Good morning ladies and gentlemen and welcome to the Vontier Third Quarter 2025 Earnings Call. This call is being recorded on Thursday, October 30, 2025, and a replay will be made available shortly after. I would now like to turn the conference over to Ryan Edelman, Vontier's Vice President of Investor Relations. Please go ahead.

Thanks Ryan and good morning everyone. Thank you for joining us on the call today. I'm pleased with the traction we are seeing from our Connected Mobility strategy which we outlined in greater detail at our Convenience Retail Showcase two weeks ago. We've realigned the organization to better execute our strategic vision. We're reinvigorating new product development and building significant competitive advantages. We're the clear leader in this space with some of the industry's most innovative integrated solutions. I'm encouraged by the progress we are making, which is reinforced in our customer conversations. I'll touch on a few takeaways from our event in a few minutes. Turning to the quarter, we delivered solid Q3 results in a dynamic environment. The quarter played out as expected, consistent with the preliminary numbers we shared at our investor event. Our sales, adjusted operating margin, and EPS landed at or near the high end of our guidance. Our teams remain disciplined on execution, advancing our 80/20 simplification efforts and tariff mitigation actions while delivering on the critical needs of our customers. Core sales were essentially flat for the quarter. Solid underlying performance at Mobility Tech and Environmental & Fueling was offset by ongoing macro-economic pressures at our Repair Solutions segment. Importantly, demand within the convenience retail end market remains constructive and contributed to the quarter's momentum, and we see the Repair segment stabilizing sequentially. Our car wash business returned to growth a quarter ahead of expectations as customers are adopting our cloud-based Patheon solution. This solution, which we featured at our investor event, helped us secure some key wins in the quarter and has a growing pipeline of opportunities in convenience retail. Our unified payment and remote asset management solutions are delivering real value for our customers, driving low double-digit growth across retail solutions. We have generated more than $275 million of adjusted free cash flow year-to-date, and we've deployed roughly $175 million of that to share buybacks so far this year. We also took a few targeted portfolio actions in the quarter, divesting two non-core assets and exiting a minority equity stake. Concrete examples of our 80/20 simplification work in action. Our decision to exit these businesses is a result of regional simplification efforts to sharpen our product and go-to-market focus, improving the overall growth and margin profile of Vontier. Given our solid execution year-to-date and the traction we're seeing in our end markets, we're raising the midpoint of our full-year guidance, and Anshooman will provide more details in a few minutes. I'm encouraged by the fact that core growth is now tracking above 2% for the year, particularly as we've absorbed the impact from two businesses that have reset over the last 12 to 24 months. We expect mid-single-digit adjusted operating profit growth and remain on track for roughly 10% adjusted EPS growth this year. This combination reinforces a solid value creation algorithm. Turning to Slide 4, as many of you are aware, we held a successful investor event at the annual National Association of Convenience Stores Trade Show two weeks ago and used that forum to highlight the comprehensive platform we've built for convenience retail. We're now a more focused, higher-performing business with a more synergistic portfolio and broader, more comprehensive solutions. Our connected mobility strategy differentiates us. We are delivering integrated site-wide solutions that combine hardware, software, connectivity, and services to help our customers navigate complexity. This lowers their operating costs and unlocks growth through improving consumer engagement. These end-to-end solutions expand our total addressable market and create recurring revenue opportunities. Our recently announced go-to-market strategy simplifies the sale and deployment of our differentiated solutions through key account managers, while streamlining processes, reducing friction, and speeding development with shorter sales cycles. Moving to Slide 5, our refreshed value creation framework rests on 3 pillars. Pillar 1 supports accelerating organic growth via connected mobility and innovation. Pillar 2 focuses on optimizing our core operations to drive improved and more consistent margin expansion through the Vontier Business System, and Pillar 3 guides how we deploy capital effectively, dynamically prioritizing the highest return options available as we look toward 2026. Each pillar will play a key role in delivering results. Assuming a similar macro backdrop extends through next year, we expect the convenience retail end market to be constructive. As we discussed at our investor event, we target above-market growth led by our convenience retail solutions, including accelerating growth in car wash. We have strong multi-year secular tailwinds extending into 2026 and beyond. Repair Solutions demand is likely to remain soft, though distributor inventories are lean and we are seeing sequential revenue stabilization. We expect better operating margin performance in 2026 driven by underlying productivity improvements, increased R&D efficiency, continued 80/20 simplification efforts, and more favorable mix as volumes at car wash and Repair Solutions normalize. On top of this, we expect modest margin accretion from the portfolio management actions we are taking on capital deployment. Our approach will be consistent with what you've seen from us, balancing organic investment with shareholder returns and balance sheet health. To summarize, our strategy is working. We delivered strong, disciplined execution in Q3, converted that into cash, refined the portfolio, and we're advancing our connected mobility strategy to capture incremental share gains. We will continue to manage near-term costs and tariff pressures while investing where we see the best returns and positioning the company for above-market growth in key end markets. I want to thank our teams for their focus and agility. Their dedication to continuous improvement through the Vontier business system gives us confidence to raise our outlook and to keep executing with discipline. With that, I'll turn the call over to Anshooman Aga to walk through the quarter's financial details.

