Acuity Brands reports FY2026 revenue of $4.64 B, Q4 adjusted EPS $5.77 and raises FY2027 guidance
Acuity Brands announced fiscal 2026 net sales of $4.6418 billion, up 6.8% year‑over‑year, with fourth‑quarter net sales of $1.2444 billion, up 2.9%. Adjusted diluted earnings per share were $19.90 for the full year and $5.77 for Q4. The intelligent‑spaces segment drove growth, while lighting sales fell 0.4%. Management provided FY2027 revenue guidance of $4.7 billion‑$4.9 billion and adjusted EPS guidance of $20.50‑$22.00, and noted full repayment of the QSC acquisition debt.
Why it matters
The company expects the FY2027 guidance to signal continued top‑line growth and higher earnings, supporting its dividend increase and share‑repurchase program (the company repurchased $287 million of shares in FY2026). Full debt repayment removes financing risk and may improve future cash‑flow flexibility.
