Filing Highlights

Financial Performance

Net sales increased by 31.3% YoY to $1.255 billion, with AIT up 26.5% and EVM up 33.7%. This reflects a recovery from prior-year demand declines and distributor inventory reductions.

Gross margin increased to 48.8% from 44.7% YoY, benefiting from volume leverage in both segments. AIT's gross margin increased due to favorable business mix and EVM's gross margin increased due to volume leverage, lower inventory-related charges, and favorable business mix.

Operating income was $191 million compared to an operating loss of $12 million in the prior year. This improvement was driven by higher gross profit and lower operating expenses, primarily due to lower exit and restructuring costs.
