You will then hear an automated message advising your hand is raised. To withdraw your question, press star 11 again. Please be advised that today's conference is being recorded. I would now like to hand the conference over to your speaker, Mr. Alan Edrick, Chief Financial Officer. Please go ahead.

Good afternoon, and thank you for joining us. I'm Alan Edrick, Executive Vice President and CFO of OSI Systems, and I'm here today with A.J. Mara, OSI's President and CEO. Welcome to the OSI Systems Fiscal 2026 Second Quarter Conference Call. We are pleased that you can join us as we review our financial and our operational results. Earlier today, we issued a press release announcing our fiscal 26 second quarter financial results. Before we discuss these results, I would like to remind everyone that today's discussion will include forward-looking statements and the company wishes to take advantage of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 with respect to such forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements made on this call are based on currently available information and the company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement based upon subsequent events or new information or otherwise. During today's call, we will be discussing the company's results using both GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures. more details on these non-GAAP measures, their comparable GAAP measures, and a quantitative reconciliation of the two, please refer to today's earnings press release. I will begin with a high level summary of our financial performance for the second quarter of fiscal 26, and then turn the call over to AJ for a discussion of our business and operational performance. We will then finish with more detail regarding our financial results and a discussion of the increased non-GAAP EPS guidance for fiscal year 26. We delivered strong second quarter financial results, setting Q2 records across multiple metrics, and we are excited about the momentum across our biggest divisions. The company's revenues increased 11% year-over-year to a Q2 record of $464 million. Our two largest divisions achieved double-digit top-line growth, with security up 15% and Opto up 12%. This top-line performance is particularly impressive given that last year's Q2 included substantial revenue from large security programs in Mexico. The solid revenue growth led to record Q2 non-GAAP adjusted DPS of $2.58. These results included a step-up in R&D, reflecting our commitment to innovation. Additionally, cash flow was solid as we generated $62 million in operating cash flow. And while this number is notable, we believe calendar 26 cash flow may be even stronger. Before diving more deeply into our financial results and discussing our outlook for fiscal 26, I will turn the call over to AJ.

Thank you, Alan, and thank you, everyone, for joining us today. I'm excited to discuss our business and share our Q2 fiscal 26 results with you in more detail we had another record-breaking quarter in Q2 with revenues of 464 million representing 11% year-over-year growth and strong earnings reflecting our continued momentum our security division performed well, and our Opto Electronics and Manufacturing Division delivered another solid quarter. Overall, we continue to see nice demand across many of our markets and our backlog remains healthy, providing confidence for a strong second half of fiscal 26 and visibility going beyond that. Let's discuss each division's performance starting with security. In our security division, we delivered overall double-digit revenue growth driven by increases in both product and service revenues. As we continually innovate to drive market leadership, we also continue to introduce new innovative product features. Security bookings were lower than expected during the quarter, primarily due to delays in receiving anticipated orders, in part due to the U.S. government shutdown and some push out from international customers. These high probability opportunities are still in the pipeline. During the quarter, we announced a $20 million award to deliver a comprehensive radiological threat detection solution to an international customer. This project involves deploying a wide area radiation monitoring network that operates continuously to detect and track radioactive threats. Also, while the formal announcement came after the quarter, we were informed in Q2 that we were selected to support security screening at a major global sporting event in Europe this winter. These wins further reinforce OSI's position as a trusted global provider of critical security infrastructure supporting national security and high-profile mission-critical environments worldwide. Switching to RF, we announced shortly after the end of the quarter an international order valued at approximately 30 million dollars to deploy advanced RF-based communication and surveillance systems for naval operations. We are also gaining traction on Golden Dome, the U.S. initiative to create an integrated missile defense system. To that end, RRF Business was selected to participate on a massive U.S. Missile Defense Agency contract known as SHIELD. This is a multiple award, indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity contract to support the development of Golden Dome. The contract has a ceiling value of $151 billion over a 10-year period, making it one of the largest IDIQ contracts ever issued by the U.S. Department of Defense. We were one-off 2,400 awardees and believed delivery orders from the SHIELD IDIQ could be received in the foreseeable future. As a result of the Golden Dome potential and other growth opportunities for RF solutions, including the recent International Naval Order, we're enhancing our RF operational footprint. We are expanding into new facilities in Texas, which significantly increases production capacity, improves operational efficiency, and further demonstrates our commitment to our customers and long-term innovation in this space. Our overall security pipeline includes a wide range of opportunities both internationally and domestically and we are well positioned with a broad range of security offerings moving on to optoelectronics this division delivered another impressive quarter with double digit top-line growth achieving a second quarter record for revenues and adjusted operating income this performance was driven by broad demand across our diversified product and customer base. We are seeing growth across industries ranging from medical diagnostics to semiconductors driven by the breadth of our offerings. Opto also had a strong book-to-bull ratio this quarter. This division continues to see an expanding opportunity pipeline as OEMs are active in diversifying away from China and and de-risking their supply chains by shifting to other low-cost manufacturing regions. By expanding our production capacity with our newest manufacturing facility in Mexico and leveraging our operations across Southeast Asia, India, and North America, we are poised to meet rising global demand and continue benefiting from this trend. Given strong bookings and consistent performance, we believe Opto is well-positioned to build upon this momentum. And finally, let's discuss the healthcare division. While Q2 was a challenging quarter for our healthcare division, we remain focused on long-term value creation. We have intensified our sales efforts and are focusing our pipeline of new products by continuing to invest in next generation product development. While it will take time to regain our footing, we are confident that these actions, along with a broader market recovery, will improve healthcare's performance in the coming quarters. Overall, we are pleased with OSI's Q2 and first half results. We grew revenues and profits significantly and continue to drive efficiencies in our business. I will now return the call to Alan to discuss our financial performance further before we open the call for questions. Thank you.

