Alliance Laundry (NYSE:ALH) Releases Earnings Results, Beats Expectations By $0.06 EPS

Alliance Laundry (NYSE:ALH) announced its quarterly earnings results on Tuesday. The company reported $0.38 earnings per share for the quarter, topping analysts’ consensus estimates of $0.32 by $0.06, Zacks reports. Alliance Laundry had a net margin of 10.08% and a return on equity of 81.92%. The firm had revenue of $460.92 million during the quarter.

Here are the key takeaways from Alliance Laundry’s conference call:

• Third-quarter revenue rose 5% to $461 million, while adjusted EBITDA increased 14% to $127 million and margin expanded 217 basis points to 27.5%. Results included a $5 million tariff refund; excluding it, adjusted EBITDA still grew about 10%.
• Alliance raised its full-year adjusted EBITDA growth outlook to approximately 10%, the high end of its prior range, while maintaining revenue growth guidance of 6%–7%. The company expects continued cost pressure in Q4, particularly from steel, and says tariff refunds received through Q3 will not recur in that quarter.
• North America revenue grew 8%, led by Commercial In-Home and On-Premise Laundry, with segment adjusted EBITDA up 21%. Vended results were affected by permitting and construction delays, which management characterized as timing-related, with underlying demand remaining strong.
• International revenue declined 1%, partly due to foreign currency translation, while adjusted EBITDA rose and margin improved. Regional results varied: Latin America was solid, Europe steady, and Asia Pacific softer due to project timing.
• Alliance paid down $45 million of debt in the quarter and repurchased $75 million of shares; net leverage ended Q3 at 2.25 times. Management says deleveraging remains a priority, while future capital allocation could also include business investment or further buybacks.
