First Quarter 2026 Highlights

Net revenues of $722.1 million decreased (6.9%) in the first quarter driven by a decrease in Core Revenues of (10%) combined with a decrease in net revenues from the court-ordered divestiture of Towanda of (1%). These were partially offset by a favorable foreign exchange impact of 4%. The decline in Core Revenues was driven by a (10%) decrease in volume/mix.
Net loss was ($76.8) million or ($0.90) per share, compared to net loss of ($190.1) million, or ($2.24) per share in the same quarter a year ago.

Operating loss margin was (7.6%) and (23.8%) for the quarters ended March 28, 2026 and March 29, 2025, respectively.
Adjusted EBITDA was $6.1 million, a decrease of ($15.7) million compared to $21.9 million during the same quarter a year ago. Adjusted EBITDA Margin was 0.9%, a decrease of (190) basis points year-over-year due to unfavorable price/cost and volume/mix, partially offset by favorable productivity and lower SG&A expense.

"First-quarter results were in line with our expectations as we continue to navigate the challenging demand environment and focus on service investments that improve how we support our customers," said Chief Executive Officer William J. Christensen. "We are seeing meaningful improvement in our delivery and consistency, and customers are beginning to recognize the difference. While there is more work to do, we believe these actions are positioning us for improved sales and earnings. At the same time, we remain focused on disciplined cost management, preserving cash, and strengthening liquidity."

Adjusted EBITDA Margin was 0.9%, a decrease of (190) basis points in the first quarter 2026, due to unfavorable price/cost and volume/mix, partially offset by favorable productivity and lower SG&A.

On a segment basis for the first quarter 2026, compared to the same quarter a year ago:

North America - Net revenues decreased ($77.8) million, or (14.7%), to $452.7 million in the three months ended March 28, 2026, from $530.6 million in the three months ended March 29, 2025.

Adjusted EBITDA in North America decreased ($11.9) million, or (76.7%), to $3.6 million in the three months ended March 28, 2026, from $15.5 million in the three months ended March 29, 2025. The decrease was primarily due to negative price/cost and unfavorable volume/mix, partially offset by higher productivity and lower SG&A.
Europe - Net revenues increased $24.0 million, or 9.8%, to $269.4 million in the three months ended March 28, 2026, from $245.4 million in the three months ended March 29, 2025. The increase was primarily due to a favorable foreign exchange impact of 12%, partially offset by a decrease in Core Revenues of (2%). Core Revenues decreased primarily due to unfavorable volume/mix of (4%), partially offset by a 2% benefit from price realization. Net loss was ($10.1) million, a decline of ($6.6) million year-over-year.

The decrease was primarily due to unfavorable volume/mix, partially offset by favorable productivity.

Cash Flows

Net cash used in operating activities was ($91.2) million in the three months ended March 28, 2026, compared to ($83.5) million in the three months ended March 29, 2025, an increase of ($7.7) million. The change in cash flows from operating activities was primarily due to the increase in earnings of $113.3 million, inclusive of ($137.7) million in non-cash goodwill impairment charges related to our North America reporting unit in the prior year and a $12.8 million increase in net cash used in our working capital accounts. The impact of accounts receivable, net, was unfavorable by ($13.0) million for the three months ended March 28, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025, primarily driven by higher sales at the end of the current quarter. Accounts payable had a favorable impact of $26.2 million, mainly due to higher inventory purchases. Inventories had an unfavorable impact of ($26.0) million, primarily reflecting increased material purchases.

Capital expenditures in the three months ended March 28, 2026, decreased by $15.9 million to $26.1 million, down from $42.0 million in the three months ended March 29, 2025. Free Cash Flow used in the three months ended March 28, 2026, was ($117.3) million, compared to Free Cash Flow used in the three months ended March 29, 2025, of ($125.4) million. This does not include the impact of proceeds of $112.1 million from the court-ordered divestiture of our Towanda facility, which was completed in the first quarter of 2025.

Updated Full Year 2026 Guidance

JELD-WEN is updating 2026 revenue guidance to a range of $3.05 to $3.2 billion from the previous range of $2.95 to $3.1 billion. This updated range reflects a year-over-year decline in Core Revenues of approximately (3%) to (6%) compared to 2025 and a foreign exchange benefit of approximately $50 million. Additionally, the Company continues to expect its Adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of $100 to $150 million, unchanged from previous guidance, reflecting significant cost reductions, partially offset by continued volume pressure.

