What improved

  • Revenue increased 16.6% versus the comparable filing period.

What weakened

  • Operating income moved from a profit to a loss in the comparable period.
  • Operating cash flow remained negative at -5.5M.

Filing receipts

Cost of sales increased by $28.0 million, or 20.3%, to $166.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from $138.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 due to the increase in cost of sales being higher than the growth in revenue.

Net cash used in operating activities increased by $18.9 million to an outflow of $5.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 vs. an inflow of $13.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to an increase in cash incentive bonus payments as well as the impact of increases in working capital and a decrease in cash provided by net income after adding back non-cash expenses.

The primary reason for the increase in cost of sales was due to an increase in cost of products sold of $22.5 million and an increase of $4.7 million in tariffs.
