Latham Group, Inc., a leading designer and manufacturer of in-ground swimming pools, has reported strong financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended 2025. The company continued its track record of outperforming the broader U.S. in-ground pool market, demonstrating resilience and strategic execution.
A key highlight of the year was a significant year-on-year expansion in operating margins. This improvement was driven by a lower overall cost structure, disciplined cost management, and ongoing operational efficiencies. Notably, this financial strength has allowed Latham to simultaneously increase its investments in initiatives designed to fuel future growth and market leadership.
The company also made a major strategic move in February 2026 with the acquisition of Freedom Pools, a prominent player in the Australia and New Zealand region. This acquisition dramatically expands Latham's market position in the Asia-Pacific and is projected to be immediately accretive to earnings.
Looking ahead, Latham has provided optimistic guidance for the 2026 fiscal year. The company anticipates net sales growth of approximately 9.0%. Furthermore, it projects an even stronger 12.7% growth in Adjusted EBITDA, signaling confidence in its profitability trajectory and the successful integration of its recent acquisition. This outlook reflects Latham's solid market position and its strategic initiatives aimed at sustainable, profitable expansion.
