The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X and, accordingly, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal and recurring adjustments, except as otherwise described herein) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company for all periods presented.

The unaudited consolidated results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026. The Company’s results of operations are affected by a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the cost to manufacture and distribute products, cost of raw materials, inflation, tariffs, consumer spending and preferences, interest rates, the impact of any supply chain disruptions, economic conditions, and/or any adverse effects from global health pandemics and geopolitical conflicts.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report of Trex Company, Inc. on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-05, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets." This guidance provides an optional practical expedient related to the estimation of expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and contract assets that arise from transactions accounted for under FASB Accounting Standards Codification 606. Specifically, this optional practical expedient allows an entity to assume that current conditions as of the balance sheet date will not change for the remaining life of the asset. The amendments to this update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. The Company adopted this practical expedient in the first quarter of 2026. Adoption of this practical expedient did not have a material impact on consolidated results of operations or financial position.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS NOT YET ADOPTED

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-11, "Interim Reporting (Topic 270)." This update is intended to improve the guidance in Topic 270, Interim Reporting by improving the navigability of the required interim disclosures and clarifying when the guidance is applicable. The amendments also provide guidance on what disclosures should be provided in interim reporting periods. The amendments add to Topic 270, a principle that requires entities to disclose events since the end of the last annual report period that have a material impact on the entity. The amendments to this update are effective for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027 for public business entities. The amendments in this update may be applied prospectively or retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The company does not believe adoption of this update will have a material impact on its disclosures.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40)." This guidance clarifies and modernizes when an entity is required to begin capitalizing software costs. Specifically, it requires capitalization when both of the following are met (i) management has authorized and committed to funding the software

project and (ii) it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended. The amendments to this update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption of this update is permitted. The amendments to this update may be applied prospectively, retrospectively, or on a modified transition approach. The Company does not believe adoption of this update will have a material impact on its consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, “Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Disaggregation Disclosures.” This guidance requires more detailed disclosure about the types of expenses presented within the expense captions of the financial statements. Specifically, disclosure of purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization are required on both an interim and annual basis. In addition, a qualitative description of remaining amounts in relevant expense captions which have not separately been disaggregated will be required on an interim and annual basis. On an annual basis, disclosure of an entity’s definition of selling expenses and the amount of selling expenses is required. The amendments to this update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption of this update is permitted. The amendments to this update should be applied prospectively to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date of the update or retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company believes adoption will result in expanded financial statement footnote disclosure but does not believe adoption of this update will have a material impact on its consolidated results of operations. The Company is continuing to evaluate the impacts of adoption.

The Company’s intangible assets, purchased in 2018, 2024, 2025, and 2026 consist of domain names and internal use software. Intangible asset amounts were determined based on the estimated economics of the asset and are amortized over the estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis over 15 years for domain names and 10 years for internal use software related to the Company's ERP and other platform tools, which approximates the pattern in which the economic benefits are expected to be received. The Company evaluates the recoverability of intangible assets periodically and considers events or circumstances that may warrant revised estimates of useful lives or that may indicate an impairment.

DEBT

Revolving Credit Facility

Indebtedness prior to March 26, 2026. On October 10, 2024, the Company, entered into a Second Amendment to the Credit Agreement (Second Amendment) with certain lending parties thereto (Lenders) to amend that Credit Agreement dated as of May 18, 2022, as amended by that certain First Amendment dated as of December 22, 2022.

The Second Amendment provides the Company with Revolving A Loans in the maximum principal amount of $400,000,000 (Revolving A Loans), Revolving B Loans in the maximum principal amount of $150,000,000 (Revolving B Loans), and Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans (as defined in the Credit Agreement). The Second Amendment extends the maturity date of the Revolving B Loans from December 22, 2024 to December 22, 2026.

Base Rate Loans (as defined in the Credit Agreement) under the Revolving A Loan and the Swing Line Loans accrue interest at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and Term SOFR Loans for the Revolving Loans accrue interest at the rate per annum equal to the sum of Term SOFR for such interest period plus the Applicable Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement). The Base Rate for any day is a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the highest of (a) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%, (b) the rate of interest in effect for such day as publicly announced from time to time by BOA as its prime rate, and (c) the Term SOFR plus 1.0% subject to certain interest rate floors. Repayment of all then outstanding principal, interest, fees and costs is due at the end of the Term (as defined in the Credit Agreement).

With respect to Revolving B Loans (as defined in the Credit Agreement), for any day, the rate per annum is a tiered pricing based upon the Consolidated Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio. The applicable rate for Revolving B Loans that are Base Rate Loans range between 0.20% and 1.15%. and the applicable rate for Revolving B Loans that are Term SOFR/Term SOFR Daily Floating Rate range between 1.20% and 2.15%.

Indebtedness on and after March 26, 2026. On March 26, 2026, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement with certain lending parties thereto (Lenders) to amend and restate the Credit Agreement dated as of May 18,2022, as amended (the Prior Credit Agreement).

