HARVEY, Ill. — Atkore Inc. (the “Company” or “Atkore”) announced earnings for its fiscal 2026 first quarter ended December 26, 2025.
“Atkore’s first quarter results were above our expectations in several areas of the business,” said Bill Waltz, Atkore President and Chief Executive Officer. “We are pleased to highlight that our results include both volume growth and productivity gains. In addition, during the quarter we divested our Tectron mechanical tube product line which is another action taken as part of our broader review of strategic alternatives. This divestiture helps Atkore focus on its core electrical infrastructure portfolio.”

The decrease in net sales is primarily attributed to decreased average selling prices across the Company’s products of $18.1 million and the impact of divestitures in fiscal 2025 of $5.2 million, partially offset by increased sales volume of $15.3 million.

Gross margin decreased to 19.2% for the three months ended December 26, 2025, as compared to 25.9% for the prior-year period. Gross profit decreased primarily due to declines in average selling prices of $18.1 million and increased input costs of $25.3 million.
Net income decreased by $31.3 million, or 67.6%, to $15.0 million for the three months ended December 26, 2025 compared to $46.3 million of net income for the prior-year period primarily due to lower gross profit of $45.2 million and increased selling, general and administrative expense of $8.1 million partially offset by lower income tax expense of $11.8 million and lower intangible amortization of $5.4 million.
Adjusted EBITDA decreased by $30.0 million, or 30.3%, to $69.1 million for the three months ended December 26, 2025 compared to $99.1 million for the three months ended December 27, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to lower gross profit.
Net income per diluted share prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) was $0.44 for the three months ended December 26, 2025, as compared to $1.31 in the prior-year period. Adjusted net income per diluted share decreased by $0.80 to $0.83 for the three months ended December 26, 2025, as compared to $1.63 in the prior year period. The decrease in diluted earnings per share is primarily attributed to lower net income in the quarter.
