HAYW
Hayward Holdings, Inc.
Is HAYW Halal?
Pool and outdoor-living equipment are generally permissible; known asset-based ratios pass, although leverage remains material and the result is methodology-dependent.
What You Should Know
Hayward makes pumps, filters, heaters, automation and other pool and outdoor-living equipment. Its March 28, 2026 Form 10-Q reports $3,135.583 million of assets, $953.809 million of tracked interest-bearing debt, $135.794 million of cash, $94.935 million of short-term investments and $430.878 million of receivables. Debt/assets is 30.42%, liquidity/assets is 7.36% and receivables-plus-cash/assets is 18.07%, below the examined limits. The filing reports $2.9 million of interest income, or 1.14% of quarterly net sales. Leverage is material and the June 2026 credit-agreement amendment should be reviewed in the next cycle.
⚠️ Concerns
- •Debt/assets is 30.42% ($953.809 million / $3,135.583 million), below but close to the examined limits
- •Short-term investments are included as identifiable interest-bearing securities
- •Interest income/revenue is 1.14%; no fixed purification percentage is inferred
- •Pool demand is discretionary and seasonal
- •Re-screen after the June 2026 credit amendment or a newer filing

Business-activity disclosure
Hayward makes pumps, filters, heaters, automation and other pool and outdoor-living equipment. Manufacturing this equipment is generally permissible, while pool-service end uses and financing arrangements remain qualitative.
Limitation: The filing does not quantify a universal prohibited-activity numerator for customers, pool-service applications or all financing-related income.
Purification
Hayward discloses $2.9 million of interest income, or 1.14% of quarterly net sales, but no scholar-approved fixed purification percentage is inferred.
Inputs, assumptions and primary sources
- Amounts are USD millions from Hayward Holdings' March 28, 2026 Form 10-Q.
- Debt combines $11.053 million of current debt and $942.756 million of long-term debt; operating leases are excluded.
- Cash and cash equivalents are $135.794 million and short-term investments are $94.935 million.
- Accounts receivable, net are $430.878 million and quarterly net sales are $255.216 million.
- The filing states that $2.9 million of interest income on cash deposits was included in net interest expense.
This is a reproducible financial screen, not a fatwa. A failed total-assets screen can coexist with a pass under a market-cap methodology. ZakatInvest keeps the qualitative assessment separate so numerical thresholds do not erase material context.
