Current report
On February 20, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a decision invalidating certain tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act ("IEEPA"). Following the Supreme Court’s decision, the U.S. administration announced its intention to invoke other laws to collect tariffs and announced new tariffs on imports from all countries, in addition to any existing non-IEEPA tariffs. There remains significant uncertainty regarding the duration and levels of existing and newly announced tariffs, potential changes or pauses to such tariffs, and whether additional tariffs or retaliatory actions may be imposed, modified, or suspended.
Current report
During the third fiscal quarter of 2026, the Company received $2.3 million of IEEPA tariff refunds from the U.S. government. The tariff refunds received were recognized as a reduction of costs of products sold, while the amounts to be passed through to customers were recorded as a reduction of net revenues.

Current report
Net revenues in the Weighing Solutions reporting segment decreased 19.0% from the second fiscal quarter of 2026 and decreased 10.7% from the third fiscal quarter of 2025. Sequentially, the decrease in revenue was mainly attributable to lower sales in the Transportation, Industrial Weighing and General Industrial markets. The year-over-year decrease in revenue was mainly attributable to lower sales in the Industrial Weighing market.
Current report
Overall gross profit margin in the third fiscal quarter of 2026 increased 1.6% as compared to the second fiscal quarter of 2026 primarily due to higher sales volume in the Sensors and Measurement Systems segments and favorable product mix, which partially offset lower sales volume in the Weighing Solutions segment. Gross profit margin also benefited from tariff refunds, which reduced both net revenues and costs of products sold.
Current report
The Sensors segment revenue of $38.4 million in the third fiscal quarter of 2026 increased 21.3% from $31.6 million in the third fiscal quarter of 2025.

The results of operations for the fiscal quarters ended July 4, 2026 and June 28, 2025 include items affecting comparability as listed in the reconciliations below. The reconciliations below include certain financial measures which are not recognized in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), including adjusted gross profits, adjusted gross profit margin, adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted net earnings, adjusted net earnings per diluted share, EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA. These non-GAAP measures should not be viewed as an alternative to GAAP measures of performance.