The Credit Agreement provides the Company with one or more Revolving Loans in a collective maximum principal amount of $700,000,000 (Loan Limit) throughout the term, which ends March 26, 2031. Included within the Loan Limit are sublimits for, Letters of Credit (as defined in the Credit Agreement) in an amount not to exceed $60,000,000, and Swing Line Loans (as defined in the Credit Agreement) in an amount not to exceed $40,000,000.

Base Rate Loans (as defined in the Credit Agreement) under the Revolving Loans and the Swing Line Loans accrue interest at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and Term SOFR Loans or Term SOFR Daily Floating Rate Loans for the Revolving Loans accrue interest at the rate per annum equal to the sum of Term SOFR Loans/Term SOFR Daily Floating Rate for such interest period plus the Applicable Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement). The Base Rate for any day is a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the highest of (a) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%, (b) the rate of interest in effect for such day as publicly announced from time to time by BOA as its prime rate, and (c) the Term SOFR plus 1.0% subject to certain interest rate floors. Repayment of all then outstanding principal, interest, fees and costs is due on the last day of the Term (as defined in the Credit Agreement).

As of March 31, 2026, the Company had $382.5 million in borrowings outstanding under its revolving credit facility. The total availability under the revolving credit facility was $314.4 million as of March 31, 2026, which reflects a reduction for outstanding letters of credit totaling $3.1 million. The weighted average interest rate on the revolving credit facility was 4.6% as of March 31, 2026.

Compliance with Debt Covenants and Restrictions

Pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Company is subject to certain loan compliance covenants. The Credit Agreement requires the Company to maintain (a) a Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio of not less than 2.50 to 1.0 and (b) a Consolidated Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio of not more than 3.75 to 1.0, each measured as of the end of each Fiscal Quarter, commencing with the Fiscal Quarter ended June 30, 2026. The maximum Consolidated Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio is automatically increased to 4.25 to 1.0 for the Fiscal Quarter in which a qualifying Acquisition with cash consideration (including assumed or acquired Debt) of $75,000,000 or more occurs and each of the following four Fiscal Quarters (an "Adjustment Period"), subject to a limit of two Adjustment Periods during the term of the Credit Agreement.

The Credit Agreement also contains an equity cure mechanism, under which the Company may make cash equity contributions (funded with proceeds of common equity) to be included in the calculation of Consolidated EBITDA solely for purposes of determining compliance with the financial covenants, subject to certain conditions and limitations, including that in each consecutive four Fiscal Quarter period there must be at least two Fiscal Quarters in which no such contribution is made.

The Company was in compliance with all covenants as of March 31, 2026. Failure to comply with the financial covenants could be considered a default of repayment obligations and, among other remedies, could accelerate payment of any amounts outstanding.

LEASES

The Company leases manufacturing and training facilities, storage warehouses, office space, and certain plant equipment under various operating leases. The Company’s operating leases have remaining lease terms of up to 11 years. Lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025, total operating lease expense was $3.3 million and $3.0 million, respectively.

STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Earnings Per Share

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share (in thousands, except share and per share data):


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2026		2025
Numerator:
Net income available to common shareholders	$	61,403	$	60,434
Denominator:
Basic weighted average shares outstanding		105,058,351		107,180,665
Effect of dilutive securities:
Stock appreciation rights and options		15,000		34,543
Restricted stock		59,160		68,876
Diluted weighted average shares outstanding		105,132,511		107,284,084
Basic earnings per share	$	0.58	$	0.56
Diluted earnings per share	$	0.58	$	0.56

Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares determined for the basic earnings per share computation plus the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents using the treasury stock method. The computation of diluted earnings per share excludes the following potentially dilutive securities because the effect would be anti-dilutive:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2026		2025
Stock appreciation rights		160,044		129,069
Restricted stock		175,010		92,795

Stock Repurchase Program

On May 4, 2023, the Trex Board of Directors adopted a stock repurchase program (2023 Stock Repurchase Program) of up to 10.8 million shares of its outstanding common stock. The 2023 Stock Repurchase Program has no set expiration date. On February 26, 2026, Trex entered into an Accelerated Stock Repurchase program (ASR) under the 2023 Stock Repurchase Program. As such, the Company made a prepayment of $100 million to Wells Fargo and received an initial delivery of 1.9 million shares valued at approximately 80% of the prepayment amount. During the three months ended, March 31, 2026, the Company repurchased 1.9 million shares under the ASR based on the initial delivery described in the preceding sentence. The total number of shares the Company will ultimately repurchase and the average price per share will be based on the average of the daily volume-weighted average prices of its

common stock during the term of the ASR Agreement, less a negotiated discount and subject to customary adjustments, and is expected to occur no later than the second quarter of 2026.

