Management Commentary

"Hillman delivered a strong second quarter, with robust free cash flow and top line growth of 10%, which is in line with our long-term growth targets," commented Jon Michael Adinolfi, President and CEO of Hillman. "Consistent demand for our hardware products, healthy new business wins - including in Pro distribution - and low-double digit growth in our Robotics and Digital Solutions business due to our MinuteKey 3.5 rollout, drove healthy growth during the quarter."

"Given our continued execution and the expected contribution from the Kanebridge acquisition, we are raising the midpoint of full-year Net Sales guidance and our Adjusted EBITDA expectations, while reiterating our free cash flow guidance midpoint."

"We continue to execute our Blueprint for strategic growth. Kanebridge, together with recent acquisitions Campbell Chain and Fittings and Delaney Hardware, expand our categories, capabilities, and the channels we serve. As we look to the rest of the year, we remain confident in our ability to manage the dynamic market environment while taking great care of our customers and delivering value for our shareholders."
