Selling, General and Administrative Expenses: Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) for the three months ended June 30, 2026, increased 8% to $1.53 billion (or 31.3% of sales) from $1.41 billion (or 31.2% of sales) for the same period one year ago.”
“The Company recorded compensation expense for these other share-based compensation plans in the amount of $ 3.5 million and $ 4.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, which were primarily included in “Selling, general and administrative expenses” on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

“As a result of the impacts discussed above, operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2026, increased 10% to $1.83 billion (or 19.3% of sales) from $1.66 billion (or 19.1% of sales) for the same period one year ago. 18 Other Income and Expense: Total other expense for the three months ended June 30, 2026, increased 16% to $62 million (or 1.3% of sales) from $53 million (or 1.2% of sales) for the same period one year ago.”
