“Segment operating profit (loss) Three Months Ended Dollar Percentage (In millions, except percentages) June 30, 2026 June 30, 2025 Increase (Decrease) Increase (Decrease) Segment operating profit (loss) $ 62.4 $ 40.9 $ 21.6 53 % Percentage of segment revenues 8 % 5 % The increase in our communication services segment operating profit was primarily due to higher earnings contributions of $19.7 million, reflecting higher service revenue margins.”
