Positive Points

Fluidra SA (FLUIF) reported a 7% increase in sales and a 9% growth in EBITDA at constant FX for 2025, indicating strong performance across all regions. The company achieved significant market share gains in 2025, particularly in the aftermarket segment, which contributed to a 4% volume growth. Fluidra SA (FLUIF) successfully completed its Simplification Program, resulting in a gross margin improvement of over 500 basis points and an EBITDA margin increase of 150 basis points. The company maintained strong cash generation, reducing its net debt to EBITDA ratio to 2.2 times, while also accommodating dividend payments and acquisitions. Fluidra SA (FLUIF) proposed an 8% increase in its 2025 dividend to EUR0.65 per share, reflecting confidence in its future business prospects and aligning with its dividend policy.

Negative Points

FX had a significant negative impact on sales, with a 310 basis point reduction for the year and a 600 basis point impact in the fourth quarter. The company faced challenges from tariffs and inflation, which offset some of the positive contributions from its Simplification Program and pricing strategies. Despite strong overall performance, the adjusted EPS was slightly below guidance due to higher-than-expected depreciation in 2025. The robotic cleaner market faced increased competition, impacting margins and leading to pressure from customers trading down. The guidance for 2026 anticipates flat demand in residential new construction and remodel, with growth primarily expected from the aftermarket and commercial pool segments.

Story Continues

Q & A Highlights

Q: Can you elaborate on the sell-in and sell-out situation, and how does it relate to POOLCORP's inventory levels? A: Jaime Ramirez, CEO: We focus on aligning sell-in and sell-out, and our 7% revenue growth in North America reflects this alignment. POOLCORP's inventory increase was due to pre-buying connected to price increases last year. Our model for 2026 assumes flat new build, with the best opportunity for market share gains in the aftermarket.

Q: What is the current weight of your robotic division, and how will Phase II in Aiper impact it? A: Xavier Tintore Segura, CFO: The robotic cleaner business is about 6% of our revenue. We expect continued competition affecting margins. In Phase II, Fluidra will focus on distribution in professional channels, while Aiper will handle R&D and manufacturing, impacting our margins as we transition to a distributor role.

Q: Could you provide guidance at current FX rates, and how does maintenance focus impact Q4 growth? A: Xavier Tintore Segura, CFO: At current rates, sales growth would be around 2 points lower. We expect flat new build and 1-2% growth in aftermarket and remodel. Commercial growth could be flat to 5-6% at the top end, with market share gains contributing around 1 point.

Q: Why was Q4 sales growth in North America lower than Q3, and what is the expected impact of PoolTrackr? A: Jaime Ramirez, CEO: Q4 growth was 2-3% due to a high base from 2024 and FX impacts. Retail business transitions also affected numbers. PoolTrackr aims to enhance digital experience and demand generation, with potential SaaS opportunities not yet included in our numbers.

Q: What are the building blocks for the low and high ends of the 2026 guidance range? A: Xavier Tintore Segura, CFO: The low end assumes flat new build, while the high end includes better aftermarket performance, longer season, and more remodels. Commercial pool growth and share gains also differentiate the midpoint from the high end. M&A contribution is around 1%, potentially higher at the high end.

BARCELONA, Spain, February 26, 2026--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Fluidra, the global leader in equipment and connected solutions in the pool and wellness sector, delivered strong results in 2025 and continues to execute on its strategic pillars: accelerating growth, creating competitive differentiation and enhancing operational excellence.

Sales reached €2,184 million, up 7% year-on-year at constant FX, reflecting consistent volume growth across all regions in a changing environment, driven by higher volumes, positive pricing, and the contribution from acquisitions.

Adjusted EBITDA amounted to €501 million, up 9% year-on-year at constant FX, driven by top-line expansion while investing for growth. Net income increased 28% to €176 million, while Adjusted Net Profit reached €250 million, up 8% year-on-year.

Cash generation remained solid, funding organic growth, strategic acquisitions of €113 million and shareholder remuneration of €117 million, up 8% while reducing leverage by 0.2x turns to 2.2x.

On the back of these results and its confidence in the future, Fluidra’s Board proposes a 2025 dividend distribution of 65 euro cents per share, up 8% and subject to shareholder approval. If approved, Fluidra will make a first payment of 32 euro cents per share on 14 July 2026 and a second payment of 33 euro cents per share on 10 December 2026. The proposal implies around 50% payout of 2025 Adjusted Net Profit and it is fully aligned with Fluidra’s dividend policy and capital allocation framework.

