What improved

  • Operating cash flow covered net income at 1.86x, improving versus the comparable period.

What weakened

  • Revenue decreased 2.0% versus the comparable filing period.

Filing receipts

The increase in working capital was primarily driven by an increase in receivables due to the timing of collections year-over-year, higher inventory purchases in consideration of customer demand, the timing of vendor payments compared with the prior year and the change in timing of cash incentive payouts in light of the Company’s change to a calendar year-end.

See the section titled “ Non-GAAP Reconciliations and Supplementary Information .” For the first quarter of 2026, net sales increased by 3.6% compared with the first quarter of 2025, primarily due to price inflation and incremental sales from acquisitions, partially offset by lower volume.

This increase in net sales was primarily driven by incremental sales from acquisitions of 5.8%, the impact of foreign currency exchange rates of 4.6% and low to mid-single digit price inflation.
