Revenue climbed 5.8% to $950.3 million, outperforming analyst projections of $924.8 million. Adjusted earnings hit $1.41 per share, narrowly edging past the $1.40 consensus estimate. Chief Executive Celeste Mastin attributed the performance to the company’s ongoing Quantum Leap restructuring, which focuses on trimming costs and consolidating the global manufacturing footprint to ensure stability during market turbulence.

Looking ahead, the company tightened its fiscal year adjusted earnings guidance to a range of $4.60 to $4.90 per share, centering near current analyst expectations of $4.84. Management maintained its forecast for mid-single-digit net revenue growth through fiscal 2026, signaling confidence in the current operational trajectory despite lingering economic headwinds.
