OPERATIONS AND PRODUCTS
Trex is the world’s largest manufacturer of high-performance composite decking and railing products and a leader in outdoor living products, which are marketed under the brand name Trex® and manufactured in the United States. With more than 30 years of product experience, we offer a comprehensive set of aesthetically appealing and durable, low-maintenance product offerings in the decking, railing, fencing and outdoor lighting categories. A majority of the products are eco-friendly and leverage recycled and reclaimed materials to the extent possible. Trex decking is made in a proprietary process that combines reclaimed wood fibers and recycled polyethylene film, making Trex one of the largest recyclers of plastic film in North America. In addition to resisting fading and surface staining, Trex products require no sanding and sealing, resist moisture damage, provide a splinter-free surface and do not require chemical treatment against rot or insect infestation. Combined, these aspects yield significant aesthetic advantages and lower maintenance than wood decking and railing and ultimately render Trex products less costly than wood over the life of the deck. Special characteristics (including resistance to splitting, the ability to bend, and ease and consistency of machining and finishing)

*A reconciliation of Net Income (GAAP) to EBITDA (non-GAAP) is presented on pages 20 and 21 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q under “Net Income and Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA).”
Capital expenditures. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, our capital expenditures were $57.3 million primarily related to $20.0 million for the Arkansas manufacturing facility, $6.5 million in cost reduction initiatives, $4.5 million for our ERP tool and other platforms, and $26.3 million in all other including capacity expansion in our existing facilities.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
General. Our results of operations are affected by a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the cost to manufacture and distribute products, cost of raw materials, inflation, interest rates, tariffs, consumer spending and preferences, the impact of any supply chain disruptions, economic conditions, and any adverse effects from global health pandemics and geopolitical conflicts.
Conflict with Iran. To date, U.S. and Israel's conflict with Iran has not materially affected our business or our results of operations. We will continue to closely monitor the potential economic impact of the conflict on commodity and fuel prices, supply chains, pricing of raw materials, and its impact on consumer confidence. We cannot predict the impact continued conflict may have on the economy, our industry, or our business.
Net Sales. Net sales consist of sales, net of discounts. The level of net sales is principally affected by sales volume and the prices paid for Trex products. Trex operating results have historically varied from quarter to quarter. Seasonal, erratic or prolonged adverse weather conditions in certain geographic regions reduce the level of home and commercial improvement and residential and commercial construction and can shift sales of our products to a later period or decrease overall sales in affected locations. As part of our normal business practice and consistent with industry practice, we have historically provided our distributors and dealers of our Trex products incentives to build inventory levels before the start of the prime deck-building season to ensure adequate availability of our product to meet anticipated seasonal consumer demand and to enable production planning. These incentives include payment discounts, favorable payment terms, price discounts, or volume rebates on specified products and other incentives based on increases in purchases as part of specific promotional programs. The timing of our incentive programs can significantly impact sales, receivables and inventory levels during the offering period.
Gross Profit. Gross profit represents the difference between net sales and cost of sales. Cost of sales consists of raw material costs, direct labor costs, manufacturing costs, subcontract costs and freight. Raw material costs generally include the costs to purchase and transport reclaimed wood fiber, reclaimed polyethylene, pigmentation for coloring our products, and commodities used in the production of railing and staging. Direct labor costs include wages and benefits of personnel engaged in the manufacturing process. Manufacturing costs consist of costs of depreciation, utilities, maintenance supplies and repairs, indirect labor, including wages and benefits, and warehouse and equipment rental activities.
Less than 5% of our cost of sales is projected to be impacted by tariffs. The majority of tariffs are related to purchases of aluminum and steel used in our railing and fastening products. We have and will further mitigate some of the impact on our cost of sales through higher levels of existing pre-tariff inventory and supplier negotiations.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. The largest component of selling, general and administrative expenses is personnel related costs, which includes salaries, commissions, incentive compensation, and benefits of personnel engaged in sales and marketing, accounting, information technology, corporate operations, research and development, and other business functions. Another component of selling, general and administrative expenses is branding and other sales and marketing costs, which are used to build brand awareness. These costs consist primarily of advertising, merchandising, and other promotional costs. Other general and administrative expenses include professional fees, office occupancy costs attributable to the business functions previously referenced, and consumer relations expenses. As a percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses may vary from quarter to quarter due, in part, to the seasonality of our business.