Thanks Mark and good morning everyone. I'll start off with a summary of our consolidated results for the third quarter. On Slide 6, we delivered results at the higher end of our guidance, demonstrating the resilience of our portfolio and the effectiveness of our operational execution. Total sales of $753 million were largely flat with the prior year. Adjusted operating profit margin held steady, and adjusted EPS increased high single digits to $0.78. Adjusted free cash flow of $94 million came in at 82% conversion, including a modest net headwind related to the timing of cash tax payments made in the third quarter. On a year-to-date basis, we have generated over $275 million in adjusted free cash flow, approximately 12% of sales. Turning to our segment results, starting on Slide 7, Environmental & Fueling Solutions delivered core growth of approximately 2% in line with our guidance for low single-digit growth. Our sequential Q3 performance reflects an exceptionally strong Q2 driven by shipment timings tied to appliance maintenance outage and ERP go-live. Despite these timing impacts, North America dispenser sales increased mid single digits during the quarter. This was offset by softer performance at international markets related to timing of large tenders. These results, measured against the prior quarter timing dynamic and a strong prior year comparison of 9%, underscore the team's disciplined execution. Solid demand tied to new build activity from large national and regional players as well as healthy refresh and replacement activity continues to support growth in both above and below ground fueling equipment. Segment operating margin declined approximately 20 basis points ahead of our guidance for a 50 to 75 basis point decline, supported by ongoing simplification efforts. On Slide 8, Mobility Technologies core sales grew approximately 5% supported by high single-digit bookings. Core growth was led by continued strength at Retail Solutions, up low double digits in the quarter, and car wash returning to year-over-year growth, up low single digits. We are seeing strong global adoption of unified payment and point-of-sale technologies, which together were up high teens in the quarter. That's especially notable given these products grew nearly 50% in Q3 last year. And as Mark mentioned at the start, we're encouraged by core growth in car wash inflecting positive one quarter ahead of schedule. This was mostly the result of strong demand for Patheon software upgrades, which experienced mid-teens growth in the quarter. Mobility Tech's margins increased over 40 basis points versus the prior year, reflecting the benefits of simplification efforts and improved R&D efficiency, partially offset by unfavorable mix. Finally, on slide 9, Repair Solutions sales declined 7% versus the prior year as ongoing macro-economic conditions continue to weigh on service technician spend. This was slightly ahead of performance we saw in the first half, and we are starting to see signs of stabilization. Sell-through off the truck once again exceeded sell-in, indicating continued destocking by our distributors. While high-ticket product categories, including tool storage and diagnostic, remain challenged, we're seeing momentum in lower price point offerings. Segment margin declined approximately 50 basis points, primarily related to lower volume, partially offset by stronger contributions from price cost. Turning to the balance sheet and cash flow, on Slide 10, we completed another $70 million in share repurchases in the quarter, bringing us to $175 million in buybacks year-to-date. Net leverage ended the quarter at 2.4x. We exited a minority equity position and completed divestiture of two small encore businesses: a European service business, a part of EFS, and a small point-of-sale solution to the oil and quick lube end market within Mobility Tech. In total, this netted us $60 million in proceeds. On a pro forma annualized basis, these transactions remove approximately $70 million in sales at approximately 10% adjusted operating margin. Turning to our updated outlook assumptions for Q4 and the full year on Slide 11. For the fourth quarter we project revenues in the range of $760 million to $770 million, with core sales roughly flat at the midpoint. Adjusted EPS is expected in the range of $0.82 to $0.86, up mid-single digits at the midpoint. Our Q4 outlook includes a net headwind of approximately $15 million in sales and around $2 million of adjusted operating profit related to the divestitures I discussed. For the full year, we are raising the midpoint of our guidance range. We now expect sales of just over $3.03 billion at the midpoint, with core sales up 2% to 2.5%, reflecting continued strength within our Mobility Tech and EFS segments, which have more than offset the weakness seen in Repair Solutions this year. We're expecting operating margin expansion in the range of 20 to 40 basis points and now guide to adjusted earnings per share of $3.18 at the midpoint. We've updated our other guidance assumptions, which can be found on the right hand side of the slide. We entered the third quarter with a clear view of expected timing dynamics, and our teams delivered accordingly. Our strategic priorities remain unchanged. We're focused on operational excellence, unlocking self-help opportunities, and driving innovation across our portfolio. Throughout 2025, our teams have proactively mitigated the inflationary impacts of tariffs and navigated broader macro uncertainty to support margin expansion and continued growth. At the same time, we're taking meaningful steps to optimize our cost structure and expect solid margin expansion next year. With strong fundamentals and cash generation, I'm confident that we are well positioned to deliver consistent performance and long term value. With that, I'll pass the call back over to Mark for his closing comments.

