Evidence signals

  • 3 filing risk checks flagged

    Flagged areas: Earnings quality, Solvency & liquidity.

    Why this surfaced

    The full financial analysis shows each value, threshold, and sector limitation.

  • 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.

  • Operating margin was stable

    Operating margin changed -0.7 percentage points from the prior annual period.

    Why this surfaced

    Direction threshold: more than +1 percentage point constructive; below -1 point caution. Period end 2025-12-31.

  • Free cash flow was positive

    Latest reported free cash flow was $310M.

    Why this surfaced

    Free cash flow = operating cash flow minus capital expenditures; positive is supporting evidence, not a valuation conclusion. 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. A change can be a restatement, a reclassification or a re-tagging in a later comparative column; the two filings are linked so the reader can see which. Descriptive, not a verdict.

The Securitization Subsidiary transfers variable undivided percentage interests in the receivables and related rights to certain third-party financial institutions in exchange for cash proceeds, limited to the applicable funding capacities. We account for the sale of the receivable interests as a secured borrowing on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. The receivables subject to the agreement collateralize the cash proceeds received from the third-party financial institutions. We classify the entire outstanding balance, which matures on October 30, 2026, as Long-term debt, net on our Consolidated Balance Sheets as we intend and have the ability to refinance the obligations on a long-term basis.

Fair value · 5,780 characters as filed

Note 4 Fair Value Measurements and Interest Rate Swaps Recurring Fair Value Measurements Our assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis include the unrealized gains or losses on our interest rate swap contracts and our deferred compensation plan asset and liability. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under the accounting guidance are described below: Level 1 Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. Level 2 Inputs to the valuation methodology include: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. Level 3 Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. The table below presents our assets and liabilities measured and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands): Fair Value at June 30, Input Level Classification 2026 2025 Assets Unrealized gains on interest rate swaps Level 2 Prepaid expenses and other current assets $ 6,272 $ Unrealized gains on interest rate swaps Level 2 Other assets 13,791 Deferred compensation plan asset Level 1 Other assets 20,423 18,832 Liabilities Deferred compensation plan li

Segment reporting · 2,155 characters as filed

Note 6 - Segment Information Since all of our sales centers have similar operations and share similar economic characteristics, we aggregate our sales centers into a single reportable segment and one reportable revenue stream. These similarities include (i) the nature of our products and services, (ii) the types of customers to whom we sell and (iii) the distribution methods we use. Our chief operating decision maker (CODM) is our president and chief executive officer. Our CODM evaluates each sales center based on individual performance that includes both financial and operational measures. These measures include operating income, accounts receivable and inventory management criteria. The accounting policies for our segment are the same as those described in Note 1 of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Part II, Item 8 in our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K and in Note 1 above. The table below presents segment revenue, operating expenses and operating income and reconciles segment operating income to consolidated income before taxes and equity in earnings (in thousands): Three Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30, June 30, 2026 2025 2026 2025 Net sales $ 1,822,938 $ 1,784,530 $ 2,960,952 $ 2,856,056 Cost of sales 1,282,176 1,249,369 2,090,319 2,008,526 Gross profit 540,762 535,161 870,633 847,530 Compensation expenses 141,245 135,815 265,791 256,184 Freight out expenses 28,190 28,650 46,479 45,772 Other selling and administrative expenses 103,648 98,0
