Material Changes vs. Prior Period
- Revenue Growth: Q2 2026 revenue increased 10% year-over-year, driven by a 9.3% organic volume increase and favorable foreign currency impacts. YTD revenue grew 7%.
- Profitability: Net income surged 85% in Q2 and 72% YTD, aided by improved gross margins (up 170 bps in Q2) and lower interest expense due to reduced debt balances.
- Order Backlog: Backlog increased 26% to $298.0M as of June 30, 2026, reflecting strong demand in Industrial and Aerospace & Defense sectors.
- Restructuring: Restructuring costs decreased 43% in Q2 compared to the prior year, as the Company continues its "Simplify to Accelerate NOW" strategy to realign manufacturing footprints.
- Cash Flow: Operating cash flow decreased significantly YTD ($20.1M vs $38.4M) due to higher inventory purchases and slower collections on receivables, partially offset by higher net income.
