Perimeter Solutions Posts Q1 Results Beating Expectations as Executives Sell Millions in Stock Perimeter Solutions reported strong Q1 2026 results, with earnings and revenue ahead of analyst expectations, supported by organic growth and contributions from the MMT acquisition.
The company secured long-term supply contracts with CAL FIRE and the U.S. Defense Logistics Agency, providing extended visibility on demand for its fire safety products.
Following these results, CFO Kyle J. Sable and President, Global Fire Safety, Jeffrey Emery exercised large stock option positions and sold millions of dollars of shares, while retaining significant unexercised options.
The mix of earnings and revenue beats, plus new long-term contracts, indicates that management is aligning the business around a longer-term framework and ongoing capacity investments.
At the same time, the scale of insider selling after exercising options is worth tracking, as it may raise questions for you about management’s personal exposure to the stock even as the company highlights confidence in its financial framework and contract pipeline.

Perimeter Solutions, Inc. Provides an Update on Stockholder Class Action Lawsuit On October 1, 2025, Plaintiff Bruce Taylor (“Plaintiff”), a purported stockholder of Perimeter filed a putative class action complaint (“Complaint”) in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (“Court”) against the Company and two members of Board of Directors, Haitham Khouri, and Vivek Raj (the “Director Defendants” and collectively, with the Company, the “Defendants”) under the caption Taylor v. Perimeter Solutions, Inc., C.A. No. 2025-1118-JTL (the “Action”). Plaintiff alleged that Defendants breached the Company’s certificate of incorporation and violated Section 141 of the Delaware General Corporation Law by permitting the Director Defendants to serve as directors until 2027 without standing for annual elections. The Defendants believe that the allegations of the Complaint were meritless, deny those allegations, and deny that any violation of applicable law has occurred. Solely to minimize expenses and distraction and to avoid the uncertainty of any litigation, however, on October 29, 2025, Perimeter’s Board of Directors adopted resolutions approving or confirming, as applicable, the election of the Director Defendants (including to any vacancies on the Board of Directors). On October 30, 2025, the Company filed a Form 10-Q disclosing that the Director Defendants will stand for election at the 2026 annual meeting and annually thereafter. Plaintiff agreed that these actions (the “Mooting Actions”) mooted his claims. On November 7, 2025, the parties entered into a proposed Stipulation and Order Dismissing the Action as Moot and Retaining Jurisdiction to Determine Plaintiff’s Counsel’s Application for an Award of Attorneys’ Fees and Expenses (the “Stipulation and Proposed Order”), pursuant to which the Court would retain jurisdiction regarding any application Plaintiff might make for an award of attorneys’ fees, which the Court entered. The Court retained jurisdiction to approve a form of notice concerning attorneys’ fees payable to Plaintiff in connection with the Mooting Actions. Following negotiation among the parties, with the intent to avoid further litigation and legal costs, and not as an admission of any of the Plaintiff’s claims, the Company subsequently agreed to pay $725,000 in attorneys’ fees and expenses in full satisfaction of any and all claims by Plaintiff and all of his counsel for fees and expenses in the Action. On December 22, 2025, the Court entered an order closing the Action, subject to the Company filing an affidavit with the Court confirming that this notice has been issued. In entering the order, the Court was not asked to review, and did not pass judgment on, the payment of the attorneys’ fees and expenses or their reasonableness.

Tourlite Capital - Perimeter Solutions: Checks All Our Boxes For An Investment Summary
Perimeter Solutions is a significant position in the fund which experienced an ~50% drawdown since we made our initial investment.
Perimeter’s shares sold off over 10%.
Based on our 2023 projections, at the current share price of around $9, Perimeter is trading around a 6% free cash flow yield.
We see a path to near $1 per share of free cash flow by 2025.
The following segment was excerpted from this fund letter.
Perimeter Solutions (PRM)
Perimeter is the sole qualified provider of aerial fire retardant for many applications. This mission critical product represents a small portion of its customers’ spend, and revenue is recurring in nature as long-term secular tailwinds (growth in number and size of fires) support growth. Perimeter is led by what we consider to be an experienced, best-in-class, capital allocation focused management team.
Perimeter checks our boxes for an investment. It is a market leader in a growing market, strong cash flow generation and return on capital, talented management team, trading at an attractive valuation.
On December 12th, Morgan Stanley published a note from management’s road show:
“PRM's major competitive moat in its core market remains its greatest value proposition — and the greatest investor debate… Near term, it seems likely that Fortress (the potential entrant) will reach full qualification for usage by the US Forest Service in 2023. However, this will likely carry more headline than practical risk. The real point of contention is whether it is logistically efficient for firefighting agencies to use multiple, non-compatible fire-retardant solutions.”
Perimeter’s shares sold off over 10%. We agree that the risk is more in the headline than risk to the underlying business and market share.
We believe there are a few reasons the stock continues to trade where it does today:
1. Concern over the approval of a potential competitor's product for aerial use
The risk of a competitor taking market share is unlikely. Perimeter is currently the only supplier with USDA approval. While it is likely Fortress will be approved in the near-term, Perimeter’s infrastructure and integration into the supply chain provides a lasting competitive advantage to help maintain market share. This, combined with the fact that Perimeter’s product represents only ~3% of customers suppression spend, makes it challenging and unlikely for Federal and State agencies to switch providers.
2. Variability in earnings as a result of variation in fire season
We understand fire seasons are not perfectly linear but the overall trend in acres burned continues to support unit growth. We believe there was some misunderstanding of the fire suppression market this year. This year’s fire season had a large number of acres burned in Alaska. Since fire retardants are not often used in remote locations where the fire is not a threat to humans or infrastructure, this did not provide support to Perimeters volumes.
3. Some investors are turned away by unique compensation structure
In our view, if it’s a clearly defined plan and you can model it out, you can account for it going forward. We like a management team that is paid to perform and has skin in the game.
Revenue should be able to compound around 10% from a combination of increased volumes and mid-single digit price increases. Volume growth will be fueled by continued increases in acres burned, larger fires, and further stretched out fire seasons. Outside of its North American Fire business, additional growth should come from underpenetrated international markets and the Specialty Products segment. International is currently around 20% of revenues and gaining traction. The second leg of Perimeter, which gets less focus and represents 1/3rd of revenues, is Specialty Products which, as of the third quarter, has grown year-over-year revenues 40% and has more than doubled EBITDA.
