Advanced Drainage Systems has reorganized its reportable segments following the acquisition of NDS, replacing the former Infiltrator segment with the segments "Stormwater" and "Wastewater." At the same time, the company changed the profitability metric for segments from adjusted gross profit to adjusted EBITDA; historical segment results for 2024–2026 were adjusted accordingly. The realignment has no impact on consolidated net sales, operating income, net income attributable to shareholders, or earnings per share, and the updated segment data are unaudited and available in the 8‑K attachment. The company also reported strong Q4 2026 results (EPS $1.07 vs. $0.95 expected; revenue $677m vs. $652m expected), despite a premarket share price decline. » Mere på de.investing.com
