Filing receipts
“Material Handling – Our Material Handling segment bookings increased 17% compared to the fourth quarter of 2025, primarily driven by higher demand for aftermarket parts primarily in North America.”
“Revenue at our Flow Control segment increased 7% in the first quarter of 2026, primarily driven by higher demand for parts and consumables products across all regions.”
“Net Income Net income increased to $25.8 million in the first quarter of 2026 from $24.4 million in the first quarter of 2025 primarily due to a $4.5 million increase in operating income, offset in part by a $0.7 million increase in interest expense and a $2.3 million increase in provision for income taxes (see discussions above for further details).”
