Filing receipts
“That result includes margin expansion in the quarter, primarily driven by favorable price realization, and benefits from operational productivity and higher unit volume, that was partially offset by margin contraction from material and other cost inflation, including tariff expense.”
“Total Other Expense Total other expense increased by $8.3 million in the first quarter of 2026 to $27.4 million, primarily due to higher net interest expense of $8.2 million, due to higher average outstanding debt in the first quarter of 2026, primarily driven by Term Loan borrowing of $600 million in the fourth quarter of 2025 to fund a portion of the DMC acquisition.”
“The decrease in operating margin was primarily due to approximately ten percentage points of margin contraction driven by higher material and other cost inflation, including tariff expense and higher restructuring investment.”
