Current wording
The Corporate & Other operating expense was $49.0 million and $52.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The lower operating expense was primarily due to Portfolio Optimization Plan costs totaling $9.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2025, partially offset by higher performance-based executive compensation costs incurred in 2026. See the Portfolio Optimization Plan section above for further information.
Previous wording
The Company continues to monitor developments with respect to tariffs and other trade policy matters closely, including impacts from the U.S. Supreme Court decision that struck down tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”) and other litigation, as well as the implementation of additional tariffs. As of June 30, 2026, we have received approximately $5 million of IEEPA tariff refunds, which included applicable interest. We do not anticipate receiving any further tariff refunds in the future. The tariffs imposed by the United States, and retaliatory tariffs imposed by other countries on United States exports, have led to significant volatility and uncertainty in global markets. As a result of these ongoing tariff-related actions, the Company anticipates incurring incremental tariff costs on certain raw materials to produce our products and certain finished goods shipped to customers. However, the Company expects to manage the impact of the increased tariff costs through pricing actions. To the extent the Company is unable to offset the increased tariff costs, or the tariffs negatively impact demand, or other trade barriers are implemented, the Company’s revenue and profitability would be adversely impacted. If additional tariffs are adopted, the Company would incur additional tariff costs that could be material.

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was enacted in the United States. The OBBBA includes a broad range of tax reform provisions, such as the extension of certain expiring provisions, modifications to the international tax framework, and the continuation of favorable tax treatment for certain business provisions. The legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions implemented through 2027. These provisions did not have a material impact on our effective tax rate for the three or six months ended June 30, 2026. We will continue to assess the OBBBA tax provisions and their impacts on our consolidated financial statements.