Thanks, Anshooman. We are pleased with our results year-to-date, which have exceeded our guidance ranges and enabled us to consistently raise our outlook for the year. 2025 has been impacted by headwinds including significant cost inflation and related economic uncertainty caused by tariffs. As Anshooman mentioned, our teams have responded well. I'm proud of the way we have executed against an incredibly complex backdrop. Our connected mobility strategy, deep domain expertise, and broad service network provide us with a clear competitive advantage to capitalize on secular tailwinds across our three end markets. I'm also proud of the progress we've made to advance our strategy and align our organization, both of which lead to accelerating top line performance ahead. I want to take the opportunity to thank everyone who was able to make it to our investor showcase in Chicago recently. This was a milestone event for Vontier in terms of demonstrating progress and in illustrating the opportunity in front of us. This sets us up to better deliver long term value creation for our shareholders. With that, operator, please open the line for questions.

Our first question comes from the line of Jeff Sprague with Vertical Research. Please go ahead.

Mark, I was wondering if you could give us a little more color on sort of what you're seeing on the order front and some of the kind of longer cycle aspects of the portfolio. You know, you mentioned some project investment work in DRB, you know, these international tenders you mentioned. How far do those reach out? Just trying to get an early sense of maybe the exit rate or the setup into 2026 and some of those more visible parts of the portfolio.

Yes, Jeff, happy to answer that. Look, I think what you've seen is the changes occurring at Vontier have led to some longer cycle type selling of digital solutions for our customers. They tend to be quite significant in size. Their selling cycle is a bit longer than maybe selling dispensers which are more shorter cycle. You've seen that run through our P&L and also in our order book. Our orders were just under one for the quarter, but if you look at it on a year over year basis and a two year stack, it's a pretty good level that we're running at. We've also made some announcements for some orders that will be landing for next year as well. I think when you I'll give you a really good example of this, in our car wash business that turned a quarter ahead of where we've told the street. It's really on the backs of bringing this type solution to market. It's an enterprise software solution where the market for car wash is actually flat even down from where we said it was. We're getting a return of growth in that business because we're selling this solution and we're getting some really good uptake from our customers on that. By the way, we see a really good pipeline of funnel of opportunities. We see that business returning to growth in a really good setup. I like our setup that we have for 2026 and I'm very encouraged.

