communities affected. It is clear that the existing

management problems for many communities.
A Letter from our CEO
Dear Fellow Shareholders,
In Fiscal 2024, ADS recorded its ninth
consecutive year of record profitability. Adjusted
EBITDA increased 2% to $923 million due
to better-than-expected performance from
the Infiltrator business and Allied products
portfolio, effective management of price/cost,
strong operational execution and the benefit
of previous investments across both ADS and
Infiltrator. In addition, the Adjusted EBITDA
margin increased 270 basis points to 32.1%, the
highest annual profit margin in the Company s
history, despite a 6% decrease in revenue. End
market demand improved significantly in the
second half of Fiscal 2024, primarily due to
the notable improvements in the residential
and infrastructure end markets. The nonresidential, agriculture and international end
markets also improved in the second half of
the year. We are proud of this year s financial
results and remain committed to driving
above market performance as we advance
the stormwater and onsite septic wastewater
industries through highly engineered solutions
that ensure successful management of water.
ADS is a pure-play water company that plays
a critical role in developing sustainable water
management solutions to protect and manage
the world s most precious resource, water.
The last several years have shown a secular
trend of large-scale, water-related climate
events increasing in frequency, duration, and
intensity. As demonstrated in the chart below,
there were 27 of these large-scale events in
2023, with an estimated total cost of over $88
billion. By comparison, if we look back twenty
years, there were just six events in 2003.

In Fiscal 2024, we surveyed Americans about
water management and infrastructure
in their communities. Over half of the
respondents indicated concern about
stormwater management infrastructure in their
communities, and one out of five experienced
flooding in their homes. The survey results
also made it clear that Americans are not
just worried about protecting their homes,
but also ensuring stormwater management
practices are environmentally sustainable and
improving quality of life in their communities.

These results are further corroborated by the
growing body of evidence concerning the state
of water management practices. In November
2023, the U.S. Global Change Research Program
(USGCRP) completed The Fifth National Climate
Assessment, a report issued at least every four
years that serves as the U.S. Government s
preeminent report on climate change
impacts, risks, and responses. With respect to
stormwater, the report indicated the following:

To further our leading position in the
onsite septic wastewater market, Infiltrator
launched the ECOPOD-NX in January 2024, an
advanced treatment solution for onsite septic
wastewater management. This product is
the next generation of advanced wastewater
treatment technology designed to meet new
regulations that require higher levels of nitrogen
reduction to protect watersheds and the
environment. With this new product, Infiltrator
will leverage its leading market knowledge and
distribution network to penetrate new areas
of the growing advanced treatment market.
These partnerships and product launches
demonstrate our strategic commitment to
improving the environment and communities
through innovative water management
solutions. Our premier cash generation
ability, scale, and market position enable
us to organically invest in these programs,
bringing more effective solutions to market
that address the need for better water
management solutions in North America. As
demonstrated by the investments highlighted
on the following page, we re investing from
end-to-end, building an engineering and
technology center, expanding pipe production
and recycling capacity, and investing in
technology to improve customer service and
order execution among other initiatives.
As we continue to grow the company, we also
continue to focus on sustainability initiatives
and have several important updates from Fiscal
2024. In August, we signed the UN Global
Compact, another step in our commitment to
operate the business responsibly, align with
universal sustainability principles and take
actions to support society. Additionally, we
introduced two important policies this year,
a Biodiversity Policy and a Supplier Code of
Conduct, to ensure we are interacting with

Look for more information in our Fiscal 2024
Sustainability Report, to be issued later this year.
Finally, as we look forward to Fiscal 2025, we
expect to repeat this year s record Adjusted
EBITDA margin performance. Notably, this is
after a 770-basis point increase over the last 2
years. We expect a better demand environment
to lead to volume growth and fixed cost
absorption as well as operational efficiency, as
we reap the benefit from capital investments we
have made in manufacturing and transportation
over the last several years. On behalf of the
ADS leadership team and Board of Directors,
I would like to thank the employees for their
hard work throughout the past year, as well as
their commitment to the future of ADS. We look
forward to another strong year in Fiscal 2025.
Thank you for your continued support.
Sincerely,

To further our leading position in the
onsite septic wastewater market, Infiltrator
launched the ECOPOD-NX in January 2024, an
advanced treatment solution for onsite septic
wastewater management. This product is
the next generation of advanced wastewater
treatment technology designed to meet new
regulations that require higher levels of nitrogen
reduction to protect watersheds and the
environment. With this new product, Infiltrator
will leverage its leading market knowledge and
distribution network to penetrate new areas
of the growing advanced treatment market.
These partnerships and product launches
demonstrate our strategic commitment to
improving the environment and communities
through innovative water management
solutions. Our premier cash generation
ability, scale, and market position enable
us to organically invest in these programs,
bringing more effective solutions to market
that address the need for better water
management solutions in North America. As
demonstrated by the investments highlighted
on the following page, we re investing from
end-to-end, building an engineering and
technology center, expanding pipe production
and recycling capacity, and investing in
technology to improve customer service and
order execution among other initiatives.
As we continue to grow the company, we also
continue to focus on sustainability initiatives
and have several important updates from Fiscal
2024. In August, we signed the UN Global
Compact, another step in our commitment to
operate the business responsibly, align with
universal sustainability principles and take
actions to support society. Additionally, we
introduced two important policies this year,
a Biodiversity Policy and a Supplier Code of
Conduct, to ensure we are interacting with

Look for more information in our Fiscal 2024
Sustainability Report, to be issued later this year.
Finally, as we look forward to Fiscal 2025, we
expect to repeat this year s record Adjusted
EBITDA margin performance. Notably, this is
after a 770-basis point increase over the last 2
years. We expect a better demand environment
to lead to volume growth and fixed cost
absorption as well as operational efficiency, as
we reap the benefit from capital investments we
have made in manufacturing and transportation
over the last several years. On behalf of the
ADS leadership team and Board of Directors,
I would like to thank the employees for their
hard work throughout the past year, as well as
their commitment to the future of ADS. We look
forward to another strong year in Fiscal 2025.
Thank you for your continued support.
Sincerely,
D. Scott Barbour
President and CEO
