Properties, in its own words

The Company’s corporate headquarters is located on leased premises in Charlotte, North Carolina. We own four of our seven global manufacturing facilities and one of our five global distribution facilities. All the other facilities are leased, except for four locations operated by third-party logistics providers, which are provided under service agreements.

Most of our leases contain renewal options, some of which involve rent increases. In addition to minimum rental payments, which are set at competitive rates, certain leases require reimbursement for taxes, maintenance and insurance. We do not believe that any single lease is material to our operations.

Risk factors and legal proceedings

The risks Hayward Industries names in Item 1A of its 10-K filed Feb 25, 2026: 51 risks under these headings, as written.6

  • In addition to the risks stated elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, set forth below are certain risk factors that we believe are material. If any of these risks occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and reputation could be harmed. You should also consider these risk factors when you read forward-looking statements elsewhere in this report.
  • Risks Related to Our Business
  • Risks Related to the Manufacturing, Supply and Distribution of Our Products
  • Risks Related to Government Regulation
  • Risks Related to Intellectual Property Matters
  • Risks Related to Our Indebtedness
  • Risks Related to Our Corporate Structure
  • Risks Related to Ownership of Common Stock
  • Our business depends on the performance of distributors, builders, buying groups, retailers and servicers.
  • The demand for our products may be adversely affected by unfavorable economic and business conditions.
  • We operate in markets with high levels of competition, which may result in pressure on our profit margins and limit our ability to maintain or increase the market share of our products.
  • Our future success depends on developing, manufacturing and attaining market adoption of new products and maintaining product quality and reliability. Even if we attain significant market acceptance of our planned or future products, the commercial success of these products is not guaranteed.
The other 46 risks
  • Our ability to keep pace with rapidly evolving technological developments, including AI technologies, and to effectively develop, deploy and manage such technologies could adversely affect our competitiveness, increase our costs and expose us to regulatory scrutiny, liability and reputational risk.
  • Our results of operations and cash flows may fluctuate from quarter to quarter for many reasons, including seasonality and weather conditions.
  • A loss of, or material cancellation, reduction or delay in purchases by, one or more of our largest customers could harm our business.
  • We are exposed to credit risk on our accounts receivable, and this risk is heightened during periods of weak economic conditions.
  • We are exposed to political, regulatory, economic, trade and other risks arising from our international operations, including risks associated with geopolitical conflicts.
  • Past growth may not be indicative of future growth.
  • We may not be able to identify, finance and complete suitable acquisitions, and any completed acquisitions may be unsuccessful or consume significant resources.
  • We may be negatively impacted by litigation and other claims, including intellectual property, product liability or warranty claims, and health and safety matters, including product recalls.
  • We have significant goodwill and intangible assets, and future impairment of our goodwill and intangible assets could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
  • Exchange rate fluctuations could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
  • Changes in our effective tax rate or exposure to additional income tax liabilities could adversely affect our financial results.
  • We may experience cost increases and other inflation.
  • We depend on our ability to attract, develop, and retain highly qualified personnel, including key members of management.
  • Disruptions in the financial markets could adversely affect us, our customers, consumers and suppliers by increasing funding costs or reducing the availability of credit.
  • We rely on information technology systems to support our business operations, and a significant disruption or breach of our technological infrastructure, or that of our vendors or other third parties, could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and reputation. In addition, a failure to maintain the security of confidential information could expose us to litigation and regulatory action.
  • Difficulties in operating or implementing a new ERP system or human resources information system could adversely affect our operations and financial reporting.
  • Misuse of our technology-enabled products could lead to reduced sales, increased costs, liability claims or harm to our reputation.
  • If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls, our ability to produce timely and accurate financial statements or comply with applicable regulations could be impaired.
  • We depend on suppliers, including single-source suppliers, and, in certain cases, sole-source suppliers, to provide components used in our products, and any failure to obtain such components could have a material adverse effect on our business, product inventories, sales and profit margins.
  • If we or our customers do not manage product inventory in an effective and efficient manner, our profitability could be adversely affected.
