Peter Arvan, president and CEO of Pool Corporation, discussed the company’s performance and outlook during earnings calls from 2025 into 2026. In the first quarter of 2026, he noted that equipment sales exceeded expectations, which diluted consolidated gross margins due to a higher mix of that product category, and he described the growth as a "pleasant surprise." He also referenced an upcoming investor day in May 2026 where the executive team would cover strategic initiatives and long-term financial outlook. In earlier calls, Arvan attributed softer guidance for 2025 to the absence of anticipated interest rate cuts, which he said weighed on new pool construction, while maintenance spending on the existing installed base remained resilient. He estimated that just under 50,000 new pools were built in the U.S. in 2025, a mid-single-digit decline from the prior year, and expected 2026 to be close to that level. Arvan also addressed operational topics, including the impact of tariffs on equipment costs, noting that major vendors implemented in-season price increases of 3 to 4% in April 2025, which the company passed through to customers. He discussed the company’s investments in technology and digital tools, such as water testing software and private-label chemicals, saying these offerings support dealer competitiveness and are margin-accretive. On new construction, he stated that larger renovation projects were being phased to make them more affordable and that housing turnover, rather than new builds, was driving activity. He expressed cautious optimism about dealer sentiment, saying phones were ringing and customers were not planning major reductions in pool construction, though volumes remained well below pandemic-era peaks.
