Executive summary

  • Achieved record sales from new products and launched thousands of new SKUs, especially in complex electronics, supporting long-term growth initiatives.

  • Delivered on strategic priorities in innovation, operational excellence, supply chain optimization, and channel expansion, driving growth across diverse end markets.

  • Net sales for 2025 reached $2.13 billion, up 6% year-over-year, with strong light-duty demand and effective tariff-related pricing.

Financial highlights

  • Q4 2025 net sales were $538 million, up 0.8% year-over-year, but below internal expectations due to a major customer’s order pattern shift.

  • Adjusted gross margin for Q4 was 42.6%, up 90 basis points year-over-year, driven by pre-tariff inventory and productivity gains.

  • Full-year adjusted diluted EPS was $8.87, up 24% year-over-year; operating income rose 17% and operating margin expanded 170 basis points to 17.8%.

Outlook and guidance

  • 2026 net sales growth expected at 7%-9% across all segments, driven by volume improvement and full-year pricing impact.

  • Operating margin expected at 15%-16% for 2026, with normalization to high teens by year-end as tariff impacts subside.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
