Trex Company, Inc. (NYSE:TREX), the world’s largest manufacturer of wood-alternative composite decking and railing, and a leader in high-performance, low-maintenance outdoor living products, today announced financial results for the second quarter of 2026.

"I’m pleased to report that Trex is delivering strong results from disciplined execution against our strategic priorities. We are returning to stronger top-line growth, while also upgrading our distribution network and accelerating the timing of our Arkansas capacity expansion to further strengthen our market position and drive long-term growth," said Adam Zambanini, President and CEO. "At the same time, we are also seeing improved consumer demand trends, with broad-based demand across categories and price points.

"During the quarter, we saw particularly strong demand for our entry-level Trex Enhance® decking, reflecting the success of our marketing efforts to drive conversion from wood to composite decking. Wood conversion remains a key long-term growth opportunity, and the improvement in consumer demand is enabling us to accelerate the ramp-up of decking production in our Arkansas facility by more than six months to the third quarter of 2026. As our most efficient manufacturing site, Arkansas strengthens our ability to serve high-growth Sunbelt markets and supports our strategy to accelerate wood conversion.

"We also recently enhanced our distribution model. The transition is tracking to plan with inventory levels at distributors already at desired levels.

"Together, our accelerated Arkansas expansion and upgraded distribution network strengthens our competitive position, supports long-term growth, and advances our goal of achieving $2 billion in annual sales by 2030," Mr. Zambanini said.

Q2 2026 Financial Summary

All financial results comparisons made are against the prior-year period unless otherwise noted:

Net sales increased 8% to $418 million from $388 million in the prior year period, reflecting broad-based strength across product categories, price points, and distribution channels. Growth was driven primarily by volume, with pricing contributing minimally to the increase.

Gross profit was $158 million, with gross margin of 37.9%, compared to gross profit of $158 million and gross margin of 40.8% in the prior year period. There were no adjustments to gross profit this quarter. Excluding approximately $2.7 million of adjustments, prior-year adjusted gross profit was $161 million. As anticipated, gross margin was impacted by a higher mix of railing sales, increased depreciation expense associated with the Arkansas facility, and temporary production inefficiencies driven by uneven demand patterns during the quarter, with lower utilization early in the period followed by stronger than expected order activity during the final month, driving increased utilization. We anticipate utilization to improve going forward due to strong order activity in July.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses were $67 million, representing 16.1% of net sales, compared to $56 million, or 14.4% of net sales in the prior year. Excluding digital transformation costs and Arkansas facility start-up expenses of $1.7 million in 2026 and $1.1 million in 2025, SG&A was $66 million compared to $55 million in the prior year period. The increase primarily reflects investments in capabilities and continued investment in branding and marketing programs to accelerate consumer demand and support future growth.

Net income was $62 million, or $0.60 per diluted share, compared to net income of $76 million, or $0.71 per diluted share in the prior year. Adjusted net income was $63 million, with adjusted diluted EPS of $0.62, compared to adjusted net income of $79 million with adjusted diluted earnings per share of $0.73, in the prior-year period. Adjusted EPS includes a negative impact of approximately $0.03 related to a $5 million non-cash write-down of obsolete equipment. Adjusted EBITDA was $112 million, compared to $122 million in the prior year period.

Free cash flow for the quarter was $182 million, reflecting the seasonal benefit of working capital and lower capital expenditures as the Arkansas facility approaches full completion. During the quarter, the Company repurchased approximately $51 million in shares and repaid $130 million outstanding under its revolving credit facility. In July, the Board of Directors approved up to $150 million in share repurchases during the back half of the year, underscoring the Company's confidence in its outlook, strong cash generation, and commitment to creating long-term shareholder value.

New Developments & Recognitions

Named to TIME’s "America’s Best Companies 2026" list – the only decking brand recognized – ranking among the Top 100 Sustainable Engineering, Manufacturing & Medical Technology Companies for excellence in financial performance, employee satisfaction, and sustainability.

Increased brand visibility across premium golf, lifestyle, and outdoor living audiences through sponsorships of the American Century Championship and Golf Channel’s Big Break x Good Good.

Summary & Outlook

"The combination of disciplined execution and strengthening consumer demand is translating into improved business performance and greater confidence in our outlook, supporting our recent increase to full-year 2026 net sales and adjusted EBITDA guidance," said Prith Gandhi, Senior Vice President and CFO.

"At the same time, the accelerated ramp-up of decking production at our Arkansas facility is strengthening our foundation for future growth. As our most efficient and lowest-cost manufacturing site, Arkansas is expected to become an increasingly important driver of margin expansion as demand grows and utilization increases. The facility also provides critical capacity to support our goal of achieving $2 billion in annual sales by 2030.

"Additionally, we continue to generate significant free cash flow as our multi-year capital investment program nears completion. This financial strength allows us to reduce leverage while returning capital to shareholders through share repurchases, consistent with our disciplined and balanced capital allocation strategy," Gandhi concluded.

The Company is reaffirming its recently raised full year 2026 guidance, shown in the table below, with revenue ranging from $1.215 billion to $1.25 billion and adjusted EBITDA ranging from $335 million to $350 million.

The Company is also providing third quarter revenue guidance in the range of $305 to $320 million.

Trex has not provided a reconciliation of forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, because certain items required for such reconciliation are outside of Trex’s control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted without unreasonable efforts. The probable significance of these items cannot be determined at this time.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

The Company reports its financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). To supplement our consolidated financial statements reported on a GAAP basis, we provide the following non-GAAP financial measures, adjusted gross profit, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per share, earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with additional meaningful financial information that should be considered when assessing our underlying business performance and trends. Further, management believes these non-GAAP financial measures also enhance investors’ ability to compare period-to-period financial results. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, the Company’s reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP and are not meant to be considered superior to or a substitute for our GAAP results. Our non-GAAP financial measures do not represent a comprehensive basis of accounting. Therefore, our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP information are included below. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in making financial, operating, compensation and planning decisions and in evaluating the Company’s performance. Disclosing these non-GAAP financial measures allows investors and management to view our operating results excluding the impact of items that are not reflective of the underlying operating performance.
