Electronics growth: Announced long-term agreement for Air Products San Fu to build, own and operate four large state-of-the-art air separation units, bulk gas supply systems and new underground pipeline systems supporting a semiconductor manufacturer's expansion in Taiwan Optimizing project portfolio: Announced decision to not proceed with Louisiana Clean Energy Complex and discontinue zero-carbon liquid hydrogen facility in Arizona (Casa Grande) and other smaller-scale clean energy distribution projects Signed NEOM Green Hydrogen Project agreement: Finalized marketing and distribution agreement with Yara for renewable ammonia from the NEOM Green Hydrogen Project in Saudi Arabia Fiscal 2026 Third Quarter Consolidated Results (comparison versus prior year)

, /PRNewswire/ -- Air Products (NYSE:APD) today reported third quarter fiscal 2026 GAAP results, including  operating loss of $2.1 billion and loss per share# of $6.47, each down over 300 percent, and GAAP operating margin of negative 66.3 percent, compared to 26.2 percent in the prior year. Fiscal 2026 results include charges of approximately $2.9 billion pre-tax ($2.2 billion after-tax, or $9.92 per share) associated with project exit decisions announced on June 30, 2026. The non-GAAP financial measures discussed below exclude these charges, as well as other items, as described in the "Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" section of this release.

On a non-GAAP basis, third quarter adjusted operating income* of $810 million increased nine percent on higher on-site volumes, favorable currency, and higher pricing, partially offset by higher costs. Adjusted operating margin* of 25.6 percent improved 110 basis points. Adjusted EPS* of $3.47 increased 12 percent and also benefited from higher equity affiliates' income.

Third quarter sales of $3.2 billion increased five percent on three percent higher volumes, one percent higher pricing, and one percent favorable currency.

Chief Executive Officer Eduardo Menezes said, "Despite macroeconomic volatility, Air Products delivered 12 percent growth in adjusted EPS and high single-digit adjusted operating income improvement this quarter through continued discipline in our underlying business. Having taken additional decisions to further optimize our large project portfolio, we have a clear pathway to reduce capital expenditures and drive continued profitable growth through high-quality, traditional industrial gas projects. We are also pleased to have finalized our marketing and distribution agreement with Yara, creating the first fully integrated value chain for renewable ammonia by enabling product from the world's first large-scale green ammonia plant to be sold and delivered through Yara's existing global supply chain."

Per share amounts are calculated and presented on a diluted basis from continuing operations attributable to Air Products.

*

Certain results in this release include references to non-GAAP financial measures on a consolidated, continuing operations basis. Additional information regarding these measures and reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP historical results can be found below. Management is unable to reconcile, without unreasonable efforts, the Company's forecasted range of adjusted EPS or capital expenditures to a comparable GAAP range or amount because management is not able to predict the timing or occurrence of events or transactions that management believes are not representative of the Company's underlying business performance or the timing or occurrence of future investment activity, which are necessary to calculate forward-looking adjusted EPS from continuing operations and capital expenditures, respectively. Refer to the "Capital Expenditures" and "Adjusted EPS Outlook" sections below for additional information.

Fiscal 2026 Third Quarter Results by Business Segment 

Americas sales of $1.3 billion increased five percent from the prior year as seven percent higher volumes were partially offset by two percent lower energy cost pass-through. Operating income of $395 million increased six percent, driven by volume growth from HyCO facilities and a new on-site asset, and favorable pricing. These benefits were partially offset by higher costs, primarily reflecting fixed-cost inflation, increased product distribution and dislocation costs, and project development costs, net of lower depreciation expense. Operating margin of 29.9 percent increased 20 basis points, including an approximate 50-basis-point favorable impact from energy cost pass-through. Asia sales of $886 million increased nine percent from the prior year on six percent higher volumes, two percent favorable currency, and one percent higher energy cost pass-through. Volume growth was driven by higher on-site volumes, including new assets, as well as improved helium volumes. Operating income of $256 million increased 18 percent and operating margin of 28.9 percent improved 210 basis points, primarily due to higher volumes and lower depreciation due to certain gasification assets being classified as held for sale, partially offset by higher costs driven by incentive compensation. Europe sales of $816 million increased six percent from the prior year on three percent higher energy cost pass-through, three percent favorable currency, and two percent higher pricing, partially offset by two percent lower volumes. Operating income of $231 million increased two percent, driven by higher pricing, net of higher power costs, favorable currency, and favorable business mix attributable to higher-margin on-site volumes. These benefits were partially offset by higher costs, including fixed-cost inflation. Operating margin of 28.3 percent decreased 90 basis points, which included an approximate 50-basis-point headwind from energy cost pass-through. Middle East and India equity affiliates' income of $101 million increased 18 percent from the prior year, primarily from affiliates in Saudi Arabia. Corporate and other sales of $103 million decreased 28 percent from the prior year. Operating loss of $80 million improved three percent on productivity and favorable foreign exchange impacts, partially offset by lower sale of equipment activity. Outlook
Air Products is raising its full-year fiscal 2026 adjusted EPS guidance* to a range of $13.39 to $13.49. For the fiscal 2026 fourth quarter, Air Products' adjusted EPS guidance* is $3.55 to $3.65. Air Products remains cautious given macroeconomic uncertainty but expects to see benefits from new asset contributions, pricing actions, and progress on productivity initiatives.

Air Products now expects capital expenditures* to be approximately $3.5 billion for full-year fiscal 2026.

Operating income (loss) for our reportable segments does not include gains or losses that management does not consider to be indicative of underlying business performance, such as charges related to business and asset actions. Refer below for a reconciliation of total segment operating income to consolidated results.

(B)

Segment equity affiliates' income for the nine months ended 30 June 2025 excludes a $6.8 impairment charge related to a joint venture in China, which was recorded as part of our business and asset actions during the second quarter of fiscal year 2025. As a result, total segment equity affiliates' income does not reconcile to equity affiliates' income for the total company as reported on the consolidated income statement for the nine months ended 30 June 2025.

RECONCILIATIONS OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
(Millions of U.S. Dollars unless otherwise indicated, except for per share data)

We present certain financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") because they exclude items that management does not consider to be representative of our underlying business operations. We provide these adjusted non-GAAP financial measures to allow investors, potential investors, securities analysts, and others to evaluate our business in the same manner as management. When viewed together with our GAAP results, we believe these non-GAAP financial measures offer a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting our financial performance and support analysis of our results on a more consistent basis.

Readers are cautioned that non‑GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the corresponding GAAP measures. Our definitions and calculations of non‑GAAP financial measures may differ from those used by other companies, which may limit comparability.

Non-GAAP Performance Measures
Management uses non-GAAP performance measures, including adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, and adjusted earnings per share ("EPS"), to assess our performance because these measures exclude items that management does not consider to be representative of our underlying business operations. In addition, adjusted operating income and adjusted EPS are important components of our incentive compensation plans. We also use adjusted operating margin to assess operational efficiency, cost discipline, and overall profitability.

Our non‑GAAP performance measures are adjusted to exclude gains or losses that management believes are not associated with the ongoing operations of our business. These adjustments, which are described below for the periods presented, are not reflected in the results of our reportable segments. Although these items are often difficult to predict, readers should be aware that similar gains or losses may occur in future periods. The related tax effects reflect the expected current and deferred income tax impacts of our non-GAAP adjustments, which are primarily driven by the statutory tax rates of the applicable jurisdictions and the taxability of the underlying adjustments in those jurisdictions.

We reconcile each non‑GAAP performance measure to its most directly comparable GAAP measure in the table below, followed by descriptions of each non-GAAP adjustment. Margins are calculated by dividing the applicable line item by consolidated sales for the relevant period. In addition to our non-GAAP performance measures, we also present components used in calculating adjusted EPS to illustrate the per share effect of our non‑GAAP adjustments. All per share amounts are calculated on a diluted basis from continuing operations attributable to Air Products. Because margins and per share amounts are calculated independently, the individual components may not sum to the related totals due to rounding.

(A)

Calculated and presented on a diluted basis from continuing operations attributable to Air Products. Because we reported a loss from operations in fiscal year 2026, GAAP loss per share is calculated using the basic weighted average share value of 222.8 million, which does not consider outstanding share-based awards due to their anti-dilutive effect. Adjusted earnings per share is calculated using a diluted weighted average share value of 222.9 million.

Loss attributable to noncontrolling interests was $0.1.

Non-GAAP Adjustments

Business and Asset Actions
During the quarter ended 30 June 2026, the Company recognized project exit charges of approximately $2.9 billion pre-tax ($2.2 billion after-tax, or $9.92 per share) associated with actions announced on 30 June 2026, including the exit of a clean energy complex under construction in Louisiana and a green hydrogen production facility under construction in Casa Grande, Arizona, as well as certain other smaller-scale clean energy distribution projects. In the prior-year quarter, the Company recognized $24.1 of project exit charges pre-tax ($15.4 after-tax, or $0.07 per share), primarily reflecting revisions to cost estimates associated with project exit actions approved in the second quarter of fiscal year 2025.

Shareholder Activism-Related Costs
We recorded shareholder activism-related costs in fiscal year 2025 in connection with a proxy contest that concluded in January 2025 following certification of the election of directors at the 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. Costs recorded during the third quarter of fiscal year 2025 were $25.0 pre-tax ($18.8 after-tax, or $0.08 per share), primarily related to the reimbursement of proxy-related expenses incurred by Mantle Ridge LP and its affiliated entities.

Gain on Sale of Business
In April 2025, we completed the sale of our 100% ownership interest in a consolidated subsidiary in Singapore for cash proceeds of $104.3. We recognized a gain of $67.3 pre-tax ($51.9 after-tax, or $0.23 per share) as a result of the transaction during the third quarter of fiscal year 2025.

Gain on Sale of Other Assets
In June 2025, we sold a regional office in Hersham, England, for cash proceeds of $37.7. We recognized a gain on sale of $31.3 pre-tax ($23.8 after-tax, or $0.11 per share) during the third quarter of fiscal year 2025 that is presented within "Other income (expense), net" on our consolidated income statements.

Loss on De-designation of Cash Flow Hedges
In fiscal year 2024, we discontinued cash flow hedge accounting for certain interest rate swaps due to changes in the anticipated drawdown timeline for hedged borrowings related to the NEOM Green Hydrogen Project. These swaps are held by NEOM Green Hydrogen Company, a consolidated joint venture accounted for under the variable interest model, in which Air Products holds a one-third ownership interest. As a result of the de-designation, unrealized gains and losses related to the affected swaps were recorded in "Other non-operating income (expense), net" on our consolidated income statements. During the third quarter of fiscal year 2025, we recorded an unrealized loss of $0.3 pre-tax ($0.1 attributable to Air Products after tax), with $0.1 attributable to our noncontrolling partners.

We re-designated the affected swaps as cash flow hedges when the outstanding borrowings under the available project financing became commensurate with the swaps' notional values. As of 1 January 2026, all swaps were re-designated as cash flow hedges.

Loss From Discontinued Operations
Our non-GAAP financial measures are presented on a continuing operations basis, which excludes a pre-tax loss from discontinued operations of $10.6 ($8.0 after tax, or $0.04 per share) recorded during the third quarter of fiscal year 2025 primarily to increase retained environmental remediation obligations associated with businesses sold in 2008.

Non-Service Related Pension Items
Non-service related pension items resulted in net non-operating costs of $3.2 ($2.4 after tax, or $0.01 per share) in the third quarter of fiscal year 2026 compared to $10.9 ($8.1 after tax, or $0.04 per share) in the third quarter of fiscal year 2025. Non-service related components are recurring, non-operating items that include interest cost, expected returns on plan assets, prior service cost amortization, actuarial loss amortization, as well as special termination benefits, curtailments, and settlements. The net impact of non-service related components is reflected within "Other non-operating income (expense), net" on our consolidated income statements. Adjusting for the impact of non-service pension components provides management and users of our financial statements with a more accurate representation of our underlying business performance because these components are driven by factors that are unrelated to our operations, such as volatility in equity and debt markets. Further, non-service related components are not indicative of our defined benefit plans' future contribution needs due to the funded status of the plans.

Capital Expenditures (Non-GAAP)

Capital expenditures is a non-GAAP financial measure that management uses to evaluate our deployment of capital and assess alignment with our strategic priorities. Our calculation of this measure begins as the sum of cash paid for additions to plant and equipment, including long-term deposits, acquisitions (less cash acquired), investment in and advances to unconsolidated affiliates, and investment in financing receivables, each of which are reported on our consolidated statements of cash flows.

We then adjust this amount to exclude spending for additions to plant and equipment by our consolidated joint venture, NEOM Green Hydrogen Company ("NGHC"), to the extent such spending is funded by sources other than Air Products' cash. These other funding sources include NGHC's project financing, which is non‑recourse to Air Products, as well as equity contributions from the other joint venture partners. Management believes this adjustment provides a more useful view of the capital we deploy to support the ongoing growth of our business.

