, HVAC/plumbing dual-trade expansion, waterworks), while cautioning on potential lumpiness and near-term market pressure.
Company Guidance
Ferguson updated its calendar 2025 guidance to roughly 5% revenue growth and an operating margin of 9.4%–9.6% (midpoint ~9.5%, up from prior 9.2%–9.6%), with interest expense of about $190 million, CapEx of roughly $350 million (upper end of prior guide), and an effective tax rate near 26%. The company said it will operate at the lower end of its 1–2x net debt/EBITDA target (current net debt/EBITDA = 1.1x), pursue bolt‑on M&A and organic investment, return capital when below the low end of the range, has ~$800 million remaining on its buyback authorization, and recently raised the quarterly dividend to $0.89 (a 7% increase).
Revenue Growth
Net sales of $8.2 billion, up ~5% year-over-year (Bill: +5.1%), driven by organic growth (~4%–4.4%) and ~1% from acquisitions.
Profitability Expansion
Gross margin improved to 30.7% (+60 basis points YoY). Operating profit of $808 million grew ~14% YoY and operating margin expanded to 9.9% (≈+80 basis points).
Earnings Per Share Performance
Diluted EPS of $2.84, up ~16% YoY (15.9%), helped by operating profit growth and share repurchases.
Cash Flow and Liquidity
EBITDA of $867 million (+$109 million YoY). Operating cash flow $430 million vs. $345 million prior year. Free cash flow $325 million vs. $274 million prior year. Net debt/EBITDA at 1.1x, within target leverage range.
Capital Allocation and Shareholder Returns
Deployed capital: CapEx $118 million; working capital invested $440 million this quarter. Returned $372 million to shareholders via $208 million in buybacks and $164 million in dividends. Quarterly dividend increased 7% to $0.89/share; ~$800 million remaining repurchase authority.
Segment & End-Market Strength — Nonresidential and Waterworks
Nonresidential revenue up 12% and commercial mechanical customer group up 21%. Waterworks grew 14%, driven by large capital projects, public works, municipal activity and metering technology.
Strategic Execution and M&A
Acquired Moore Supply Company (HVAC, Chicago market) and continue to pursue bolt-on geography/capability deals. Company highlights healthy acquisition pipeline and continued counter conversions (~650 completed) to support HVAC/plumbing expansion.
Updated 2025 Guidance
Updated calendar 2025 guidance: ~5% revenue growth expected; operating margin guidance raised to 9.4%–9.6% (from prior 9.2%–9.6%). Interest expense ≈$190 million; CapEx guidance ≈$350 million; effective tax rate ≈26%.
