MasterBrand

MasterBrand reported adjusted earnings per share of $0.05 for Q2 on revenue of $815.2 million, well below the consensus estimate of $0.47, and the stock fell 14.9% after hours to $8.07. Margin pressure from weaker demand, a shift in the mix toward lower-priced products, and higher freight and material costs weighed on results; the merged company's adjusted EBITDA was $62.5 million (margin 7.7%). MasterBrand completed its merger with American Woodmark at the end of May, now expects more than $100 million in annual cost synergies by year three, and forecasts net sales of $2.05–2.11 billion and adjusted EBITDA of $129–149 million for the second half. Management sees no demand recovery in 2026 and plans cost-cutting and portfolio adjustments, while net debt remains at $1.15 billion. » Altro su de.investing.com