The most directly comparable GAAP measure to our non‑GAAP capital expenditures is "Cash used for investing activities," as reported on our consolidated statements of cash flows. The reconciliation of cash used for investing activities to our reported capital expenditures is provided below:

Outlook for Investing Activities
It is not possible, without unreasonable efforts, to reconcile our forecasted capital expenditures to future cash used for investing activities because management is unable to identify the timing or occurrence of our future investment activity, which is driven by our assessment of competing opportunities at the time we enter into transactions. These decisions, either individually or in the aggregate, could have a significant effect on our cash used for investing activities. Accordingly, management is unable to fully reconcile, without unreasonable efforts, our forecasted capital expenditures to future cash used for investing activities.

We expect capital expenditures of approximately $3.5 billion for fiscal year 2026.

Adjusted EPS Outlook (Non-GAAP)

The adjusted EPS guidance below is provided on a diluted basis from continuing operations attributable to Air Products and is compared to historical adjusted EPS. These adjusted measures exclude the impact of certain items that we believe are not representative of our underlying business performance, such as the non-service components of net periodic benefit/cost for our defined benefit pension plans, the incurrence of costs for business, asset, and cost reduction actions and impairment charges, or the recognition of gains or losses on certain disclosed items. The per share impact for each non-GAAP adjustment is calculated independently and may not sum to total adjusted EPS due to rounding.

It is not possible, without unreasonable efforts, to predict the timing or occurrence of these or similar future events or the potential for other events or transactions that may impact future GAAP EPS. Furthermore, it is not possible to identify the potential significance of these events in advance; however, any of these events, if they were to occur, could have a significant effect on our future GAAP EPS. Accordingly, management is unable to fully reconcile, without unreasonable efforts, our forecasted range of adjusted EPS to a comparable GAAP range.

"Our team continued to execute well in the second quarter, demonstrating the resilience of the A. O. Smith team and our business model," said Steve Shafer, chairman and chief executive officer. "While North America continued to face softer residential water heater demand, we are pleased with the progress we are making in our market share, as well as the strong growth in our boiler business. Operational excellence and delivering for our customers remained key priorities throughout the quarter. In China, we managed through a significantly weaker market environment and continue our strategic assessment of the business. We remain committed to disciplined execution and investing in opportunities that will strengthen our competitive position and drive long-term value creation."

Segment-level Performance

North America

Second quarter sales increased 5% to $820.5 million, driven by higher boiler volumes, the benefits of carryover pricing and a $16 million sales contribution from Leonard Valve, acquired in January 2026, partially offset by lower residential water heater volumes. Excluding Leonard Valve, organic sales increased 3%.

Segment earnings were $177.2 million, and segment margin was 21.6% in the second quarter of 2026 compared to second quarter of 2025 segment earnings of $198.1 million and segment margin of 25.4%. Second quarter 2026 adjusted segment earnings and adjusted segment margin were $199.8 million and 24.4%, respectively, and exclude $22.6 million of restructuring and impairment expenses associated with a restructuring plan designed to improve profitability and accelerate growth through footprint optimization and brand rationalization in our North America water treatment business. Beginning in 2027, annual savings associated with these restructuring actions are projected to be approximately $6 million to $8 million. The year-over-year decrease in segment earnings and segment margin was primarily due to restructuring and impairment expenses. Adjusted segment earnings were slightly higher with a decrease in adjusted segment margin, primarily due to higher steel and other input costs largely offsetting realized pricing in the quarter.

Rest of World

Rest of World sales of $194.9 million decreased 19% compared to the prior year period and included a favorable currency translation impact of $6 million primarily related to sales in China. China sales decreased 28% in local currency due to continued weak consumer demand and a challenging market environment.

Segment earnings were $10.2 million, and segment margin was 5.2% in the second quarter of 2026, compared to segment earnings of $25.3 million and segment margin of 10.5% in the same period of 2025. The lower segment earnings and segment margin compared to the prior year were primarily due to lower China sales volumes which were partially offset by continued cost management.

Balance Sheet, Liquidity and Capital Allocation

As of June 30, 2026, cash balances totaled $181.3 million and debt totaled $637.5 million, resulting in a leverage ratio of 25.7% as measured by total debt-to-total capitalization. The increased leverage ratio compared to 2025 was due to cash borrowed under a new term loan used to acquire Leonard Valve in January 2026.

Cash provided by operations was $253.8 million and free cash flow was $233.3 million in the first half of 2026, up 42% and 67%, respectively, versus the prior year period, primarily driven by working capital management that more than offset lower earnings.

As part of its commitment to return capital to shareholders, the Company deployed $162.4 million to repurchase 2.6 million shares in the first half of 2026. As of June 30, 2026, authority remained to repurchase approximately 3.2 million additional shares. Supported by strong cash flow performance in the first half of the year, the Company increased its full-year 2026 share repurchase target by 50% to $300 million from $200 million.

On July 13, 2026, the Company's board of directors approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.36 per share for shareholders of record on July 31, payable on August 17. For the full release, click here.

Excludes North America water treatment pre-tax restructuring and impairment expenses of approximately $20 million, of which $22.6 million was recognized in the second quarter. Anticipated proceeds from the sale of certain assets are expected to occur in late 2026. See accompanying GAAP to Non-GAAP reconciliations

Due to continued softness in residential water heater industry volumes, the Company narrowed its full-year 2026 sales growth outlook to a range of 2% to 3%, compared to its previous range of 2% to 4%. The Company also narrowed its full-year 2026 adjusted EPS outlook to be between $3.70 and $3.85, from $3.70 to $4.00.

Shafer concluded, "While residential water heater demand remains soft, we are confident in our business fundamentals, competitive position and ability to execute our strategy. Our strong cash flow generation underscores the resilience of our operating model and supports disciplined capital deployment, including our decision to increase the full-year share repurchase target by 50% as we continue returning value to shareholders."

The Company's guidance excludes the potential impacts from future acquisitions, any potential outcomes of the assessment of its China business and the potential impact of the recently announced changes in tariff policy.

To provide improved transparency into the operating results of its business, the Company is providing non-GAAP measures. Free cash flow is defined as cash provided by operations less capital expenditures. North America segment organic growth excludes the impact of Leonard Valve. Adjusted earnings, adjusted EPS and adjusted segment earnings exclude the impact of restructuring and impairment charges. Reconciliations from GAAP measures to non-GAAP measures are provided in the financial information included in this news release.

NetRise blokuje škodlivé balíčky v rámci vývojářského workflow
ACN Accenture
FMP Stock News 78
Original source text
New Package Firewall CLI, VS Code extension, and AI coding assistant plugins enforce package trust before malicious or policy-violating dependencies are installed.

, /PRNewswire/ -- NetRise®, the software supply chain security company that exists to eliminate blind trust in software, today announced enhancements to NetRise Provenance®, bringing package trust enforcement into the developer workflow via Visual Studio Code, the command line, and AI coding assistants. The release enables organizations to detect and block malicious or policy-violating open source packages before they enter software projects.

The release introduces three new enforcement mechanisms that extend Provenance's package trust decisions across developer workflows:

Provenance Package Firewall CLI: Enforces organizational policy at package install time in the command line interface (CLI), blocking malicious or non-compliant packages before they are downloaded. Provenance Extension for Visual Studio Code: Evaluates dependency manifests as developers write them, identifying malicious or non-compliant packages directly in the editor with contextual guidance and one-click remediation. AI Coding Assistant Plugins: Extends Provenance enforcement to AI coding assistants, including Claude Code, Gemini, and Codex, applying the same package trust decisions and policy enforcement to AI-initiated dependency installs. Modern software supply chain attacks, such as the recent LiteLLM and Axios compromises, share similar characteristics: a package or one of its dependencies is compromised. The malicious release stays published and is pulled into every project that requests it, until it is detected. Each compromise was quickly discovered and fixed, with the window of exposure being merely hours. 

"The problem is everything that happens while it's still up," said Michael Scott, Co-Founder and CTO of NetRise. "Builds run, releases go out, containers deploy, all automatically.  AI tools pull dependencies into projects for people who aren't even developers. By the time an advisory is published and the package is quarantined, the compromised version has already spread." 

"Provenance is built for that window. It blocks the package at every point of install - the developer machine, the software and firmware build pipeline, the AI assistant working on a user's behalf.  It shifts the approach of CISOs and Product Security leaders into one of proactive defense rather than reactive response.  When the next attack makes headlines, they have the confidence that the affected packages never got in."

The new mechanisms move package trust decisions earlier in the software development lifecycle by evaluating dependencies as they are introduced into a project and enforcing the same policy at install time. A shared policy engine ensures the same trust decision is applied in the editor, at the command line, in AI coding assistants, and in continuous integration (CI).

Developers receive immediate feedback while they edit dependency manifests, including plain-language explanations for flagged packages, one-click remediation, and options to record policy exceptions. The Package Firewall enforces those same decisions during package installation.

"The oldest problem in cybersecurity isn't malicious code—it's trusting software before you know where it came from or whether it deserves that trust," said Thomas Pace, Co-founder and CEO of NetRise. "Malicious packages are just the latest example of a much older problem: organizations continue to rely on software and components they haven't truly validated. That model has to end. Software should prove its origin, integrity, and lineage before it ever runs, and when something does slip through, you should immediately understand where it came from and everywhere it exists. With Provenance integrated into the developer workflow and Turbine continuously validating software in production, that becomes the foundation of how software is built and trusted."

The new enforcement capabilities build on Provenance's existing software supply chain intelligence, extending the same package trust decisions from dependency authoring through software delivery. Learn more about NetRise Provenance at netrise.io/products/provenance.

The Provenance Package Firewall CLI, the AI coding assistant plugins, and the Provenance extension for Visual Studio Code are available to Provenance customers, with initial support for the Python (PyPI) ecosystem and additional ecosystems planned.

About NetRise

NetRise is the software supply chain security company that exists to eliminate blind trust in software forever. By identifying every component in each binary image across firmware, kernels, operating systems, containers, and applications, NetRise exposes the full stack of inherited risk that source-based tools, vendor SBOMs, and questionnaires cannot see. Non-code related risk uncovered includes hidden dependencies, cryptographic artifacts, misconfigurations, secrets, among others. Global enterprises that produce and consume software, including government agencies, rely on NetRise to validate what they ship and what they run. When the software supply chain is compromised by bad actors, NetRise answers the questions, "how far do these compromises extend?" and "where am I exposed?" enabling rapid identification, prioritization, mitigation, and policy updates, reducing material risk to the business. NetRise has entered into an agreement to be acquired by Accenture (NYSE: ACN), which is also taking a majority investment in Dragos. Upon close of the transactions, NetRise will operate under Dragos.

Key Corning News Here are the key news stories impacting Corning this week:

Positive Sentiment: Corning reported second-quarter revenue of $4.74 billion, up 17% year over year, while core EPS rose 30% to $0.78, exceeding the $0.76 consensus estimate. Corning Q2 results Positive Sentiment: Optical Communications sales increased 32% to $2.07 billion, led by a 65% gain in Enterprise Networks as generative-AI products continued to grow rapidly. Solar sales also climbed 90%, supporting revenue, margins and free cash flow. Corning beats Q2 estimates Positive Sentiment: Management highlighted demand from AI data centers and its Springboard plan, which is intended to accelerate sales and profitability. Corning’s fiber products are benefiting from the shift toward higher-bandwidth data-center networks. GLW AI growth plan Neutral Sentiment: Citigroup maintained a Buy rating but reduced its price target from $240 to $220. JPMorgan lowered its target from $200 to $170 and kept a Neutral rating, indicating analysts still see potential upside but have moderated expectations. Analyst target changes Negative Sentiment: Third-quarter revenue guidance of $4.9 billion to $5.0 billion was viewed as roughly in line with, rather than above, Wall Street’s $5.0 billion expectation. Although EPS guidance of $0.85-$0.89 exceeded the consensus midpoint, investors wanted a stronger outlook after the stock’s prior AI-driven rally. Corning guidance reaction Negative Sentiment: The guidance disappointment triggered a broad selloff in optical and AI infrastructure stocks. Analysts and market commentators also cited valuation concerns and a possible rotation away from recent AI winners, making the earnings beat insufficient to support the share price.

Notes:

1. Adjusted income (loss) from operations is a principal financial measure of profitability used by The Cigna Group's management because it presents the underlying results of operations of the Company's businesses and facilitates analysis of trends in underlying revenue, expenses and shareholders' net income. Adjusted income (loss) from operations is defined as shareholders' net income (or income before income taxes less pre-tax income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests for the segment metric) excluding net investment gains/losses, amortization of acquired intangible assets and special items. The Cigna Group's share of certain investment results of its joint ventures reported in the Cigna Healthcare segment using the equity method of accounting are also excluded. Special items are matters that management believes are not representative of the underlying results of normal, recurring operations due to their nature or size. Adjusted income (loss) from operations is measured on an after-tax basis for consolidated results and on a pre-tax basis for segment results. Consolidated adjusted income (loss) from operations is not determined in accordance with GAAP and should not be viewed as a substitute for the most directly comparable GAAP measure, shareholders' net income. See Exhibit 1 for a reconciliation of consolidated adjusted income from operations to shareholders' net income.

2. Management is not able to provide a reconciliation of adjusted income from operations to shareholders' net income, on a forward-looking basis because it is unable to predict, without unreasonable effort, certain components thereof including (i) future net investment results and (ii) future special items. These items are inherently uncertain and depend on various factors, many of which are beyond The Cigna Group's control. As such, any associated estimate and its impact on shareholders' net income and total revenues could vary materially. 