Thank you, AJ. Now I will review in greater detail the financial results for Q2 and then discuss our increased Fiscal 26 non-GAAP EPS guidance. As mentioned, our Q2 revenues were up 11% compared to the second quarter of the prior fiscal year, with strength across our two largest segments. Security division revenues in Q2 were $335 million and increased to 15% year over year. This growth was driven by significantly higher service revenues, increased revenues from the RF business, which continues to be effectively integrated into our overall operations, and increased aviation product revenues. As expected, and directionally similar to last quarter's trend, revenues related to our large Mexico security contracts decreased 50% to $27 million in Q2 fiscal 26 from $54 million in Q2 of the prior year. Excluding the Mexico contracts, securities revenue surged 31% year-over-year, reflecting healthy demand across the broader security portfolio. Meanwhile, our Opto Electronics and Manufacturing division had another excellent quarter. Opto sales, including intercompany, increased 12% year-over-year to $113 million, which is a new Q2 record for this division. This was driven by growth across our diversified product and customer portfolios. And as they just suggested, healthcare division sales were soft. Our Q2 fiscal 26 gross margin was 33%, down from the same quarter in the prior year as a less favorable revenue mix on product sales outweighed an increase in gross margin from higher service revenues. Our margins can fluctuate based on product and service mix and volume, supply chain costs, FX, tariffs, among other factors. Moving on to operating expenses. SG&A expenses in the 26th second fiscal quarter were $70.2 million, down 1% from the prior year Q2, and representing 15.1% of sales compared to 16.8% of sales in Q2 of last fiscal year. We continue to work diligently across all of our divisions to manage our SG&A cost structure efficiently. R&D expenses in Q2 were $19.8 million, or 4.3% of revenues, up from $18.3 million in the same quarter last year. This increase stems from our commitment to investing in innovation, resulting in market-leading offerings, particularly in security, and positioning OSI well for the future. We expect to continue our heightened R&D efforts to advance key initiatives through the remainder of the fiscal year. Even with these investments, our combined SG&A and R&D expenses, as a percentage of sales, have decreased annually for each of the past eight years, and this trend is anticipated to continue for fiscal 26, underscoring our ability to drive operating efficiencies while still funding growth initiatives. Now, moving below the operating line, net interest and other expense in Q2 was $10.7 million, up from $8.6 million in the same quarter of the prior year, while net interest expense decreased from $8.6 million to $6.4 million on reduced borrowing cost, this was offset by a $4.4 million non-recurring cost for a retirement plan amendment of the former CEO. Our effective tax rate under GAAP was 19.5% in Q2 of Fiscal 26 versus 23.3% in Q2 last year. However, excluding discrete tax items, our normalized effective tax rate, which is the rate used in calculating non-GAAP EPS, was approximately 23.3% this quarter compared to 24.0% in the same prior year quarter. On a non-GAAP basis, our Q2 FY26 adjusted operating margin of 14% was up sequentially from Q1, but down from the prior year second quarter, as expected, due to the tough comp. The security division's adjusted operating margin was 17.8% in Q2 of fiscal 26, compared to 19.9% in the same prior year period. Strong growth in higher margin security service revenues was offset by a less favorable mix of product sales and the growth in R&D. The opto-adjusted operating margin increased 100 basis points to 12.9% from 12.8% in last year's fiscal Q2. We continue to anticipate efficiencies