Quarterly Report for Quarter Ending June 30, 2026 (Form 10-Q)

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Carlisle Companies Incorporated ("Carlisle," the "Company," "we," "us" or "our") is a leading supplier of innovative building envelope products and solutions for more energy efficient buildings. Through our building products businesses, Carlisle Construction Materials ("CCM") and Carlisle Weatherproofing Technologies ("CWT"), and family of leading brands, we deliver innovative, labor-reducing and environmentally responsible products and solutions to customers through the Carlisle Experience. Carlisle is committed to generating superior stockholder returns and maintaining a balanced capital deployment approach, including investments in our businesses, strategic acquisitions, share repurchases, and continued dividend increases.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ("MD&A") is designed to provide a reader of our financial statements with a narrative from the perspective of Company management. All references to "Notes" refer to our Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Executive Overview
Our second quarter results reflect the Carlisle team's relentless focus on execution and operational discipline in a challenging macroeconomic environment. We delivered revenue of $1.6 billion, up 8% year-over-year, and diluted earnings per share of $6.36, up 8%. Our teams drove above-market growth in both CCM and CWT through continued execution of our strategic growth initiatives. We focused on the factors within our control: swift pricing actions, disciplined cost management, and continued progress on innovation. We remain committed to advancing our Vision 2030 strategy through organic growth, bolt-on acquisitions, margin expansion, increased free cash flow, and disciplined capital allocation.
Our revenue was driven by above-market volume growth from continued execution of strategic initiatives, solid re-roofing demand, and customer pre-buying ahead of announced price increases. Our margin performance remained resilient despite continued market headwinds, reflecting the benefits of our operational efficiency initiatives and our unwavering commitment to operational excellence. At CCM, operating margin was 28.6% and adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") margin was 30.7%, and at CWT, operating margin was 10.7% and adjusted EBITDA margin was 19.0%, each in line with our expectations, even as elevated input costs outpaced pricing realization during the quarter. Notably, CWT's adjusted EBITDA margin improved 380 basis points compared to the prior quarter, aided by our investments in automation, manufacturing consolidation, and the expansion of in-house expanded polystyrene resin capacity, which all continued to gain traction.
The most significant, and well-understood, external challenge in the quarter was the rapid rise in petroleum-derived raw material and freight costs driven by the conflict in the Middle East. We acted decisively to recover our costs through freight surcharges and broad-based price increases across CCM and CWT, implemented in April and July, with a third increase taking effect in August. As we have experienced in prior raw material inflationary cycles, pricing realization typically lags cost inflation, and we expect the benefit of our pricing actions to build through the second half of 2026 and into 2027.
We also continued to advance our innovation pipeline to support our Vision 2030 objectives. We have launched roughly half of our planned new products for 2026, highlighted by the first commercial shipment of our award-winning ThermaThin 7 polyiso insulation. ThermaThin 7 enables thinner roof assemblies, lower freight costs from fewer truckloads, and superior cold weather thermal performance. We remain on track to introduce the balance of this year's new products and continue to invest in our research and innovation center to support long-term growth.
Our strong balance sheet continues to support our balanced and disciplined approach to capital allocation. During the quarter, we repurchased $250 million of shares, and we have increased our full-year target for repurchases to $1.2 billion. Our M&A framework remains unchanged: disciplined, synergistic building envelope acquisitions that enhance our systems offering, increase content per square foot, and meet our strict returns criteria.
Based on our first-half performance, continued momentum in our strategic growth initiatives, and the pricing actions we have taken to date, we are raising our full-year 2026 revenue outlook to mid-single-digit growth with operating and adjusted EBITDA margins approximately flat. This outlook reflects disciplined execution, partial recovery of higher raw material and freight costs, and easier comparisons. It does not assume a near-term recovery in new construction markets. With the strength of our imperative business model, resilient re-roofing demand, and our leadership position in North America, we remain confident in our path to our Vision 2030 financial objectives.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We believe that our current cash reserves, available credit facilities, and anticipated operating cash flows are adequate to meet our short-term projected business requirements for at least the next 12 months and our long-term financial requirements, including the repayment of outstanding principal balances on existing notes by their respective maturity dates.
Additional sources of liquidity may be obtained through access to the capital markets, subject to market conditions. The Company may consider such access for general corporate purposes that include the repayment of outstanding debt, additions to working capital, capital expenditures, investments in our subsidiaries, acquisitions, investments in third parties or the repurchase, redemption or retirement of securities, including our common stock. For further details regarding long-term debt, refer to Note 9.
Management retains discretion over the allocation of available cash and may deploy resources toward capital expenditures, acquisitions, strategic investments, dividends, or share repurchases.

Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities for the first six months of 2026 was $197.1 million, compared to $288.9 million for the first six months of 2025. The $91.8 million decrease was primarily driven by lower income from continuing operations, excluding non-cash reconciling items, of $11.0 million, and a $125 million post-year-end settlement of an accrued liability related to a transferable energy tax credit acquired in 2025. These decreases were partially offset by larger increases in accrued incentive compensation of $9.5 million, accrued rebates and commissions of $11.2 million driven by higher sales, and accrued taxes of $22.2 million related to the timing of other transferable energy tax credit acquisitions and related payments.
Net working capital requirements for the first six months of 2026 were generally consistent with the prior year. Higher investments in accounts receivable of $72.4 million driven by increased sales volume and inventory of $28.9 million driven by higher raw material costs were offset by a $106.1 million larger increase in accounts payable resulting from the timing and cost of raw material and freight purchases.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities of $69.7 million for the first six months of 2026 primarily reflected capital expenditures of $70.0 million. Cash used in investing activities of $165.9 million for the first six months of 2025 primarily reflected the purchases of ThermaFoam for $52.9 million and Bonded Logic for $57.7 million, and capital expenditures of $57.8 million.
Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities of $573.8 million in the first six months of 2026 primarily reflected share repurchases of $500.0 million and cash dividend payments of $90.1 million. Cash used in financing activities of $808.9 million in the first six months of 2025 primarily reflected share repurchases of $700.0 million and cash dividend payments of $88.3 million.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
EBIT, Adjusted EBIT, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin
Earnings before interest and taxes ("EBIT"), adjusted EBIT, adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") and adjusted EBITDA margin are intended to provide investors and others with information about our performance and our segments' performance without the effect of items that, by their nature, tend to obscure core operating results due to potential variability across periods based on the timing, frequency and magnitude of such items. As a result, management believes that these measures enhance the ability of investors to analyze trends in our business and evaluate our performance relative to similarly-situated companies. This information differs from net income, operating income, and operating margin determined in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance determined in accordance with GAAP. Our and our segments' EBIT, adjusted EBIT, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin follows. These non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