Great. Regarding the exits, how much more is needed? Is there ongoing evaluation of the portfolio? Have you increased your activity in that area? Should we consider this a one-time event or is there likely to be more pruning as we approach next year?

Well, I think you should view pruning as really part of our playbook. We're constantly, as you indicated there, reviewing our portfolio and looking at opportunities. This is also a real outgrowth of an element of VBS where we've incorporated 80/20, where we're evaluating and seeing parts of our portfolio that belong elsewhere. When those things arise, sometimes it takes a while for those things to work through to find the right solution for them. I think you're seeing the culmination of some work that's been underway for a while, and I think you should just look at us to constantly use that dimension to be able to enhance our growth profile and margin profile of the business.

Your next question comes from the line of Julian Mitchell with Barclays. Please go ahead.

This is Jimmy Jiang on for Julian Mitchell. First off, appreciate all the detail you've given on the slides. Maybe just speak to any color on Q4 sales and margins by segment please?

Yes, it's just from a Q4 perspective as we said at the midpoint, relatively flat year-on-year. From a Mobility Technology perspective that business is going to be relatively flat also in Q4 year-on-year coming off a very hard compare and also some project timing. Some of these technology projects have upfront hardware component and then you have recurring revenues. It's the timing of the hardware component out there. Our Environmental & Fueling business should continue to post growth, low- to mid-single-digit growth. For Repair Solutions, we're starting to see signs of sequential stabilization which would put it down mid- to high single digits on a year-on-year basis. From a margin perspective, Mobility Technologies in Q4 should have at the midpoint roughly a 50 basis point margin expansion. If you recall, last year Mobility Technology margins in Q4 were relatively strong at 20.7% which was 170 basis points above their full year average. Despite the harder compare in terms of operating profit margins, we think we'll get another 50 basis points in Q4 this year. EFS had a slightly easier compare from a margin perspective. We expect, in Q4, we expect, they'll be up closer to 100 basis points and then Repair Solutions on the lower volume should be down about 50 basis points. Also as a reminder, we have about $17 million of impact in Q4 off the $70 million in terms of divestitures at roughly 10% operating profit margin.

Got it. That's helpful. Maybe just switching gears a little bit, could you speak to the general bullishness on retail fueling? One of your peers sounded pretty upbeat on CapEx in this space, so would appreciate your thoughts here.

Yes, happy to make some comments on that. Also, if any of you followed our investor teach-in that we had on convenience retail here recently, we are very constructive on the end market. If you take a look at Vontier, about 2/3 of our business is exposed to convenience retail and we have the leadership position worldwide on retail fueling, which is an important element and part of that, I think that's where you're going. If you look at the announcements of the major players in this space, they're building out their footprints and there's also consolidation that is occurring. Given that we've got 2/3 share or more in some of the larger market segments where these larger customers operate, they need the tools and capabilities to be able to operate more effectively, particularly when they're putting more assets in the ground and they're consolidating. This is a great backdrop for us in particular, I think a really positive setup for 2026. Also, I think the market is coming more our way with our technology solutions and market share. I think it's a very constructive element of the secular drivers that are at work that really help out our portfolio.

Your next question comes from the line of Nigel Coe with Wolfe Research. Please go ahead.

Anshooman, could you provide more details about the Mobility Tech segment, especially regarding the hardware you removed? At the segment level, particularly with DRB, I believe it should be showing growth. I'm interested to know what factors are affecting that.

