Previous wording
As part of our ongoing efforts to optimize operations in both of our Divisions, we have relocated applicable product families, sold the Gibson City, IL facility, repurposed one facility to support other brands, and completed initial setups for portions of the production lines. In the first quarter of 2026, we have also listed our facility in New Berlin, WI as an asset held for sale. As we continue our optimization efforts throughout the rest of the year, we expect temporary production inefficiencies, duplicate costs, and shipment-timing effects that may pressure revenue and gross margin, along with potentially one-time expenses related to relocation and facility exit. Following completion, we expect improved capacity utilization, service levels and structural cost reductions. The anticipated timing, costs and benefits are forward-looking and subject to the risks and uncertainties described under “Forward- Looking Information.”

Previous wording
The Company’s earnings are affected by fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar as compared to foreign currencies, predominately in Europe and Canada, as a result of the sales of its products in international markets. Forward currency contracts are used to hedge against the earnings effects of such fluctuations. The result of a uniform 10% strengthening or 10% decrease in the value of the dollar relative to the currencies in which the Company’s sales are denominated would result in a change in gross profit of $3.3 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2026. A stronger U.S. dollar would unfavorably impact gross profit while a weaker U.S. dollar would provide a favorable impact to gross profit. This calculation assumes that each exchange rate would change in the same direction relative to the U.S. dollar. In addition to the direct effects of changes in exchange rates, which include a changed dollar value of the resulting sales, changes in exchange rates may also affect the volume of sales or the foreign currency sales price as competitors’ products become more or less attractive. The Company’s sensitivity analysis of the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates does not factor in a potential change in sales levels or local currency prices.

Previous wording
The Company’s long-term debt bears interest at variable rates. Accordingly, the Company’s net income is affected by changes in interest rates. Assuming the current level of borrowings at variable rates and a two percentage point change for the first quarter 2026 average interest rate under these borrowings, the Company’s interest expense would have changed by approximately $1.5 million. To protect the Company's long-term debt from fluctuations in interest rates, the Company may enter into interest rate swaps to mitigate exposure. However, this analysis assumes no such actions. Further this analysis does not consider the effects of the change in the level of overall economic activity that could exist in such an environment.
