What improved

  • Revenue increased 42.8% versus the comparable filing period.
  • Operating margin improved 3.1 percentage points.

What weakened

  • Net income decreased 67.2% versus the comparable filing period.
  • Net margin fell 5.3 percentage points.

Filing receipts

The increase was primarily driven by the higher volume and favorable product mix in NSE partially offset by unfavorable product mix in OSP and an increase in amortization of intangibles.

NSE operating margin increased by 6.8 percentage points during the three months ended March 28, 2026 to 17.2% from 10.4% in the same period a year ago primarily due to higher volume resulting in operating leverage.

NSE operating margin increased by 8.5 percentage points during the nine months ended March 28, 2026 to 14.1% from 5.6% in the same period a year ago primarily due to higher volume resulting in operating leverage.
