Net sales of $212.7 million increased $43.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 year-over-year and net sales of $389.0 million increased $70.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 year-over-year, mainly due to an increase in energy and, to a lesser extent, communication sales, led by PLP-USA. While these sales amounts are the highest in the Company's history, tariffs, especially Section 232 tariffs, and geopolitical developments continue to present headwinds related to raw material imports and commodity prices, impacting essential inputs like steel, aluminum and plastic resins. While we continue to manage trade matters and commodity prices proactively, further tariff increases or geopolitical events may give rise to inflationary pressures, which may require further price adjustments to maintain profit margin, and any price increases may have a negative effect on demand. Please see Note 5 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further considerations on tariffs and refund process as a result of the February 2026 Supreme Court ruling.
