Gibraltar’s $356 Million Quarter: Acquisition Growth Meets A Margin Squeeze!

Gibraltar Industries reported its first quarter 2026 results during a period marked by significant operational and market dynamics, including the completion of the OmniMax International acquisition in early February and ongoing commodity inflation pressures. Adjusted net sales rose 44.6% year-over-year to $356 million, reflecting two months of OmniMax contributions as well as prior metal roofing acquisitions. Organic growth in the Residential segment declined by 3%, weighed down by continued softness in the U.S. residential market, whereas the Agtech and Infrastructure segments showed solid demand albeit with some project shipments deferred into the second quarter. Adjusted EBITDA increased 16.1%, though adjusted diluted earnings per share declined by 50%, primarily due to a $14.6 million net interest expense increase and elevated raw material costs — notably aluminum prices which surged approximately 16% in the quarter.
