Rapid Growth in Multifamily Market and Strategic Investment Impact
Multifamily sales grew over 30% year-over-year, driven by early investments in multifamily projects, which provided a seasonal catalyst for growth.
The company made significant OpEx and CapEx investments to support multifamily project complexity, creating a competitive advantage and a head start for future market recovery.
These investments include project management, logistics, and inventory staging, which support long-term growth despite short-term inventory holding costs.
Strategic Inventory Rationalization and SKU Reduction Impact
The company conducted a thorough inventory rationalization, including legacy models, products no longer aligned with strategy, and Marlin-related items not in the future road map.
Nonrecurring charges of $17 million included inventory and asset write-offs ($5.7 million) and organizational realignment expenses ($3.7 million).
Approximately 70,000 units (roughly 20,000 each for three product lines) were moved out, impacting ASP by about $16 on average.
The rationalization aimed to optimize raw material use and streamline product offerings, not primarily cost savings.

Strategic Reshoring and Footprint Optimization with $30 Million Cost Savings in 2025
Management highlighted ongoing footprint restructuring projects, including eliminating six rooftops, with a total savings of approximately $30 million reflected in 2025 accounts.
Timing of benefits realization is complex, with most savings expected to materialize in 2026 and 2027.
CapEx is expected to increase in Q3 to support these projects, with a full run rate anticipated by 2027.
Network Recovery and Project Completion Accelerates Service Improvement
CSX's network performance has significantly bounced back from early-year challenges, with metrics approaching or surpassing recent historical levels.
Key projects, Howard Street Tunnel and Blue Ridge rebuild, are on schedule for completion in Q4, expected to remove major network constraints and enable double-stack intermodal on I-95.
Operational improvements, including yard drone inspections and capacity online adjustments, contributed to the service recovery, with further gains anticipated post-project completion.