  • Product manufacturing disruptions, including as a result of catastrophic or other events beyond our control, could prevent us from meeting customer demand or increase our costs.
  • Tariffs and other trade restrictions could adversely affect our business and financial results, we face uncertainties regarding duty reduction and deferral programs, and we may not be able to implement strategies to offset impacts resulting from such tariffs.
  • The cost of raw materials could increase our cost of goods sold and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
  • The nature of our business subjects us to compliance with, and potential liabilities under, employment, environmental, health, transportation, safety, and other governmental laws and regulations.
  • Our handling of personal information could give rise to significant costs and liabilities, including as a result of governmental regulation, which may have a material adverse effect on our reputation, business, financial condition and results of operations.
  • Our employees, commercial partners and vendors may engage in misconduct or other improper activities, including noncompliance with regulatory standards and requirements.
  • Violations of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the U.K. Bribery Act and other anti-corruption laws could have a material adverse effect on us.
  • Our failure to comply with international trade compliance regulations and changes in U.S. government sanctions, could have a material adverse effect on us.
  • Changes in laws, regulations, government policies or regulatory interpretations could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operation.
  • Climate change and legal or regulatory responses thereto may have an adverse impact on our business and results of operations.
  • There is increasing scrutiny from stakeholders on environmental, social and other sustainability matters.
  • If we are unable to adequately obtain, maintain and enforce our intellectual property and proprietary rights, or if we are accused of infringing, misappropriating or otherwise violating the intellectual property of others, our competitive position could be harmed, or we could be required to incur significant costs to enforce or defend such rights.
  • If our trademarks and trade names are not adequately protected, we may be unable to build name recognition in our markets, and third parties could assert trademark infringement claims against us.
  • We rely on access to intellectual property owned by third parties, and our ability to develop and commercialize certain products depends on the terms of licenses granted to us by such parties.
  • We may be subject to claims that our employees, consultants or advisors have wrongfully used or disclosed trade secrets or other proprietary information of their current or former employers, or claims asserting ownership of intellectual property that we regard as our own.
  • We may not be able to effectively enforce our intellectual property rights in all jurisdictions.
  • Our indebtedness could adversely affect our financial condition.
  • Servicing our debt requires a significant amount of cash, and we may be unable to generate sufficient cash flow to meet our debt service obligations.
  • The terms of our indebtedness restrict our current and future operations, particularly our ability to respond to change or to take certain actions.
  • Because our operations are conducted through our subsidiaries, we depend on distributions and other payments from our subsidiaries to fund our operations and expenses.
  • Despite our existing indebtedness, we may incur additional debt, which could increase the risks described herein, and we may also require additional capital that may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all.
  • Risks Related to our Corporate Structure
  • Provisions in our certificate of incorporation, bylaws and Delaware law may deter takeover efforts that stockholders may believe to be beneficial to stockholder value.
  • Our certificate of incorporation designates specific courts as the exclusive forum for certain claims, which could discourage lawsuits against the Company and our directors and officers.
  • Risks Related to Ownership of Our Common Stock
  • Future sales of our common stock, or the perception that such sales may occur, may depress the market price of our common stock.
  • The market price of our common stock has been, and may continue to be, volatile, and the value of an investment in our common stock could decline.
  • Our capital allocation decisions, including share repurchases, may not enhance stockholder value and could adversely affect our liquidity, financial flexibility and the market price of our common stock.

Legal proceedings

In addition to the matters discussed in this report and in the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements, from time to time, we are subject to, and are presently involved in, other litigation and legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. These proceedings may relate to commercial or contractual disputes with suppliers, customers or parties to acquisitions and divestitures, intellectual property matters, product liability, the use or installation of our products, consumer matters, employment and labor matters, and environmental, safety and health matters, including claims based on alleged exposure to asbestos-containing product components. Where appropriate, these matters have been submitted to the Company’s insurance carriers. While the outcome of such matters cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not currently believe that the resolution of such other litigation and legal proceedings will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
