What weakened

No thresholded deterioration was identified.

Filing receipts

For the six months ended June 27, 2026, selling, general and administrative expenses increased compared to the corresponding prior-year period, primarily due to higher employee compensation costs resulting from increased performance-based compensation and higher commission expense driven by increased revenue levels, partially offset by lower restructuring charges and lower stock-based compensation expense.

The cash used in net working capital was primarily driven by increased accounts receivable, net, of $30.7 million and increased inventories of $19.6 million, partially offset by increased accounts payable of $14.5 million, increased accrued liabilities of $5.2 million, and increased deferred revenue of $3.4 million.

Systems — For the three and six months ended June 27, 2026, gross profit and gross margins increased compared to the three and six months ended June 28, 2025, primarily due to increased revenue from a favorable product mix on increased volumes, partially offset by an increase in manufacturing spending.
