Current report

Net income increased for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared with the three months ended March 31, 2025 primarily due to favorable price/mix, higher volume and the favorable impact of foreign currency exchange rates, partially offset by the incremental tariff costs, higher manufacturing costs, and higher tax expense.

On February 20, 2026, the United States Supreme Court issued a decision invalidating the broad-based tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA).

The IEEPA tariffs remain subject to ongoing litigation between the United States government and other parties. In response to the U.S. Supreme Court ruling mentioned above, the United States government announced plans to implement new tariffs under alternative statutory authority.
