Note: Due to a shift in several retailers’ merchant category codes (MCC) into the pool supplies category, additional retailers are included

in our data beginning in March 2019, therefore all MoM and YoY prior to March 2020 exclude these additional retailers. All MoM and

YoY changes post Feb 2020 include these additional retailers. HAYW: Hayward Holdings
