Action:ReiteratedDate:02/13/26
The score is driven primarily by solid financial quality (steady FCF and manageable leverage) and strong technical momentum (price above key moving averages with positive MACD). This is tempered by a demanding valuation (high P/E) and the need for margin expansion to materialize amid identifiable 2026 headwinds.
Positive Factors
Distribution Network & Market Share
A national network of over 670 branches and five distribution centers gives durable scale advantages: superior fill rates, faster delivery, local presence for contractors, and purchasing leverage. This footprint supports sustained market share gains and makes organic growth and bolt-on M&A more accretive over time.
Consistent Free Cash Flow Generation
Consistent, rising free cash flow (about $247M in 2025 and ~82% of net income) and ample liquidity (cash + ABL ~$768M) provide durable funding for reinvestment, acquisitions, and shareholder returns. Strong cash conversion underpins resilience through cycles and supports strategic initiatives without overleveraging.
Private-Label & Digital Mix and Operational Gains
Shifting mix toward private label and rapid digital penetration improves gross margin potential and customer stickiness. Combined with delivery expense declines and focus-branch margin lifts, these structural improvements create sustainable margin expansion levers beyond temporary price cycles and support scalable, higher-margin revenue channels.
Negative Factors
Profitability Compression / Lower Returns
A material reduction in operating and net profitability (net margin down to ~3.2%) and a lower ROE (~9% in 2025) indicate structural pressure on earnings power. Sustained margin compression reduces reinvestment capacity and makes future growth more reliant on successful operational fixes and margin-restoring initiatives.
Exposure to New Residential Construction Cycle
With roughly one-fifth of sales tied to new residential construction, prolonged weakness in housing demand or higher rates poses a lasting headwind to organic growth. This cyclicality can amplify regional variability and makes topline reliability contingent on a macro recovery, slowing durable revenue expansion.
Expansion Costs & Working Capital Build
Capital and operating costs from distribution-center expansion, higher freight, and a working-capital build (inventory up to $1.01B) create structural near-term margin and cash-flow pressure. While investments aim to enable scale, they can depress returns until utilization and efficiency fully materialize.

SiteOne Landscape Supply Earnings Call Summary
Earnings Call Date:Feb 11, 2026
(Q4-2025)
| % Change Since: |
Next Earnings Date:May 06, 2026
Earnings Call Sentiment Positive
The call emphasized multiple operational and financial improvements (net sales growth, gross margin expansion, adjusted EBITDA growth, improved liquidity, private label and digital acceleration, focus-branch recoveries and continued M&A capability). Management provided constructive 2026 guidance (low-single-digit organic daily sales growth, pricing +1%–3%, and adjusted EBITDA guidance of $425M–$455M) while also transparently noting near-term headwinds (weak new residential construction, lingering commodity deflation in select categories, a dilutive extra fiscal week and initial costs from DC expansion). Overall, the positives—margin expansion, improved cash flow and leverage, and execution on key strategic initiatives—appear to outweigh the manageable near-term challenges.Q4-2025 Updates
Positive Updates
Revenue Growth (FY2025 & Q4)
Net sales increased 4% year-over-year to $4.7 billion for fiscal 2025 and increased 3% to $1.05 billion in the fourth quarter, on the same number of selling days as prior-year periods.
Organic Daily Sales Improvement
Organic daily sales grew 1% for the full year 2025 and 2% in the fourth quarter, reflecting market share gains and stronger pricing in the second half of the year.
Gross Profit and Margin Expansion
Gross profit rose 5% for FY2025 with gross margin up 40 basis points to 34.8%. In Q4, gross profit increased 6% and gross margin expanded 80 basis points to 34.1%, driven by improved price realization and commercial initiatives.
Adjusted EBITDA and Margin Improvement
Adjusted EBITDA increased approximately 10% year-over-year to $414.2 million for FY2025 with adjusted EBITDA margin up 50 basis points to 8.8%. Fourth-quarter adjusted EBITDA rose 18% to $37.6 million with margin expanding 50 basis points to 3.6%.
Net Income and Quarterly Loss Improvement
Net income attributable to SiteOne increased to $151.8 million for FY2025 from $123.6 million in FY2024. The company reduced its Q4 net loss to $9.0 million from a $21.7 million loss in the prior-year period.
Balance Sheet Strength and Liquidity
Net debt decreased to $330 million (leverage 0.8x trailing 12-month adjusted EBITDA vs 1.1x prior year). Available liquidity totaled $768 million ($191 million cash, $578 million ABL capacity). Operating cash flow improved to $301 million for FY2025.
Private Label and Digital Momentum
Private label mix increased by over 100 basis points to 15% of total sales in 2025. Digital sales grew over 120% year-over-year; regular users increased ~60% (thousands of new regular users), with management expecting double-digit digital penetration in 2026.
Operational Improvements: Delivery & Focus Branches
Net delivery expense was reduced by over 40 basis points on delivered sales (approx. one-third of total sales). Focus branches achieved an over 200 basis point improvement in adjusted EBITDA margin in 2025; management expects similar contributions in 2026.
