Item 2.    Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with our consolidated financial statements and related notes included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2026 (the "Quarterly Report"), as well as our consolidated financial statements and related notes for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026 (the "Annual Report"). This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements based on current expectations relating to future events and our future performance that involve risks and uncertainties. See “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” below. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including those risk factors set forth in our Annual Report and in this Quarterly Report.

Overview

CSW Industrials, Inc. (the “Company,” “CSW,” “we,” “our” or “us”) is a diversified industrial growth company with a strategic focus on providing niche, value-added products in the end markets we serve. We operate in three business segments: Contractor Solutions, Specialized Reliability Solutions and Engineered Building Solutions. Our products include mechanical products for heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration ("HVAC/R"), plumbing products, grilles, registers and diffusers, building safety solutions and high-performance specialty lubricants and sealants. End markets that we serve include HVAC/R, architecturally-specified building products, plumbing, general industrial, energy, rail transportation, mining and electrical. Our manufacturing operations are concentrated in the United States (“U.S.”), Vietnam and Canada, and we have distribution operations in the U.S., Australia, Canada and the United Kingdom (“U.K.”). Our products are sold directly to end users or through designated channels in over 100 countries around the world, primarily including the U.S., Canada, the U.K. and Australia.

Drawing on our innovative and proven technologies, we seek to deliver solutions primarily to contractors that place a premium on superior performance and reliability. We believe our brands are well-known in the specific end markets we serve and have a reputation for high quality. We rely on both organic growth and inorganic growth through acquisitions to provide an increasingly broad portfolio of performance optimizing solutions that meet our customers’ ever-changing needs. We have a successful record of making attractive and synergistic acquisitions in support of this objective, and we remain focused on identifying additional acquisition opportunities in our core end markets.

Many of our products are used to protect the capital assets of our customers that are expensive to repair or replace and are critical to their operations. We have a source of recurring revenue from the maintenance, repair and overhaul and consumable nature of many of our products. We also provide some custom engineered products that strengthen and enhance our customer relationships. The reputation of our product portfolio is built on more than 100 well-respected brand names, such as AC Guard®, Air Sentry®, Amrad®, Aspen ManufacturingTM, Balco®, Cover Guard®, Deacon®, Duckt-Strip®, Dust Free®, Falcon®, Greco®, Hydrotex®, Jet-Lube®, Kopr-Kote®, Leak Freeze®, MARS®, Metacaulk®, No. 5®, OilSafe®, PF WaterWorksTM, ProAction Fluids®, PSP ProductsTM, RectorSeal®, Safe-T-Switch®, Shoemaker Manufacturing®, Smoke Guard®, TRUaire® and Whitmore®.

The ongoing conflict in the Middle East, including active military operations in Iran that began February 28, 2026, has contributed to disruptions in global shipping lanes, particularly through the Strait of Hormuz and the broader Persian Gulf region. While we do not source materials directly from Iran or the Persian Gulf region, the conflict has contributed to elevated crude oil prices, ocean and domestic freight and certain commodity costs, and it has extended lead times from Asian suppliers as carriers reroute through alternative passages including the Cape of Good Hope. We are continuing to work with our logistics partners to mitigate these impacts and do not currently believe they will have a material adverse effect on our ability to meet customer demand, though we continue to monitor the situation closely.

Our Outlook

We expect to maintain a strong balance sheet in fiscal year 2027, which provides us with access to capital through our cash on hand, internally-generated cash flow, and availability under our Revolving Credit Facility ("RCF") and Senior Secured Term Loan A ("TLA"). Our capital allocation strategy continues to guide our investing decisions, with a priority to direct capital to the highest risk adjusted return opportunities, within the categories of organic growth, strategic acquisitions and the return of cash to shareholders through our share repurchase and dividend programs. With the strength of our financial position, we will continue to invest in financially and strategically attractive expanded product offerings, key elements of our long-term strategy of targeting long-term profitable growth. We will continue to invest our capital in maintaining our facilities and in continuous improvement initiatives. We recognize the importance of, and remain committed to, continuing to drive organic growth, as well

as investing additional capital in opportunities with attractive risk-adjusted returns, driving increased penetration in the end markets we serve. We remain disciplined in our approach to acquisitions, particularly as it relates to our assessment of valuation, prospective synergies, diligence, cultural fit and ease of integration, especially in light of economic conditions.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion provides an analysis of our consolidated results of operations and results for each of our segments.