The Company's outlook excludes the potential effects of any other business combinations that may occur after the date of this earnings release. The Company's outlook includes the potential effects of expected future share repurchases and anticipated 2026 dividends.

The timing and actual number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including price, general business and market conditions, and alternate uses of capital. The share repurchase program may be effected through open market purchases in compliance with Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including through Rule 10b5-1 trading plans, or privately negotiated transactions. The program may be suspended or discontinued at any time.

3. Adjusted revenues is used by The Cigna Group's management because it facilitates analysis of trends in underlying revenue. The Company defines adjusted revenues as total revenues excluding the following adjustments: special items and The Cigna Group's share of certain investment results of its joint ventures reported in the Cigna Healthcare segment using the equity method of accounting. Special items are matters that management believes are not representative of the underlying results of normal, recurring operations due to their nature or size. We exclude these items from this measure because management believes they are not indicative of past or future underlying performance of the business. Adjusted revenues is not determined in accordance with GAAP and should not be viewed as a substitute for the most directly comparable GAAP measure, total revenues. See Exhibit 1 for a reconciliation of consolidated adjusted revenues to total revenues.

4. Operating ratios are defined as follows:

The Cigna Healthcare medical care ratio ("MCR") represents medical costs as a percentage of premiums for all Cigna Healthcare risk products provided through guaranteed cost or experience-rated funding arrangements.

Yum Brands hlásí smíšené výsledky bez zpráv o Taco Bell
YUM Yum! Brands
FMP Stock News 86
Original source text
Yum Brands on Wednesday reported mixed quarterly results but provided no details on how the cyclospora outbreak tied to Taco Bell restaurants is affecting its business.

Since the Food and Drug Administration first linked the parasitic outbreak to iceberg lettuce served by Taco Bell in mid-July, daily traffic to the chain's locations has plunged by double digit percentages, according to Placer.ai data. Yum depends on Taco Bell as a "growth engine" for the company, and the crisis puts that title in jeopardy, at least in the near term.

The results Yum reported are for its second quarter ended June 30, before it was tied to the foodborne illness outbreak. During Yum's earnings conference call, which begins at 8:15 a.m. ET, executives will likely face questions about the related sales downturn at Taco Bell and any effect on its future earnings. The restaurant company does not typically provide an outlook for same-store sales growth or earnings per share for the full year or the next quarter.

Other restaurant chains not implicated in the outbreak have also seen their sales slip. Chipotle Mexican Grill executives said consumers' mistrust of chains serving fresh lettuce weighed on sales in the second half of July.

Here's what Yum reported compared with what Wall Street was expecting, based on a survey of analysts by LSEG:

Earnings per share: $1.62 adjusted vs. $1.58 expectedRevenue: $2.17 billion vs. $2.2 billion expectedYum reported second-quarter net income of $853 million, or $3.08 per share, up from $374 million, or $1.33 per share, a year earlier.

Excluding charges related to its strategic review of Pizza Hut and other items, the restaurant company earned $1.62 per share.

Net revenue climbed 12% to $2.17 billion, lifted by new restaurant openings.

The company's global same-store sales rose 3% in the quarter, roughly in line with StreetAccount estimates of 2.9% growth.

Taco Bell's same-store sales jumped 7% in the quarter. The Mexican-inspired chain has long been the top performer in Yum's portfolio.

KFC reported same-store sales growth of 2%. In China, its largest market, system sales rose 6%, according to Yum.

Pizza Hut's same-store sales slipped 1%. Last month, Yum announced the sale of the long-struggling pizza chain to private equity firm LongRange Capital and Yum China for $2.7 billion.

Second quarter income from operations of $1,272.1 million (excluding special items, second quarter income from operations of $1,054.0 million) PBF reduced gross debt by over $1 billion in the second quarter Declared quarterly dividend of $0.275 per share PBF received a fifth unallocated installment of $250.0 million related to the Martinez refinery fire Martinez refinery restart completed in May 2026 , /PRNewswire/ -- PBF Energy Inc. (NYSE: PBF) today reported second quarter 2026 income from operations of $1,272.1 million as compared to income from operations of $43.0 million for the second quarter of 2025. Excluding special items, second quarter 2026 income from operations was $1,054.0 million as compared to loss from operations of $110.0 million for the second quarter of 2025.

The company reported second quarter 2026 net income of $915.0 million and net income attributable to PBF Energy Inc. of $906.4 million or $7.54 per share. This compares to net loss of $5.4 million and net loss attributable to PBF Energy Inc. of $5.2 million or $(0.05) per share for the second quarter 2025. Non-cash special items included in the second quarter 2026 results, which increased net income by a net, after-tax benefit of $159.8 million, or $1.32 per share, primarily consisted of gains on insurance recoveries associated with the February 1, 2025 fire at the Martinez refinery (the "Martinez refinery fire"), partially offset by expenses associated with the Martinez refinery fire, costs related to PBF's Refinery Business Improvement initiative ("RBI"), and loss on extinguishment of debt related to the redemption of the 6.00% senior unsecured notes due 2028. Adjusted fully-converted net income for the second quarter 2026, excluding special items, was $753.1 million, or $6.22 per share on a fully-exchanged, fully-diluted basis, as described below, compared to adjusted fully-converted net loss, excluding special items, of $118.5 million or $(1.03) per share, for the second quarter 2025.

Matt Lucey, PBF's President and CEO, said, "We are in a cyclical business with a volatile and ever-changing environment. During the second quarter, PBF delivered significant equity value through our net debt reduction of over $1.4 billion. We will continue to apply a rigorous capital allocation process including investing in our refineries to capitalize on market opportunities and strengthening our balance sheet to ensure we are maximizing value for our investors. The underlying fundamentals for refining remain incredibly strong with tight global supply and demand balances. PBF, with its coastal complexity, is ideally positioned to capture these opportunities and generate significant value for our investors."

Mr. Lucey continued, "The Martinez refinery successfully returned to full operations in the second quarter and is once again supplying California with a full slate of much-needed, domestically-produced products. The team at Martinez worked tirelessly, conducting repairs as expeditiously as possible and, more importantly, cemented their tremendous efforts with a safe restart." Mr. Lucey concluded, "Our primary objective, especially in the current environment, is to ensure that we remain focused on safe, reliable and responsible operations."

PBF Energy Inc. Declares Dividend
The company announced today that it will pay a quarterly dividend of $0.275 per share of Class A common stock on August 28, 2026, to shareholders of record at the close of business on August 14, 2026.

Martinez Refinery Update 
Following completion of the construction activities, the Martinez refinery returned to full operations in May 2026. Company and refinery management extend their thanks to all of the parties, internal and external, who worked for more than a year to return Martinez to full operations and, once again, to supplying Californian consumers with our full slate of products made in-state.

As previously disclosed, the company expects the fire-related cost of restoring the refinery to full operational status will largely be covered by insurance, subject to the company's deductible and retentions totaling $30 million. Further, beyond the initial 60-day waiting period, the company expects that its business interruption insurance will significantly offset the financial loss resulting from the downtime through the restart of the refinery. This coverage commenced on April 3, 2025. In the second quarter, PBF's insurers paid a fifth, unallocated, installment of insurance proceeds of $250 million, totaling $1.25 billion of unallocated insurance reimbursements received to date, net of deductibles and retentions. The timing and amount of any agreed future payments will be dependent on the quantum of actual, covered expenditures and calculated losses. Working with our insurance group, PBF expects to finalize the claim process in the second half of 2026.

PBF Guidance Update and Outlook
We are committed to running all of our assets in a safe, reliable and environmentally responsible manner, and continuing to progress our RBI program, which is focused on improving reliability and efficiency across our system. In 2025, the RBI program generated in excess of $230 million of run-rate cost improvements and that total is expected to grow to more than $350 million of run-rate cost improvements by year-end 2026. The RBI program is an ongoing, sustained initiative that continues to gain momentum in improving PBF's cost structure and we expect to continue this effort beyond our current goals. Concurrent with the goal of improving system-wide reliability and efficiency, we expect to realize these benefits of the RBI program in our refinery operating expenses and our capital and turnaround programs.

During the second quarter, PBF reduced net debt by over 62% by fully paying down its asset-backed lending facility and refinancing approximately $802 million of senior notes due 2028 using available cash and proceeds from the issuance of $500 million of senior notes due 2034, an aggregate gross debt reduction of over $1 billion. At quarter-end, we had approximately $894 million of cash, $1,749 million of total debt, and $855 million of net debt.

PBF's initial turnaround planning guidance for 2026 included five major turnarounds across our system. We completed the Torrance turnaround in the first quarter, and, after careful evaluation and safety inspections, we elected to move the scheduled Martinez second quarter hydrocracker complex turnaround to the end of the third quarter. Additionally, after further diligent review, we elected to move the planned fourth quarter turnarounds at both Chalmette and Toledo to 2027. During the second quarter, we performed unplanned work at Toledo which afforded us the opportunity to safely extend the run-time for our FCC complex. As a result, we are reducing our 2026 capital expenditure guidance to $825-$875 million for the year, excluding capital related to the Martinez rebuild.

Timing of planned maintenance and throughput ranges provided reflect current expectations and are subject to change based on market conditions and other factors. Current throughput expectations are included in the table below.

Guidance provided constitutes forward-looking information and is based on current PBF Energy operating plans, company assumptions, and company configuration. Year-to-date actual throughput and quarterly guidance should be used to adjust full-year expectations. All figures and timelines are subject to change based on a variety of factors, including market and macroeconomic factors, as well as company strategic decision-making and overall company performance.

Renewable Diesel
St. Bernard Renewables LLC ("SBR") averaged approximately 15,100 barrels per day of renewable diesel production in the second quarter, reflecting the impact of a catalyst change completed in April 2026. Renewable diesel production for the third quarter is expected to average approximately 18,000 to 20,000 barrels per day.

Adjusted Fully-Converted Results
Adjusted fully-converted results assume the exchange of all PBF Energy Company LLC Series A Units and dilutive securities into shares of PBF Energy Inc. Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis, resulting in the elimination of the noncontrolling interest and a corresponding adjustment to the company's tax provision. 

Non-GAAP Measures 
This earnings release, and the discussion during the management conference call, may include references to Non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) measures including Adjusted Fully-Converted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted Fully-Converted Net Income (Loss) excluding special items, Adjusted Fully-Converted Net Income (Loss) per fully-exchanged, fully-diluted share, Income (Loss) from operations excluding special items, gross refining margin, gross refining margin excluding special items, gross refining margin per barrel of throughput, EBITDA (Earnings before Interest, Income Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization), EBITDA excluding special items, Adjusted EBITDA, net debt, net debt to capitalization ratio and net debt to capitalization ratio excluding special items. PBF believes that Non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information about its operating performance and financial results. However, these measures have important limitations as analytical tools and should not be viewed in isolation or considered as alternatives for, or superior to, comparable GAAP financial measures. PBF's Non-GAAP financial measures may also differ from similarly named measures used by other companies.

See the accompanying tables and footnotes in this release for additional information on the Non-GAAP measures used in this release and reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.

EARNINGS RELEASE TABLES

FOOTNOTES TO EARNINGS RELEASE TABLES

(1) Adjusted fully-converted information is presented in this table as management believes that these Non-GAAP measures, when presented in conjunction with comparable GAAP measures, are useful to investors to compare our results across the periods presented and facilitate an understanding of our operating results. We also use these measures to evaluate our operating performance. These measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. The differences between adjusted fully-converted and GAAP results are explained in footnotes 2 through 6.

(2) Represents the elimination of the noncontrolling interest associated with the ownership by the members of PBF Energy Company LLC ("PBF LLC") other than PBF Energy Inc. ("PBF Energy"), as if such members had fully exchanged their PBF LLC Series A Units for shares of PBF Energy Class A common stock.

(3) Represents an adjustment to reflect PBF Energy's estimated annualized statutory corporate tax rate of approximately 26.0% for both the 2026 and 2025 periods, applied to net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interest for all periods presented. The adjustment assumes the full exchange of existing PBF LLC Series A Units as described in footnote 2.

(4) The Non-GAAP measures presented include adjusted fully-converted net income (loss) excluding special items, income (loss) from operations excluding special items, EBITDA excluding special items, and gross refining margin excluding special items. Special items for the periods presented relate to LCM inventory adjustment, our share of the SBR LCM inventory adjustment, expenses associated with the Martinez refinery fire, gain on insurance recoveries, costs related to RBI initiative, and loss on extinguishment of debt, all as discussed further below. Additionally, the cumulative effects of all current and prior period special items on equity are shown in footnote 14.

Although we believe that Non-GAAP financial measures excluding the impact of special items provide useful supplemental information to investors regarding the results and performance of our business and allow for useful period-over-period comparisons, such Non-GAAP measures should only be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Special Items:

LCM inventory adjustment - LCM is a GAAP requirement for inventory valuation that mandates inventory to be stated at the lower of cost or market. Our inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market with cost determined using the last-in, first-out ("LIFO") inventory valuation methodology, under which the most recently incurred costs are charged to cost of sales and inventories are valued at base layer acquisition costs. Market price is determined based on an assessment of the current estimated replacement cost and net realizable selling price of the inventory. When the market price of our inventory declines substantially, cost values of inventory may exceed market values. In such instances, we record an adjustment to write down the value of inventory to market value in accordance with GAAP. In subsequent periods, the value of inventory is reassessed and an LCM inventory adjustment is recorded to reflect the net change in the LCM inventory reserve between periods. The net impact of these LCM inventory adjustments is included in the Refining segment's income from operations, but excluded from the operating results presented, as applicable, to ensure comparability between periods.