Yes, Nigel, you were breaking up but I think the question was around a little more color on Mobility Technology being flat in Q4. It's really coming off a very hard compare for Invenco. The business had a very strong Q4 based on the timing of certain projects. We've been talking about not only the NFX wins, which had hardware upfront but also the vehicle identification system order which was really delivery, large delivery last year, Q4 and also in Q1, Q2 of this year. It's hard compares for us in Invenco in Q4 again in Q1, Q2. The good news is we do have a couple of large wins in Invenco, another one in the vehicle identification system and one in indoor payments. The timing of these, usually after you win it, there's some development work with the customers, certification through their networks before the rollout starts. These projects, the rollouts will start in the back half of next year, really Q3, Q4. It's just a timing perspective I think for these kinds of businesses versus looking quarter to quarter. If we look at an annual chunk, that's a better way to look at these. This year Invenco will grow well in the double digits and next year we feel pretty confident that Invenco should grow mid-single digits again on a hard compare.

That's really helpful. Maybe on environmental as the previous question alluded. Sounds like the U.S. is sort of in a new CapEx cycle. Just talk about environmental, I think that a bit more noise. Just curious how you see developing over the next 12 months or so.

Yes. So environmental is a good growth driver for us on an annual basis and I think the growth continues into next year. U.S. obviously we're supported by the tank replacement cycle that we've talked about. Also international, we've been seeing growth now, international growth. There's sometimes timing of tenders that cause a little bit up and down in a quarter to quarter. Again from an annual basis, environmental globally is an area that we feel strong about. There's continuing regulation in the space and there's not a slowdown of regulation. The amount of regulation, the complexity of regulation keeps increasing. Also with our connected offering where instead of having on-premises connectivity, our new solutions provide cloud-based connectivity where for larger customers being able to monitor the whole fleet centrally is a big advantage and we're seeing some of that play out. We feel pretty good about our environmental business.

Your next question comes from the line of Katie Fleisher with KeyBanc. Please go ahead.

Just to kind of circle back on Mobility Technologies again, I was wondering if you could give a little more details about the margins. I think earlier this year you had expectations for that segment to grow over 100 basis points year over year with the operating margins. It sounds like that's coming down a bit. Just wondering what's driving that difference there.

Yes, Katie, just let's take Q3. We had expected margins in Mobility Technologies to be up 100 basis points and they were up less than that. It's also low numbers, you know, 40, 50 basis points. You're talking about $1 million, a little over $1 million. In our EFS business, we had some higher costs and timing of projects that caused that roughly $1 million, $1.5 million of lower profit versus our expectations. If we hadn't had that, we would have been right around the 100 basis points we were expecting. A little bit of headwind at our EFS business that we're working on righting and fixing.

Okay, that's helpful. I know you're not ready to guide for 2026 yet, but you made some comments about, you know, expectations for operating leverage to improve next year. How should we think about those comments in relation to the long term targets that you guys have out there?

Yes, Katie, this is Mark. Look, I like our setup for 2026. I'm cautiously optimistic. As you said, it's a little bit too early to give guidance as we're heavily into the planning cycle right now. There is some color we can give. I think we're positioned to accelerate growth. I think our market leadership on convenience retail, being two thirds of our exposure there, looks good. Other elements of our business are stabilizing, like in the Repair Solutions side and, importantly, part of convenience retail. The car wash business is inflecting up. On the margin side, I think we anticipate better drop through than what we've seen because we're accelerating some of our BBS initiatives, particularly around 80/20. Do you want to add some color, Anshooman?

Yes, just putting some numbers around what Mark referenced. While early to give guidance, you know, if you go back to our convenience retail showcase, 67% of our revenue, the market's growing 3 to 4%. We think we can outgrow that market a little bit. That would put roughly 4 to 5% maybe growth for our convenience retail part of our portfolio, which is 67%. For the remaining, which large part of it is our Repair Solutions part of the business, we're starting to see signs of sequential stabilization, which still puts pressure on a year-on-year basis, especially in half one for us. You know the U.S. consumer is still stretched, especially at the lower end, and our technicians are those consumers. We still see pressure in that business but stabilizing sequentially. Best case, you know, as of now we aren't giving guidance but flattish on the remaining part of our portfolio. Our normal drop throughs on growth are typically 30 to 35%. We feel strongly that we'll outdo those given the fact that we have a lot of the 80/20 simplification, all part of our VBS system in terms of continuous improvement. You know, we could see the drop throughs north of 50%, next year approaching almost twice of what our typical drop through of 30 to 35% would be. Somewhere in that range.

