Largest Expense Items

Cost of goods sold (excluding amortization)$343.3M+10% YoY

Reflects increased spend on higher sales volumes and elevated global raw material costs.

Selling, general and administrative expenses$140.5M+11% YoY

Higher incentive compensation, increased business transformation costs under 2026 program, and unfavorable FX impacts.

Interest expense$9.9M-23% YoY

Lower outstanding borrowings and decreases in interest rates; partially offset by higher weighted-average rates on Amended Credit Facility.

Restructuring and related charges, net$8.1M-8% YoY

Headcount reductions and facility closure costs under 2022 and 2026 restructuring programs.

Margins: Reported gross margin held flat at 35.5% despite higher raw material costs, supported by new business volume gains and pricing actions. Non-GAAP gross margin declined 50 bps to 35.5% YoY, reflecting pricing pressure offset partially by favorable product mix.

EMEA goodwill impairment: $88.8M non-cash charge in Q2 2025 due to soft end markets and tariff uncertainty; no impairment in Q2 2026, but EMEA margin recovery still modest at 20.6% vs. historical levels.

Debt refinancing completed: April 2026 amendment extended maturity to April 2031, increased revolver to $800M (from $500M), with $400M interest rate swaps at 3.58% fixed plus margin; interest rate risk remains elevated.
Restructuring cash outflows declining: Q2 2026 $11.3M YTD restructuring payments vs. $15.9M in prior year period; 2026 program expected to generate $20-30M annualized savings by 2028.
