What improved

No thresholded improvement was identified.

What weakened

  • Revenue decreased 10.1% versus the comparable filing period.
  • Cash declined 17.0M versus the comparable period.
  • Gross margin fell 2.2 percentage points.

Filing receipts

The decrease in cash provided by operating activities was primarily driven by a net loss in the current period compared to net income in the prior-year period, partially offset by an increase in deferred income taxes and a decrease in net working capital in the first three months of 2026.

Gross margin and income (loss) before income taxes are driven by the segment’s significant expense items of cost of sales and compensation and benefits, as well as other segment items.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $18.4 million, or 2.0%, primarily due to decreased variable compensation as a result of decreased sales, partially offset by additional operating expenses from locations acquired within the last twelve months.