As of March 31, 2026 the remaining number of shares available for repurchase under the 2023 Stock Repurchase Program is 5,516,405.

On April 28, 2026, the Trex Board of Directors authorized an additional 10 million shares to be repurchased under the 2023 Stock Repurchase Program.

13.

REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS

The Company principally generates revenue from the manufacture and sale of its high-performance, low-maintenance, eco-friendly wood-alternative decking and railing products and accessories. Substantially all of its revenues are from contracts with customers, which are purchase orders of short-term duration of less than one year. Its customers, in turn, sell primarily to the residential market, which includes replacement, remodeling and new construction related to outdoor living products. The Company satisfies its performance obligations at a point in time. The shipment of each product is a separate performance obligation as the customer is able to derive benefit from each product shipped and no performance obligation remains after shipment. Upon shipment of the product, the customer obtains control over the distinct product and Trex satisfies its performance obligation. Any performance obligation that remains unsatisfied at the end of a reporting period is part of a contract that has an original expected duration of one year or less. Any variable consideration related to the unsatisfied performance obligation is allocated wholly to the unsatisfied performance obligation, is recognized when the product ships and the performance obligation is satisfied and is included in “Accrued expenses and other liabilities, Sales and marketing” in Note 8 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025, the Company’s net sales were $343,403 and $339,993, respectively. During these periods, revenues were recognized at a point in time upon transfer of its outdoor living products under variable consideration contracts into the building products market.

14.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

At the annual meeting of stockholders of the Company held on May 4, 2023, the Company’s stockholders approved the Trex Company, Inc. 2023 Stock Incentive Plan (Plan). The Company’s board of directors unanimously approved the Plan on April 10, 2023, subject to stockholder approval. The Plan amends and restates in its entirety the Trex Company, Inc. 2014 Stock Incentive Plan (2014 Plan), which was last approved by the Company’s stockholders at the annual meeting held on April 30, 2014. The Plan, which will be administered by the compensation committee of the board of directors, provides for the grant of stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights and unrestricted stock, which are referred to collectively as “awards.” Awards may be granted under the Plan to officers, directors (including non-employee directors) and other employees of the Company or any subsidiary thereof, to any adviser, consultant, or other provider of services to the Company (and any employee thereof), and to any other individuals who are approved by the board of directors as eligible to participate in the Plan. Only employees of the Company or any subsidiary thereof are eligible to receive incentive stock options. Subject to certain adjustments as provided in the Plan, the total number of shares of common stock available for future grants under the Plan is 3,409,507 shares.

The following table summarizes the Company’s stock-based compensation grants for the three months ended March 31, 2026:


	Stock Awards Granted		Weighted- Average Grant Price Per Share
Time-based restricted stock units		124,974	$	41.43
Performance-based restricted stock units (a)		104,560	$	44.34

(a)

Includes 84,878 of target performance-based restricted stock unit awards granted during the three months ended March 31, 2026, and adjustments of 19,682 grants due to the actual performance level achieved for restricted stock and restricted stock units awarded in 2023.

The fair value of each SAR is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing formula. No SARs were issued in the three months ended March 31, 2026. For SARs issued in the three months ended March 31, 2025, the data and assumptions shown in the following table were used:


	Three Months Ended March 31, 2025
Weighted-average fair value of grants	$	33.49
Dividend yield		0	%
Average risk-free interest rate		4.3	%
Expected term (years)		5
Expected volatility		51.7	%

The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense ratably over the period from the grant date to the earlier of: (1) the vesting date of the award, or (2) the date the grantee is eligible to retire without forfeiting the award. For performance-based restricted stock and performance-based restricted stock units, expense is recognized ratably over the performance and vesting period of each tranche based on management’s judgment of the ultimate award that is likely to be paid out based on the achievement of the predetermined performance measures. For the employee stock purchase plan, compensation expense is recognized related to the discount on purchases. Stock-based compensation expense is included in “Selling, general and administrative expenses” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. The following table summarizes the Company’s stock-based compensation expense (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2026		2025
Stock appreciation rights	$	272	$	295
Time-based restricted stock and restricted stock units		1,431		826
Performance-based restricted stock and restricted stock units		875		1,140
Employee stock purchase plan		56		52
Total stock-based compensation	$	2,634	$	2,313

Total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested awards as of March 31, 2026 was $18.2 million. The cost of these unvested awards is being recognized over the requisite vesting period of each award.

15.

INCOME TAXES

The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025, was 26.5% and 25.9%, which resulted in income tax expense of $22.1 million and $21.2 million, respectively.

During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025, the Company realized $(0.1) million and $(0.1) million, respectively, of excess tax expense from stock-based awards and recorded a corresponding expense to income tax expense.

The Company analyzes its deferred tax assets each reporting period, considering all available positive and negative evidence in determining the expected realization of those deferred tax assets. As of March 31, 2026, the Company maintains a valuation allowance of $2.2 million against deferred tax assets primarily related to state tax credits it estimates will expire before they are realized.