Accelerating Growth

Fluidra delivered revenue growth across all regions in 2025, supported by strong execution, market share gains and resilient demand. North America delivered sales growth of 7% year-on-year at constant FX and perimeter. Europe increased by 4%, while Rest of the World grew 7%, driven primarily by commercial pool demand.

Growth was further strengthened through targeted acquisitions and strategic investments. In 2025, Fluidra completed its partnership and initial 27% investment in Aiper, a leading player in cordless robotic pool cleaning technology. The company also acquired BAC and Powerplastics, two pool cover producers, and agreed to acquire 100% of VarioPool, a moveable-floors commercial pool player in Northern Europe. These acquisitions strengthen Fluidra’s portfolio and enhance its position in attractive and growing market segments in residential and commercial pool.

Story Continues

Creating Competitive Differentiation

In 2025, Fluidra strengthened its structural competitive advantages through technology leadership, digital integration and scale.

The Aiper partnership enhances access to next-generation cordless robotics technology, reinforcing leadership in a high-growth category.

To accelerate its digital strategy, Fluidra acquired PoolTrackr, a best-in-class SaaS platform that streamlines operations for pool and spa retail and service professionals, increasing customer engagement.

Combined with its global brand portfolio, broad distribution network and continued R&D investment, these capabilities support product innovation and long-term margin resilience.

Enhancing Operational Excellence

Fluidra completed its Simplification Program, delivering the full €100 million gross savings target through procurement optimization and value engineering.

Building on the success of this program, the company has launched a new efficiency plan targeting €120 million in additional productivity and cost savings between 2026 and 2030.

2026 guidance

Fluidra has introduced guidance for FY 2026. The company has a positive outlook, anticipating, at constant FX, sales growth between 3% to 7%, Adjusted EBITDA margin of 23.3% to 24.3% and Adjusted EPS growth between 4% and 13%.

Eloi Planes, Fluidra’s Executive Chairman, said: "We delivered a strong performance in 2025, continuing to outperform the market while advancing our strategic priorities in a dynamic environment. I am proud of what we have accomplished and I would like to thank the teams across Fluidra for their commitment and dedication.

"We remain focused on executing our strategy and investing to strengthen the business for the long term while further improving returns. Our priorities are clear: to accelerate growth, foster competitive differentiation, and enhance operational excellence."

Dublin, Feb. 17, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Pool Market Research Report 2025-2030" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The Pool Market was valued at USD 17.75 Billion in 2024, and is projected to reach USD 23.30 Billion by 2030, rising at a CAGR of 4.64%

The global pool market includes well-known companies like Pentair, Fluidra, Hayward, Maytronics, and Latham Pool Products. There are also specialized and regional manufacturers, such as Waterco, Emaux Water Tech, LASWIM, and Compass Europe. This variety creates a competitive environment with different levels of competition.

Market leaders stand out with their product offerings, which include pumps, filters, automation systems, and structural pool solutions. These offerings benefit from global distribution networks and ongoing investment in smart pool technologies. Companies like Pentair, Fluidra, and Hayward set industry standards through their research and development, integration of automation, and adherence to strong regulatory measures.

Chinese manufacturers, including LASWIM and Ming Aqua Machinery, are growing internationally with their filtration, heating, and circulation products. Turnkey providers like GreatPool focus on delivering projects in an EPC style, fitting well into the expanding urban pool infrastructure sector.

The competitive landscape is influenced by consolidation as groups such as Compass Europe and niche players like Speck Pumps-Pool Products expand through brand-driven strategies and partnerships. Product development is driven by the increasing demand for energy-efficient equipment, IoT-enabled automation, and sustainable pool systems.

POOL MARKET GEOGRAPHICAL ANALYSIS

North America held the largest global pool market share of over 45% in 2024, supported by a vast base of in-ground residential and commercial pools. Market growth is fueled by modernization of existing installations and the adoption of inverter-based heat pumps, variable-speed drives, and smart control systems. A mature aftermarket for maintenance and upgrades sustains recurring revenues, reinforcing regional dominance.

Europe ranked second in 2024, supported by steady demand across residential, hospitality, and wellness sectors. Energy-efficiency regulations are accelerating the replacement of conventional systems with advanced, low-consumption equipment. Southern Europe, especially Spain, France, and Italy, benefits from favourable climates and strong tourism investment. Italy is the fastest-growing market with rising adoption of saltwater treatment and inverter-based heating in villas and boutique hotels.