Below is the discussion and analysis of our operating results and material changes in our operating results for the three months ended June 30, 2026 (2026 quarter) compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025 (2025 quarter), and for the six months ended June 30, 2026 (2026 six-month period) compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025 (2025 six-month period).

__________________________
1EBITDA represents net income before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). We have included data with respect to EBITDA because management believes it facilitates performance comparison between the Company and its competitors. Management considers EBITDA to be an important supplemental indicator of our core operating performance because it eliminates interest, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization charges to net income or loss. In relation to competitors, EBITDA eliminates differences among companies in capitalization and tax structures, capital investment cycles and ages of related assets. For these reasons, management believes that EBITDA provides important information regarding the operating performance of the Company. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, the Company’s reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP and are not meant to be considered superior to or a substitute for our GAAP results.

Total EBITDA decreased 3.1% to $207.4 million for the 2026 six-month period compared to $214.1 million for the 2025 six-month period. The decrease in EBITDA was driven primarily by lower gross profit and the write down of assets.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We finance operations and growth primarily with cash flows from operations, borrowings under our revolving credit facilities, operating leases and normal trade credit terms from operating activities. At June 30, 2026, we had $6.5 million of cash and cash equivalents.
Sources and Uses of Cash. The following table summarizes our cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities (in thousands):
Six Months Ended June 30,
2026 2025
Net cash provided by operating activities $ 95,740 $ 95,739
Net cash used in investing activities (57,198 ) (130,987 )
Net cash used in (provided by) financing activities (35,874 ) 39,479
Net increase in cash and cash equivalents $ 2,668 $ 4,231
Operating Activities
Cash provided by operations was $95.7 million during the 2026 six-month period compared to cash provided by operations of $95.7 million during the 2025 six-month period. Accounts receivable increased more during the six months ended June 30, 2026 than during the comparable prior-year period, primarily due to higher sales volume. This unfavorable impact on operating cash flow was partially offset by lower tax payments compared to the 2025 six-month period.
Investing Activities
Capital expenditures in the 2026 six-month period were $57.3 million primarily related to $20.0 million for the Arkansas manufacturing facility, $6.5 million in cost reduction initiatives, $4.5 million for our ERP tool and other platforms, and $26.3 million in all other including capacity expansion in our existing facilities.
Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities in the 2026 six-month period consisted primarily of repurchases of common stock, partially offset by net borrowings on the revolving credit facility.
Stock Repurchase Program. On May 4, 2023, the Trex Board of Directors adopted a stock repurchase program (2023 Stock Repurchase Program) of up to 10.8 million shares of its outstanding common stock. On February 26, 2026, Trex entered into an Accelerated Stock Repurchase program ("ASR") under the 2023 Stock Repurchase Program. On April 28, 2026, the Trex Board of Directors authorized an additional 10 million shares to be repurchased under the 2023 Stock Repurchase Program. During the six months ended, June 30, 2026, the Company repurchased an aggregate of 3.9 million shares of its common stock, consisting of 2.6 million shares by the ASR program and 1.3 million shares under the 2023 Repurchase Program. As of June 30, 2026 the remaining number of shares available for repurchase under the 2023 Stock Repurchase Program is 13,470,185.
On July 29, 2026, the Board of Directors authorized a new share repurchase program allowing for the repurchase of up to $150.0 million of the Company's common stock. Management believes the authorization provides flexibility in the Company's capital allocation strategy and reflects confidence in the Company's long-term cash flow generation and financial position. Future repurchases will depend on business conditions, available liquidity, market conditions, and other investment opportunities.
Revolving Credit Facility
Indebtedness prior to March 26, 2026. On October 10, 2024, Trex entered into a Second Amendment to the Credit Agreement (Second Amendment) with certain lending parties thereto (Lenders) to amend that Credit Agreement dated as of May 18, 2022, as amended by that certain First Amendment dated as of December 22, 2022.
