Current report
During the third quarter and first nine months of 2026, compared to the year-earlier periods, consolidated operating expenses increased primarily due to higher sales incentives and variable costs, in line with the increase in sales discussed above as well as changes in foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar. Additionally, Global ECS operating expenses increased due to higher employee-related costs and professional fees to expand the business related to multi-year non-cancellable purchase obligations. Corporate operating expenses increased primarily due to an increase in stock-based compensation expense, which was primarily attributable to equity-award forfeitures in 2025 that did not repeat in 2026.

Subsequent to the balance sheet date, the company incurred a $41.2 million charge to terminate a certain contract related to underperforming multi-year non-cancellable purchase obligations, that will be recorded in “Restructuring, integration, and other” within the company’s consolidated statements of operations in the fourth quarter of 2026.
