Dear CSWI Stakeholders,
Fiscal 2024 marked our ninth year as an independent, publicly
traded company. This journey has been marked by significant
growth, consistent outperformance of the markets we serve,
and substantial increases in shareholder value. Our collective
efforts to build a great company and enduring value have
propelled us to new heights, and I am delighted to share the
highlights of our most recent successes with you.
CULTURE, SAFETY,
AND SUCCESS
From our inception, we have aspired
to create a distinctive, employeefocused culture. We are driven by the
convictions that our employees are
worthy of our care and that a strong
culture forms the foundation for
sustainable success. As we continued
to demonstrate in fiscal 2024, we
remain committed to recruiting
and retaining great talent, offering
rewarding careers with the opportunity
for a secure and dignified retirement,
and recognizing and developing team
members who excel. Our employees
drive our success daily because
their interests are aligned with our
shareholders through profit sharing
and employee ownership.
Markers of our culture and the success
it breeds can be found across our
organization. Last year, we were
honored to be added to the Forbes list
of America s Best Small Companies,
and we would have been pleased to
repeat that recognition in fiscal 2024.
However, based on our strong growth
and increase in shareholder value,

External recognition of our culture
and success is certainly welcome, but
it means little without first ensuring
that we are taking good care of our
employees. As our most important
asset, our team members benefit
from our focus on, and investments
in, employee safety and wellness. I
am perhaps most pleased to share
that fiscal 2024 was CSWI s safest
year on record. We achieved a Total
Recordable Incident Rate ( TRIR ) of
markets we serve and delivered our
seventh consecutive year of increases
in revenue and earnings before interest,
taxes, depreciation, and amortization
( EBITDA ). Moreover, we again
executed on all elements of our capital
allocation strategy, efficiently allocating
capital according to a rigorous,
risk-adjusted returns analysis. This
ultimately resulted in record growth in
shareholder value.