PBF Energy LCM inventory adjustment - During the six months ended June 30, 2026, we reversed the $313.0 million LCM inventory reserve recorded at December 31, 2025. This reversal increased income from operations and net income by $313.0 million and $231.6 million, respectively, and resulted in no LCM inventory reserve at June 30, 2026. There were no such adjustments in any of the other periods presented.

SBR LCM inventory adjustment - During the six months ended June 30, 2026, SBR reversed the $18.8 million LCM inventory reserve recorded at December 31, 2025. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, SBR recorded adjustments to value its inventory to the LCM which increased its income from operations by $15.9 million and $33.3 million, respectively. Our Equity loss in investee reflects our 50% share of these adjustments. Accordingly, for the six months ended June 30, 2026, the reversal increased our income from operations and net income by $9.4 million and $7.0 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, these LCM adjustments increased our income from operations by $8.0 million and $16.7 million, respectively ($5.9 million and $12.4 million, respectively, net of tax). There were no such adjustments during the three months ended June 30, 2026.

Martinez refinery fire expenses - During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, we recorded operating expenses associated with the Martinez refinery fire that decreased income from operations by $22.7 million and $34.2 million, respectively ($16.8 million and $25.3 million, respectively, net of tax). During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, we recorded operating expenses associated with the Martinez refinery fire that decreased income from operations by $30.4 million and $108.5 million, respectively ($22.5 million and $80.3 million, respectively, net of tax).

Gain on insurance recoveries, net - During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, we recorded gains on insurance recoveries associated with the Martinez refinery fire that increased income from operations by $250.0 million and $356.5 million, respectively ($185.0 million and $263.8 million, respectively, net of tax). During both the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, we recorded a gain on insurance recoveries associated with the Martinez refinery fire that increased income from operations and net income by $189.0 million and $139.9 million, respectively.

Costs related to RBI initiative - During the second quarter of 2025, we launched our RBI initiative as part of our ongoing strategic efforts to extract incremental value across our business. As a result, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, we recorded expenses related to the execution of this initiative that decreased income from operations by $9.2 million and $18.6 million, respectively ($6.8 million and $13.8 million, respectively, net of tax). For both the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, we recorded expenses related to the execution of this initiative that decreased income from operations and net income by $13.6 million and $10.1 million, respectively. These charges are included within General and administrative expenses.

Loss on extinguishment of debt - During both the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, we recorded a pre-tax loss on extinguishment of debt related to the redemption of our 2028 6.00% Senior Notes, which decreased income before income taxes and net income by $2.2 million and $1.6 million, respectively. There were no such adjustments in any of the other periods presented.

Recomputed income tax on special items - The income tax impact on these special items is calculated using the tax rates shown in (3) above.

(5) Represents an adjustment to weighted-average diluted shares outstanding to assume the full exchange of existing PBF LLC Series A Units as described in footnote 2.

(6) Represents weighted-average diluted shares outstanding assuming the conversion of all common stock equivalents, including options and warrants for PBF LLC Series A Units and performance share units and options for shares of PBF Energy Class A common stock as calculated under the treasury stock method (to the extent the impact of such exchange would not be anti-dilutive) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Common stock equivalents exclude the effects of performance share units, options, and warrants to purchase 876,069 shares of PBF Energy Class A common stock and PBF LLC Series A Units because they are anti-dilutive for the six months ended June 30, 2026 (compared with 7,023,756 and 6,834,426 shares for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively). For periods showing a net loss, all common stock equivalents and unvested restricted stock are considered anti-dilutive.

(7) Earnings before Interest, Income Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA") and Adjusted EBITDA are supplemental measures of performance that are not required by, or presented in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA before adjustments for items such as stock-based compensation expense, our share of SBR interest, depreciation, and amortization expense, LCM inventory adjustment, our share of the SBR LCM inventory adjustment, expenses associated with the Martinez refinery fire, gain on insurance recoveries, costs related to RBI initiative, loss on extinguishment of debt, and certain other non-cash items. We use these Non-GAAP financial measures as a supplement to our GAAP results in order to provide additional metrics on factors and trends affecting our business. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are measures of operating performance that are not defined by GAAP and should not be considered substitutes for net income as determined in accordance with GAAP. In addition, because EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not calculated in the same manner by all companies, they are not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have their limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider them in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP.

For the periods ending June 30, 2026, our share of SBR interest, depreciation, and amortization expense, recorded within Equity loss in investee in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, is treated as an adjustment to EBITDA. Prior-period amounts in the table above has been conformed to the 2026 presentation.

(8) We operate in two reportable segments: Refining and Logistics. Our operations that are not included in the Refining and Logistics segments are included in Corporate. As of June 30, 2026, the Refining segment includes the operations of our oil refineries and related facilities in Delaware City, Delaware, Paulsboro, New Jersey, Toledo, Ohio, Chalmette, Louisiana, Torrance, California and Martinez, California. The Logistics segment includes the operations of PBF Logistics LP ("PBFX"), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of PBF Energy and PBF LLC, which owns or leases, operates, develops, and acquires crude oil and refined petroleum products terminals, pipelines, storage facilities and similar logistics assets. PBFX's assets primarily consist of rail and truck terminals and unloading racks, storage facilities and pipelines, a substantial portion of which were acquired from or contributed by PBF LLC and are located at, or nearby, our refineries. PBFX provides various rail, truck and marine terminaling services, pipeline transportation services and storage services to PBF Holding and/or its subsidiaries and third party customers through fee-based commercial agreements.

PBFX currently does not generate significant third party revenue and intersegment related-party revenues are eliminated in consolidation. From a PBF Energy perspective, our chief operating decision maker evaluates the Logistics segment as a whole without regard to any of PBFX's individual operating segments.

(9) Our market indicators table summarizes certain market indicators relating to our operating results as reported by Platts, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies.

(10) Gross refining margin and gross refining margin per barrel of throughput are Non-GAAP measures because they exclude refining operating expenses, depreciation and amortization and gross margin of the Logistics segment. Gross refining margin per barrel is gross refining margin, divided by total crude and feedstocks throughput. We believe they are important measures of operating performance and provide useful information to investors because gross refining margin per barrel is a helpful metric comparison to the industry refining margin benchmarks shown in the Market Indicators Tables, as such benchmarks do not include a charge for refinery operating expenses and depreciation. Other companies in our industry may not calculate gross refining margin and gross refining margin per barrel in the same manner. Gross refining margin and gross refining margin per barrel of throughput have their limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider them in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP.

(11) Represents refining operating expenses, including corporate-owned logistics assets, excluding depreciation and amortization, divided by total crude oil and feedstocks throughput.

(12) Refining operating expenses per barrel at the regional level exclude the impact of nonpermanent loss adjusted excess  insurance premium costs.

(13) We define heavy crude oil as crude oil with American Petroleum Institute ("API") gravity less than 24 degrees. We define medium crude oil as crude oil with API gravity between 24 and 35 degrees. We define light crude oil as crude oil with API gravity higher than 35 degrees.

(14) The total debt to capitalization ratio is calculated by dividing total debt by the sum of total debt and total equity. This ratio is a measurement that management believes is useful to investors in analyzing our leverage. Net debt and the net debt to capitalization ratio are Non-GAAP measures and should not be considered an alternative to any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. Net debt is calculated by subtracting cash and cash equivalents from total debt. We believe these measurements are also useful to investors since we have the ability to and may decide to use a portion of our cash and cash equivalents to retire or pay down our debt. Additionally, we have also presented the total debt to capitalization and net debt to capitalization ratios excluding the cumulative effects of special items on equity.

, /PRNewswire/ -- Check Point® Software Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ: CHKP), a pioneer and global leader of cyber security solutions, today announced the Check Point AI Network Firewall, delivered as part of Check Point firewall software release R82.20. AI has introduced a new class of network traffic — prompts, autonomous agent actions, and sensitive business context — that traditional firewalls were never designed to see or secure. The AI Network Firewall closes that gap from the Check Point firewall organizations already run, delivered through Check Point's AI Defense Plane with no new infrastructure and no rearchitecting.

"AI is transforming the enterprise network, and with the AI Network Firewall, we are transforming the firewall to secure it," said Nataly Kremer, Chief Product Officer at Check Point. "The network is where every prompt, model call, and agent interaction already converges, yet traditional firewalls were never built to see or govern that activity. By bringing AI security into the firewall organizations already run, we give security teams the visibility and control to enable AI adoption safely, in real time."

The exposure is already universal. Check Point Research's AI Security Report 2026 found that between 87% and 93% of organizations experience at least one high-risk generative-AI interaction every month and the share of prompts carrying sensitive corporate, personal, or regulated data doubled in a year to one in every 25 interactions. Organizations are adopting AI faster than they can govern it, and the activity that needs governing is already moving across the network.

"Organizations are challenged to deploy dedicated AI security solutions, which are additive to their existing security architecture – contributing to the sprawl of dis-jointed, siloed security tools and agents," said Pete Finalle, Research Manager, Trusted Access and Network Security at IDC. "While rare, the native integration of AI security across existing enforcement points, provides improvements to visibility, telemetry effectiveness, security posture, and management simplicity."

Turning existing firewalls into immediate AI protection

Unlike alternatives that require a separate virtual firewall deployed alongside existing infrastructure, Check Point delivers this protection directly from the physical or virtual firewalls customers already operate and scales across branches, data centers, cloud, and multi-cloud environments. For Check Point firewall customers, the AI Network Firewall turns existing firewall investments into immediate AI protection across three domains:

Employee AI use: Discover AI apps, agents, and tools in use — both shadow and sanctioned — gain visibility into how AI is being used and prompt use-cases and intents, govern access to safe and sanctioned tools, and stop sensitive data from leaving the network based on the prompt's use case. Check Point Research found organizations now run an average of ten AI applications per month, many outside any formal process AI Tools (MCP): Discover Model Context Protocol (MCP) communication, gain full visibility into servers and used tools, and enforce policies to control access across every interaction. Check Point Research found security weaknesses in 40% of 10,000 MCP servers reviewed AI Application and LLM: Prevent prompt injection and adversarial inputs, blocking malicious prompts before they reach the LLM. This happens inline, with no application changes required. Check Point Research identified 15,300 indirect-injection payloads planted in public web pages, roughly 70% of them hidden in parts of the page no human ever sees Part of the AI Defense Plane: one architecture across the enterprise

The AI Network Firewall becomes part of Check Point's AI Defense Plane, a unified control plane for discovering, governing, and protecting AI across the network, endpoints, cloud, applications, and APIs. Together, the AI Defense Plane delivers:

Discovery, governance, and protection for AI across web, desktop, coding assistants, and AI agents Local AI agent discovery and control SaaS AI agent discovery and control Runtime protection and governance for AI applications Risk detection and guardrails to protect homegrown and deployed AI Additional enforcement points across the AI Defense Plane span standalone API for self-managed applications, endpoint for employees, containerized firewall for AI data centers, and WAF - giving organizations consistent AI security across public and private clouds, branch offices, remote users, and data centers.

Unified, agentic management across a hybrid, multi-vendor environment

Following the recent announcement of its agentic network security orchestration platform, Check Point is also extending central policy management to Check Point SASE and SD-WAN, with dynamic, always-accurate zero-trust policy enforcement across IT, OT, and micro-segmentation tools including Illumio and others:

One console manages on-premises firewalls, cloud firewalls, AWS native firewalls, SD-WAN, and SASE with consistent policy and a unified audit trail across every environment SD-WAN connectivity and security policy are managed together, ending the operational split that forces teams to juggle separate tools Open-platform integrations keep firewall rules current as the environment changes, without manual reconciliation "Policy alone will not solve shadow AI. Employees will continue using AI tools to move faster, often before security teams know those tools are present," said Chris Konrad, Vice President, Global Cyber at WWT. "Organizations need to understand which AI applications, agents, and MCP servers are interacting with their environment, and they must have the means to intercept or block unauthorized traffic. Integrating both AI visibility and active enforcement into the enterprise firewall is a practical approach because it builds on infrastructure organizations already operate and trust. That gives teams a control point to govern usage and reduce risk without slowing innovation."