APAC is the fastest-growing region, projected to record a CAGR of 5.99% during 2025-2030. This growth is led by expanding residential and resort construction, rising incomes, and wellness-oriented outdoor amenities. China and Japan contribute nearly 50% of regional revenues, driven by China's premium housing demand and Japan's focus on compact, technology-enabled pool systems with advanced heating and automation.

India shows the highest-growth market in APAC. This expansion stems from rapid urban housing development, upscale hospitality projects, and the inclusion of recreational amenities in premium townships. Rising disposable incomes and wider availability of prefabricated pool systems are driving installations across key metros, including Mumbai, Bengaluru, and Delhi NCR.

POOL MARKET TRENDS & DRIVERS

Industries are increasingly adopting smart pool technologies that enhance control, safety, and efficiency. Connected filtration, lighting, and heating systems with IoT-based monitoring and predictive maintenance are transforming pool management across residential and commercial applications.

Story Continues

Energy-efficient and sustainable equipment such as variable-speed pumps, inverter heat pumps, and solar-powered systems are gaining traction. These innovations lower operational costs while aligning with global energy-efficiency regulations and consumer preferences for eco-friendly lifestyles.

Wellness-oriented pool features, including hydrotherapy jets, temperature zoning, and salt-water chlorination, are being integrated into luxury housing and hospitality projects. The focus on health, relaxation, and holistic well-being is redefining pools as wellness hubs rather than leisure amenities alone.

The use of modular and composite construction materials such as prefabricated fiberglass shells, composite decking, and lightweight panels is simplifying installation and renovation. These materials improve durability, reduce maintenance needs, and enable faster project execution across both new and retrofit installations.

Urbanization and rising disposable incomes in developing regions are expanding investment in private and community pool facilities. The trend is supported by architectural innovation and sustainability certification programs that promote efficient water and energy use.

INDUSTRY RESTRAINTS

High upfront costs and operational burden continue to restrict widespread pool adoption. The expenses associated with installation, filtration, heating, and automation systems create affordability challenges for homeowners and small commercial operators. Additionally, high electricity consumption and recurring maintenance costs add to lifecycle expenses.

Regulatory, seasonal, and lifestyle constraints further limit market growth. Strict water-use regulations in drought-prone areas, safety compliance norms, and short swimming seasons in colder climates reduce utilization rates. Changing lifestyle patterns and limited availability of trained service professionals also hinder consistent upkeep and customer satisfaction.

Dublin, Feb. 16, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Pool Salt Chlorinator Market Research Report 2025-2030" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The Pool Salt Chlorinator Market was valued at USD 1.45 billion in 2024, and is projected to reach USD 1.98 billion by 2030, rising at a CAGR of 5.33%.

The global pool salt chlorinator market is fragmented and categorized by numerous manufacturers that hold modest market share. Key players, including Flurida, Pentair, Hayward Holdings and Intex Recreation, among others, have established dominance in the market by continuously innovating and expanding their product offerings. These companies hold strong positions in the global market supported by their advanced manufacturing expertise, precision machining capabilities, and established supply chain networks. Their competitive edge lies in their ability to deliver high-performance, digitally connected chlorination systems along with by strong brand reputation, innovation, and comprehensive after-sales services.

POOL SALT CHLORINATOR MARKET TRENDS & DRIVERS

Modern pool owners are shifting toward integrated, automated solutions that enable remote monitoring, real-time alerts, and precise water quality management through mobile apps and IoT-enabled devices. Thus, increasing adoption of smart and connected pool management systems has a significant role in accelerating the demand for pool salt chlorinators. For instance, Hayward Holdings's AquaRite S3 Omni salt sanitisation system is designed to integrate directly with the company's Omni automation platform, which allows users to manage pool sanitation, pumps, heaters, and lighting through their OmniLogic mobile app, voice assistants such as Amazon Alexa and Google Home, or with advanced home automation systems like Control4.

With rising awareness of sustainability, health, and environmental protection, pool owners are increasingly shifting towards greener alternatives to traditional chlorine tablets. In the US, EPA regulations are also restricting hazardous chemicals and tightening controls on Disinfection By-Products, which is surging the salt chlorinators. Further, states like California and Florida are also actively promoting saltwater systems as safer alternatives for public and residential pools, and as a result, nearly 70% of new US residential pools started using salt systems. Thus, with rising consumer preference for eco-friendly and chemical-free water treatment solutions, the adoption of pool salt chlorinators is expected to rise during the forecast period.