All acquisitions are described in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report. Duckt-Strip activity has been included in our results within our Contractor Solutions segment since the March 12, 2026 acquisition date. ProAction Fluids activity has been included in our results within our Specialized Reliability Solutions segment since the November 20, 2025 acquisition date. Hydrotex activity has been included in our results within our Specialized Reliability Solutions segment since the November 5, 2025 acquisition date. MARS Parts activity has been included in our results within our Contractor Solutions segment since the November 4, 2025 acquisition date. Aspen Manufacturing activity has been included in our results within our Contractor Solutions segment since the May 1, 2025 acquisition date.

Revenues, net

Net revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2026 increased $87.0 million, or 33.0%, as compared with the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was primarily due to the acquisitions of MARS Parts, Aspen Manufacturing, Hydrotex, and ProAction Fluids ($73.0 million or 27.7%). Organic revenue increased $14.0 million, or 5.3%, driven by pricing actions and higher unit volumes. Net revenue increased in the HVAC/R, general industrial, plumbing, and mining end markets and decreased in the architecturally-specified building products, rail transportation, and electrical end markets.

Gross Profit and Gross Profit Margin

Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2026 increased $41.9 million, or 36.3%, as compared with the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was primarily a result of increased revenue, partially offset by increases in material and freight costs. Gross profit margin of 44.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2026 increased as compared to 43.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was driven by pricing actions and favorable product mix, partially offset by increases in material and freight costs.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2026 increased $16.9 million, or 28.0%, as compared with the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was primarily due to added expenses related to the inclusion of MARS Parts, Aspen Manufacturing, Hydrotex and ProAction Fluids in the current period, including amortization of intangible assets and the acquisition-related integration expenses. The decrease in operating expenses as a percentage of revenues was attributable to the revenue growing faster than the operating expenses, resulted from successful operating expense leverage from recent acquisitions and organic revenue growth.

27

Operating Income

Operating income for the three months ended June 30, 2026 increased $25.0 million, or 45.5%, as compared with the three months ended June 30, 2025, as the result of the increase in gross profit, partially offset by the increase in operating expenses, as discussed above. Operating margin of 22.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2026 increased as compared to 20.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was driven by the aforementioned increase in gross profit margin and decrease in operating expenses as a percentages of revenue.

Other Income and Expense

Net interest expense of $12.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 increased $11.7 million as compared to net interest expense of $1.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase in the three months ended June 30, 2026 was due to the increased average borrowing under our RCF and TLA to fund the acquisitions (discussed in Note 2) and share repurchasing activities (discussed in Note 12).

Other expense, net of $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 increased $0.7 million, as compared to the net income of $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The change in the three months ended June 30, 2026 was due to the foreign currency gains/losses related to transactions in currencies other than functional currencies.

Provision for Income Taxes and Effective Tax Rate

For the three months ended June 30, 2026, we earned $66.9 million from operations before taxes and recognized income tax expenses of $17.1 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 25.6%. The provision for income taxes differed from the statutory rate for the three months ended June 30, 2026 primarily due to state income tax (net of federal benefit), executive compensation limitations, and provision for global intangible low-taxed income ("GILTI"); offset by excess tax deductions related to equity compensation, foreign tax credits, and foreign-derived intangible income (“FDII”).

For the three months ended June 30, 2025, we earned $54.4 million from operations before taxes and recognized income tax expenses of $13.2 million, resulting in

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

Our Company

We are a diversified industrial growth company with a strategic focus on providing niche, value-added products in the end markets we serve. We operate in three business segments: Contractor Solutions, Specialized Reliability Solutions and Engineered Building Solutions. Our products include mechanical products for heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration ("HVAC/R"), plumbing products, grilles, registers and diffusers ("GRD"), building safety solutions and high-performance specialty lubricants and sealants. End markets that we serve include HVAC/R, architecturally-specified building products, plumbing, general industrial, energy, mining, electrical and rail transportation. Our manufacturing operations are concentrated in the United States (“U.S.”), Vietnam and Canada, and we have distribution operations in the U.S., Australia, Canada and the United Kingdom (“U.K.”). Our products are sold directly to end-users or through designated channels in over 100 countries around the world, primarily including the U.S., Canada, the U.K. and Australia.

