Core & Main logged higher profit and earnings in its fiscal first quarter, prompting the company to back its full-year outlook.

The St. Louis-based distributor of water-related infrastructure products on Tuesday posted a profit of $105 million for its three months ended May 4, up slightly from $101 million in the same period a year earlier.

Earnings were 52 cents a share, in line with the consensus estimate of analysts surveyed by FactSet.

Revenue increased 9.8% to $1.91 billion. Analysts had modeled sales of $1.84 billion.

The company attributed its top-line growth to higher volumes and acquisitions. Increased sales of products including pipes, valves and fittings more than offset sales of fire-protection products, which fell year over year.

For the year, Core & Main backed its forecast for adjusted Ebitda--or earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization--of $950 million to $1 billion, as well as sales of $7.6 billion to $7.8 billion.

Wall Street expects adjusted Ebitda of $981.4 million and sales of $7.73 billion.

"As the macro environment continues to evolve, I am confident in our team's ability to adapt and maintain our focus on delivering the critical products and solutions valued by our customers and communities," Chief Executive Mark Witkowski said.