in our newest manufacturing facility in Opto to contribute to expanding margins in the second half of the fiscal year. Lastly, the adjusted operating margin of our health care division was rather negligible given the sales level. Moving to cash flow and the balance sheet. Our operating cash flow improved in fiscal Q2 on a year-over-year basis. DSO in Q2 decreased 17% from Q1 and is expected to further decrease by the end of the fiscal year. We continue to receive payments from a significant Security Division customer in Mexico during the quarter, marking progress, albeit at a slower pace. We expect substantial cash inflows in the second half of Fiscal 26 and beyond as we continue to collect on the Mexico receivables, which should lead to sizable operating cash flow and strong free cash flow conversion. CapEx in Q2 of this year was $7 million, while depreciation and amortization expense in the quarter was $9.6 million. Our balance sheet remains solid. Our net leverage at the end of Q2 fiscal 26 was approximately $2.2, as calculated under our credit agreement. We completed a highly successful convertible notes transaction in November in which we raised $575 million at a coupon of 0.5%. This transaction increased our liquidity and financial flexibility for future growth initiatives while simultaneously reducing interest expense through the paydown of our revolver. In connection with the transaction, we bought back approximately 547,000 shares at an average price of $267 per share under our stock buyback program. Now turning to our updated guidance. We are raising our fiscal 26 guidance for non-GAAP EPS while maintaining our revenue guidance. We now anticipate non-GAAP earnings per diluted share to be within a range of $10.30 to $10.55, which would represent 10 to 13 percent year-over-year growth. This updated outlook factors in a challenging comp from a significant reduction of revenues from our Mexico contracts in Fiscal 26 in our security division. This should be more prevalent in Q3 than Q2, with an expected Q3 revenue headwind of over $50 million to year-over-year revenue growth, which is expected to be the highest quarterly variance of Fiscal 26. Based upon the expected timing of the backlog conversion, Mexico and other factors, we anticipate the growth in our Fiscal 26 Q4 to be significantly stronger than the growth in Q3. We note that this Fiscal 26 non-GAAP diluted EPS guidance excludes any impact of potential impairment, restructuring and other charges, amortization of acquired intangible assets and their associated tax effects, and discrete tax and other non-recurring items. We currently believe this guidance reflects reasonable estimates. The actual impact on the company's financial results of timing changes on the expected conversion of backlog to revenues, new bookings, timing of cash collections, tariffs, and potential future government shutdowns, among other factors, is difficult to predict and could vary significantly from the anticipated impact currently reflected in our guidance. Actual revenue and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share could also vary from the guidance indicated above due to other risks and uncertainties discussed in our SEC filings. In summary, we are committed to operational excellence as we continue to grow our businesses and provide innovative products and solutions to our customers. We are pleased with our performance in the first half of Fiscal 26, and we expect a solid second half as we continue to generate significant cash flow and utilize our financial strength to invest in key strategic areas with the goal of driving long-term value for our shareholders. Once again, we thank the entire global OSI team for their dedication to supporting our customers and partners. Their efforts are what make our results possible. And at this time, we would like to open the call to questions.

