Research dated 2026-09-13: Advanced Drainage Systems sells thermoplastic pipe and connected water-management systems for moving, storing, treating and dispersing water across construction, infrastructure and onsite wastewater applications.

What is Advanced Drainage Systems (WMS), and what does it report?
Short answer · as of
Advanced Drainage Systems is not merely a supplier of construction material. Its portfolio connects corrugated thermoplastic pipe with fittings, chambers, filters, separators, geosynthetics and drainage structures, while Infiltrator adds septic treatment and dispersal products.
Research dated 2026-09-13.
Advanced Drainage Systems is not merely a supplier of construction material. Its portfolio connects corrugated thermoplastic pipe with fittings, chambers, filters, separators, geosynthetics and drainage structures, while Infiltrator adds septic treatment and dispersal products.
Reported revenue therefore combines pipe demand with a broader set of stormwater, wastewater and soil-management applications sold into residential, nonresidential, agricultural and infrastructure work. Consolidated results also include eliminations between operating segments, so the headline reflects the portfolio after internal activity is removed.
What do the latest results show for Advanced Drainage Systems (WMS)?
Short answer · as of
The most recent reported quarter, Q1 FY2027, carried revenue of $1.00B.
Research dated 2026-09-13.
The latest period produced the strongest revenue, gross profit, operating profit and net income in the reported quarterly series. Revenue and earnings also cleared market estimates, extending a run of favorable surprises after earlier misses.
Those results establish the improvement but do not identify a single cause. Management instead emphasizes the fiscal calendar: revenue is expected to lean toward the earlier part of the year, while current spending is directed toward completing the Cordele expansion and adding automation and capacity at Infiltrator.
Where is operating spending going?
Revenue alongside research and development, selling, general and administrative expenses, and the FMP standardized operating result.

What are the financial strengths and risks for Advanced Drainage Systems (WMS)?
Short answer
Cash and short-term investments were $0.00 at the Jun 30, 2026 balance-sheet date. This figure does not establish a cash runway.
Research dated 2026-09-13.
Advanced Drainage Systems remains strongly profitable, with healthy gross, operating and net margins, and operating cash flow has stayed positive throughout the reported series. Recent operating cash generation comfortably exceeded capital spending, while liquidity ratios remain above parity and quality screens do not signal immediate distress.
The counterweight is financial leverage. Debt vastly exceeds cash and short-term investments, the cash balance has fallen sharply across the reported window, and annual net income has declined even as revenue recovered. A contraction in construction and infrastructure demand would therefore pressure the product portfolio while leaving less balance-sheet room to absorb weaker cash generation.
The recurring dividend has continued and the recent payment rate increased, adding another continuing use of cash alongside the capacity program.
What should you watch next at Advanced Drainage Systems (WMS)?
Short answer · as of
The next earnings report is expected on Nov 5, 2026.
Research dated 2026-09-13.
The next earnings release should be read against management’s expected seasonal pattern. The useful checks are whether revenue follows the anticipated shift toward the later part of the fiscal year, whether operating margins hold as sales change, and whether earnings continue to outrun market expectations.
Cordele and Infiltrator deserve separate attention. Capital spending should reveal whether the expansion is nearing completion as planned, while operating cash flow and the cash balance will show how comfortably the business is funding automation and added capacity alongside debt and dividends. Longer-range consensus estimates assume continued revenue and earnings expansion, making execution on these investments the relevant operating test.

How does Advanced Drainage Systems compare with its peers?
Short answer
Advanced Drainage Systems's score ranks 4th of 13 in the bounded comparison shown, against 12 same-model peers. These are company scores, not expected investment returns. The set lists named competitors first, then companies in the same data-provider industry classification closest in market value; that classification is the provider's, not our judgment of business similarity.
Research dated 2026-09-13.
Compared with a narrow pipe producer, Advanced Drainage Systems participates across more of the water-management system: conveyance, retention, detention, filtration, treatment and dispersal. Infiltrator broadens the mix into onsite wastewater, while allied products and geosynthetics place the company around the pipe rather than only inside it.
That breadth diversifies the applications served, but it does not detach results from project activity. Residential, nonresidential, agricultural and infrastructure customers still determine the underlying demand for these systems, and the reported fiscal pattern can create pronounced changes between periods.

What Investors Ask About Advanced Drainage Systems (WMS) — Basic Materials
Research dated 2026-09-13; the answers below are from that research, and the full attribution is under Sources. The last 2 questions are answered from this page's own dated data, not from the research.
What does Infiltrator add beyond Advanced Drainage Systems pipe products?
Infiltrator extends the portfolio into septic chambers, synthetic aggregate bundles, tanks, mechanical aeration, treatment and dispersal systems. That gives Advanced Drainage Systems exposure to onsite wastewater applications as well as stormwater conveyance and storage.
Why does the Cordele expansion matter to Advanced Drainage Systems?
Cordele is part of the current capital program, and management expects spending to decline as that expansion closes out. Progress there matters because completion should change the mix of investment demands placed on operating cash flow.
Why can Advanced Drainage Systems revenue vary across the fiscal calendar?
Management expects sales to concentrate in the earlier part of the fiscal year, so sequential comparisons can reflect timing as well as underlying demand. Period changes should therefore be judged alongside the company’s stated seasonal pattern.
Can Advanced Drainage Systems fund Infiltrator capacity while carrying substantial debt?
Recent operating cash flow has covered capital spending comfortably, supporting the current investment program. The sharp cash decline and debt load still make cash conversion, capital spending and liquidity important checks as Infiltrator capacity is added.

The 45 rows below are exactly the facts the evidence-backed sections of this page printed — the 10-second verdict, the MoonshotScore, price and market value, the five questions with their receipts, and the records behind this page. Known dates and sources are recorded on their own rows; an em dash or UNRECORDED tier preserves a stored observation without inventing either. The quarterly income statement is provider-standardized (FMP) under one row, and scale definitions — a 0-100 rating, the band ladder, the Piotroski 0–9 range — are fixed rather than measured.

The register does not cover quoted third-party headlines, the dated council readings, or the Frequently Asked Questions; each of those says where it came from where it stands.
"As of" is the date the value is true for where the source carries one — a quarter end, a filing date, a price close, the day the score was computed. A cached observation with no source date remains undated; the page publication date is not used as a substitute.
