CEO Comments

“Fourth quarter sales exceeded expectations, capping a year of resilient performance within a challenging repair and remodeling industry backdrop,” said Bryan Fairbanks, President and CEO. “Results came in above the midpoint of our fourth quarter revenue guidance primarily due to higher than anticipated railing sales in the back-half of Q4, continuing to demonstrate the strength of our product portfolio. Decking shipments in December were also slightly better than we had forecast. For the year, we estimate sell-through of Trex products was approximately 4%, once again outpacing growth in the broader Repair and Remodel (“R&R”) market by a considerable margin. This performance demonstrates the strength of the Trex brand, our strong position in both the pro-channel and home centers, and the success of our new product introductions.”

Notably, new products accounted for 24% of our full year 2025 sales and, as anticipated, railing sales increased at a significant double-digit rate for the year. The success of our new product launches is a strong indication of how well-aligned our product design and development programs are with consumer preferences.”

“We also saw direct positive impacts from our refreshed branding and marketing programs in 2025, further strengthening Trex’s competitive advantages and increasing our sample program volumes and website traffic. Our improved digital tools are helping to drive higher completion rates and are generating double-digit increases in lead generation for our contractors, and our step-up in incentive programs has resonated with our channel partners.”

“Fourth quarter and full year profitability was impacted by several one-time charges associated with our growth initiatives. This included expanding distributor adoption of our full portfolio of railing products, start-up and initial production costs related to our plastic processing plant at our Arkansas campus, and digital transformation projects to strengthen real-time engagement with our channel partners. We will see returns on these investments in 2026 and beyond. Our continuous improvement programs and benefits from our level loading program continued to yield measurable production efficiencies throughout 2025,” Mr. Fairbanks noted.

Recent Developments & Recognitions

• Trex introduced the limited release of Trex^® Refuge™ Decking, a PVC solution engineered to address elevated fire-safety requirements in select markets. This launch underscores Trex’s performance-engineered innovation strategy – delivering code-compliant, design-forward products tailored to specific environmental challenges, from heat mitigation and marine applications to dry, fire-prone conditions.
• Trex announced the addition of two new Enhance^® decking colors, expanding the availability of SunComfortable™ heat-mitigating technology* at an accessible price point. This expansion reinforces Trex’s focus on converting potential wood buyers by pairing on-trend aesthetics with the durability, low maintenance, and ease of installation that define the Trex brand.
• Trex announced the expansion of its partnership with Specialty Building Products to provide statewide distribution coverage in Michigan. The move strengthens Trex’s Midwest distribution footprint and enhances product availability for channel partners, supporting continued growth in a core regional market.
• Trex expanded its relationship with Weekes Forest Products in late 2025 to strengthen distribution in the upper Midwest, including Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, and North Dakota. Weekes, based in Oakdale, MN, services these areas through distribution centers in St. Paul and Moorhead. This collaboration improves access to Trex’s composite decking and railing products.

Summary and Outlook

Fairbanks continued, “2025 was a year of resilient performance for Trex, and we have entered 2026 with positive momentum across our organization.”

“Recent decking and railing wins at the major home centers have meaningfully increased Trex stocking locations as we head into the 2026 deck building season. We gained significant traction with our railing products in 2025 that is projected to drive another year of double-digit growth in railing sales in 2026 – putting us on track to achieve our goal of doubling our share of the railing market by the end of 2028. In January of this year, we announced our first fire-rated decking board, with the limited launch of Trex® Refuge™ Decking – an ignition-resistant PVC decking line performance-engineered for use in select regions primarily in the west that have heightened fire-safety requirements. This is the first of several new products under development and scheduled to be introduced to the marketplace over the next twelve months.”

“The additional incentives for dealers and contractors have demonstrated our recognition of their value, and we have already seen their increased commitment to Trex. A meaningful portion of our sales and marketing spend in 2026 will be allocated to support and further expand our contractor base, and Trex will continue to benefit from its leadership position in the home center and pro channel as well as our long-standing distribution relationships.

“In 2026, we expect that Trex will again outperform a challenged repair and remodel market that we anticipate to be flat year over year. Our success will be driven by new product introductions, additional home center shelf space wins, as well as momentum from our disciplined marketing, branding, and incentive programs. Our guidance for 2026 is for revenue to range from $1.185B to $1.230B and for adjusted EBITDA of $315M to $340M.”

“Demonstrating our confidence in the long-term outlook for the Trex Company, we returned $50 million to our shareholders through the repurchase of 1.5 million shares of our outstanding common stock in the fourth quarter of 2025 at an average price of $32.75. Our Board of Directors has authorized a $150 million share repurchase program to be executed in the first half of 2026, and we intend to continue opportunistic share repurchases for the balance of the year, reflecting robust free cash flow generation expectations amid a reduction in capital expenditures, our commitment to return capital to shareholders, and the positive long-term outlook for Trex,” Mr. Fairbanks concluded.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

The Company reports its financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). To supplement our consolidated financial statements reported on a GAAP basis, we provide the following non-GAAP financial measures of earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), and EBITDA as a percentage of net sales, EBITDA margin, adjusted gross profit, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per share (EPS), and adjusted EBITDA. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with additional meaningful financial information that should be considered when assessing our underlying business performance and trends. Further, management believes these non-GAAP financial measures also enhance investors’ ability to compare period-to-period financial results. 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. Our non-GAAP financial measures do not represent a comprehensive basis of accounting. Therefore, our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP information are included below. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in making financial, operating, compensation and planning decisions and in evaluating the Company’s performance. Disclosing these non-GAAP financial measures allows investors and management to view our operating results excluding the impact of items that are not reflective of the underlying operating performance.

Reconciliation of gross profit (GAAP) to adjusted gross profit (non-GAAP) is as follows:

Reconciliation of net income (GAAP) to adjusted net income (non-GAAP) is as follows:

Reconciliation of net income (GAAP) to EBITDA (non-GAAP) and adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) is as follows:
