Filing receipts
“Our net sales for the quarter were $1.4 billion, an increase of 33% year-over-year that was primarily driven by a 25% year-over-year increase in pricing and 7% volume growth.”
“Net cash outflows from working capital changes in 2026 were primarily driven by increased inventory balances and lower accrued expenses.”
“The decrease is primarily due to the decrease in cash balance from the early tender debt payments of approximately $1.3 billion in the first quarter of 2026 using proceeds from the divestiture of the Refining Solutions business and ownership interest in the Eurecat joint venture.”
