POOL Corporation reported its financial results for the third quarter and the first nine months of 2025, revealing a slight increase in net sales and a stable gross profit margin. For the three months ended September 30, 2025, net sales reached $1,451.1 million, a 1% increase from $1,432.9 million in the same period of 2024. Gross profit for the quarter was $429.2 million, up from $416.4 million, resulting in a gross margin of 29.6%, an improvement from 29.1% year-over-year. The company attributed this growth to sustained customer demand for maintenance products and improved sales in building materials, alongside effective pricing strategies and supply chain management.

In terms of profitability, net income for the third quarter of 2025 was $127.0 million, compared to $125.7 million in the prior year, marking a 1% increase. Earnings per diluted share rose to $3.40, up from $3.27 in the same quarter of 2024. However, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, net income decreased to $374.8 million from $397.0 million in 2024, reflecting a 6% decline. The diluted earnings per share for this period also fell to $9.97 from $10.30, indicating a 3% decrease.

Operationally, POOL Corporation expanded its sales center network, increasing the total number of locations to 454 as of September 30, 2025, up from 448 at the end of 2024. The company completed several acquisitions, including the distribution assets of Great Plains Supply Pool and Spa Products in August 2025, which added locations in Kansas and Texas. The company also reported a 4% increase in total net receivables, driven by higher sales, and a 4% rise in inventory levels, reflecting inflationary pressures and strategic purchases.

Looking ahead, POOL Corporation anticipates that sales for the full year of 2025 will remain relatively flat compared to 2024. The company expects to benefit from U.S. tariffs and price increases, projecting a gross margin in line with the previous year's 29.7%. Operating expenses are expected to rise by approximately 3% due to inflation and ongoing investments in technology and sales center expansion. The effective tax rate for 2025 is projected to be around 25.0%, with diluted earnings per share anticipated to range between $10.81 and $11.31.