The Company operates in multiple tax jurisdictions, and, in the normal course of business, its tax returns are subject to examination by various taxing authorities. Such examinations may result in future assessments by these taxing authorities, and the Company accrues a liability when it believes that it is more likely than not that benefits of tax positions will not be realized. The Company believes that adequate provisions have been made for all tax returns subject to examination. As of March 31, 2026, for certain tax jurisdictions tax years 2021 through 2025 remain subject to examination. Sales made to foreign distributors are not taxable in any foreign jurisdiction as the Company does not have a taxable presence in any foreign jurisdiction.

16.

SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company operates in one reportable segment, with resource allocation and assessment of financial performance based on a consolidated basis.

Trex manufactures wood alternative decking and railing and related outdoor living products marketed under the brand name Trex®. The products are sold to its distributors and two national retailers who, in turn, sell primarily to the residential market, which includes replacement, remodeling and new construction.

The Company’s reportable segments are determined in accordance with its internal management structure, which is based on operations. The Company has identified its President and Chief Executive Officer as the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM).

The Company’s CODM has final authority over resource allocation decisions and performance assessments and makes key operating decisions. The primary objective of the CODM is to optimize positive Company-wide performance and financial results. The CODM evaluates segment performance primarily based on net income and net sales. The CODM uses net income to assess performance and allocate resources as this measure provides insight into all aspects of the segment’s operations and overall success of the segment for a given period. The CODM also uses net sales to assess performance and allocate resources as this measure represents the amount of business the segment engaged in during a given period of time, is an indicator of market growth and acceptance of segment products, and represents the segment’s customers’ spending habits along with the amount of product the segment sells relative to its competitors. In addition, the CODM reviews significant segment expenses with a primary focus on cost of sales and total selling, general, and administrative expenses. These measures are provided in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Segment assets are reported on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

17. SEASONALITY

The operating results for Trex have historically varied from quarter to quarter. Seasonal, erratic or prolonged adverse weather conditions may reduce the level of home improvement and construction activity and can shift sales of its products to a later period or decrease overall sales in affected locations. As part of its normal business practice and consistent with industry practice, Trex has historically offered incentive programs to its distributors and dealers to build inventory levels before the start of the prime deck-building season in order to ensure adequate availability of its product to meet anticipated seasonal consumer demand. The seasonal effects are often offset by the positive effect of the incentive programs.

18.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Product Warranty

The Company warrants that for the applicable warranty period its products, when properly installed, used and maintained, will be free from material defects in workmanship and materials and its decking, cladding, fascia and railing products will not split, splinter, rot or suffer structural damage from termites or fungal decay.

Products sold on or after January 1, 2023: The warranty period for residential use is 50 years for Transcend® decking, 35 years for Select® decking and Universal Fascia, and 25 years for Enhance® decking and Transcend, Select, Enhance and Signature® railing. The warranty period for commercial use is 10 years, excluding Signature railing and Transcend cladding, which each have a warranty period of 25 years. The Company further warrants that Trex Transcend, Trex Enhance and Trex Select decking and cladding and Universal Fascia products will not fade in color from light and weathering exposure more than a certain amount and will be resistant to permanent staining from food and beverage substances or mold and mildew, provided the stain is cleaned within seven days of appearance, for the warranty period referred to above. If there is a breach of such warranties, the Company has an obligation either to replace the defective product or refund the purchase price.

Products sold prior to January 1, 2023: The warranty period is 25 years for residential use and 10 years for commercial use. With respect to Trex Signature railing, the warranty period is 25 years for both residential and commercial use. The Company further warrants that Trex Transcend, Trex Enhance, Trex Select and Universal Fascia products will not fade in color more than a certain amount and will be resistant to permanent staining from food substances or mold, provided the stain is cleaned within seven days of appearance, for the warranty period referred to above. If there is a breach of such warranties, the Company has an obligation either to replace the defective product or refund the purchase price.

The Company maintains a warranty reserve for the settlement of its product warranty claims. The Company accrues for the estimated cost of product warranty claims at the time revenue is recognized based on such factors as historical claims experience and future claims experience. To estimate our future claims experience, the Company utilizes actuarial techniques to determine a reasonable possible range of amounts to be paid related to defects covered by our product warranty. The actuarial techniques consider claims received, claims closed, and the corresponding amounts paid. Estimates for these elements are quantified using a range of assumptions derived from claim history and consideration of additional factors influencing claim counts or costs incurred to settle claims in order determine the best estimate of future claims for which to record a related liability. Management reviews and adjusts these estimates, if necessary, based on the differences between actual experience and historical estimates.

The Company monitors claims activity each quarter for indications that its estimates require revision. The Company uses the best and most complete underlying information available and a rational methodology to determine its warranty obligations. The Company considers all available evidence to assess the reasonableness of all key assumptions underlying its estimated warranty obligations.

