Q1 2026 Summary of Results

Net sales of $200.5 million increased 5.2%, or $10.0 million, versus the first quarter of 2025, inclusive of a $7.9 million foreign currency benefit due to the appreciation of the euro and Chinese yuan relative to the U.S. dollar. By end market, industrial, and electronics and communications sales increased, while automotive sales declined.

GAAP earnings per diluted share were $0.25 compared to a loss per share of $(0.08) in Q1 2025. On an adjusted basis, earnings were $0.75 per diluted share compared to earnings of $0.27 per diluted share in the prior year quarter. There was minimal foreign currency benefit to adjusted earnings per share. The improvement in adjusted earnings resulted from higher sales, improvements in gross margin and lower operating expenses.

First quarter ending cash and cash equivalents were $195.8 million, a decrease of $1.2 million compared to the prior quarter. Net cash provided by operating activities was $5.8 million and capital expenditures were $4.7 million.

Financial Outlook

(dollars in millions, except per share amounts)	Q2 2026
Net Sales	$210 to $220
Gross Margin	32.5% to 33.5%
Adjusted Earnings Per Diluted Share	$0.90 to $1.10
Adjusted EBITDA	$35 to $41

Reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP measures

Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

This earnings release includes the following financial measures that are not presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP"):

(1) Adjusted earnings per diluted share, which the Company defines as earnings (loss) per diluted share excluding acquisition and related integration costs, dispositions, intangible amortization, (gains) losses on the sale or disposal of property, plant and equipment, restructuring, severance, impairment and other related costs, asbestos-related charges (credits), and the related income tax effect on these items, and charges to income tax expense for valuation allowances on deferred tax assets generated in prior years, divided by adjusted weighted average shares outstanding - diluted;

(2) Adjusted EBITDA, which the Company defines as net income (loss) excluding acquisition and related integration costs, dispositions, intangible amortization, (gains) losses on the sale or disposal of property, plant and equipment, restructuring, severance, impairment and other related costs, asbestos-related charges (credits), interest income (expense), net, income tax (benefit) expense , depreciation of fixed assets, and equity compensation expense;

(3) Adjusted EBITDA margin, which the Company defines as the percentage that results from dividing Adjusted EBITDA by total net sales;

(4) Free cash flow, which the Company defines as net cash provided by operating activities less non-acquisition capital expenditures.

Management believes adjusted earnings per diluted share, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin are useful to investors because they allow for comparison to the Company's performance in prior periods without the effect of items that, by their nature, tend to obscure the Company's core operating results due to potential variability across periods based on the timing, frequency and magnitude of such items. As a result, management believes that these measures enhance the ability of investors to analyze trends in the Company's business and evaluate the Company's performance relative to peer companies. Management also believes free cash flow is useful to investors as an additional way of viewing the Company's liquidity and provides a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting the Company's cash flows. However, non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation from, or as alternatives to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from, and should not be compared to, similarly named measures used by other companies. Reconciliations of the differences between these non-GAAP financial measures and their most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP are set forth below.

The Company provides quarterly guidance for adjusted earnings per diluted share and adjusted EBITDA on a non-GAAP basis only. The forward-looking comparable GAAP measures and a reconciliation of adjusted earnings per share and adjusted EBITDA to GAAP are excluded in reliance upon the exception provided by Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying, without unreasonable efforts, certain reconciling items. These include, among other things, adjustments that could be made for acquisition and related integration costs, dispositions, intangible amortization, (gains) losses on the sale or disposal of property, plant and equipment, restructuring, severance, impairment and other related costs, asbestos-related charges (credits), and charges to income tax expense for valuation allowances on deferred tax assets generated in prior years, and other charges reflected in the Company's reconciliations of historic numbers, the amount of which, based on historical experience, could be significant.
