What drove it
- Organic Daily Sales growth was driven primarily by price inflation in response to rising costs and commercial initiatives.
- Acquisitions contributed $49.2 million, or 3%, to Net sales growth.
- Gross margin expansion was driven primarily by higher price realization and continued benefits from commercial initiatives.
- The Company acquired the remaining 25% interest in Devil Mountain Wholesale Nursery.
Concerns
- Softer demand in the new residential construction and repair and upgrade end markets partially offset Organic Daily Sales growth.
- Higher freight and distribution costs and deflation in certain commodity products partially offset gross-margin improvement.
- SG&A as a percentage of Net sales increased 30 basis points due primarily to modest Organic Daily Sales growth and higher fuel cost.
- The Company estimates new residential construction is down high-single digits and repair and upgrade is down mid-single digits.
- The 53rd week is expected to reduce Adjusted EBITDA for the year by approximately $4 million to $5 million.
What to watch
- Whether price inflation and commercial initiatives sustain Organic Daily Sales growth of flat to up 1% for fiscal year 2026.
- Execution against the expectation to expand Gross margin and continue expanding Adjusted EBITDA margin in 2026.
- Whether operational initiatives offset lower sales volume and the negative effect of the extra week in December.
- The contribution from acquisitions, while fiscal-year guidance excludes contributions from unannounced acquisitions.

Analysis
SiteOne reported a solid second quarter, with Net sales increasing 5% to $1,530.7 million and Adjusted EBITDA increasing 5% to $237.2 million. The reported sales growth was supported by $49.2 million of acquisition contribution, while Organic Daily Sales increased 1%. Management attributed organic growth primarily to price inflation and commercial initiatives, with softer new residential construction and repair and upgrade demand partly offsetting those gains.
Profitability improved at the gross-profit line. Gross profit increased 6% to $564.5 million and gross margin improved 50 basis points to 36.9%, reflecting higher price realization and commercial initiatives. These benefits overcame higher freight and distribution costs and deflation in certain commodity products. SG&A rose to $370.7 million from $349.1 million, and SG&A as a percentage of Net sales increased 30 basis points to 24.2%, which management attributed to modest Organic Daily Sales growth and higher fuel costs.
Net income attributable to SiteOne increased 8% to $139.3 million. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 15.5%, flat with the prior-year period, indicating that gross-margin expansion was absorbed by SG&A deleverage. Cash provided by operating activities increased $16.5 million to $153.2 million. The Company reported net debt of $555.6 million, cash and cash equivalents of $87.4 million, and available ABL capacity of $443.0 million. It also amended its ABL Facility and extended maturity to April 2031.
Capital allocation included $93.8 million of share repurchases during the quarter and an additional $10.0 million post quarter, alongside the acquisition of the remaining 25% interest in Devil Mountain Wholesale Nursery. Management described acquisitions, led by Reinders, as continuing to perform well. Net debt to Adjusted EBITDA for the last twelve months was 1.3 times and unchanged from the prior-year period.
For fiscal year 2026, management continues to expect Organic Daily Sales growth to be flat to up 1%, gross-margin expansion, approximately flat SG&A as a percentage of Net sales, and continuing Adjusted EBITDA-margin expansion. Adjusted EBITDA guidance remains $425 million to $455 million, including an expected approximately $4 million to $5 million negative effect from the 53rd week. The outlook reflects management's expectation that challenging end-market trends, including high-single-digit declines in new residential construction and mid-single-digit declines in repair and upgrade, continue through the full year.
