Current report
•The increase in Net sales for specialty products in the current quarter was due primarily to Disdero. Other than Disdero, overall increases in pricing were offset by overall decreases in volume.
Current report
•Specialty products’ gross margin increased by 210 basis points to 18.7% in Q3 2026 compared to 16.6% in Q3 2025. This increase was primarily due to Disdero and margin expansions on several other key product types. The aforementioned AD/CV net benefit increased specialty products’ gross margin by 40 basis points in the current quarter, while the unusual inventory provision decreased gross margin by 50 basis points. The aforementioned cost related to the AD/CV duties lowered the gross margin for specialty products by 40 basis points for Q3 2025.
Current report
•Gross interest expense was $12.4 million and $12.5 million in Q3 2026 and Q3 2025, respectively.

Current report
Net cash used in operating activities for the YTD 2026 period was $1.4 million compared to net cash used of $2.1 million in the YTD 2025 period. Net income adjusted for non-cash operating items listed on the consolidated statements of cash flows was $54.1 million in the YTD 2026 period compared to $44.1 million in the YTD 2025 period, resulting in a net positive impact of $10.0 million to cash flows from operating activities for the current year-to-date period. However, this amount was partially offset by changes in operating assets and liabilities on the consolidated statements of cash flows that used an additional $9.3 million of net cash in the YTD 2026 period compared to the YTD 2025 period, resulting in an overall favorable change of $0.7 million in cash flows from operating activities for the YTD 2026 period compared to the YTD 2025 period.

•Specialty products’ gross margin increased by 150 basis points to 20.0% in Q2 2026 compared to 18.5% in Q2 2025. This increase was primarily due to Disdero and the aforementioned import duty-related item which increased the gross margin for specialty products by 130 basis points in Q2 2026.

The $14.6 million increase in cash from operating activities during the YTD 2026 period was primarily the result of higher net income and favorable net changes in operating assets and operating liabilities.

Previous wording
For fiscal 2026, we currently estimate that our annual effective income tax rate will be approximately 35%, excluding discrete items. This estimate reflects nondeductible items and includes certain franchise taxes that are classified as income taxes under the provisions of ASC 740, Income Taxes. We recognized an income tax provision of $4.8 million for Q2 2026, resulting in an effective income tax rate of 42.9% that reflects discrete items. For Q2 2025, we recognized income tax expense of $2.3 million, resulting in an effective income tax rate of 34.5% for the quarter. The effective income tax rates for both quarterly fiscal periods were impacted by the permanent addback to taxable income of certain nondeductible expenses, including meals and entertainment and certain employee compensation, as well as excess tax benefits or expenses realized from settlements of share-based compensation grants. The Company’s effective income tax rates will differ from the statutory rates by such items.