Drawing on our innovative and proven technologies, we seek to deliver solutions primarily to contractors that place a premium on superior performance and reliability. We believe our brands are well known in the specific end markets we serve and have a reputation for high quality. We rely on both organic growth and inorganic growth through acquisitions to provide an increasingly broad portfolio of performance optimizing solutions that meet our customers’ ever-changing needs. We have a successful record of making attractive, synergistic acquisitions in support of this objective, and we remain focused on identifying additional acquisition opportunities in our core end markets.

Many of our products are used to protect the capital assets of our customers that are expensive to repair or replace and are critical to their operations. We have a source of recurring revenue from the maintenance, repair and overhaul and consumable nature of many of our products. We also provide some custom engineered products that strengthen and enhance our customer relationships. The reputation of our product portfolio is built on more than 100 well-respected brand names, such as AC Guard®, Air Sentry®, Aspen ManufacturingTM, Balco®, Cover Guard®, Deacon®, Duckt-Strip®, Dust Free®, Falcon Stainless®, Greco®, Hydrotex®, Jet-Lube®, Kopr-Kote®, Leak Freeze®, MARS®, Metacaulk®, No. 5®, OilSafe®, PF WaterWorksTM, ProAction Fluids®, PSP ProductsTM, RectorSeal®, Safe-T-Switch®, Shoemaker Manufacturing®, Smoke Guard®, TRUaire®, Turbo 200® and Whitmore®.

Since February 2025, the President of the United States has issued various executive orders to regulate imports by imposing country-specific tariffs on multiple nations around the world, including Vietnam and China, which are relevant to our business due to our manufacturing presence in Vietnam and our use of third-party manufacturing in China and other foreign countries. In addition, the United States has imposed and/or reimposed certain commodity-specific tariffs, including tariffs on steel, aluminum and copper, which are used as inputs for some of our products. We have responded by negotiating cost reductions with certain suppliers, transitioning certain sources of supply, and by raising prices to our customers on certain products across our three segments to partially offset the impact. In February 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a decision invalidating tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act ("IEEPA"). The ruling may allow for recovery of IEEPA tariff amounts previously paid, although the timing and administration of any potential IEEPA tariff refunds is uncertain and may be subject to further legal and regulatory developments. We are assessing our potential refund rights and are pursuing for a recovery of amounts paid; however this recovery will likely be subject to applicable procedures and may add complexity and uncertainty into our operations. Additionally, the current presidential administration has imposed tariffs on goods imported into the United States pursuant to legislative authorities other than IEEPA and has indicated that it may continue to pursue these policies in the future. The current situation is dynamic, and the ultimate effect will be dependent on the magnitude and duration of the tariffs and the countries implicated, as well as our ability to mitigate their impact, where we continue to actively assess and implement mitigation options.

The ongoing conflict in the Middle East, including active military operations in Iran beginning February 28, 2026, has contributed to disruptions in global shipping lanes, particularly through the Strait of Hormuz and the broader Persian Gulf region. While we do not source materials directly from Iran or the Persian Gulf region, the conflict has contributed to elevated crude oil prices, ocean and domestic freight and certain commodity costs and extended lead times from Asian suppliers as

Business Developments

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, we committed to a plan to pursue a sale of the Greco US business and a strategic exit of the Greco Canada business (the "Greco Canada Exit"). As a result of these initiatives, we recorded a non-cash impairment expense of $15.6 million for the Greco US and Canada businesses, and recorded additional expenses of $2.1 million in connection with the Greco Canada Exit, both of which are reported in our Engineered Building Solutions segment.

On March 12, 2026, we acquired certain assets of Joyce Sales Group, LLC and Copper2Glass, LLC (collectively, “Duckt-Strip”) for a cash consideration of $21.0 million, which was funded with borrowings under our existing Revolving Credit Facility (as defined in Note 9). Duckt-Strip offers a differentiated, code‑compliant electrical cable solution purpose‑built for ductless HVAC/R systems.

