Todd Adams, Chairman and CEO of Zurn Elkay Water Solutions, discussed the company’s second-quarter 2026 results during an earnings call on July 28, 2026. He noted that higher-margin platforms, including water safety and control, drinking water, and flow systems, continued to outperform, with water safety and drinking water growing slightly above flow systems, while hygienic and environmental platforms remained positive. Adams also addressed the company’s outlook, stating that the compounding benefit of prior price increases would lessen in the second half of the year, though unit volume growth remained solid, and he indicated that fourth-quarter guidance would be updated at the next earnings announcement. Adams expressed confidence in the company’s long-term growth, citing a clear path to double-digit return on invested capital within three years. He projected that the Intellah platform could become a $100 million business with a 30% EBITDA margin in the next five to six years. Additionally, he highlighted the company’s increased anticipated EBITDA margins and free cash flow, which at the midpoint equated to 140 basis points of margin expansion year-over-year.
