2026 guidance implies fourth consecutive year of margin expansion

Lennox reported a difficult Q4 with revenue down 11% due to channel destocking and weak end markets, but achieved record full-year margins above 20%.

Q4 2025 revenue declined 11% driven by destocking and soft end markets; HCS revenue down 21%, BCS revenue up 8%.

The company plans to raise capital expenditures to $250 million in 2026, up from $120 million in 2025, targeting innovation centers, training centers, digital technology, distribution network optimization, ERP modernization, and AI tools.

A1

One-step channel destocking is nearly complete, while two-step channel destocking is expected to be complete in Q2 2026.

Доказательства
“One-step channel destocking is nearly complete, and two-step channel destocking is anticipated to be complete in the second quarter of this year.”
A2

The company is holding ~$200M more inventory than is seasonally typical, aligned to meet Q2 peak demand, and will continue production to avoid factory disruptions.

Доказательства
“We also have about $200 million more inventory than is seasonally typical, which will remain slightly elevated in the first quarter, but is aligned to meet second quarter peak demand.”
A3

The company expects repair inputs (like R-410A gas) to become significantly more expensive, which should tilt the repair vs. replace decision toward new system purchases.

Доказательства
“On the repair side, we expect the input costs there to be up significantly more than systems starting this year and into the next few years. Our 410A gas is going to be up.”
A4

Volume declines in Q4 were more severe than expected, primarily due to worse-than-anticipated residential new construction activity, which surprised management.

Доказательства
“I think the surprise for us was more on the residential new construction side, which I think performed worse than we expected.”