The Company’s analysis is based on currently known facts and a number of assumptions, as discussed above, and current expectations. Projecting future events such as the number of claims to be received, the number of claims that will require payment and the costs associated with settling claims could cause the actual warranty liability to be higher or lower than projected, which could materially affect the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Legal Matters

The Company has lawsuits, as well as other claims, pending against it which are ordinary routine litigation and claims incidental to the business. Management has evaluated the merits of these lawsuits and claims and believes that their ultimate resolution will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations, liquidity or competitive position.

Industrial Revenue Bonds

In October 2021, the Company announced plans to add a third manufacturing facility located in Little Rock, Arkansas (Little Rock). Construction on the new facility began in the second quarter of 2022. In connection with the construction of the new facility, during 2024 the Company and Little Rock entered into an agreement in which Little Rock agreed to issue up to $450 million of its industrial revenue bonds (IRBs) for the purpose of constructing a manufacturing facility. Under the agreement, the Company transferred ownership of the facility to Little Rock and simultaneously leased the related asset from Little Rock. The Company is also the purchaser of the IRBs and, therefore, is the bondholder as well as the borrower/lessee of the Little Rock facility purchased with the IRB proceeds.

As a result of the agreement, the Company was able to reduce the cost of certain state and local tax expenditures for twenty years. The Company has a purchase option included in the lease agreement for below the fair value of the asset, which prevents the transfer of the asset to Little Rock from being recognized as a sale. Furthermore, the Company has not derecognized the transferred asset and continues to recognize it in property, plant and equipment in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company has the right and intends to set-off any obligations to make payments under the finance liability, with proceeds due from the IRBs. The liability and IRB asset are equal and are reported net in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of March 31, 2026, the gross asset and liability associated with the IRBs was $450 million.

OPERATIONS AND PRODUCTS

Trex is the world’s largest manufacturer of high-performance wood alternative decking and railing products and a leader in outdoor living products, which are marketed under the brand name Trex® and manufactured in the United States. With more than 30 years of product experience, we offer a comprehensive set of aesthetically appealing and durable, low-maintenance product offerings in the decking, railing, fencing and outdoor lighting categories. A majority of the products are eco-friendly and leverage recycled and reclaimed materials to the extent possible. Trex decking is made in a proprietary process that combines reclaimed wood fibers and recycled polyethylene film, making Trex one of the largest recyclers of plastic film in North America. In addition to resisting fading and surface staining, Trex products require no sanding and sealing, resist moisture damage, provide a splinter-free surface and do not require chemical treatment against rot or insect infestation. Combined, these aspects yield significant aesthetic advantages and lower maintenance than wood decking and railing and ultimately render Trex products less costly than wood over the life of the deck. Special characteristics (including resistance to splitting, the ability to bend, and ease and consistency of machining and finishing)

facilitate installation, reduce contractor call-backs and afford consumers a wide range of design options. Trex products are sold to distributors and home centers for final resale primarily to the residential market.

Trex offers the following products:


Decking and Accessories	Our principal decking products are Trex Signature®, Trex Transcend® Lineage™, Trex Transcend®, Trex Refuge™, Trex Select®, and Trex Enhance®.

*A reconciliation of Net Income (GAAP) to EBITDA (non-GAAP) is presented on page 20 of this document under “Net Income and Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA).”

Capital expenditures and intangibles. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we spent a total of $25.0 million on capital expenditures and intangibles, including $13.0 million for the Arkansas manufacturing facility, $2.6 million in cost reduction initiatives, $1.9 million for our ERP tool and other platforms, and $7.5 million in all other including capacity expansion in our existing facilities.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

General. Our results of operations are affected by a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the cost to manufacture and distribute products, cost of raw materials, inflation, interest rates, tariffs, consumer spending and preferences, the impact of any supply chain disruptions, economic conditions, and any adverse effects from global health pandemics and geopolitical conflicts.

Conflict with Iran. To date, U.S. and Israel's conflict with Iran has not materially affected our business or our results of operations. We will continue to closely monitor the potential economic impact of the conflict on commodity and fuel prices, supply chains, pricing of raw materials, and its impact on consumer confidence. We cannot predict the impact continued conflict may have on the economy, our industry, or our business.

Net Sales. Net sales consist of sales, net of discounts. The level of net sales is principally affected by sales volume and the prices paid for Trex products. Trex operating results have historically varied from quarter to quarter. Seasonal, erratic or prolonged adverse weather conditions in certain geographic regions reduce the level of home and commercial improvement and residential and commercial construction and can shift sales of our products to a later period or decrease overall sales in affected locations. As part of our normal business practice and consistent with industry practice, we have historically provided our distributors and dealers of our Trex products incentives to build inventory levels before the start of the prime deck-building season to ensure adequate availability of our product to meet anticipated seasonal consumer demand and to enable production planning. These incentives include payment discounts, favorable payment terms, price discounts, or volume rebates on specified products and other incentives based on increases in purchases as part of specific promotional programs. The timing of our incentive programs can significantly impact sales, receivables and inventory levels during the offering period.