Thank you. As a reminder, to ask a question, please press star 11 on your telephone and wait for your name to be announced. To withdraw your question, press star 11 again. One moment while we compile the Q&A roster. We do have our first question from Mr. Jeff Martin. Please go ahead.

Thanks. Good afternoon, guys. I wanted to dive into the orders activity and security comment. Softer than expected. The overall backlog was essentially unchanged at $1.8 billion. So is it better to phrase it as the orders were not as strong as you expected rather than soft?

I think this is A.J. The best way to describe it, I think we said it that, you know, we expected strong orders and some of them got pushed to the right because of the government shutdown and a little bit, you know, some internationally. But all those are very much alive in our pipeline, and we expect a strong, you know, next six months.

And I was curious if you could expand on the IDIQ contract with Golden Dome. It sounds like you're expecting something could, you know, materialize in the relatively near future. Is this something you could theoretically see orders start to come in in fiscal 26?

You know, a lot of this, you know, is dependent. And, obviously, the funding came in for the big, you know, beautiful bill, and there's a substantial amount of funding in there. Like I said, it's the largest, you know, contract, one of the largest contracts out there at $151 billion, but there are 2,400 people there. But we feel that we're in a good position with the products that we provide, especially our over-the-horizon radar. and you know we are we are talking to customers you know we're actively pursuing opportunities really can give you a feel for you know when this will happen you know obviously timing dealing with the government sometimes takes longer but you know we feel good about the foreseeable future that you know we'll get some orders and like I said we have also expanded our facilities in in Dallas Texas and we feel you know we feel positive and Alan how should we

think about interest expense on the quarterly basis going forward from here

yeah Jeff good question with the paydown of our revolve our revolver mid Q2 we would anticipate that the level of interest expense will decrease from Q2 to Q3 a little bit we got some of the benefit about a half a quarter benefit Q2. And then Q3 and Q4 should be relatively comparable to one another.

Okay. And then you're going to have quite a bit of excess cash on the balance sheet, particularly with strong anticipated free cash flow over the next 12 months, call it. What's the potential for additional share report purchases from here?

Well, Jeff, you're right. We have a strong balance sheet. We have nice cash on the balance sheet as of 1231. And with the strong expected free cash flow over the period of time you mentioned, that should only increase. Our capital allocation has always consisted of kind of three things, M&A, stock buyback, and any paydown of Revolver, which we've already done at this point in time. And they're not mutually exclusive necessarily. So stock buyback is certainly an option for us. We did a sizable buyback in Q2 of about 546,000 shares, but the opportunity to buy back further shares is certainly available to us.

Thank you.

And one moment for our next question. And that will come from the line of Josh Nichols with B. Riley Securities. Your line is open.

Yeah, thanks for taking my question. Great to see the strong cash flow during the quarter. I just want to dive in a little bit. Obviously, we have the government shutdown that impacted things a little bit, but can you provide a little bit more detail about what you're seeing in terms of the big, beautiful bill and RFP timing? Are you seeing some RFPs already in calendar 26, or do you expect the award activity to maybe pick up in calendar 2Q or 3Q, or has some of those procurement timelines shifted

so you know I think that the shutdown definitely move stuff to the right we are starting to see some money flow in you know we expect some money will flow in in you know the first six months of this year but I would say most of it will be towards the latter part of calendar 26 and beyond so it's really been more of an effect of timing than anything else that makes sense um and then alan um i know

you mentioned look the receivables uh on the dso have been improving you said mexico was was part of that like can you just elaborate a little bit more maybe on where we stand in terms of mexico dso what is that going to continue to be a significant uh free cash flow driver in the fiscal second half relative to where the rest of the business is yeah Josh good

question and you're absolutely right though we collected some nice payments from Mexico in Q2 it still represents by far our largest receivable at the overall company and we would expect based upon on the due dates and and when we think cash is coming in that really over the course of the balance of fiscal year fiscal 26 and really part of fiscal 27 to kind of have some potential outsized free cash flow conversion as the Mexico receivable normalizes, which will drive down our DSO quite significantly, resulting in this very strong cash flow.

