Core & Main cuts 2024 outlook as Q2 sales rise 5.5% but net income falls 23.2%

Mixed guidance Written later 2.02

Core & Main reported fiscal second-quarter 2024 net sales up 5.5% to $1.96 billion, helped by acquisitions, while net income fell 23.2% to $126 million and diluted EPS fell 7.6% to $0.61. The company lowered its full-year 2024 net sales and Adjusted EBITDA ranges, citing weather disruptions and lower end-market volumes, which matters to shareholders because it reduces the expected profit for the year.

  • Q2 net sales rose 5.5% to $1.96 billion; gross margin fell to 26.4% from 26.9%.
  • Full-year 2024 net sales range lowered to $7.3 to $7.4 billion; Adjusted EBITDA range lowered to $900 to $930 million.
  • Operating cash flow conversion range raised to 65% to 75% of Adjusted EBITDA.
  • Board approved a $500 million share repurchase program in June; net debt leverage was 2.7x as of July 28, 2024.

Briefs are written by AI from the filing text and can contain mistakes — open the filing before acting on anything. Impact (1-5) and tone are the AI's reading of the filing for shareholders, not a price forecast. Not investment advice.

Briefs marked “Written later” were written in November 2026 for filings that were by then more than three weeks old, so months before mid-October 2026 hold a selection: every material 8-K of the past year for the 100 largest companies we cover and the last 15 important 8-Ks of every other one. Briefs the number check holds back are not shown or counted. Also: the last 45 days, briefs by company, A–Z and the live SEC filings wire.
