Former Attorney General of Louisiana, Charles C. Foti, Jr., Esq., a partner at the law firm of Kahn Swick & Foti, LLC (“KSF”), announces that KSF has commenced an investigation into Hayward Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: HAYW).

On July 28, 2022, the Company disclosed disappointing second quarter 2022 results, including a significant inventory de-stocking as it was expecting its channel partners to reduce its inventory on hand by approximately 4 to 6 weeks in the second half of 2022. As a result, the Company updated its full year 2022 outlook expecting net sales to decline between 2% and 6% year-over-year, compared to prior guidance expecting net sales growth between 9% and 12% year-over-year, and cut expected 2022 adjusted earnings from a range of $460 million to $475 million to a range of just $385 million to $400 million.

Thereafter, the Company and certain of its executives were sued in a securities class action lawsuit, charging them with failing to disclose material information, violating federal securities laws. Recently, the court presiding over the case denied the Company’s motion to dismiss in part, allowing the case to continue.

KSF’s investigation is focusing on whether Hayward’s officers and/or directors breached their fiduciary duties to its shareholders or otherwise violated state or federal laws.