Thanks. And then last question for me, I know the comps aspect with Mexico for the margins have been a little bit challenging, but they are easing, I think, by the time you get to the end of this fiscal year. You're probably in a pretty good position, particularly with the service revenue trajectory that we've seen. Any more detail you can provide about the guidance outlook in terms of the margin and the growth potential for the service revenue relative to the hardware from where we're standing today? Yeah, Josh, this is

Alan. Good question again. Absolutely. We're highly encouraged about where we're heading on margins. Our service revenues growth has been outstanding. Of course, we started seeing real strong service revenue growth in the third quarter of last fiscal year, so we'll start coming on to a little bit more difficult comps on the service revenue growth, but we still expect it to be growing at a much faster rate than that of products in most cases, and the service revenues carry a higher margin than our product revenues. So as a result, we see some real nice room for operating margin expansion. We see that more tilted to Q4 for the reasons I outlined during sort of the prepared remarks. But yes, we see some good opportunity for operating margin expansion

in Q4 and beyond. Appreciate it. I'll hop back in the queue. Thanks. Thank you. One moment for our

next question. And that will come from the line of Christopher Glenn with Oppenheimer. Your line

is open thank you uh good afternoon guys um alan just uh was hoping you could revisit that kind of tilt to 4q that you just referenced that line in the prepared remarks i i missed a little bit of it and then just in terms of a finer point the midpoint of your guidance basically gives us exactly a billion revenue in the back half. Should we think about that as like 45, 55 percent across the remaining two quarters, or is that a little extreme?

Good question, Chris. Really kind of what's driving a much stronger Q4 than Q3 are a couple of things. One, of course, is the U.S. government shutdown, which pushed a few things a little bit to the right. But the much bigger impact is Mexico. I had mentioned that the Mexico revenue variance between last year and this year of the four quarters is most prevalent in Q3 itself. So there's a big headwind, if you will, on the Q3 revenues related to Mexico. That then begins to subside substantially in Q4 and, of course, as we move into the next fiscal year. So, yes, I would anticipate when you're looking at the splits, the revenues being significantly higher in Q4 than Q3, and therefore the same would hold true to the bottom line.

Okay, great. And then on the expected strong second-half bookings, is that essentially a CBP factor that we're talking about there?

Well, you know, this is AJ. Obviously, CBP is one of them. You know, we get a lot of orders from the rest of the government, and like I said, you know, we're pursuing a lot of international orders as well. So it's a combination of a few customers.

And then, you know, I know you don't announce everything, but aviation orders, I think, if we've tracked them correctly, have been a little bit quiet. So, you know, just wondering if you could comment on the pipeline for the aviation market. And, you know, might there be some announcements in the second half in that vertical?

Well, you know, the aviation market remains strong for us. The pipeline remains strong. And, you know, just bear in mind with aviation, you know, sometimes it takes a little longer. The airport sometimes is not ready because of construction, et cetera. But we feel good about the pipeline right now.

And maybe to add on to that, Chris, this is Alan. The aviation business has been very good for us. The aviation orders, we tend to get a large volume of aviation orders, but sometimes they're of a lesser amount, not necessarily to the rise to the level of a press release, if you will, but the overall business has been quite a plus.

Okay, thanks. And sorry if I could fit in a bookkeeping one. And someone already asked about the interest expense bridge from the refi there and the converts. Could you level set the shares, how to think about those, or even give us a plug for the third quarter? I know option exercise is probably up a little bit with the really strong stock performance.

Yeah, so from the diluted shares perspective, with the stock buyback, it came down a bit in Q2. We'll probably see a little bit more impact of that in Q3 and then stabilize. Of course, with a rising stock price, that will have a little bit opposite effect, countering that a little bit on diluted shares. But overall, we would anticipate the diluted share count will be reducing a little bit in Q3, and Q4 should be pretty comparable to Q3. Okay. Thank you.