Cash Balances, Marketable Securities & Short-Term Deposits: $4,203 million as of June 30, 2026, compared to $2,913 million as of June 30, 2025. The increase in cash is primarily a result of the $1.8 billion proceeds from our $2 billion convertible senior notes offering net of issuance costs and net of purchased capped calls.
Cash Flow: Cash flow from operations in the second quarter of 2026 was $170 million, which included $14 million in benefit related to our currency hedging transactions, while acquisition-related costs were insignificant. This compares to $262 million in the second quarter of 2025, which included $50 million in benefit related to our currency hedging transactions, while acquisition-related costs were $6 million.
Share Repurchase Program: During the second quarter of 2026, the company re-purchased approximately 2.5 million shares at a total cost of approximately $325 million. On May 11, 2026, the company announced that the board of directors authorized a $2 billion expansion of the company's on-going share repurchase program.
R&D Grants: During the second quarter of 2026, the company recognized a $28 million reduction in research and development expenses under Israel's new R&D tax incentive program. The new Israeli law enacted on March 30, 2026, as part of the 2026 budget, provides tax incentives for research and development activities carried out in Israel. Eligible Israeli companies within multinational groups can receive tax credits for qualifying R&D expenses, which may be used to offset corporate taxes or minimum top-up tax, and unused credits may be converted into cash grants after a defined period.

Rocket Lab získal tři starty pro iQPS

FMP Stock News 86
Original source text
LONG BEACH, Calif., July 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Rocket Lab Corporation (Nasdaq: RKLB), a global leader in launch services and space systems, today announced that a multi-launch deal has been signed with Institute for Q-shu Pioneers of Space, Inc (“iQPS”) for three new dedicated launches on Electron.

This contract is the third multi-launch booking on Electron by iQPS announced in less than a year – bringing the total number of launches booked to 18 and further solidifying Electron’s position as the world’s most sought-after small-lift launch vehicle.

These three new dedicated launches for iQPS are scheduled to take place from Rocket Lab Launch Complex 1 from late 2027. Each mission will deploy a single QPS-SAR satellite to a 575km low Earth orbit that will continue the build out of iQPS’ Earth-imaging constellation using synthetic aperture radar: a technology that enables images to be created from radio wave measurements and allows data to be collected during any time of day and under any weather conditions.

Rocket Lab’s own satellite separation system called the Motorized Lightband has also been purchased for all iQPS missions, streamlining the company’s access to space with reduced scheduling risk.

Placing satellites within a constellation already on orbit is exactly the challenge Electron was created to solve. As iQPS’ primary launch provider, Electron has deployed seven QPS-SAR satellites to space with 100% mission success since 2023, each time with the reliability and precision that satellite operators have come to expect from Electron. This latest deal provides iQPS with the security of regular launch slots for their constellation as demand for Electron launches reaches record heights.

Consequently, Expected Revenue Days represent the total number of days the vessel is expected to be available to earn revenue. Idle days, which are days when a vessel is available to earn revenue, yet is not employed, are included in Expected Revenue days. The Company uses Expected Revenue days to show changes in net vessel revenues between periods.

Securities Repurchase Program

In April 2026, the Company repurchased 1,344,809 shares of its common stock, concurrently with the closing of the initial $375.0 million principal amount of Convertible Notes in privately negotiated transactions at $74.36 per share.

On May 4, 2026, the Board of Directors replenished and increased the 2023 Securities Repurchase Program to purchase up to an aggregate of $500.0 million of the Company’s securities, which currently include its common stock and Convertible Notes. This resets the program which had been previously replenished on July 29, 2024.

On May 7, 2026, the Company repurchased 649,427 shares of its common stock, concurrently with the closing of the issuance of $230.0 million principal amount of Convertible Notes in privately negotiated transactions at $84.69 per share.

As of July 30, 2026, $445.0 million remains available under the Company's 2023 Securities Repurchase Program.

Diluted Weighted Number of Shares

The computation of earnings per share is determined by taking into consideration the potentially dilutive shares arising from (i) the Company’s equity incentive plan, and (ii) the Company's Convertible Notes. Potentially dilutive shares are excluded from the computation of earnings per share to the extent they are anti-dilutive.

The impact of the Convertible Notes on earnings or loss per share is computed using the if-converted method. Under this method, the Company first includes the potentially dilutive impact of restricted shares issued under the Company's equity incentive plan, and then assumes that its Convertible Notes, which were issued during the second quarter of 2026, were converted into common shares during each period. The if-converted method also assumes that the interest and non-cash amortization expense associated with these notes of $7.0 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 were not incurred. Conversion is not assumed if the results of this calculation are anti-dilutive.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company’s basic weighted average number of shares outstanding were 45,730,028 and 46,457,406, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company’s diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding were 53,539,590 and 51,928,585, respectively, which included the potentially dilutive impact of restricted shares issued under the Company’s equity incentive plan and shares arising from the Company's Convertible Notes if converted.

Diluted earnings per share for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 were calculated under the if-converted method.

In June 2026, the Company repaid the remaining outstanding balance and terminated the facility.

(2) In May 2026, the Company repaid the remaining outstanding balance and terminated the facility.

(3) In June 2026, the Company repaid the remaining outstanding balance and terminated the facility.

(4) During the second quarter of 2026, the Company executed its previously announced 2026 $50.0 Million Credit Facility with Bank of America. This facility was drawn in full and two 2015 built LR2 product tankers, STI Rose and STI Alexis, were placed as collateral. The credit facility has a final maturity of seven years from the drawdown date of each vessel and bears interest at SOFR plus a margin of 1.20% per annum.

(5) In June 2026, the Company issued a redemption notice to redeem its Unsecured Senior Notes Due 2030. The notes were redeemed in July 2026 at a make-whole price of 106.4 to par ($212.8 million) plus accrued but unpaid interest. The make-whole premium of $12.8 million was recorded as a debt extinguishment cost during the second quarter of 2026.

(6) In the second quarter of 2026, the Company issued $605.0 million aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes. The Convertible Notes were issued in two separate transactions of aggregate principal amounts $375.0 million and $230.0 million in April and May 2026, respectively. The issuance in May 2026 was executed at a price of 110.25 to par for $253.6 million in gross proceeds and resulted in a combined yield to maturity on both issuances of below one percent. The Convertible Notes are scheduled to mature on April 15, 2031, unless earlier converted, repurchased, or redeemed.

Prior to January 15, 2031, the Convertible Notes are convertible at the option of the holders only under certain circumstances and during certain periods. On or after January 15, 2031, holders may convert their Convertible Notes at any time at their election until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date. Upon conversion, the Convertible Notes may be settled at the Company’s election, in cash, shares of the Company’s common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of common stock. The initial conversion rate for each $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes is 9.9615 shares of common stock, equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $100.39 per share. The conversion rate and conversion price will be subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events.

The Convertible Notes are redeemable, in whole or in part (subject to certain limitations), for cash at the Company’s option at any time, and from time to time, on or after April 20, 2029 and on or before the 41st scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date, if the last reported sale price per share of the Company’s common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price for a specified period of time and certain other conditions are satisfied. In addition, the Company has the right to redeem all, but not less than all, of the Convertible Notes if certain changes in tax law occur and certain other conditions are satisfied. Except as described in the two immediately preceding sentences, the Convertible Notes will not be redeemable at the Company’s option prior to the maturity date. The redemption price will be equal to the principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, up to, but excluding, the redemption date.

Set forth below are the estimated expected future principal repayments on the Company's outstanding indebtedness, which includes principal amounts due under the Company's secured credit facilities, Unsecured Senior Notes Due 2030 and Convertible Notes (which also include actual scheduled payments made from July 1, 2026 through July 28, 2026):

Explanation of Variances on the Second Quarter of 2026 Financial Results Compared to the Second Quarter of 2025

For the three months ended June 30, 2026, the Company recorded net income of $387.5 million compared to net income of $73.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The following were the significant changes between the two periods:

TCE revenue, a Non-IFRS measure, is vessel revenues less voyage expenses (including bunkers and port charges). TCE revenue is included herein because it is a standard shipping industry performance measure used primarily to compare period-to-period changes in a shipping company's performance irrespective of changes in the mix of charter types (i.e., spot voyages, time charters, and pool charters), and it provides useful information to investors and management. The following table sets forth TCE revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2026, and 2025:    For the three months ended June 30,In thousands of U.S. dollars  2026   2025  Vessel revenue $408,734  $230,225  Voyage expenses  (16,934)  (7,461) TCE revenue $391,800  $222,764            TCE revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2026 increased by $169.0 million to $391.8 million, from $222.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 despite the average number of vessels decreasing to 84.5 during the three months ended June 30, 2026 from 99.0 during the three months ended June 30, 2025. Overall, the average daily TCE revenue increased to $52,661 per vessel during the three months ended June 30, 2026, from $25,569 per vessel during the three months ended June 30, 2025. TCE revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2026 increased as compared to the same period in the previous year reflecting a significantly stronger product tanker market in the three months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025. The three months ended June 30, 2026 were impacted by the conflict in the Middle East. Initially the disruptions stemming from the conflict caused daily spot TCE rates to spike to record levels as exports through the Strait of Hormuz ground to a halt and barrels had to be sourced from more distant markets, causing the global fleet to reposition to accommodate new trading patterns. As the quarter progressed, these initial disruptions gave way to an environment marked by lower export volumes and a repositioned global fleet. Consequently, daily spot TCE rates trended down from record highs towards the end of the quarter. Nevertheless, longer voyage distances from these new trade routes mitigated the impact of lower export volumes through the Strait of Hormuz, and kept daily spot TCE rates elevated as compared to the same quarter in the previous year.

Vessel operating costs for the three months ended June 30, 2026 decreased by $3.9 million to $64.8 million, from $68.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 due to a decrease in the average number of vessels, resulting from the sale of 11 MRs and nine LR2s since June 30, 2025. Vessel operating costs increased to $8,394 per vessel per day for the three months ended June 30, 2026 from $7,630 per vessel per day for the three months ended June 30, 2025 primarily due to higher repairs and maintenance and spares and stores expenses on LR2 and MR vessels, as well as the timing of certain expenses. Additionally, the repositioning and new trade routes that emerged as a result of the conflict in the Middle East led to increased vessel operating expenses as supply chains recalibrated.Depreciation expense for the three months ended June 30, 2026 decreased by $9.1 million to $36.2 million, from $45.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. This decrease resulted from 25 vessels either being sold or classified as held for sale since June 30, 2025.General and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2026 increased by $16.9 million to $46.6 million, from $29.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 primarily due to an increase in compensation related costs.Financial expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2026 increased by $14.8 million to $36.1 million, from $21.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, as a result $20.2 million of debt extinguishment costs and write-offs of deferred financing fees associated with the repayment of $389.1 million of secured debt and the $12.8 million make-whole premium associated with the redemption of the Unsecured Senior Notes due 2030 (compared to $1.8 million during the prior year period). Excluding the debt extinguishment costs and write-offs of deferred financing fees, our financial expense decreased by $3.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025. While our average debt remained consistent at $950.4 million compared to $946.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025, respectively, our average cost of debt decreased due to the change in the composition of debt resulting from the issuance of the Convertible Notes and the repayment of our secured credit facilities. In addition, $1.3 million of interest was capitalized related to the installments paid on vessels under construction during the three months ended June 30, 2026.

Amortization of deferred financing fees was $1.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2026 and $1.8 million during the three months ended June 30, 2025.

Dividend income and fair value gain (loss) on financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss, net for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was a gain of $9.3 million, consisting of a fair value gain of $7.5 million and $1.7 million of dividends related to our investment in DHT Holdings Inc., which was sold in the fourth quarter of 2025.Fair value gain on financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss represents the change in the fair value of the embedded conversion derivative associated with our Convertible Notes since issuance. The embedded derivative is measured at fair value at each reporting date, with changes in fair value recognized in profit or loss in accordance with IFRS.Other income and (expenses), net include $4.0 million of transaction costs related to the issuance of the Convertible Notes during the three months ended June 30, 2026. Under IFRS, transaction costs incurred as part of a convertible financial instrument are apportioned to the conversion feature and to the underlying debt host. The costs apportioned to the conversion feature, accounted for as a derivative liability, are expensed upon issuance. The costs apportioned to the underlying debt host are recorded as part of the financial liability and amortized over the term of the instrument.    Scorpio Tankers Inc. and Subsidiaries

Revenue days are the number of days vessels are part of the fleet less the number of days vessels are off-hire for drydock and repairs. For bareboat chartered-out vessels, the charterers are responsible for the vessel operating costs.

  (3)Vessel operating costs per day represent vessel operating costs divided by the number of operating days during the period. Operating days are the total number of available days in a period with respect to vessels that are owned, operating under a lease financing arrangement, or bareboat chartered-in, before deducting available days due to off-hire days and days in drydock. Operating days is a measurement that is only applicable to vessels that are owned, operating under a lease financing arrangement, or bareboat chartered-in, not time chartered-in vessels.   Fleet list as of July 28, 2026

Non-IFRS Measures

Reconciliation of IFRS Financial Information to Non-IFRS Financial Information

This press release describes time charter equivalent revenue, or TCE revenue, adjusted net income or loss, and adjusted EBITDA, which are not measures prepared in accordance with IFRS ("Non-IFRS" measures). The Non-IFRS measures are presented in this press release as we believe that they provide investors and other users of our financial statements, such as our lenders, with a means of evaluating and understanding how the Company's management evaluates the Company's operating performance. These Non-IFRS measures should not be considered in isolation from, as substitutes for, or superior to financial measures prepared in accordance with IFRS.