Great, thanks for the color.

Katie, I'll just also add as you guys start modeling, just a simple reminder, we do have a $500 million bond that comes up next year in April and that is at 1.8%. I don't think we'll be getting another 1.8% coupon, so it's probably some headwind in interest expense next year too.

Your next question comes from the line of Andrew Obin with Bank of America. Please go ahead.

Hi, this is David Ridley-Lane on for Andrew. So on Repair Solutions, look, you know you have a publicly traded competitor out there, Snap-on Tools. Not going to make too much of 90 day performance. But year-to-date, their segment, tool segment is down 1% and Matco is down 8%. What explains kind of the gap that you're seeing versus your peers?

Yes, David, this is Mark. I think on a quarter to quarter basis you're going to see some ebb and flow. First of all, we have a lot of respect for our competitors. Those were year-to-date numbers. Yes, you know, I think if you go back to last year, you'll see we also gained share as well. I think there is some ebb and flow, and they're on the backs of their expo that they just had this quarter. We do think that the overall market for repair, and if you look at the comments that are out there, is a good backdrop, but the consumer is under a bit of pressure, which I don't think is any news. I think the real efforts that we have there is getting better vitality for some of the lower price point items. We started the year raising price, and we've hung on to some of that price that we've raised, and now we're pivoting back to some of the lower price items. I think the good news is we're seeing sequential stabilization in the business, and I think we're really focused to get an uplift on this business for next year.

Got it. Just for clarification, I think you said your comments on orders, was that a book-to-bill being around. Or were you saying orders were up 1% year over year, organic?

No, that was a book-to-bill.

Yes, book-to-bill. The book-to-bill is just under one for the quarter, hovering around that, around one for the year. We expect to end the year roughly at one.

Your next question comes from the line of Rob Mason with Baird. Please go ahead.

It's good to see the recovery there in DRB. You know, Mark, there's in the past M&A activity in that space seemingly has had a positive dynamic on the business. I've seen industry sources suggest more of that activity could start, more consolidation activity actually could start to happen. I know there's maybe one higher profile thing out there, but just in general, I'm just curious if you're picking that up and does that inform your pipeline as maybe those larger customers where you're strong, you start planning that out?

Yes, absolutely. I think our strategy in the car wash base is to win with the winners. Some of the bigger players out there, some of the more savvy operators in the space are actually making moves to further consolidate. These folks need the tools to be able to operate their footprint. The complexity they're dealing with not only on the cost management side, but also how they can more effectively attract consumers to their car wash. We have great tools with that. With Patheon, customers see excellent returns. If you have more than 100 car washes, that's even better. As you scale, these are the tools you need to scale. That's why we're getting traction in the space ahead of the overall market turn. I think we feel really good about the pipeline and what we've got in the pipeline and the engagements we have with customers. I think it's a real example of our connected mobility strategy beginning to pay off for us and real proof points around it. We're really excited about what we're seeing there.

Good. Going back to the event a few weeks ago in EFS, new products around the tank gauge and capitalize on that replacement cycle. One of the things that came out of the conversations was your install base, those products are just very durable. I'm just curious if there's any other incentives that you can point to that can help customers accelerate the replacement cycle around that product, new product that you introduced.

Yes, we absolutely do. This is a piece of business here that we really derive a tremendous amount of leverage off the massive installed base. This is pretty much the brand of record. If you look at underground equipment, how it's being done on a worldwide basis and particularly on the upgrade cycle in the United States. A couple of things we do, we package solutions so it's easier for folks when they're looking at a complete underground retrofit. We don't make or sell the tanks, but you can package up the tanks with the piping and the sensors and make it a lot easier for them to be able to do that. We also help them on interest rate issues that might come up when they're making a total retrofit solution there. We are very engaged with our customers on how they move that forward. I think the really good news about this secular driver for us is that it's a pretty steady driver that's in its early innings. It's not this massive driver that's going to drive a whole bunch of revenue in a couple quarters. I think it's going to be a pretty steady replacement cycle over the next five plus years, which I think is great. That's the kind of driver, regulatory drivers, that we like and I think we're just well positioned there to win.

