Filing receipts
“Consolidated cost of products sold in the first quarter of 2026 was $155.5 million, compared with $145.1 million in the same prior-year period primarily attributable to higher volume and a $1.7 million increase in tariff expenses.”
“Cash flow from operating activities decreased compared with the same period of 2025 reflecting higher cash earnings offset by higher working capital requirements, including higher inventory levels to support anticipated revenue growth in the coming quarters.”
“Aerospace segment operating profit of $35.3 million, or 16.5% of sales, improved over the prior-year period reflecting the leverage gained on higher volume, improving production efficiencies, a $2.8 million catch-up of profit on the MV-75 program based on revised program estimates, and a $7.0 million decrease in litigation-related expenses and legal reserve adjustments related to the UK patent dispute previously discussed.”