The rising development of residential estates and luxury housing is emerging as a significant factor supporting the pool salt chlorinator market. These factors are specifically more robust in India and Southeast Asia, where urbanization and the rise of gated communities or societies are creating new opportunities for premium pool solutions. For instance, in 2025, Etonhurst Capital Partners made a significant investment in luxury real estate and acquired 37 ready-to-move apartments in Worli, Mumbai, for over $60.2 million.

Pool Heat Pump MarketPool Heat Pump Market·GlobeNewswire Inc.

Dublin, Feb. 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Pool Heat Pump Market Research Report 2025-2030" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The Pool Heat Pump Market was sized at 930 Thousand Units in 2024, and is projected to reach 1.24 Million Units by 2030, rising at a CAGR of 5.00%.

The global pool heat pump market remains highly fragmented, characterized by the presence of numerous vendors across major geographies. International players such as Hayward, Pentair, and Fluidra compete across multiple regions, while domestic and national vendors such as AquaCal in the United States and Fairland in China maintain strong local positions through region-specific portfolios and channel reach. The coexistence of established HVAC majors and regional specialists fosters competitive pricing and product diversity.

Europe's Energy Performance of Buildings Directive, Directive EU 2024/1275, raises expectations for energy performance in new buildings and renovations. As pool upgrades are increasingly bundled into broader building retrofit scopes, projects are opting for efficient electric equipment, which is strengthening the specification momentum for pool heat pumps and reducing reliance on fossil fuel-based pool heating.

In the US, the Department of Energy (DOE) is tightening the minimum efficiency requirements for consumer pool heaters under its energy conservation standards. This increases redesign and compliance costs for lower-efficiency products, accelerating their phase-out and driving demand toward high-efficiency alternatives such as pool heat pumps, which offer a lower-risk path to regulatory compliance.

In APAC, policy frameworks are converting building efficiency goals into practical requirements that support pool heat pump adoption. Singapore's Building and Construction Authority Green Mark 2021 strengthens performance-led equipment decisions in premium residential and hospitality projects. Japan's zero-energy housing direction and Australia's ARENA-backed electrification pilots further support pool heat pump-based upgrades.

Story continues

Rising gas prices and stricter emission limits are also weakening the competitiveness of gas boilers and other legacy pool-heating options when customers evaluate the total cost of ownership. For instance, EU household gas prices rose in July-December 2024 to $13.18 per 100 kWh from $11.8 in January-June 2024, increasing operating-cost pressure on gas-heated pools. In this context, the longer equipment life and lower operating costs of pool heat pumps strengthen the long-term economic case for adoption.

POOL HEAT PUMP MARKET VENDOR LANDSCAPE

Expansion strategies increasingly focus on market-specific positioning and channel partnerships. Vendors are investing in localized distribution, dealership agreements, and service alliances to strengthen brand presence and ensure consistent product availability. For instance, AquaCal directs customers through its Where to Buy dealer locator, while Hayward supports channel-led sales through its dealer locator and the Totally Hayward partner program.

Leading manufacturers are diversifying their portfolios through acquisitions and regional collaborations. Global players such as Hayward, Pentair, and Rheem continue to integrate pool equipment and heating technologies to expand their footprint across mature and emerging regions.

The market continues to evolve as vendors balance innovation, affordability, and channel depth. Success increasingly depends on establishing sustainable partnerships, optimizing supply chains, and adapting to regional purchasing behaviour across residential and commercial pool segments.

The rising environmental awareness, efficiency standards, and inverter technology are likely to support the adoption of advanced pool heat pumps as they provide efficient performance with low-cost energy. Regulatory frameworks in the US and Europe are reinforcing this shift, with updated US Department of Energy efficiency standards for consumer pool heat pumps and broader EU energy-efficiency and ecodesign policy direction favouring compact, low-noise, and user-friendly pool heat pump models. Thus, such factors are transitioning energy-efficient pool heat pumps from premium to mainstream segments, emphasising the shift toward reliable, climate-aligned solutions across residential and hospitality applications. Global decarbonization goals and tighter efficiency mandates are positioning heat pumps as key clean-heating technologies. Their superior performance ratios, compatibility with renewable electricity, and contribution to zero-emission building standards make them a preferred solution for lowering lifecycle emissions in both residential and recreational environments. Coordinated fiscal and regulatory programs, including the EU's REPowerEU Plan is boosting heat-pump deployment worldwide. Incentives such as rebates, tax credits, and efficiency mandates under national electrification and green-building initiatives are lowering adoption barriers, encouraging local manufacturing, and expanding the use of pool heat pumps across residential and commercial sectors.