Gross Profit. Gross profit represents the difference between net sales and cost of sales. Cost of sales consists of raw material costs, direct labor costs, manufacturing costs, subcontract costs and freight. Raw material costs generally include the costs to purchase and transport reclaimed wood fiber, reclaimed polyethylene, pigmentation for coloring our products, and commodities used in the production of railing. Direct labor costs include wages and benefits of personnel engaged in the manufacturing process. Manufacturing costs consist of costs of depreciation, utilities, maintenance supplies and repairs, indirect labor, including wages and benefits, and warehouse and equipment rental activities.

Tariffs account for less than 5% of our cost of sales. The majority of tariffs are related to purchases of aluminum and steel used in our railing and fastening products. We have and will further mitigate some of the impact on our cost of sales through supplier negotiations and pricing actions.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. The largest component of selling, general and administrative expenses is personnel related costs, which includes salaries, commissions, incentive compensation, and benefits of personnel engaged in sales and marketing, accounting, information technology, corporate operations, research and development, and other business functions. Another component of selling, general and administrative expenses is branding and other sales and marketing costs, which are used to build brand awareness. These costs consist primarily of advertising, merchandising, and other promotional costs. Other general and administrative expenses include professional fees, office occupancy costs attributable to the business functions previously referenced, and consumer relations expenses. As a percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses may vary from quarter to quarter due, in part, to the seasonality of our business.

Below is the discussion and analysis of our operating results and material changes in our operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2026 (2026 quarter) compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025 (2025 quarter).

Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 Compared To The Three Months Ended March 31, 2025

Net Sales


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2026		2025		$ Change		% Change
	(dollars in thousands)
Net sales	$	343,403	$	339,993	$	3,410		1.0	%

Net sales increased by $3.4 million, or 1%, in the 2026 quarter compared to the 2025 quarter. The increase was substantially due to price increases taken in the second quarter of 2025, partially offset by a decrease in volume. First quarter volume is largely driven by channel stocking to support the second and third quarter peak buying season. With our level load production strategy implemented in 2025, we have elected to reduce channel inventories for the early part of the year and rely on our own inventory to support peak channel requirements later in the year, resulting in lower first quarter volume.

Gross Profit


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2026			2025			$ Change		% Change
	(dollars in thousands)
Cost of sales	$	204,381		$	202,262		$	2,119		1.0	%
% of total net sales		59.5	%		59.5	%
Gross profit	$	139,022		$	137,731		$	1,291		0.9	%
Gross margin		40.5	%		40.5	%

Gross profit as a percentage of net sales, gross margin, was 40.5% in the 2026 quarter and the 2025 quarter. Gross margin in the 2026 quarter was favorably impacted by pricing and absorption due to higher production compared to the 2025 quarter, offset by increased incentives.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2026			2025			$ Change			% Change
	(dollars in thousands)
Selling, general and administrative expenses	$	55,517		$	56,068		$	(551	)		(1.0	)%
% of total net sales		16.2	%		16.5	%

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $0.5 million to $55.5 million, or 16.2% of net sales, in the 2026 quarter. The decrease was related to a $3.0 million reduction in personnel expenses primarily for decreased self-insured medical costs and incentive compensation partially offset by increases of $1.4 million in branding, and $0.8 million in research and development costs.

Provision for Income Taxes


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2026			2025			$ Change		% Change
	(dollars in thousands)
Provision for income taxes	$	22,102		$	21,153		$	949		4.5	%
Effective tax rate		26.5	%		25.9	%

The effective tax rate for the 2026 quarter was 26.5% compared to 25.9% in the 2025 quarter. The increase in the effective tax rate for the 2026 quarter compared to the 2025 quarter was primarily the result of a reduction in the allowable deduction for foreign derived intangible income.

Net Income and Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA)1 (dollars in thousands)

Reconciliation of net income (GAAP) to EBITDA (non-GAAP):


	Three Months Ended March 31, 2026		Three Months Ended March 31, 2025
Net income	$	61,403	$	60,434
Interest expense (income), net		—		76
Income tax expense		22,102		21,153
Depreciation and amortization		18,371		14,249
EBITDA	$	101,876	$	95,912


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2026		2025		$ Change		% Change
	(dollars in thousands)
EBITDA	$	101,876	$	95,912	$	5,964		6.2	%

EBITDA increased 6.2% to $101.9 million for the 2026 quarter compared to $95.9 million for the 2025 quarter. The increase in EBITDA was primarily driven by an increase in net sales and gross profit.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We finance operations and growth primarily with cash flows from operations, borrowings under our revolving credit facilities, operating leases and normal trade credit terms from operating activities. At March 31, 2026, we had $4.5 million of cash and cash equivalents.

