Filing evidence summary

Mixed evidenceCoverage 5/5 core metrics

Operating margin changed -1.2 percentage points from the prior annual period.

Backward-looking filed evidence under visible rules - not a rating, forecast or investment advice. Missing data is never scored.

Evidence signals

  • Operating margin compressed

  • Revenue was broadly stable

    Latest reported annual revenue changed -0.4% from the prior reported annual observation.

    Why this surfaced

    Direction threshold: above +2% constructive; below -2% caution; otherwise monitor. This is not labeled one-year growth when filing periods have a gap. Period end 2025-12-31.

Each filer's latest fiscal year as stored by the nightly crawl; fiscal year ends differ across the universe. A metric ranks only filers for which it is computable from filed facts. Ties split; a rank reads "better than N% of filers" in the metric's own direction. Descriptive and educational, not a rating.

Per fiscal year from filed facts: cash conversion = operating cash flow / net income (net income > 0); cash-flow accrual ratio = (net income - operating cash flow) / average total assets; balance-sheet accrual ratio = change in net operating assets / average net operating assets, NOA = (assets - cash) - (liabilities - debt). Descriptive; a missing input yields a missing ratio. High accrual ratios and cash conversion well below one are the measures the accruals literature associates with less persistent earnings; they are screens to read the cash-flow statement with, not conclusions. The per-year series is part of Pro risk analysis.

First filing reporting each period vs the latest filing carrying it (10-K and 10-Q only, periods since 2020, the extractor's winning tag per concept); a change under 0.5% is treated as rounding.

The higher effective tax rates were primarily attributable to losses incurred in certain jurisdictions for which no tax benefit was recognized, the geographic mix of earnings among the jurisdictions in which the Company operates, and the impact of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Pillar Two Global Minimum Tax. These impacts were partially offset by tax incentives available in certain foreign jurisdictions. The Company's effective income tax rate was 94.1 % and 81.5 % for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 , respectively, and differed from the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate of 21 % primarily due to a discrete tax expense related to foreign withholding taxes on repatriated dividends and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities associated with unremitted earnings in China, as well as losses incurred in jurisdictions for which no tax benefit was recognized.

New accounting pronouncements · 2,316 characters as filed

In December 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2025-10, Accounting for Government Grants (ASU 2025-10), which adds guidance to Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 832. It requires business entities to recognize government grants when it is probable that conditions will be met and the grant will be received. It applies to for-profit entities, requiring recognition of income-related grants systematically over related costs and asset-related grants via deferred income or net reduction methods. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2028, and interim periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the guidance and its impact to the financial statements. In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software (ASU 2025-06), which removes references to project stages, and requires capitalization of software costs to begin when management has authorized and committed to funding the software project, and it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the intended function.

Restructuring · 2,272 characters as filed

Note 16 Restructuring Charges and Other Costs The Company has undertaken initiatives to restructure its business operations to improve utilization and realize cost savings. These initiatives have included changing the number and location of production facilities, largely to align capacity and infrastructure with current and anticipated customer demand. This alignment includes transferring programs from higher cost geographies to lower cost geographies. The Companys restructuring process entails moving production between facilities, reducing staff levels, realigning business processes, reorganizing management and other activities. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company recognized $ 4.9 million of restructuring charges, which primarily related to a planned closure of our site in Phoenix, Arizona and other smaller activities involving capacity reductions and reductions in workforce in certain facilities across various regions. Phoenix, Arizona operations ceased during the second quarter of 2026 and all related restructuring activity is expected to be substantially complete in 2026. Additionally, the Company recorded a $ 0.3 million net recovery related to the settlement of a tax assessment in the Americas. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recognized $ 3.3 million of restructuring charges, which primarily related to capacity and workforce reductions at its sites in the Americas. Additionally, the Company agreed to a $ 10.7 million settlement

Revenue recognition · 5,693 characters as filed

Note 10 Revenue The Companys revenues are generated primarily from its manufacturing services, which entails the sale of manufactured products built to customer specifications. The Company also generates revenue from design, development and engineering services, in addition to the sale of other inventory. Revenue is measured based on the consideration specified in a contract with a customer. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a manufactured product to a customer. The Companys contracts with customers are generally short-term in nature. Customers are generally billed when the product is shipped or as services are performed. Under the majority of the Companys manufacturing contracts with customers, the customer controls all of the work-in-progress as products are being built. Revenues under these contracts are recognized progressively based on the cost-to-cost method. For other manufacturing contracts, the customer does not take control of the product until it is completed. Under these contracts, the Company recognizes revenue upon transfer of control of the product to the customer, which is generally when goods are shipped. Revenue from design, development and engineering services is recognized over time as the services are performed. The Company assumes no significant obligations after shipment as it typically warrants workmanship only. Therefore, warranty provisions are generally not significant. If the Comp
