How this was made
The 30-second read
Why it matters
The filing provides a complete earnings-and-guidance package: record backlog and orders growth, improved profitability metrics, updated leverage and credit facility capacity, and a repricing of debt that lowers interest expense.
Market read
Traders can update MAIR’s forward revenue and Adjusted EBITDA expectations immediately based on the raised guidance ranges and the record backlog/orders momentum.
What to watch
Net leverage is still 2.8x and free cash flow is below operating cash flow; traders may scrutinize whether guidance depends on continued backlog conversion and acquisition integration.
Net sales of $991.3 million, up 21%, and adjusted EBITDA of $265.8 million, up 18%; full-year net sales guidance raised to $3,825 to $3,925 million.
Commercial demand, orders and backlog were strong, while Residential reported organic sales declines and adjusted EBITDA margin declined year-over-year.

Analysis
Madison Air reported second-quarter net sales of $ 991.3 million, up 21%, and net income of $ 70.5 million, up 129%. Adjusted EBITDA increased 18% to $ 265.8 million, although adjusted EBITDA margin declined to 26.8 % from 27.5 %. The company also reported adjusted net income of $ 147.7 million, up 71%, and adjusted EPS of 0.31 versus 0.24 in the prior-year quarter.
Commercial was the principal organic growth engine. Segment net sales increased 23.8% to $ 658.9 million, including 22.3% organic growth, led by cooling, custom air handling and air movement solutions. Commercial orders increased 45% on a combined basis, while backlog reached $2,868.4 million, up 133% year-over-year on a combined basis. Commercial growth was partly offset by modest volume declines in commercial dehumidification.
Residential net sales rose 16.2% to $ 333.8 million, but organic sales declined 4.8% as modest volume declines in professional-distribution ventilation solutions more than offset price increases. Acquisitions contributed $56.4 million, or 19.6%, of Residential sales growth. Residential adjusted EBITDA increased $25.9 million, with $21.8 million contributed by acquisitions; excluding the AprilAire Acquisition, adjusted EBITDA increased $4.1 million on productivity, pricing and favorable net tariff impacts, partly offset by lower volume.
Cash generation was lower than the prior-year quarter, with cash from operating activities of $ 98.6 million and free cash flow of $ 89.6 million, versus $ 105.5 million and $ 102.0 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, free cash flow was $ 140.0 million. The company ended the quarter with $261.8 million of cash and cash equivalents, $3,053.7 million of total debt, $1,294.3 million of revolving-facility availability and net leverage of 2.8x.
Management raised full-year net sales guidance to $3,825 to $3,925 million from $3,750 to $3,850 million. Adjusted EBITDA guidance remained $1,020 to $1,065 million. The reporting period therefore combines strong Commercial demand visibility and a raised sales outlook with a lower adjusted EBITDA margin, lower quarterly cash flow and organic volume pressure in Residential.
Management, verbatim
We delivered double-digit net sales growth, strong orders momentum and record backlog across a diverse set of end markets.
Jill Wyant, President and CEO
The combination of strong first-half execution, continued customer demand and the visibility provided by our backlog gives us confidence to raise our full-year outlook.

AlphaAI analysis generated from the company’s SEC earnings filing (Form 8-K Item 2.02, or Form 6-K for a foreign private issuer). Every figure was cross-checked against the filing text; consensus estimates, price targets and share-price reactions are not shown because they are not in the filing. AI-generated research, not investment advice.
Background
This is an SEC Form 8-K (Item 2.02) with Madison Air’s 2Q 2026 operating results, backlog/orders updates, and updated full-year guidance following its IPO and AprilAire acquisition.
Ticker impact
Madison Air reported 2Q 2026 results and raised full-year pro forma net sales guidance to $3,825 to $3,925 million.
Likely positive bias for MAIR as traders price higher full-year revenue and Adjusted EBITDA ranges, assuming no offsetting margin or leverage concerns.
The filing includes multiple fresh, decision-relevant datapoints: 2Q net sales and net income growth, record backlog up 133% YoY, and explicit raised full-year guidance ranges alongside leverage and interest expense updates.
Market effects
Air quality solutions and HVAC-adjacent demand signals may support sentiment toward commercial and residential air systems providers.
Limited direct regional read-through; company-specific execution and backlog visibility dominate.
Primarily US-focused end markets (commercial and residential applications), with limited global macro linkage.
Counterpoint
Pro forma and combined-basis presentation (including acquisition accounting) may overstate underlying organic momentum, and Adjusted EBITDA margin is slightly lower year over year.