The Second Amendment provides us with Revolving A Loans in the maximum principal amount of $400,000,000 (Revolving A Loans), Revolving B Loans in the maximum principal amount of $150,000,000 (Revolving B Loans), and Letters of Credit and Swing
22
Line Loans (as defined in the Credit Agreement). The Second Amendment extends the maturity date of the Revolving B Loans from December 22, 2024 to December 22, 2026.
Base Rate Loans (as defined in the Credit Agreement) under the Revolving A Loan and the Swing Line Loans accrue interest at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and Term SOFR Loans for the Revolving Loans accrue interest at the rate per annum equal to the sum of Term SOFR for such interest period plus the Applicable Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement). The Base Rate for any day is a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the highest of (a) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%, (b) the rate of interest in effect for such day as publicly announced from time to time by BOA as its prime rate, and (c) the Term SOFR plus 1.0% subject to certain interest rate floors. Repayment of all then outstanding principal, interest, fees and costs is due at the end of the Term (as defined in the Credit Agreement).
With respect to Revolving B Loans (as defined in the Credit Agreement), for any day, the rate per annum is a tiered pricing based upon the Consolidated Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio. The applicable rate for Revolving B Loans that are Base Rate Loans range between 0.20% and 1.15%. and the applicable rate for Revolving B Loans that are Term SOFR/Term SOFR Daily Floating Rate range between 1.20% and 2.15%.
Indebtedness on and after March 26, 2026. On March 26, 2026 Trex entered into a Credit Agreement with certain lending parties thereto (Lenders) to amend and restate the Credit Agreement dated as of May 18, 2022, as amended (the Prior Credit Agreement).
The Credit Agreement provides us with one or more Revolving Loans in a collective maximum principal amount of $700,000,000 (Loan Limit) throughout the term, which ends March 26, 2031. Included within the Loan Limit are sublimits for, Letters of Credit (as defined in the Credit Agreement) in an amount not to exceed $60,000,000 and Swing Line Loans (as defined in the Credit Agreement) in an amount not to exceed $40,000,000.
Base Rate Loans (as defined in the Credit Agreement) under the Revolving Loans and the Swing Line Loans accrue interest at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and Term SOFR Loans or Term SOFR Daily Floating Rate Loans for the Revolving Loans accrue interest at the rate per annum equal to the sum of Term SOFR Loans/Term SOFR Daily Floating Rate for such interest period plus the Applicable Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement). The Base Rate for any day is a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the highest of (a) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%, (b) the rate of interest in effect for such day as publicly announced from time to time by BOA as its prime rate, and (c) the Term SOFR plus 1.0% subject to certain interest rate floors. Repayment of all then outstanding principal, interest, fees and costs is due on the last day of the Term (as defined in the Credit Agreement).
Compliance with Debt Covenants and Restrictions. Pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Company is subject to certain loan compliance covenants. The Credit Agreement requires the Company to maintain (a) a Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio of not less than 2.50 to 1.0 and (b) a Consolidated Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio of not more than 3.75 to 1.0, each measured as of the end of each Fiscal Quarter, commencing with the Fiscal Quarter ended June 30, 2026. The maximum Consolidated Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio is automatically increased to 4.25 to 1.0 for the Fiscal Quarter in which a qualifying Acquisition with cash consideration (including assumed or acquired Debt) of $75,000,000 or more occurs and each of the following four Fiscal Quarters (an "Adjustment Period"), subject to a limit of two Adjustment Periods during the term of the Credit Agreement.
The Credit Agreement also contains an equity cure mechanism, under which the Company may make cash equity contributions (funded with proceeds of common equity) to be included in the calculation of Consolidated EBITDA solely for purposes of determining compliance with the financial covenants, subject to certain conditions and limitations, including that in each consecutive four Fiscal Quarter period there must be at least two Fiscal Quarters in which no such contribution is made.
At June 30, 2026, we had $253.0 million in outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility. The total availability under the revolving credit facility was $443.9 million as of June 30, 2026, which reflects a reduction for outstanding letters of credit totaling $3.1 million.