The Company believes that the presentation of TCE revenue, adjusted net income or loss with adjusted earnings or loss per share, basic and diluted, and adjusted EBITDA are useful to investors or other users of our financial statements, such as our lenders, because they facilitate the comparability and the evaluation of companies in the Company’s industry. In addition, the Company believes that TCE revenue, adjusted net income or loss with adjusted earnings or loss per share, basic and diluted, and adjusted EBITDA are useful in evaluating its operating performance compared to that of other companies in the Company’s industry. The Company’s definitions of TCE revenue, adjusted net income or loss with adjusted earnings or loss per share, basic and diluted, and adjusted EBITDA may not be the same as reported by other companies in the shipping industry or other industries.

TCE revenue, on a historical basis, is reconciled above in the section entitled "Explanation of Variances on the Second Quarter of 2026 Financial Results Compared to the Second Quarter of 2025". The Company has not provided a reconciliation of forward-looking TCE revenue because the most directly comparable IFRS measure on a forward-looking basis is not available to the Company without unreasonable effort.

Forward-Looking Statements

Matters discussed in this press release may constitute forward‐looking statements. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides safe harbor protections for forward‐looking statements in order to encourage companies to provide prospective information about their business. Forward‐looking statements include statements concerning plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events or performance, and underlying assumptions and other statements, which are other than statements of historical facts. The Company desires to take advantage of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and is including this cautionary statement in connection with this safe harbor legislation. The words "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "intend," "plan," "target," "project," "likely," "may," "will," "would," "could" and similar expressions identify forward‐looking statements.

The forward‐looking statements in this press release are based upon various assumptions, many of which are based, in turn, upon further assumptions, including without limitation, management’s examination of historical operating trends, data contained in the Company’s records and other data available from third parties. Although management believes that these assumptions were reasonable when made, because these assumptions are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies which are difficult or impossible to predict and are beyond the Company’s control, there can be no assurance that the Company will achieve or accomplish these expectations, beliefs or projections. The Company undertakes no obligation, and specifically declines any obligation, except as required by law, to publicly update or revise any forward‐looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

In addition to these important factors, other important factors that, in the Company’s view, could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward‐looking statements include unforeseen liabilities, future capital expenditures, revenues, expenses, earnings, synergies, economic performance, indebtedness, financial condition, losses, future prospects, expansion and growth of the Company’s operations, risks relating to the integration of assets or operations of entities that it has or may in the future acquire and the possibility that the anticipated synergies and other benefits of such acquisitions may not be realized within expected timeframes or at all, the failure of counterparties to fully perform their contracts with the Company, the strength of world economies and currencies, general market conditions, including fluctuations in charter rates and vessel values, changes in demand for tanker vessel capacity, changes in the Company’s operating expenses, including bunker prices, drydocking and insurance costs, the market for the Company’s vessels, availability of financing and refinancing, charter counterparty performance, ability to obtain financing and comply with covenants in such financing arrangements, changes in governmental rules and regulations or actions taken by regulatory authorities, the impact of the current and future sanctions that may impact the transportation of petroleum products, the ongoing military conflict in Iran which has had a significant direct and indirect impact on the trade of crude oil and refined petroleum products, potential disruption of shipping routes due to accidents or political events, potential liability from pending or future litigation, general domestic and international political conditions, which have and may continue to disrupt certain global shipping routes, vessel breakdowns and instances of off‐hires, and other factors. Please see the Company's filings with the SEC for a more complete discussion of certain of these and other risks and uncertainties.

Full-Year 2026 Outlook Raised On Both The Top- And Bottom-Line Crocs Brand Surpasses $1 Billion In Quarterly Revenue For The First Time Share Repurchase Authorization Increased By $1.5 Billion To Approximately $2 Billion , /PRNewswire/ -- Crocs, Inc. (NASDAQ: CROX), a world leader in innovative casual footwear for all, today announced its second quarter 2026 financial results.

"We are pleased to have delivered a stronger-than-expected second quarter, highlighted by record enterprise revenue, including the Crocs Brand surpassing $1 billion in quarterly revenue for the first time ever. Our results reflect broad consumer demand across both brands, healthy direct-to-consumer growth, and strong consumer response to new product innovation. Based on our strong first half performance, we are again raising our full-year top- and bottom-line guidance," said Andrew Rees, Chief Executive Officer.

Mr. Rees continued, "Supported by our strong cash flow generation, we remain committed to balancing investment in our brands with disciplined capital allocation, including share repurchase and debt paydown. Reflecting our confidence in the business and future cash-flow generation, we have expanded our share repurchase authorization as we aim to further return meaningful value to shareholders."

Amounts referred to as "Adjusted" or "Non-GAAP" are Non-GAAP measures and include adjustments that are described under the heading "Reconciliation of GAAP Measures to Non-GAAP Measures." A reconciliation of these amounts to their GAAP counterparts is contained in the schedules below.

Second Quarter 2026 Operating Results (Compared to the Same Period Last Year)

Consolidated revenues were $1,179 million, an increase of 2.6%, or 2.0% on a constant currency basis. Direct-to-consumer ("DTC") revenues grew 12.0%, or 11.3% on a constant currency basis. Wholesale revenues decreased 7.2%, or 7.6% on a constant currency basis. Gross margin was 59.4% compared to 61.7%. Adjusted gross margin decreased 170 basis points to 60.0% compared to 61.7%. Selling, general, and administrative expenses ("SG&A") of $415 million decreased 63.5% from $1,136 million, and represented 35.2% of revenues compared to 98.9%. The decrease in SG&A is largely driven by noncash impairment charges related to the indefinite-lived HEYDUDE trademark and HEYDUDE Brand reporting unit goodwill of $430 million and $307 million, respectively, during the three months ended June 30, 2025. Adjusted SG&A increased 3.1% to $412 million, and represented 34.9% of revenues compared to 34.7%. Income from operations of $286 million compared to loss from operations of $428 million resulted in operating margin of 24.2% compared to operating margin loss of 37.2%. The prior year loss from operations is driven by asset impairments, as described above. Adjusted income from operations of $296 million decreased 4.5% from $309 million, resulting in adjusted operating margin of 25.1% compared to 26.9%. Diluted earnings per share of $4.13 compared to diluted loss per share of $8.82. The prior year loss per share is driven by asset impairments, as described above. Adjusted diluted earnings per share of $4.55 increased 7.6% from $4.23. During the quarter, we repaid $31 million of debt.

CROCS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
RECONCILIATION OF GAAP MEASURES TO NON-GAAP MEASURES

In addition to financial measures presented on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"), we present "Non-GAAP gross profit," "Non-GAAP gross margin," "Non-GAAP gross margin by brand," "Non-GAAP selling, general, and administrative expenses," "Non-GAAP selling, general and administrative expenses as a percent of revenues," "Non-GAAP income from operations," "Non-GAAP operating margin," "Non-GAAP income before income taxes," "Non-GAAP income tax expense," "Non-GAAP effective tax rate," "Non-GAAP net income," and "Non-GAAP basic and diluted net income per common share," which are non-GAAP financial measures. We also present future period guidance for "Non-GAAP operating margin," "Non-GAAP effective tax rate," "Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share," and "Free cash flow." We also present a long-term target for 'Net leverage.' Non-GAAP results exclude the impact of items that management believes affect the comparability or underlying business trends in our condensed consolidated financial statements in the periods presented.

We also present certain information related to our current period results of operations through "constant currency," which is a non-GAAP financial measure and should be viewed as a supplement to our results of operations and presentation of reportable segments under GAAP. Constant currency represents current period results that have been retranslated using exchange rates used in the prior year comparative period to enhance the visibility of the underlying business trends excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.

Management uses non-GAAP results to assist in comparing business trends from period to period on a consistent basis in communications with the board of directors, stockholders, analysts, and investors concerning our financial performance. We believe that these non-GAAP measures, in addition to corresponding GAAP measures, are useful to investors and other users of our condensed consolidated financial statements as an additional tool for evaluating operating performance and trends by providing meaningful information about operations compared to our peers by excluding the impacts of various differences. The calculation of our non-GAAP financial metrics may vary from company to company. As a result, our calculation of these metrics may not be comparable to similarly titled metrics used by other companies.

Management believes Non-GAAP gross profit, Non-GAAP gross margin, and Non-GAAP gross margin by brand are useful performance measures for investors because they provide investors with a means of comparing these measures between periods without the impact of certain expenses that we believe are not indicative of our routine cost of sales. Our routine cost of sales includes core product costs and distribution expenses primarily related to receiving, inspecting, warehousing, and packaging product and transportation costs associated with delivering products from distribution centers. Costs not indicative of our routine cost of sales may or may not be recurring in nature and include costs to expand and transition to new distribution centers.

Management believes Non-GAAP selling, general and administrative expenses and Non-GAAP selling, general and administrative expenses as a percent of revenues are useful performance measures for investors because they provide a more meaningful comparison to prior periods and may be indicative of the level of such expenses to be incurred in future periods. These measures exclude the impact of certain expenses not related to our normal operations that are expected to be non-recurring in nature, such as impairment charges.

Non-GAAP income from operations and Non-GAAP operating margin reflect the impact of Non-GAAP gross profit and Non-GAAP selling, general, and administrative expenses, as discussed above. We believe these are useful performance measures for investors because they provide a basis to compare performance in the period to prior periods.

Non-GAAP income before income taxes reflects the impact of Non-GAAP income from operations, as discussed above. We believe this is a useful performance measure for investors because it provides a basis to compare performance in the period to prior periods.

Management believes Non-GAAP income tax expense is a useful performance measure for investors because it provides a basis to compare our tax rates to historical tax rates, and because the adjustment is necessary in order to calculate Non-GAAP net income.

Management believes Non-GAAP effective tax rate is a useful performance measure for investors because it provides an ongoing effective tax rate that they can use for historical comparisons and forecasting.

Management believes Non-GAAP net income is a useful performance measure for investors because it focuses on underlying operating results and trends and improves the comparability of our results to prior periods. This measure reflects the impact of Non-GAAP gross profit, Non-GAAP selling, general, and administrative expenses, and Non-GAAP income tax expense, as described above.

Management believes Non-GAAP basic and diluted net income per common share are useful performance measures for investors because they focus on underlying operating results and trends and improve the comparability of our results to prior periods. These measures reflect the impact of Non-GAAP gross profit, Non-GAAP selling, general, and administrative expenses, and Non-GAAP income tax expense, as described above.

Management believes Net leverage is a useful performance measure for investors because it provides a measure of our financial strength and liquidity.

Free cash flow is calculated as 'Cash provided by operating activities' less 'Purchases of property, equipment, and software.' Management believes free cash flow is useful for investors because it provides a clear measure of our ability to generate cash for discretionary uses such as funding growth opportunities, repurchasing shares, and reducing debt.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, management believes it is helpful to evaluate our results excluding the impacts of various adjustments relating to special or non-recurring items. Investors should not consider these non-GAAP measures in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.

In the fourth quarter of 2024, and previously in 2023, 2021, and 2020, we made changes to our international legal structure, including an intra-entity transaction related to certain intellectual property rights, primarily to align with current and future international operations. The transactions resulted in a step-up in the tax basis of intellectual property rights and correlated increases in foreign deferred tax assets based on the fair value of the transferred intellectual property rights. This adjustment represents the current period impact of these transactions.

During 2026, we expect to incur approximately $25 million of non-GAAP adjustments, primarily associated with our cost reduction initiatives. This estimate does not include the receipt of potential IEEPA tariff refunds, as we are not able to predict the timing quarter-by-quarter. We plan to recognize IEEPA tariff refunds when they are realized or considered realizable, in accordance with the gain contingency model.

In the fourth quarter of 2024, and previously in 2023, 2021, and 2020, we made changes to our international legal structure, including an intra-entity transaction related to certain intellectual property rights, primarily to align with current and future international operations. The transactions resulted in a step-up in the tax basis of intellectual property rights and correlated increases in foreign deferred tax assets based on the fair value of the transferred intellectual property rights. This adjustment represents the full year 2026 impact of these transactions.

Non-GAAP Financial Guidance

Our forward-looking guidance for consolidated "adjusted operating margin" and "adjusted diluted earnings per share" represents non-GAAP financial measures that excludes or otherwise has been adjusted for special items from our U.S. GAAP financial statements. We consider these items to be necessary adjustments for purposes of evaluating our ongoing business performance and are often considered non-recurring. Such adjustments are subjective and involve significant management judgment.

While we are able to estimate full year non-GAAP adjustments, we are unable to reconcile forward-looking adjusted measures to their nearest U.S. GAAP measure quarter-by-quarter because we are unable to predict the timing of these adjustments with a reasonable degree of certainty. By their very nature, special and other non-core items are difficult to anticipate with precision because they are generally associated with unexpected and unplanned events that impact our company and its financial results. Therefore, we are unable to provide a reconciliation of these measures for the guidance related to the third quarter of 2026 without unreasonable efforts.

The segment discussion is on an organic basis.2See “WTW Non-GAAP Measures” below with respect to forward-looking non-GAAP measures.
Revenue was $2.47 billion for the second quarter of 2026, an increase of 9% compared to $2.26 billion for the same period in the prior year. Excluding the impact of foreign currency, revenue increased 8%. On an organic basis, revenue increased 5%. See Supplemental Segment Information for additional detail on book-of-business settlements and interest income included in revenue.