Thank you. One moment for our next question. And that will come from the line of Mariana Perez-Mora with Bank of America. Your line is open.

Thank you so much. Good afternoon, everyone.

Hello.

So I wanted to touch base on the radio frequency business, and you mentioned opportunities for Golden Dome and investments being made to expand to new facilities in Texas. Like, could you mind giving us some color around, like, how large is that business today and how should we think about when we look at that business like three to five years from now?

Well, you know, great question. I think, you know, the best way for us to answer that is, you know, you've heard in the news what, you know, what they're looking to do in the Golden Dome. We have a portion of it. So we think we have a good opportunity over the next, you know, two, three, four years to really get some very good solid growth, you know as this program continues so you know I can't really get into specifics maybe six months down the road three months down the road whatever as we get more color on what they're doing you know we'll be able to answer that question but right now we feel very good about the growth respect the growth prospects in that business and and that's one of the reasons we decided to to expand and move into a brand new facility that gives us the opportunity to be able to meet that demand and really showcase to the customer all the innovative technologies that we have.

Thank you. And then I wanted to tap or like dig a little bit deeper as well on CBP opportunities. There has been like all this government accountability office reports about like how CBP is logging in their effort to have large non-intrusive inspection systems put in the land boards. And they have been progressing just like, I don't know, 40% over the last 10 years on a goal that was due next year. And they say that there is a problem with the civil works and that's why they have a lot of systems in inventory. How that affects orders for you guys, how that affects your market share as you take care of both the systems and the civil works how should it should we think about like opportunity from those efforts in the next couple of years

so you know you know great question i mean you know keep in mind if you've been down to the border how uh how complicated the border crossings can be and you know civil works is not an easy easy thing um you know you need to go through as far as the government is concerned a lot of of different agencies and, you know, through GSA and others. You know, having said that, you know, we have been, I think, the most efficient supplier to the CBP in terms of equipment. We continue to see, you know, some of that, you know, equipment orders that we think are going to come in, not just for border crossings but for ports, for other areas such as, you know, airports. and so we think it's going to continue you know what you know and is it going to speed up the best way to put it is as you put new systems in on both sides not just from us but from the government you'll learn so things get things get more efficient and that's what we're hoping as we move forward

thank you and last one from me is sports events so you mentioned a European one and an award on that end but did you mind remind this reminding us how is the pipeline of opportunities for the FIFA World Cup this summer, and then how should we think about the Olympics as well?

So, you know, we definitely are, you know, premier player over there, and we feel very good about the announcement we made. We feel very good about the upcoming major events in the U.S. and internationally, and And, you know, as you know, we won the, you know, we did another major event a year and a half ago in the summer in Europe. So we feel very good. And I think that, you know, we are uniquely qualified to do it because we've done it so many times, number one. And number two, we have a breadth of technology that, you know, is really unmatched with other people.

Thank you so much. One moment for our next question. And that will come from the line of Seth Seifman with J.P. Morgan. Your line is open.

Good afternoon. This is rock-a-womp for Seth. There's been a lot of conversation of increasing international demand for the security products. Are there any specific kind of regions or countries that are leading the pack on either urgency or size of the opportunity?

Well, you know, U.S. obviously is one. We see a lot internationally and, frankly, in the Middle East, and, you know, we're seeing a lot of countries starting to pay more attention, especially with some of the trade issues that are going on to see can they, you know, scan more to be able to, you know, potentially, if they want, share information with the U.S. so the trade becomes a little easier. um so um it's really you know it's it's really across the board but it varies depending on depending on you know year by year one country might do it then another country will do it but it's all you know it's still in you know the second third inning it's not it's not in the you

know it's not a mature market yet great that makes sense and then funding around dhs and cbp has become a bit more contentious after the events of last weekend ahead of the cr expiration on Saturday. Does the near-term funding have a notable impact in either the revenue or cash

outlook heading into the back half of the year? No. I think the issues there are, I'm not going to get into it, but it's really not about border security. It's about other things related to ICE

and other issues. Great. Thank you, guys. Thank you. As a reminder, if you would like to ask a question, please press star 1-1. One moment for our next question, and that will come from Larry Solo with CJS Securities. Your line is open. All right. Thanks very much. Good afternoon.