Acquisition Track Record and Pipeline
Since 2014 the company completed 107 acquisitions adding approximately $2.1 billion in trailing 12-month sales. SiteOne added eight companies in 2025 (~$55 million TTM sales) and reports a robust pipeline with expectations of more typical deal sizes in 2026.
Capital Allocation and Share Repurchases
Executed a balanced capital allocation plan in 2025: invested ~$93 million in CapEx and acquisitions, maintained leverage at ~0.8x, and repurchased approximately $98 million of shares (817,000 shares in FY2025).
Negative Updates
New Residential Construction Weakness
New residential construction, representing ~20% of sales, is expected to be down in 2026 due to elevated interest rates, lower consumer confidence, and high home values; this segment was already down in 2025 and is a key headwind to growth.
Commodity Price Deflation Impact
Certain commodity categories remained deflationary in Q4 — grass seed down ~12% and PVC pipe down ~10% — which have depressed prior-year margins; management expects these deflationary impacts to be diminishing but they were notable headwinds.
Fifty-Third Week (Extra Week) Headwind
Fiscal 2026 includes an extra week (four selling days) that falls in a seasonally weak period; management expects this to reduce adjusted EBITDA by $4 million to $5 million and to create roughly a 100 basis point negative drag on organic daily sales for the year.
Short-Term Dilution from Distribution Center Expansion and Freight
Investment in a fifth distribution center (added in Q4) and expansion of another DC increased freight and logistics costs and produced near-term dilutive impacts; management cited an incremental ~$8 million headwind related to DC expansion in 2026.
Smaller-than-Normal M&A Contribution in 2025
2025 was a lighter acquisition year with smaller deals (eight companies, ~$55 million TTM sales), below the company’s longer-term average deal size, limiting acquisition-driven growth contribution in the year.
Branch Consolidations and Associated Costs
Company consolidated and closed 20 branches in 2025; these actions negatively impacted SG&A by $6 million in Q4 (about $4.5 million reflected in adjusted EBITDA). Although management expects to retain most sales via nearby branches, closures generate short-term costs and disruption.
Higher Effective Tax Rate Guidance and Working Capital Build
Effective tax rate is expected to be 25%–26% for fiscal 2026 (up from 22.5% in 2025). Working capital increased to $1.01 billion (from $909 million) due in part to strategic inventory purchases, which could pressure near-term cash deployment.
Regional Pressure and Market Uncertainty
Certain regions (e.g., Texas and California) experienced continued pressure from softness in new construction and broader uncertainty persists around interest rates and consumer confidence, which could negatively affect end markets if conditions worsen.
Company Guidance
Management guided 2026 to low‑single‑digit organic daily sales growth (positive sales volume) with pricing up 1%–3%, and full‑year adjusted EBITDA of $425M–$455M (excluding any contribution from unannounced acquisitions); they noted a $4M–$5M EBITDA headwind from a 53rd selling week (256 selling days in FY2026 vs. 252 in FY2025) that they estimate will also subtract roughly 100 bps from organic growth. They expect gross margin to be higher than 2025’s 34.8% and adjusted EBITDA margin to expand beyond 2025’s 8.8% as commercial initiatives, focus‑branch improvements (over 200 bps margin lift in focus branches in 2025), private‑label growth (private label ~15% of sales, +100 bps in 2025), and acquisitions drive operating leverage. The company plans to continue adding acquisitions from a robust pipeline, while maintaining a conservative balance sheet (net debt $330M, leverage 0.8x TTM adjusted EBITDA) and $768M of available liquidity (cash $191M + $578M ABL), leveraging its >670‑branch, five‑distribution‑center footprint across 45 U.S. states and five Canadian provinces to capture additional share in an estimated $25B market (current share ~19%).SiteOne Landscape Supply Financial Statement Overview
Summary
Strong top-line momentum and consistently positive/free-cash-flow generation (FCF up to ~$247M in 2025) support the score. Offsetting this, operating and net profitability have compressed versus 2021–2022 levels, with lower ROE (~9% in 2025), keeping the financial profile solid but not top-tier.Income Statement
Revenue growth has been strong overall, accelerating sharply in 2025 (annual revenue up to ~$4.7B). However, profitability has weakened versus earlier years: net margin fell from ~6–7% (2021–2022) to ~3.2% (2025), and operating profitability also compressed versus prior peaks. Gross margin has been relatively steady in the mid-30% range, but the step-down in operating and net profitability is a key watch item despite the higher sales base.67
Positive
Balance Sheet
Leverage looks manageable for a distributor, with debt-to-equity around ~0.59 in 2025 (improving from ~0.71 in 2020) and equity steadily building over time. Returns to shareholders have cooled meaningfully (return on equity down from ~19–23% in 2021–2022 to ~9% in 2025), reflecting the margin/earnings compression. Overall, the balance sheet appears stable, but the lower return profile reduces the quality of the recent capital base.72
Positive
Cash Flow
Cash generation is solid, with free cash flow positive every year and rising to ~$247M in 2025. Free cash flow tracks reasonably well versus reported earnings (about ~82% of net income in 2025), suggesting generally acceptable earnings quality. A notable weakness is that operating cash flow has not consistently outpaced earnings and sits at a relatively modest level versus sales, but the company still converts a meaningful portion into free cash flow and showed a strong free-cash-flow rebound in 2025.74
