Lennox International Provides 2026 Volume Outlook and Strategic Updates
LII
Guidance Update
Demand Weakening
New Projects/Investments
  • Lennox International projects full-year volumes to be down about mid-single digits in 2026, with the one-step channel (residential new construction) expected to decline more due to pricing pressures, while the two-step channel will experience significant volatility, being down in the first half and up in the second half.
  • Channel inventory is currently low, potentially lower than normal, following the R-410A obsolescence, and the company anticipates a return to demand-driven growth.
  • The company expects an overall cost portfolio increase of 2.5% for the year and plans a mid-single-digit type price increase, expecting about half of it to stick, to maintain margins.
  • Lennox anticipates an absorption headwind in Q1 2026 due to reduced production aimed at managing inventory levels, which is expected to be resolved by Q2, with excess inventory burning down in the second half of the year.
  • Lennox is strategically focusing on heat pump technology and SKU proliferation to gain market share, including a new commercial heat pump product designed to work with existing electrical infrastructure, and is expanding into growth verticals such as ductless solutions (via Samsung joint venture), water heaters (via Ariston joint venture), and parts and accessories.

Guidance Update
Demand Weakening
New Projects/Investments
  • Lennox International projects a mid-single-digit decline in full-year volumes for 2026, with residential new construction facing higher pressure and the two-step channel seeing first-half declines followed by second-half increases.
  • The company anticipates a mid-single-digit price increase in 2026, expecting about half to stick, and forecasts 2.5% cost inflation on its total cost portfolio, mitigated by fixed contracts and hedging.
  • A planned reduction in Q1 2026 production to manage inventory will create an absorption headwind in the first quarter, which is expected to be resolved by Q2, with excess inventory reducing in the second half of the year.
  • Despite a challenged commercial unitary market, Lennox is achieving growth in the emergency replacement segment and with national accounts, supported by electrification products and comprehensive service offerings.
  • Lennox is strategically focusing on heat pump technology proliferation and regional optimization to expand market share, including a ductless solution via a Samsung joint venture and a new commercial heat pump compatible with existing electrical infrastructure.

Guidance Update
New Projects/Investments
Demand Weakening
  • Lennox International forecasts a mid-single digit volume decline for the full year 2026, with residential new construction facing more pressure and the two-step channel experiencing first-half declines followed by second-half increases.
  • Channel inventory is currently low, indicating a growth position, and the company anticipates a healthy repair environment for the coming years, supported by factors like heat pump adoption and shorter equipment lifespans.
  • The company plans a mid-single-digit price increase for the year, expecting approximately half to be realized, and projects a 2.5% increase in its total cost portfolio for 2026, with commodity cost inflation largely mitigated by fixed contracts and hedging strategies.
  • Strategic growth areas include heat pumps (with new commercial products designed for existing electrical infrastructure), ductless solutions via the Samsung joint venture, and parts and accessories, where significant investments are being made.
  • An absorption headwind is expected to significantly impact Q1 2026 earnings due to reduced production for inventory management, though this is anticipated to resolve by Q2, potentially leading to an absorption benefit in the second half of the year.