On November 20, 2025, we acquired certain assets of ProAction Fluids, LLC (“ProAction Fluids”) for a cash consideration of $9.5 million, which was funded with borrowings under our existing Revolving Credit Facility. ProAction Fluids offers performance-tested drilling fluids, lubricants, sealants, and compounds for the horizontal directional drilling ("HDD") market that expand upon, and are complementary to, our existing general industrial product portfolio.

On November 5, 2025, we acquired certain assets of Hydrotex Holdings, Inc. (“Hydrotex”) for an aggregate purchase price of $17.0 million. The cash consideration was funded with borrowings under our existing Revolving Credit Facility. Hydrotex offers high-performance lubricants designed to enhance operational efficiency, reduce equipment wear, and extend service life that expand upon, and are complementary to, our existing general industrial products portfolio.

On November 4, 2025, we entered into a Fourth Amended and Restated Credit agreement (the "Fourth Credit Agreement") with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”) and collateral agent, and the lenders, issuing banks and swingline lender party thereto. The Fourth Credit Agreement, among other things, provides for: (i) the continuation of the existing Revolving Credit Facility in the aggregate principal committed amount of up to $700.0 million; (ii) the extension of the maturity date of the Revolving Credit Facility until November 4, 2030; and (iii) the establishment of a new senior secured term loan “A” credit facility (the “TLA”) in an aggregate principal amount of up to $600.0 million, and having a maturity date of November 4, 2030.

On November 4, 2025, we acquired 100% of the equity interests of Dusk Acquisition Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Motors & Armatures, LLC and HVAC South, LLC (collectively, “MARS Parts”) for an aggregate purchase price of $658.1 million. The cash consideration was funded with a combination of the TLA (as defined in Note 9) and borrowings under our existing Revolving Credit Facility. MARS Parts was one of the largest providers of HVAC/R parts and supplies in North America, and a leading provider of motors and capacitors. With a product mix more heavily focused on repair versus replacement, we expect MARS Parts will strategically complement our current HVAC/R end market, which traditionally has been more focused on new unit installations and replacements.

On May 2, 2025, the Company entered into a Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and other lenders party thereto. The Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement renewed the Company’s existing Revolving Credit Facility, which refreshed the term for five years and increased the commitment to $700.0 million. Refer to Note 9 for additional information.

On May 1, 2025, the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of the equity interests of Aspen Manufacturing, LLC ("Aspen Manufacturing") for an aggregate purchase price of $327.6 million, which was funded with cash on hand and borrowings under our existing Revolving Credit Facility. Aspen Manufacturing is one of the largest independent evaporator coil and air handler manufacturers for the HVAC/R industry and is recognized as a leader in product quality and indoor comfort. Aspen Manufacturing’s current product suite includes a vast range of high-quality residential and light commercial evaporator coils, blowers, and air handling units for single-family, multi-family, and manufactured homes.

Our Markets

HVAC/R

The HVAC/R market is our largest market served and it represented approximately 59% and 56% of our net revenues in the years ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. We provide an extensive array of products for installation, repair and maintenance of HVAC/R systems that includes condensate switches, pans and pumps, GRD, refrigerant caps, line set covers and other chemical and mechanical products. The industry is driven by replacement and repair of existing HVAC/R systems, as well as new construction projects. New HVAC/R systems are heavily influenced by macro trends, while replacement and repair of existing HVAC/R systems are dependent on weather and age of unit. The HVAC/R market tends to be seasonal with the peak sales season beginning in March and continuing through August. Construction and repair is typically performed by contractors, and we utilize our global distribution network to drive sales of our brands to such contractors.

Architecturally-Specified Building Products

Architecturally-specified building products represented approximately 14% and 17% of our net revenues in the years ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. We manufacture and sell products such as engineered railings, smoke and fire protection systems, expansion joints and stair edge nosings for end use customers including multi-family residential buildings, educational facilities or institutions, warehouses, construction companies, plant maintenance customers, building cont
