Key Highlights
Net Sales Grew 8.7% Net sales reached $8.20B USD in 2025, marking an 8.7% increase driven by unit sales and improved contract signings.
Operating Income Expansion Operating income grew 9.6% to $1.66B USD, leveraging SG&A expenses for a 20 basis point operating margin improvement.

Risk Factors
Gross Margin Mix Headwind Gross profit percentage slightly contracted to 45.0% due to sustained shift toward lower margin contract and Onsite customers.
Tariff and Cost Inflation Exposure remains high from incremental tariffs and cost inflation, though 2025 net income impact was immaterial due to pricing actions.
Talent Retention Challenges Inability to recruit and retain qualified personnel could materially affect sales and delay planned expansion of various selling channels.
Sluggish Manufacturing Environment Manufacturing end markets outperformed slightly, but the overall environment remained sluggish with PMI averaging below 50 for 10 months.
Outlook

Increased Capital Spending Forecast Net Capital Expenditures projected higher for 2026, targeting a range of $310.0M to $330.0M, reflecting delayed 2025 projects.