Net Income for the second quarter of 2026 was $231 million compared to $332 million in the prior-year second quarter. Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter was $529 million, or 21.5% of revenue, an increase of 13%, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $470 million, or 20.8% of revenue, in the prior-year second quarter. The U.S. GAAP tax rate for the second quarter was 19.8%, and the adjusted income tax rate for the second quarter used in calculating adjusted diluted earnings per share was 19.6%.

Cash Flow and Capital Allocation

Cash flows from operating activities were $474 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $326 million in the prior year. Free cash flow for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 was $360 million and $217 million, respectively, an increase of $143 million. The increase was primarily driven by operating margin expansion. During the quarter ended June 30, 2026, the Company repurchased 1,733,574 of its outstanding shares for $450 million.

Second Quarter 2026 Segment Highlights

Health, Wealth & Career (“HWC”)

As reported, USD millions, except %

Health, Wealth & CareerQ2-26Q2-25Y/Y ChangeTotal Revenue$1,270$1,180Reported 8% | CC 7% | Organic 4%Operating Income$306$2809%Operating Margin %24.1%23.8%30 bps
The HWC segment had revenue of $1.27 billion in the second quarter of 2026, an increase of 8% (7% increase constant currency and organic growth of 4%) from $1.18 billion in the prior year. Health delivered organic revenue growth with positive contributions from all regions. Wealth generated organic revenue growth supported by higher levels of retirement work across all regions. Career revenue was flat on an organic basis as increased levels of communications project work and broad-based pay work were offset by constrained revenue in the Middle East due to the ongoing conflict. Benefits Delivery & Outsourcing (BD&O) revenue increased organically as expanded project work, new client wins and regulatory driven work in Outsourcing were partially offset by lower commissions in Individual Marketplace.  

Operating margin in the HWC segment increased 30 basis points from the prior-year second quarter to 24.1%. The increase was primarily driven by improved operating leverage and expense discipline.

Risk & Broking (“R&B”)

As reported, USD millions, except %

Risk & BrokingQ2-26Q2-25Y/Y ChangeTotal Revenue$1,164$1,047Reported 11% | CC 10% | Organic 7%Operating Income$258$22216%Operating Margin %22.2%21.2%100 bps
The R&B segment had revenue of $1.16 billion in the second quarter of 2026, an increase of 11% (10% increase constant currency and organic growth of 7%) from $1.05 billion in the prior year. Corporate Risk & Broking (CRB) had organic revenue growth driven by new business activity and strong client retention globally. Insurance Consulting and Technology (ICT) delivered organic revenue growth primarily from strong software sales in the Technology practice.

Operating margin in the R&B segment increased 100 basis points from the prior-year second quarter to 22.2%. The increase was primarily driven by operating leverage.

Share Repurchase Program

Today, the Company announced that its Board of Directors approved an increase to the existing share repurchase authority in the amount of $1.5 billion. The $1.5 billion increase is in addition to the approximately $500 million remaining on the current open-ended repurchase authority. The Company is authorized to repurchase shares, by way of redemption or otherwise, and will consider whether to do so from time to time, based on many factors, including market and economic conditions, applicable legal requirements and other business considerations. 

Propel

Concurrent with its second quarter results, WTW announced Propel to embed artificial intelligence and automation across the enterprise, expected to be completed by the end of 2028. Supported by the Company's ongoing investments in AI, data and technology, including the acquisition of Newfront, Propel is expected to enhance client service and create additional opportunities for growth as well as streamline core operating processes. WTW expects these efforts to accelerate performance and enhance efficiency, reinforcing WTW's strengths.

The Company expects to invest approximately $625 million of cash and incur approximately $25 million in non-cash charges to generate approximately $400 million in run-rate savings, delivering a cash-cost-to-achieve ratio of approximately 1.6 times. After reinvesting approximately $50 million to support growth, the Company expects to deliver approximately $350 million in net run-rate savings and approximately 30% adjusted operating margin in 2028. The Company’s full-year 2026 guidance remains unchanged. Please refer to the most recent supplemental slides in the Investor Relations section of the Company's website for further details.

WTW Non-GAAP Measures

In order to assist readers of our consolidated financial statements in understanding the core operating results that WTW’s management uses to evaluate the business and for financial planning, we present the following non-GAAP measures: (1) Constant Currency Change, (2) Organic Change, (3) Adjusted Operating Income/Margin, (4) Adjusted EBITDA/Margin, (5) Adjusted Net Income, (6) Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share, (7) Adjusted Income Before Taxes, (8) Adjusted Income Taxes/Tax Rate, (9) Free Cash Flow and (10) Free Cash Flow Margin.

We believe that those measures are relevant and provide pertinent information widely used by analysts, investors and other interested parties in our industry to provide a baseline for evaluating and comparing our operating performance, and in the case of free cash flow, our liquidity results.

Within the measures referred to as ‘adjusted’, we adjust for significant items which will not be settled in cash, or which we believe to be items that are not core to our current or future operations. Some of these items may not be applicable for the current quarter, however they may be part of our full-year results. Additionally, we have historically adjusted for certain items which are not described below, but for which we may adjust in a future period when applicable. Items applicable to the quarter or full year results, or the comparable periods, include the following:

Transaction and integration expenses – Management believes it is appropriate to adjust for significant acquisition-related transaction and integration expenses including changes in significant estimated acquisition earnouts payable and acquisition-related compensation charges. We believe the adjustment is necessary to present how the Company is performing, both now and in the future when the incurrence of these costs will have concluded.Gains and losses on disposals of operations – Adjustment to remove the gains or losses resulting from disposed operations that have not been classified as discontinued operations.Net periodic pension and postretirement benefits – Adjustment to remove the recognition of net periodic pension and postretirement benefits (including pension settlements), other than service costs.
We evaluate our revenue on an as reported (U.S. GAAP), constant currency and organic basis. We believe presenting constant currency and organic information provides valuable supplemental information regarding our comparable results, consistent with how we evaluate our performance internally.

We consider Constant Currency Change, Organic Change, Adjusted Operating Income/Margin, Adjusted EBITDA/Margin, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share, Adjusted Income Before Taxes, Adjusted Income Taxes/Tax Rate and Free Cash Flow to be important financial measures, which are used to internally evaluate and assess our core operations and to benchmark our operating and liquidity results against our competitors. These non-GAAP measures are important in illustrating what our comparable operating and liquidity results would have been had we not incurred transaction-related and non-recurring items. Reconciliations of these measures are included in the accompanying tables with the following exception: The Company does not reconcile its forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the corresponding U.S. GAAP measures, due to variability and difficulty in making accurate forecasts and projections and/or certain information not being ascertainable or accessible; and because not all of the information, such as foreign currency impacts necessary for a quantitative reconciliation of these forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, is available to the Company without unreasonable efforts. For the same reasons, the Company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information. The Company provides non-GAAP financial measures that it believes will be achieved, however it cannot accurately predict all of the components of the adjusted calculations and the U.S. GAAP measures may be materially different than the non-GAAP measures.

Our non-GAAP measures and their accompanying definitions are presented as follows:

Constant Currency Change – Represents the year-over-year change in revenue excluding the impact of foreign currency fluctuations. To calculate this impact, the prior-year local currency results are first translated using the current year monthly average exchange rates. The change is calculated by comparing the prior year revenue, translated at the current year monthly average exchange rates, to the current year as reported revenue, for the same period. We believe constant currency measures provide useful information to investors because they provide transparency to performance by excluding the effects that foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations have on period-over-period comparability given volatility in foreign currency exchange markets.

Organic Change – Excludes the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, as described above and the period-over-period impact of acquisitions and divestitures on current-year revenue. We believe that excluding transaction-related items from our U.S. GAAP financial measures provides useful supplemental information to our investors, and it is important in illustrating what our core operating results would have been had we not included these transaction-related items, since the nature, size and number of these transaction-related items can vary from period to period.

Adjusted Operating Income/Margin – Income from operations adjusted for amortization, transaction and integration and non-recurring items that, in management’s judgment, significantly affect the period-over-period assessment of operating results. Adjusted operating income margin is calculated by dividing adjusted operating income by revenue. We consider adjusted operating income/margin to be important financial measures, which are used internally to evaluate and assess our core operations and to benchmark our operating results against our competitors.

Adjusted EBITDA/Margin – Net Income adjusted for provision for income taxes, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, transaction and integration, gains and losses on disposals of operations, net periodic pension and postretirement benefits, and non-recurring items that, in management’s judgment, significantly affect the period-over-period assessment of operating results. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is calculated by dividing adjusted EBITDA by revenue. We consider adjusted EBITDA/margin to be important financial measures, which are used internally to evaluate and assess our core operations, to benchmark our operating results against our competitors and to evaluate and measure our performance-based compensation plans.

Adjusted Net Income – Net Income Attributable to WTW adjusted for amortization, transaction and integration, gains and losses on disposals of operations, net periodic pension and postretirement benefits, and non-recurring items that, in management’s judgment, significantly affect the period-over-period assessment of operating results and the related tax effect of those adjustments and the tax effects of significant adjustments. This measure is used solely for the purpose of calculating adjusted diluted earnings per share.

Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share – Adjusted Net Income divided by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares, diluted. Adjusted diluted earnings per share is used to internally evaluate and assess our core operations and to benchmark our operating results against our competitors.

Adjusted Income Before Taxes – Income from operations before income taxes and interest in earnings of associates adjusted for amortization, transaction and integration, gains and losses on disposals of operations, net periodic pension and postretirement benefits, and non-recurring items that, in management’s judgment, significantly affect the period-over-period assessment of operating results. Adjusted income before taxes is used solely for the purpose of calculating the adjusted income tax rate.

Adjusted Income Taxes/Tax Rate – Provision for income taxes adjusted for taxes on certain items of amortization, transaction and integration, gains and losses on disposals of operations, net periodic pension and postretirement benefits, the tax effects of significant adjustments and non-recurring items that, in management’s judgment, significantly affect the period-over-period assessment of operating results, divided by adjusted income before taxes. Adjusted income taxes is used solely for the purpose of calculating the adjusted income tax rate. Management believes that the adjusted income tax rate presents a rate that is more closely aligned to the rate that we would incur if not for the reduction of pre-tax income for the adjusted items and the tax effects of significant adjustments, which are not core to our current and future operations.

Free Cash Flow – Cash flows from operating activities less cash used to purchase fixed assets and software. Management believes that free cash flow presents the core operating performance and cash-generating capabilities of our business operations.

Free Cash Flow Margin – Free Cash Flow as a percentage of revenue, which represents how much of revenue would be realized on a cash basis. We consider this measure to be a meaningful metric for tracking cash conversion on a year-over-year basis due to the non-cash nature of our pension income, which is included in our GAAP and Non-GAAP earnings metrics presented herein.

These non-GAAP measures are not defined in the same manner by all companies and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. Non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, the information contained within our condensed consolidated financial statements.

WTW Forward-Looking Statements

We have included in this document ‘forward-looking statements’ within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which are intended to be covered by the safe harbors created by those laws. These forward-looking statements include information about possible or assumed future results of our operations or certain considerations relating to our future results. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, that address activities, events or developments that we expect or anticipate may occur in the future, including such things as: our outlook; the potential impact of natural or man-made disasters like health pandemics and other world health crises; the impact of macroeconomic trends, including inflation, changes in interest rates, trade policies and other geopolitical risks; future capital expenditures; ongoing working capital efforts; future share repurchases; financial results (including our revenue, costs or margins) and the impact of changes to tax laws on our financial results; existing and evolving business strategies; our indebtedness; our ability to execute strategic transactions, including both acquisitions and dispositions, including our ability to receive adequate consideration or any earnout proceeds in return for any dispositions or integrate or manage acquired businesses (such as our recent acquisitions of Newfront Insurance Holdings, Inc. and Cushon) or effect internal reorganizations; demand for our services and competitive strengths; strategic goals; the benefits of new initiatives or investments in technology; growth of our business and operations; the sustained health of our product, service, transaction, client, and talent assessment and management pipelines; our ability to successfully manage ongoing leadership, organizational and technology changes, including investments in improving systems and processes; our ability to implement and realize anticipated benefits of any cost-savings or investment initiatives including our newly launched artificial intelligence acceleration plan (the ‘Plan’); our cybersecurity and privacy processes; our application of artificial intelligence technologies throughout our business and our ability to compete with artificial intelligence technologies offered by new or existing competitors; our ability to protect our intellectual property; our compliance with laws and regulations; risks associated with being an Irish-incorporated company; our recognition of future impairment charges; and plans and references to future successes, including our future financial and operating results, short-term and long-term financial goals, plans, objectives, expectations and intentions, including with respect to free cash flow generation, adjusted net income, adjusted operating margin and adjusted earnings per share, are forward-looking statements. Also, when we use words such as ‘may’, ‘will’, ‘would’, ‘anticipate’, ‘believe’, ‘estimate’, ‘expect’, ‘intend’, ‘plan’, ‘continues’, ‘seek’, ‘target’, ‘goal’, ‘focus’, ‘probably’, or similar expressions, we are making forward-looking statements. Such statements are based upon the current beliefs and expectations of the Company’s management and are subject to significant risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. All forward-looking disclosure is speculative by its nature.

