Kevin Holleran, president and CEO of Hayward Holdings, discussed the company's performance and market position in several interviews and earnings calls following its public debut in March 2021. He stated that demand for pool equipment remained robust, attributing this to the COVID-19 pandemic reinforcing consumer interest in outdoor living and healthy lifestyles. Holleran noted that approximately 75% of the company's revenue is tied to the installed base of existing pools, which he described as a reliable, non-discretionary revenue stream, while new construction adds to that base. He also acknowledged supply chain and inflation headwinds, mentioning that the company had implemented an off-cycle price increase in early 2021 to address rising costs for commodities, raw materials, freight, and logistics. In the company's first-quarter 2021 earnings call, Holleran reported record net sales growth of 96% year over year and adjusted EBITDA growth of approximately 200%. He provided full-year 2021 guidance for net sales growth of 40 to 45% year over year and adjusted EBITDA of $360 to $390 million, reflecting 55 to 68% growth. Holleran also highlighted efforts to expand production capacity, particularly for salt chlorine generators, and discussed the company's HydraPure product, a UV and ozone combination that he said can reduce chlorine usage by up to 50% when paired with chlorination. He emphasized the company's focus on innovation and product line expansion as key drivers of future growth.