Sources and Uses of Cash. The following table summarizes our cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2026			2025
Net cash used in operating activities	$	(118,425	)	$	(154,013	)
Net cash used in investing activities		(24,912	)		(79,965	)
Net cash provided by financing activities		144,022			237,649
Net increase in cash and cash equivalents	$	685		$	3,671

Operating Activities

Cash used in operations was $118.4 million during the 2026 quarter compared to cash used in operations of $154.0 million during the 2025 quarter. The $35.6 million decrease in cash used in operating activities was primarily related to higher accounts payable and a lower increase in accounts receivable in the 2026 period relative to the prior year period. These favorable impacts were partially offset by inventory changes, as the 2026 period reflected smaller reduction in inventory compared to the prior year period.

Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities for capital expenditures and intangibles in the 2026 quarter was $25.0 million primarily related to $13.0 million for the Arkansas manufacturing facility, $2.6 million in cost reduction initiatives, $1.9 million for our ERP tool and other platforms, and $7.5 million in all other including capacity expansion, and maintenance upgrades.

__________________________

1EBITDA represents net income before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). We have included data with respect to EBITDA because management believes it facilitates performance comparison between the Company and its competitors. Management considers EBITDA to be an important supplemental indicator of our core operating performance because it eliminates interest, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization charges to net income. In relation to competitors, EBITDA eliminates differences among companies in capitalization and tax structures, capital investment cycles and ages of related assets. For these reasons, management believes that EBITDA provides important information regarding the operating performance of the Company. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, the Company’s reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP and are not meant to be considered superior to or a substitute for our GAAP results.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities in the 2026 quarter consisted primarily of net borrowings under our line of credit.

Stock Repurchase Program. On May 4, 2023, the Trex Board of Directors adopted a stock repurchase program (2023 Stock Repurchase Program) of up to 10.8 million shares of its outstanding common stock. The 2023 Stock Repurchase Program has no set expiration date. On February 26, 2026, Trex entered into an Accelerated Stock Repurchase program (ASR) under the 2023 Stock Repurchase Program. As such, we made a prepayment of $100 million to Wells Fargo and received an initial delivery of 1.9 million shares valued at approximately 80% of the prepayment amount. During the three months ended, March 31, 2026 we repurchased 1.9 million shares under the ASR based on the initial delivery described in the preceding sentence. The total number of shares we will ultimately repurchase and the average price per share will be based on the average of the daily volume-weighted average prices of our common stock during the term of the ASR Agreement, less a negotiated discount and subject to customary adjustments, and is expected to occur no later than the second quarter of 2026.

As of March 31, 2026 the remaining number of shares available for repurchase under the 2023 Stock Repurchase Program is 5,516,405.

On April 28, 2026, our Board of Directors authorized an additional 10 million shares to be repurchased under the 2023 Stock Repurchase Program.

Revolving Credit Facility

Indebtedness prior to March 26, 2026. On October 10, 2024, Trex entered into a Second Amendment to the Credit Agreement (Second Amendment) with certain lending parties thereto (Lenders) to amend that Credit Agreement dated as of May 18, 2022, as amended by that certain First Amendment dated as of December 22, 2022.

The Second Amendment provides us with Revolving A Loans in the maximum principal amount of $400,000,000 (Revolving A Loans), Revolving B Loans in the maximum principal amount of $150,000,000 (Revolving B Loans), and Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans (as defined in the Credit Agreement). The Second Amendment extends the maturity date of the Revolving B Loans from December 22, 2024 to December 22, 2026.

Indebtedness on and after March 26, 2026. On March 26, 2026 Trex entered into a Credit Agreement with certain lending parties thereto (Lenders) to amend and restate the Credit Agreement dated as of May 18,2022, as amended (the Prior Credit Agreement).

The Credit Agreement provides us with one or more Revolving Loans in a collective maximum principal amount of $700,000,000 (Loan Limit) throughout the term, which ends March 26, 2031. Included within the Loan Limit are sublimits for, Letters of Credit (as defined in the Credit Agreement) in an amount not to exceed $60,000,000 and Swing Line Loans (as defined in the Credit Agreement) in an amount not to exceed $40,000,000.

At March 31, 2026, we had $382.5 million in borrowings outstanding under our revolving credit facility. The total availability under the revolving credit facility was $314.4 million as of March 31, 2026, which reflects a reduction for outstanding letters of credit totaling $3.1 million.

Compliance with Debt Covenants and Restrictions. Pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Company, is subject to certain loan compliance covenants. The Credit Agreement requires the Company to maintain (a) a Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio of not less than 2.50 to 1.0 and (b) a Consolidated Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio of not more than 3.75 to 1.0, each measured as of the end of each Fiscal Quarter, commencing with the Fiscal Quarter ended June 30, 2026. The maximum Consolidated Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio is automatically increased to 4.25 to 1.0 for the Fiscal Quarter in which a qualifying Acquisition with cash consideration (including assumed or acquired Debt) of $75,000,000 or more occurs and each of the following four Fiscal Quarters (an "Adjustment Period"), subject to a limit of two Adjustment Periods during the term of the Credit Agreement.

