Flat revenue now funds a margin-led recovery as cost structure and cash generation reshape the business.
The 2026 earnings rebound was not volume-led: revenue was essentially unchanged from FY2025, while operating margin rose from13.2% to16.5% as SG&A fell. That points to cost structure improvement rather than top-line acceleration. Net income more than doubled to$222M while the tax line provided a$7M benefit, so the bottom-line improvement was amplified by a non-operating item.
Operating cash flow exceeded net income at
Debt-to-equity fell to 0.8x from 1.0x, indicating improved long-term leverage even as revenue stayed flat. However, the 0.5x current ratio means current liabilities still exceed current assets, so stronger solvency does not translate into abundant short-term liquidity.