I will also add, while Mark covered directly the question in terms of the incentives and how we help drive that, there's a significant value proposition of having connectivity and asset management, asset monitoring, which our solution provides, which the old solutions did not provide. When we talked about last quarter, one of our large customers doing a phase fleet wide upgrade, it's because of the value proposition that our connectivity, our new product offering provides. It's also the latest CARB certification that we provide. There are a lot of benefits. Also, to Mark's point, we are stimulating demand with a lot of these actions.

Your next question comes from the line of Andy Kaplowitz with Citi. Please go ahead.

It's actually Jose on for Andy, maybe going back to Repair Solutions. The margins there seem to be stabilizing, and you pointed to strong price cost contribution in the slide, and I think Matco was the business that was the most exposed to tariffs for you. Maybe talk through how the customer reception has been on those price increases and what you're expecting kind of moving forward.

Yes, I'll jump in. I'll let Anshooman also talk about Repair as well. Look, there's no question that the tariffs have sort of been more significant for Repair Solutions. If you look back over a couple year basis, even from like Trump 1.0 to Trump 2.0, we have really worked very hard to source in region for region. I think, you know, when our setup, when we approach this year, is we source and manufacture 75% in region for region, which is a pretty significant change over the last couple years. We've made a lot of progress. I think we're going to be on our target of getting less than 10% of product sourced in China by the end of this year. I guess that long body of work has really been paying off for us. No question there's been headwinds there on costs and some of the supply chain related issues. I think as we get into next year and hopefully we see the tariffs stabilizing, I'm really proud of the management team for their ability to manage that and offset that. The pricing that we went out with earlier in the year, we've seen some drop through on that price increase that we've made. We're not making any further price increases at the moment, but we did pick up some on the price, and I think as we get into next year, as we continue to work through the tariffs adequately, we'll have better year on year compares on the tariff issue as well. Do you want to add some color there, Anshooman?

Yes, our gross margins have been pretty flat at Repair year-on-year, which basically we passed on the cost of the tariffs. Generally we've been okay passing through that. Some places it's a little more targeted where we have to make decisions around portfolio, et cetera. A large part of it, as Mark Morelli talked, has been moving supply chain and trying to optimize our cost position. Also because of leveraging a more not only a U.S. supply chain, but also other countries outside of China. We will be under $50 million of procurement from China by the end of this year on a run rate basis. Our teams have done a really good job mitigating some of the higher tariff exposures.

Got it. Helpful. Maybe kind of turning over towards cash, I did see that you slightly lowered the conversion to 95% for the full year from your 100%. At the event a couple weeks ago, you talked about targeting over 90% conversion through 2028, which is a little bit lower than the 100% you guys talked about at your previous investor day. I was wondering if you could touch on what's contributing to that and maybe elaborate on any working capital opportunities that you're working on.

Yes. If you also noticed, our tax rate is creeping up a little bit from 21% to 21% to 21.5% for this year. Part of it is to do with the R&D law change. We probably will take a lot of the cash benefit over two years because it does impact the tax rate when you take that. That's part of the 100% going to 95%, just managing our overall tax rate. We're splitting some of the tax benefit over the two years versus taking it all in one year. In terms of greater than 90%, I think that's a pretty good cash conversion. As you're going to have growth in the business, working capital kind of grows with your growth rate. One way to think about it is cash conversion of 100 minus your growth rate is a pretty good target to go for. Greater than 90% gives us some buffer, I would say. We feel very strongly that we have a really good cash conversion profile in our business.

I'm showing no further questions at this time. I would like to turn it back to Mark Morelli for closing remarks.
