Operating margin as a percent of sales declined to 16.8% from 17.6% in the quarter, driven by $13.5M of PSS acquisition-related transaction costs.
Approximately 97% of the Company's cash and cash equivalents were held outside the United States as of April 30, 2026, creating potential repatriation tax exposure.
Favorable foreign currency translation added 3.5% to total revenue growth this quarter versus a -0.7% drag in the prior-year quarter, indicating elevated FX sensitivity.
