Gibraltar Industries delivered Q4 adjusted net sales growth of 17% and expanded backlog by 102% while maintaining a 10.8% adjusted operating margin and generating $32 million free cash flow. The Feb. 2 OmniMax acquisition lifts residential revenue to over 80%, fueling guidance of $1.76–$1.83 billion net sales and $15 million in 2026 synergies.
1. Q4 Financial Performance
Gibraltar Industries reported a 17% increase in Q4 adjusted net sales and a 102% year-over-year backlog rise, driven by strong order intake across its segments. The company sustained a 10.8% adjusted operating margin in the quarter and generated $32 million in free cash flow, underscoring operational resilience amid a soft residential market.
2. OmniMax Acquisition Benefits
On February 2 the company closed its acquisition of OmniMax International, expanding its residential business to represent over 80% of projected 2026 revenue. This deal extends Gibraltar’s footprint to 70% of the top 80 U.S. metropolitan areas and is expected to deliver $24 million in total synergies, including $15 million boosting 2026 EBITDA through logistics and cross-selling.
3. 2026 Outlook and Deleveraging Plan
Gibraltar set full-year 2026 net sales guidance at $1.76–$1.83 billion, reflecting roughly 57% growth at the midpoint driven by the OmniMax integration and organic momentum. Although near-term EPS faces dilution from integration costs and a $1.3 billion debt facility, management outlined a 24-month roadmap to reduce the debt-to-EBITDA ratio to 2.5x.