Just a couple of follow-ups. So, the bookings and security, was that essentially close to flat, about one? Is that about right? I know it feels like it. Did you actually give a number there?

Oh, Larry, this is Alan. It was a bit below 1.0 this quarter.

Okay. And I'm just curious, and you kind of, I think, answered my question in your remarks, but does the somewhat less than expected orders and sounds like timing related, does that actually impact your sales in the back half? I guess a little bit, because you had a strong quarter, but you didn't raise guidance. And you kind of mentioned a little slower Q3, Q4, year over year because of Mexico, but also what you already knew about. But maybe a little bit, because maybe some of these bookings would have trickled through that fast. Or I'm just kind of curious if there's any slower, you know, you left your guidance the same on a revenue basis, but would you have increased it at all if bookings matched your expectations?

Yeah, Larry, this is Alan. We might have. You know, we just thought it was prudent to maintain our revenue range at this time, given the items that you just mentioned with some things moving a little bit to the right and any, you know, potential shutdowns and the like. But, yeah, overall, we feel very strong about our business.

and just the margin i know mix you know there's a lot of moving parts there but i guess you know is it fair to say that mexico and obviously is a driver of that is that you know the substantial driver mexico is just better or higher margin revenue or um i know last year q2 you had a substantially good quarter so i'm not necessarily looking year over year but just curious with a nice revenue jump service revenue up really nice um and you're still below low full-year margins from last year versus this quarter so curious is it you know is it really just mexico are there a lot of factors any way you could kind of help you know with that

well larry it's alan yeah there are multiple factors but but mexico plays a role in it you know of course given the size of that contract and when we were manufacturing the same product over and over and over again there's inherent operational efficiencies which drive the margin up quite nicely, which is fantastic, and we recognize coming into the year that we'd be facing that sort of margin headwind, and despite that, you know, the company's been growing quite nicely. That big impact of Mexico year-over-year comparison subsides after the third quarter, so really after the March quarter, so as we move forward in Q4 and beyond, I think that's really where you see the real opportunity for margin expansion for the business again, so only two

months away from that that's fair and on the golden dome age i know you can't really give much specifics and maybe there's some things you just don't know um but it feels like i mean is this something that could be a you know over a three to five year period several hundred million dollar potential opportunity view obviously the 151 billion uh divided by 2400 would be greater than that but so i'm sure we can't do that math but you know any color their magnitude you know potential size without, you know, you actually, you know, without putting words in your mouth?

Yeah, I mean, I think that, you know, we feel it's a substantial opportunity that's going to be meaningful overall to the company. You know, what that number is going to be, I mean, it's substantial. I don't want to get into, you know, specifics, but, you know, you may not be that far off, but at the end of the day, we'll give more color on that as we get closer on what those opportunities are.

Gotcha. And just switching gears real fast, if I may, just on OptoAzol, I think it was up like 9% externally. You said the book to go is greater than one. Is it the same drivers still onshore and companies getting out of Mexico, China, excuse you know that the drivers you know any color that would be great yeah Larry

it's Alan the drivers remain similar to what you just mentioned you know just a good diverse customer base strong demand from from business within our existing customers a new business within our existing customers as well as gaining traction with some new customers who are trying to move out of different parts of the world and into the manufacturing locations that we have so you know we're We're really pleased with seeing, you know, overall 12 percent revenue growth in each of Q1 and Q2, which included the 9 percent external that you mentioned in this past quarter. And we see strong demand, you know, continuing in this business as we move forward the next couple of quarters, the balance of the fiscal year.

Great. And just cash flow, obviously a nice quarter. And it sounds like you have, you know, expectations for either nicer quarters in the back half. Do you think on a full year basis it could come close or even exceed net income?

Larry, I think that's entirely possible. You know, in the event that the DSOs come down to the place that we believe it could, that could very well be the case. And, yeah, we think there's every opportunity for that to occur.

Right. Thank you very much. I appreciate it.