	Revenue	Adjusted EBITDA	Core Revenue Decline
February 2026 Guidance	$2.95 to $3.1 billion	$100 to $150 million	Down (5%) to (10%)
Updated 2026 Guidance	$3.05 to $3.2 billion	$100 to $150 million	Down (3%) to (6%)

The Company expects 2026 operating cash flow to generate approximately $40 million.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements are generally identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, including the terms "anticipate," "believe," "continue," "could," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "likely," "may," "plan," "possible," "potential," "predict," "project," "should," "target," "will," "would" and, in each case, their negative or other various or comparable terminology. All statements other than statements of historical facts are forward-looking statements, including statements regarding our business strategies and ability to execute on our plans, market potential, future financial performance, customer demand, the potential of our categories, brands and innovations, the impact of our strategic transformation journey, footprint rationalization, cost reduction and modernization initiatives, the impact of acquisitions and divestitures on our business and our ability to maximize value and integrate operations, our pipeline of productivity projects, the estimated impact of tax reform on our results, geopolitical and economic uncertainty, security breaches and other cybersecurity incidents, impacts on our business from weather and climate change, our current level of indebtedness, litigation outcomes, and our expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, prospects, assumptions, or other future events, all of which involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially. For a discussion of these risks and uncertainties and other factors, please refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed in 2026 and our other filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

The forward-looking statements included in this release are made as of the date hereof, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements, except as required by law.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

This press release presents certain "non-GAAP" financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Loss, Adjusted EPS, Free Cash Flow, and Net Debt Leverage. The components of these non-GAAP measures are computed by using amounts that are determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release to their nearest comparable GAAP financial measures is included in the tables at the end of this press release.

The Company provides certain guidance solely on a non-GAAP basis because the Company cannot predict certain elements that are included in certain reported GAAP results. While management cannot provide a reconciliation of items for forward-looking non-GAAP measures without unreasonable effort, management bases the estimated ranges of non-GAAP measures for future periods on its reasonable estimates of certain items such as assumed effective tax rate, assumed interest expense, and other assumptions about capital requirements for future periods. Although the Company believes the assumptions reflected in the range of its 2026 guidance are reasonable, actual results could vary substantially given the uncertainty regarding the future performance of the global economy, ongoing geopolitical conflicts, disruptions in supply chains, and changes in raw material prices and other costs as well as other risks and uncertainties, including those described below. In addition, the guidance ranges provided for 2026 do not include the impact of potential acquisitions or divestitures. The variability of these items may have a significant impact on our future GAAP results.

Other companies may compute these measures differently. The non-U.S. GAAP information has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation from or as a substitute for U.S. GAAP information. It does not purport to represent any similarly titled U.S. GAAP information and is not an indicator of our performance under U.S. GAAP.

We present several financial metrics in "Core" terms, which exclude the impact of foreign exchange, acquisitions and divestitures completed in the last twelve months. We define Core Revenues as net revenues excluding the impact of foreign exchange, and acquisitions and divestitures completed in the last twelve months. The use of "Core" metrics assists management, investors, and analysts in understanding the organic performance of the operations.

We use Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Loss, and Adjusted EPS because we believe they assist investors and analysts in comparing our operating performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are helpful in highlighting trends because they exclude certain items outside the control of management, while other measures can differ significantly depending on long-term strategic decisions regarding capital structure, the tax jurisdictions in which we operate, and capital investments. We use Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin to measure our financial performance in reporting our results to our Board of Directors. Further, our executive incentive compensation is based in part on Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income as a measure of financial performance or to cash flows from operations as a liquidity measure.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as income (loss), net of tax, adjusted for the following items: income tax expense (benefit); depreciation and amortization; interest expense (income), net; and certain special items consisting of non-recurring net legal and professional expenses and settlements; goodwill impairment; restructuring and asset-related charges, net; M&A related costs, net; net gain on sale of business, property and equipment; loss on extinguishment and refinancing of debt; share-based compensation expense; and other special items. We use Adjusted EBITDA because we believe this measure assists investors and analysts in comparing our operating performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance.

Adjusted Net Loss represents loss adjusted for the after-tax impact of (i) certain special items used to calculate Adjusted EBITDA as described above and (ii) accelerated amortization of an ERP that we are no longer utilizing after we completed our related obligations under the JW Australia Transition Services Agreement. Where applicable, the specifically identified items are tax effected at the applicable jurisdictional tax rate and tax expense is adjusted to remove the effect of discrete tax items.

Adjusted EPS represents loss per diluted share adjusted to exclude the estimated per share impact of the same specifically identified items used to calculate Adjusted Net Loss as described above.

Adjusted EBITDA Margin represents Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net revenues.

We present Free Cash Flow because we believe this metric assists investors and analysts in determining the quality of our earnings. Free Cash Flow is defined as net cash used in operating activities less capital expenditures (including purchases of intangible assets). Free Cash Flow should not be considered as an alternative to net cash used in operating activities as a liquidity measure. We also present Net Debt Leverage because it is a key financial metric that is used by management to assess the balance sheet risk of the Company. We define Net Debt Leverage as Net Debt (total principal debt outstanding less unrestricted cash) divided by Adjusted EBITDA for the last twelve-month period.

Due to rounding, numbers presented throughout this release may not sum precisely to the totals provided and percentages may not precisely reflect the absolute figures.
