Here are the key takeaways from Gibraltar Industries’ conference call:

• Input-cost inflation—notably a ~16% aluminum spike—plus a $14.6M net interest impact drove adjusted EPS down ~50% in Q1, though price increases across brands were implemented and are expected to improve price/cost realization in Q2.
• Integration progress is underway: the IMO completed 500+ milestones, the synergy target was raised to $26M with $16.3M already realized in 2026, and commercial 80/20, digital, and SKU-harmonization initiatives are expected to accelerate EBITDA gains in H2.
• Balance-sheet actions: Gibraltar used eBOS proceeds to pay down debt, ending Q1 with ~$1.2B net debt and 3.9x leverage (including expected synergies), and reiterated a deleveraging roadmap targeting ~2.5x leverage within ~24 months while assuming a ~$25M Q2 renewables settlement.
