View the webcast at Summary Alliance Laundry Holdings reported a 7% year-over-year increase in revenue for Q2 2026, with adjusted EBITDA growing by 12% and adjusted net income up by 54%.

The company raised its full-year guidance due to strong first-half performance and improved visibility, maintaining revenue growth expectations of 6-7% and increasing EBITDA growth guidance to 8-10%.

Operational highlights include a successful debt reduction strategy, with $50 million repaid in Q2, lowering net leverage from 4.6 to 2.4 times over the past year.

Digital innovation remains a strategic focus, enhancing equipment connectivity for better service and customer experience, which supports stronger customer relationships.

Internationally, Asia Pacific showed significant growth, particularly in vended markets, while Europe remained stable.

The Middle East and Africa, impacted by regional conflict and higher energy costs, contribute less than 2% of global revenue.

Management emphasized the essential, resilient nature of the commercial laundry industry and highlighted structural growth opportunities in Southeast Asia driven by urbanization and a growing middle class.

And with that, I'd like to now turn the call over to Mike Shabe, our Chief Executive Officer.

Mike Shabe, Chief Executive Officer Thanks, Tom, and thank you for joining our earnings call.

Our second quarter results reinforce the message we have carried since becoming a public company: that a resilient, replacement-driven, essential industry, a market-leading position, and disciplined operational excellence combine to deliver strong, sustainable outcomes through any environment.

In the second quarter, revenue grew 7% year over year, with adjusted EBITDA growth of 12% and adjusted net income up 54%.

This performance was broad-based, and it reflects the diversification that defines our business across products, end markets, and geography.

The strength of our first half, combined with our growing visibility into the balance of the year, gives us the confidence to raise our guidance today, and Dean will take you through that detail shortly.

I'd like to highlight again that this performance was achieved in a macro environment that's still volatile in many parts of the world.

But remember, every day really is laundry day.