We believe that cash on hand, cash from operations and borrowings expected to be available under our revolving credit facilities will provide sufficient funds to fund planned capital expenditures, make scheduled principal and interest payments, fund warranty payments, and meet other cash requirements. We currently expect to fund future capital expenditures from operations and financing activities. The actual amount and timing of future capital requirements may differ materially from our estimate depending on the demand for Trex products and new market developments and opportunities.
Capital Requirements. Our capital expenditure guidance for 2026 is $100 million to $120 million. Our capital allocation priorities for 2026 include expenditures for internal growth opportunities, manufacturing cost reductions, upgrading equipment and

support systems, and acquisitions which fit our long-term growth strategy as we continue to evaluate opportunities that would be a good strategic fit for Trex, and return of capital to shareholders.
Inventory in Distribution Channels. We sell our decking and railing products through a tiered distribution system. We have over 100 distributor locations worldwide and two national retail merchandisers to which we sell our products. The distributors in turn sell the products to dealers and retail locations who in turn sell the products to end users. Significant increases in inventory levels in the distribution channel without a corresponding change in end-use demand could have an adverse effect on future sales.
Product Warranty. We warrant that for the applicable warranty period our products, when properly installed, used and maintained, will be free from material defects in workmanship and materials and our decking, cladding, fascia and railing products will not split, splinter, rot or suffer structural damage from termites or fungal decay.
Products sold on or after January 1, 2023: The warranty period for residential use is 50 years for Transcend® decking, 35 years for Select® decking and Universal Fascia, and 25 years for Enhance® decking and Transcend, Select, Enhance and Signature® railing. The warranty period for commercial use is 10 years, excluding Signature railing and Transcend cladding, which each have a warranty period of 25 years. We further warrant that Trex Transcend, Trex Enhance and Trex Select decking and cladding and Universal Fascia products will not fade in color from light and weathering exposure more than a certain amount and will be resistant to permanent staining from food and beverage substances or mold and mildew, provided the stain is cleaned within seven days of appearance, for the warranty period referred to above. If there is a breach of such warranties, we have an obligation either to replace the defective product or refund the purchase price.
Products sold prior to January 1, 2023: The warranty period is 25 years for residential use and 10 years for commercial use. With respect to Trex Signature railing, the warranty period is 25 years for both residential and commercial use. We further warrant that Trex Transcend, Trex Enhance, Trex Select and Universal Fascia products will not fade in color more than a certain amount and will be resistant to permanent staining from food substances or mold, provided the stain is cleaned within seven days of appearance, for the warranty period referred to above. If there is a breach of such warranties, we have an obligation either to replace the defective product or refund the purchase price.
We maintain a warranty reserve for the settlement of our product warranty claims. We accrue for the estimated cost of product warranty claims at the time revenue is recognized based on such factors as historical claims experience and future claims experience. To estimate our future claims experience, we utilize actuarial techniques to determine a reasonable possible range of amounts to be paid related to defects covered by our product warranty. The actuarial techniques consider claims received, claims closed, and the corresponding amounts paid. Estimates for these elements are quantified using a range of assumptions derived from claim history and consideration of additional factors influencing claim counts or costs incurred to settle claims in order to determine the best estimate of future claims for which to record a related liability. We review and adjust these estimates, if necessary, based on the differences between actual experience and historical estimates.
We monitor claims activity each quarter for indications that our estimates require revision. We use the best and most complete underlying information available and a rational methodology to determine our warranty obligations. We consider all available evidence to assess the reasonableness of all key assumptions underlying our estimated warranty obligations.
Our analysis is based on currently known facts and a number of assumptions, as discussed above, and current expectations. Projecting future events such as the number of claims to be received, the number of claims that will require payment and the costs associated with settling claims could cause the actual warranty liability to be higher or lower than projected, which could materially affect our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Seasonality. The operating results for Trex have historically varied from quarter to quarter. Seasonal, erratic or prolonged adverse weather conditions in certain geographic regions may reduce the level of home improvement and construction activity and can shift demand for its products to a later period. As part of its normal business practice and consistent with industry practice, Trex has historically offered incentive programs to its distributors and dealers to build inventory levels before the start of the prime deck-building season in order to ensure adequate availability of its product to meet anticipated seasonal consumer demand. The seasonal effects are often offset by the positive effect of the incentive programs.
