NOTE H —Segment Information

The Company is organized and managed withintwo regions: Americas & Asia and Europe & Australia, which are the reportable segments. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), who is also the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), uses segment profit in measuring segment performance, allocating resources, evaluating performance in periodic reviews, and during the development of the annual budget and the regular forecasting process. The CODM considers budget-to-actual variances on a quarterly basis, as well as segment-specific forecasting, when making decisions about the allocation of operating and capital resources to each segment. The CODM also uses the segment’s net sales in measuring segment performance.

The following is a summary of segment information as of and for the three and six months ended January 31, 2026 and 2025:

NOTE I —Net Income per Common Share

Reconciliations of the numerator and denominator of the basic and diluted per share computations for the Company’s Class A and Class B common stock are summarized as follows:

Potentially dilutive securities attributable to outstanding stock options and restricted stock units were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share where the combined exercise price and average unamortized fair value were greater than the average market price of the Company’s Class A Nonvoting Common Stock because the effect would have been anti-dilutive. There wereno anti-dilutive shares for the three months ended January 31, 2026 and 2025. The amount of anti-dilutive shares were 9,234 and 8,639 for the six months ended January 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

NOTE J —Fair Value Measurements

In accordance with fair value accounting guidance, the Company determines fair value based on the exchange price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. The inputs used to measure fair value are classified into the following hierarchy:

Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments that are accessible as of the reporting date.

Level 2 — Other significant pricing inputs that are either directly or indirectly observable.

Level 3 — Significant unobservable pricing inputs, which result in the use of management’s own assumptions.

The following table summarizes the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of January 31, 2026 and July 31, 2025:

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument:

Deferred compensation plan assets: The Company’s deferred compensation investments consist of investments in mutual funds, which are included in “Other assets” on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. These investments were classified as Level 1 as the shares of these investments trade with sufficient frequency and volume to enable us to obtain pricing information on an ongoing basis.

Foreign exchange contracts: The Company’s foreign exchange contracts were classified as Level 2 as the fair value was based on the present value of the future cash flows using external models that use observable inputs, such as interest rates, yield curves and foreign exchange rates. See Note K, “Derivatives and Hedging Activities,” for additional information.

The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and other liabilities approximated carrying values due to their short-term nature.

NOTE K —Derivatives and Hedging Activities

The Company utilizes forward foreign exchange currency contracts to reduce the exchange rate risk of specific foreign currency denominated transactions. These contracts typically require the exchange of a foreign currency for U.S. dollars at a fixed rate on a future date, with maturities of less than 18 months, which qualify as cash flow hedges or net investment hedges under the accounting guidance for derivative instruments and hedging activities. The primary objective of the Company’s foreign currency exchange risk management program is to minimize the impact of currency movements due to transactions in other than the respective subsidiaries’ functional currency and to minimize the impact of currency movements on the Company’s net investment denominated in a currency other than the U.S. dollar. To achieve this objective, the Company hedges a portion of known exposures using forward foreign exchange currency contracts.

Main foreign currency exposures are related to transactions denominated in the British Pound, Euro, Canadian dollar, Australian dollar, Mexican Peso, Chinese Yuan, Malaysian Ringgit and Singapore dollar. Generally, these risk management transactions will involve the use of foreign currency derivatives to minimize the impact of currency movements on non-functional currency transactions.

The U.S. dollar equivalent notional amounts of outstanding forward exchange contracts were as follows:

Cash Flow Hedges

The Company has designated a portion of its forward foreign exchange contracts as cash flow hedges and recorded these contracts at fair value on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. For these instruments, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative is reported as a component of other comprehensive income (“OCI”) and reclassified into income in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects income. As of January 31, 2026 and July 31, 2025, unrealized gains of $1,138 and unrealized losses of $493 have been included in OCI, respectively.

Net Investment Hedges

The Company has designated certain third party foreign currency denominated debt borrowed under its credit agreement as net investment hedges. These debt obligations, denominated in Euros and British Pounds, were designated as net investment hedges to hedge portions of the Company’s net investment in its European operations. The Company’s foreign currency denominated debt obligations are valued under a market approach using publicized spot prices, and the net gains or losses attributable to the changes in spot prices are recorded as cumulative translation within AOCI and are included in the foreign currency translation adjustments section of the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. As of January 31, 2026 and July 31, 2025, the cumulative balances recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income were losses of $4,394 and $2,753, respectively, on any outstanding foreign currency denominated debt obligations.

The following table summarizes the amount of pre-tax gains and losses related to derivatives designated as hedging instruments:

Fair values of derivative instruments in the condensed consolidated balance sheets were as follows:

NOTE L —Income Taxes

NOTE M —Contingencies

In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to a variety of investigations, claims, suits, and other legal proceedings, including but not limited to, intellectual property, employment, unclaimed property, tort, and breach of contract matters. Any legal proceedings are subject to inherent uncertainties, and these matters and their potential effects may change in the future. The Company records a liability for contingencies when a loss is deemed to be probable and the loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company currently believes that the outcomes of such proceedings will not have a material adverse impact on its business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE N —Acquisitions

The purchase price includes a cash payment of $17,416 and a holdback liability of $1,750. Based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Mecco specializes in industrial product marking and identification systems designed for a variety of applications and industries. The acquisition of Mecco complements the Company’s existing offering of direct part marking solutions and advances the Company’s strategy to provide customers with a variety of end-to-end direct part marking and specialty identification products. The acquisition was funded through cash on hand. The Company recorded its preliminary purchase price allocation based on its estimates of the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities as of the acquisition date. The preliminary purchase price allocation included goodwill of $3,412, intangible assets of $14,040, and net tangible assets of $1,714. The goodwill for this acquisition is assigned to the Americas & Asia segment and is deductible for tax purposes.
