Net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 increased by $367.9 million, or 23%, compared to the prior-year period, primarily due to higher sales volumes, inclusive of the effects of acquisitions, and pricing actions. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 increased by $50.3 million compared to the prior-year period, largely due to the $71.9 million increase in operating income, partially offset by a $12.5 million increase in income tax expense, an $8.9 million increase in interest expense, net, and a $0.2 million increase in other expense, net. Total orders for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 were $1.88 billion, an increase of $305 million, or 19%, compared to the prior-year period.