The Company was in compliance with all covenants at March 31, 2026. Failure to comply with the financial covenants could be considered a default of repayment obligations and, among other remedies, could accelerate payment of any amounts outstanding.

We believe that cash on hand, cash from operations and borrowings expected to be available under our revolving credit facilities will provide sufficient funds to fund planned capital expenditures, make scheduled principal and interest payments, fund warranty payments, and meet other cash requirements. We currently expect to fund future capital expenditures from operations and financing activities. The actual amount and timing of future capital requirements may differ materially from our estimate depending on the demand for Trex products and new market developments and opportunities.

Capital Requirements. Our capital expenditure guidance for 2026 is $100 million to $120 million. Our capital allocation priorities for 2026 include expenditures for internal growth opportunities, manufacturing cost reductions, upgrading equipment and support systems, and acquisitions which fit our long-term growth strategy as we continue to evaluate opportunities that would be a good strategic fit for Trex, and return of capital to shareholders.

Inventory in Distribution Channels. We sell our decking and railing products through a tiered distribution system. We have over 100 distributor locations worldwide and two national retail merchandisers to which we sell our products. The distributors in turn sell the products to dealers and retail locations who in turn sell the products to end users. Significant increases in inventory levels in the distribution channel without a corresponding change in end-use demand could have an adverse effect on future sales.

Product Warranty. We warrant that for the applicable warranty period our products, when properly installed, used and maintained, will be free from material defects in workmanship and materials and our decking, cladding, fascia and railing products will not split, splinter, rot or suffer structural damage from termites or fungal decay.

Products sold on or after January 1, 2023: The warranty period for residential use is 50 years for Transcend® decking, 35 years for Select® decking and Universal Fascia, and 25 years for Enhance® decking and Transcend, Select, Enhance and Signature® railing. The warranty period for commercial use is 10 years, excluding Signature railing and Transcend cladding, which each have a warranty period of 25 years. We further warrant that Trex Transcend, Trex Enhance and Trex Select decking and cladding and Universal Fascia products will not fade in color from light and weathering exposure more than a certain amount and will be resistant to permanent staining from food and beverage substances or mold and mildew, provided the stain is cleaned within seven days of appearance, for the warranty period referred to above. If there is a breach of such warranties, we have an obligation either to replace the defective product or refund the purchase price.

Products sold prior to January 1, 2023: The warranty period is 25 years for residential use and 10 years for commercial use. With respect to Trex Signature railing, the warranty period is 25 years for both residential and commercial use. We further warrant that Trex Transcend, Trex Enhance, Trex Select and Universal Fascia products will not fade in color more than a certain amount and will be resistant to permanent staining from food substances or mold, provided the stain is cleaned within seven days of appearance, for the warranty period referred to above. If there is a breach of such warranties, we have an obligation either to replace the defective product or refund the purchase price.

We maintain a warranty reserve for the settlement of our product warranty claims. We accrue for the estimated cost of product warranty claims at the time revenue is recognized based on such factors as historical claims experience and future claims experience. To estimate our future claims experience, we utilize actuarial techniques to determine a reasonable possible range of amounts to be paid related to defects covered by our product warranty. The actuarial techniques consider claims received, claims closed, and the

corresponding amounts paid. Estimates for these elements are quantified using a range of assumptions derived from claim history and consideration of additional factors influencing claim counts or costs incurred to settle claims in order to determine the best estimate of future claims for which to record a related liability. We review and adjust these estimates, if necessary, based on the differences between actual experience and historical estimates.

We monitor claims activity each quarter for indications that our estimates require revision. We use the best and most complete underlying information available and a rational methodology to determine our warranty obligations. We consider all available evidence to assess the reasonableness of all key assumptions underlying our estimated warranty obligations.

Our analysis is based on currently known facts and a number of assumptions, as discussed above, and current expectations. Projecting future events such as the number of claims to be received, the number of claims that will require payment and the costs associated with settling claims could cause the actual warranty liability to be higher or lower than projected, which could materially affect our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Seasonality. The operating results for Trex have historically varied from quarter to quarter. Seasonal, erratic or prolonged adverse weather conditions in certain geographic regions may reduce the level of home improvement and construction activity and can shift sales of our products to a later period or decrease overall sales in affected locations. As part of its normal business practice and consistent with industry practice, Trex has historically offered incentive programs to its distributors and dealers to build inventory levels before the start of the prime deck-building season in order to ensure adequate availability of its product to meet anticipated seasonal consumer demand. The seasonal effects are often offset by the positive effect of the incentive programs.
