Gross Profit
Gross profit for the second quarter of 2026 increased from the same period last year due to higher volume, the net benefit of pricing and raw material costs, including material re-engineering, benefits from productivity initiatives, including savings from restructuring actions, net of transition costs, and favorable foreign currency translation, partially offset by unfavorable mix and higher employee-related costs.
Marketing, General and Administrative Expense