There are important risks, uncertainties, events and factors that could cause our actual results or performance to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements contained in this document, including the following: our ability to successfully establish, execute and achieve our global business strategy as it evolves; our ability to fully realize the anticipated benefits of our growth strategy, including inorganic growth through acquisitions; our ability to achieve our short-term and long-term financial goals, such as with respect to our cash flow generation, and the timing with respect to such achievement; the risks related to changes in general economic conditions, business and political conditions, changes in the financial markets, inflation, credit availability, increased interest rates, changes in trade policies, increased tariffs and retaliatory actions; the risks to our short-term and long-term financial goals from any of the risks or uncertainties set forth herein; the risks relating to the adverse impacts of macroeconomic trends, including those relating to changes in trade policies and tariffs, as well as political events, war, such as the Russia-Ukraine war and conflict in the Middle East, and other international disputes, terrorism, natural disasters, public health issues and other business interruptions on the global economy and capital markets, such as uncertainty in the global markets, inflation, changes in interest rates and recessionary trends, changes in spending by government agencies and contractors, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and long-term goals; our ability to successfully hedge against fluctuations in foreign currency rates; the risks relating to the adverse impacts of natural or man-made disasters such as health pandemics and other world health crises on the demand for our products and services, our cash flows and our business operations; material interruptions to or loss of our information processing capabilities, or failure to effectively maintain and upgrade our information technology resources and systems; the insufficiency of client data protection, potential breaches of information systems or insufficient safeguards against cybersecurity breaches or incidents; our ability to comply with complex and evolving regulations related to data privacy, cybersecurity and artificial intelligence; significant competition that we face and the potential for loss of market share and/or profitability; the impact of seasonality and differences in timing of renewals and non-recurring revenue increases from disposals and book-of-business sales; the risk of increased liability or new legal claims arising from our new and existing products and services, and expectations, intentions and outcomes relating to outstanding litigation; the risk of substantial negative outcomes on existing or potential future litigation or investigation matters; changes in the regulatory environment in which we operate, including, among other risks, the impacts of pending competition law and regulatory investigations; various claims, government inquiries or investigations or the potential for regulatory action; our ability to make divestitures or acquisitions, including our ability to integrate or manage acquired businesses or carve-out businesses to be disposed, as well as our ability to identify and successfully execute on opportunities for strategic collaboration; our ability to integrate direct-to-consumer sales and marketing solutions with our existing offerings and solutions; our ability to successfully manage ongoing organizational changes, including as a result of our investments in improving systems and processes or other initiatives, and in connection with our acquisition and divestiture activities; the risks relating to the implementation of the Plan; disasters or business continuity problems; our ability to successfully enhance our billing, collection and other working capital efforts, and thereby increase our free cash flow; our ability to properly identify and manage conflicts of interest; reputational damage, including from association with third parties; reliance on third-party service providers and suppliers; risks relating to changes in our management structures and in senior leadership; the loss of key employees or a large number of employees and rehiring rates; our ability to maintain our corporate culture; doing business internationally, including the impact of global trade policies and retaliatory considerations as well as foreign currency exchange rates; compliance with extensive government regulation; the risk of sanctions imposed by governments, or changes to associated sanction regulations  and related counter-sanctions; our ability to effectively apply technology, data and analytics solutions, including through the use of artificial intelligence, for internal operations, maintaining industry standards, meeting client preferences and gaining competitive advantage, among other things; changes and developments in the insurance industry or the U.S. healthcare system, including those related to Medicare, and any other changes and developments in legal, regulatory, economic, business or operational conditions that could impact our businesses; the inability to protect our intellectual property rights, or the potential infringement upon the intellectual property rights of others; fluctuations in our pension assets and liabilities and related changes in pension income, including as a result of, related to, or derived from movements in the interest rate environment, investment returns, inflation, or changes in other assumptions that are used to estimate our benefit obligations and their effect on adjusted earnings per share; our capital structure, including indebtedness amounts, the limitations imposed by the covenants in the documents governing such indebtedness and the maintenance of the financial and disclosure controls and procedures of each; our ability to obtain financing on favorable terms or at all; adverse changes in our credit ratings; the impact of recent or potential changes to applicable U.S. state, federal and/or foreign laws, rules and regulations, recent judicial decisions and case law developments, and any other relevant policy changes and legislative actions, including the ‘Act to provide for reconciliation pursuant to title II of H. Con. Res. 14’ (‘H.R. 1’) signed into law on July 4, 2025, on our business, operations or results; the impact of recent or potential changes in state, federal, and/or foreign tax laws and regulations, including those that may impose additional excise taxes or impact our effective tax rate, including H.R. 1; U.S. federal income tax consequences to U.S. persons owning at least 10% of our shares; changes in accounting principles, estimates or assumptions; our recognition of future impairment charges; risks relating to or arising from environmental, social and governance (‘ESG’) practices; fluctuation in revenue against our relatively fixed or higher-than-expected expenses; the risk that investment levels across our portfolio increase, which can amplify the impact of market downturns; the laws of Ireland being different from the laws of the U.S. and potentially affording less protections to the holders of our securities; and our holding company structure potentially preventing us from being able to receive dividends or other distributions in needed amounts from our subsidiaries.

The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive and new factors may emerge from time to time that could also affect actual performance and results. For more information, please see Part I, Item 1A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, and our subsequent filings with the SEC. Copies are available online at http://www.sec.gov or www.wtwco.com.

Although we believe that the assumptions underlying our forward-looking statements are reasonable, any of these assumptions, and therefore also the forward-looking statements based on these assumptions, could themselves prove to be inaccurate. Given the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements included in this document, our inclusion of this information is not a representation or guarantee by us that our objectives and plans will be achieved.

Our forward-looking statements speak only as of the date made and we will not update these forward-looking statements unless the securities laws require us to do so. With regard to these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking events discussed in this document may not occur, and we caution you against unduly relying on these forward-looking statements.

There were no gains from sales of real estate in the second quarter of 2025.(2) See the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section of the press release.                  Mario Harik, chairman and chief executive officer of XPO, said, “We accelerated our performance significantly in the second quarter, delivering 56% year-over-year growth in adjusted diluted EPS and 25% growth in adjusted EBITDA, excluding real estate gains.

“In North American LTL, we increased adjusted operating income by 36% year-over-year and expanded our adjusted operating ratio by 300 basis points to a record 79.9%, strongly outperforming seasonality. Both yield and revenue per shipment, excluding fuel, improved sequentially and year-over-year, while our profitable market share gains ramped volume growth through the quarter. Underpinning these achievements is our service quality for customers, as we delivered a company-best damage claims ratio below 0.2%. On the cost side, we continued to improve labor productivity above target by implementing new AI capabilities across the network, enhancing efficiency.”

Harik continued, “A consistently superior customer experience remains our foundation for value creation as we continue to grow the business and expand our margins. Our world-class service, combined with the investments we've made in our network, fleet and people are driving outperformance and accelerating free cash flow generation as freight demand strengthens.”

Results by Business Segment

North American Less-Than-Truckload (LTL): The segment grew revenue to $1.43 billion for the second quarter 2026, compared with $1.24 billion for the same period in 2025. On a year-over-year basis, yield, excluding fuel, increased 4.4%, shipments per day increased 2.8%, and tonnage per day increased 1.0%.Operating income increased to $285 million for the second quarter, compared with $199 million for the same period in 2025. Adjusted operating income, a non-GAAP financial measure, increased to $287 million for the second quarter, compared with $211 million for the same period in 2025. Adjusted operating ratio, a non-GAAP financial measure, was 79.9%, reflecting a year-over-year improvement of 300 basis points.

Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter was $390 million, compared with $300 million for the same period in 2025. The increase in adjusted EBITDA reflects yield growth, higher tonnage per day, productivity improvements and higher fuel surcharge revenue, partially offset by higher fuel costs and wage inflation.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

As required by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), we provide reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures contained in this press release to the most directly comparable measures under GAAP, which are set forth in the financial tables attached to this press release.

XPO’s non-GAAP financial measures in this press release include: adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“adjusted EBITDA”) on a consolidated basis and for corporate; adjusted EBITDA margin on a consolidated basis; adjusted EBITDA, excluding gains on real estate transactions on a consolidated basis and for our North American Less-Than-Truckload segment; adjusted net income; adjusted diluted earnings per share (“adjusted diluted EPS”); adjusted diluted EPS, excluding gains on real estate transactions; adjusted operating income for our North American Less-Than-Truckload and European Transportation segments; and adjusted operating ratio for our North American Less-Than-Truckload segment.

We believe that the above adjusted financial measures facilitate analysis of our ongoing business operations because they exclude items that may not be reflective of, or are unrelated to, XPO and its business segments’ core operating performance, and may assist investors with comparisons to prior periods and assessing trends in our underlying businesses. Other companies may calculate these non-GAAP financial measures differently, and therefore our measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. These non-GAAP financial measures should only be used as supplemental measures of our operating performance.

Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted EBITDA, excluding gains on real estate transactions, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted EPS, adjusted diluted EPS, excluding gains on real estate transactions, adjusted operating income and adjusted operating ratio include adjustments for transaction and integration costs, as well as restructuring costs and other adjustments as set forth in the attached tables. Transaction and integration adjustments are generally incremental costs that result from an actual or planned acquisition, divestiture or spin-off and may include transaction costs, consulting fees, stock-based compensation, retention awards, internal salaries and wages (to the extent the individuals are assigned full-time to integration and transformation activities) and certain costs related to integrating and converging IT systems. Restructuring costs primarily relate to severance costs associated with business optimization initiatives. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in making financial, operating and planning decisions and evaluating XPO’s and each business segment’s ongoing performance.

We believe that adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin and adjusted EBITDA, excluding gains on real estate transactions improve comparability from period to period by removing the impact of our capital structure (interest and financing expenses), asset base (depreciation and amortization), tax impacts and other adjustments as set out in the attached tables that management has determined are not reflective of core operating activities and thereby assist investors with assessing trends in our underlying businesses. We believe that adjusted net income, adjusted diluted EPS and adjusted diluted EPS, excluding gains on real estate transactions improve the comparability of our operating results from period to period by removing the impact of certain costs and gains that management has determined are not reflective of our core operating activities, including amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, transaction and integration costs, restructuring costs and other adjustments as set out in the attached tables. We believe that adjusted operating income and adjusted operating ratio improve the comparability of our operating results from period to period by removing the impact of certain transaction and integration costs and restructuring costs, as well as amortization expense and other adjustments as set out in the attached tables.

Stark Security nasadí WRAP Reality pro výcvik strážných

FMP Stock News 72
Original source text
MIAMI, July 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Wrap Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: WRAP) ("WRAP" or the "Company"), a global leader in Non-Lethal Response™ ("NLR") and public safety technology, today announced that Stark Security Inc. ("Stark"), a Chicago-based provider of protective services and investigations, has selected and will deploy Wrap Reality, WRAP's immersive virtual reality training platform, across its operations and officer training programs.

The deployment represents WRAP's continued expansion into the private security market, one of the nation's largest and fastest-growing public safety sectors. As organizations increasingly prioritize professional decision-making, de-escalation, and risk reduction, WRAP believes immersive, policy-driven training plays an important role in preparing personnel to safely and effectively manage encounters before force becomes necessary.

Serving clients across Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Iowa, Stark has built its reputation on professionalism, preparedness, and responsible response. Those principles closely align with WRAP's commitment to equipping professionals with technologies and training that support better decision-making, reinforce organizational policy, and promote safer outcomes.

Through Wrap Reality, Stark will train both armed and unarmed officers in realistic scenarios that are designed to reinforce situational awareness, communication, proportional response, and organizational policy before personnel encounter these situations in the field. The Company also understands Stark intends to incorporate the platform into Stark Security Training Academy, extending immersive training opportunities to both new recruits and experienced security professionals.

The U.S. private security industry employs more than one million professionals and increasingly works alongside law enforcement in protecting commercial properties, healthcare facilities, educational institutions, residential communities, critical infrastructure, and public events. As expectations continue to rise from clients, insurers, regulators, and property owners, organizations are seeking modern training solutions that can improve consistency, reinforce policy, reduce operational risk, and demonstrate a commitment to responsible response.

WrapShield™ Brings Immersive Training to the Private Security Market
As the immersive training component of WrapShield, Wrap Reality combines virtual reality scenarios, instructor-led facilitation, and after-action review to help organizations strengthen judgment, communication, and adherence to organizational policy in realistic environments. Whether supporting law enforcement or private security organizations, Wrap Reality provides a scalable digital training capability that helps personnel consistently apply best practices before they encounter real-world situations.

WRAP believes technology alone is only part of improving safety outcomes. Better preparation, realistic training, and sound decision-making are equally important. By allowing personnel to repeatedly practice high-pressure scenarios in a controlled environment, Wrap Reality helps build the confidence, judgment, and professionalism needed when real-world incidents occur. As WRAP expands into the private security market, Wrap Reality serves as the digital training foundation of the broader WrapShield platform, helping organizations reinforce policy, improve readiness, and better prepare personnel for the moments that matter most.

"Every day, security professionals make decisions that can affect lives, families, and communities," said Scot Cohen, Chief Executive Officer of WRAP. "Stark Security shares our belief that preparation begins long before an incident occurs. Through Wrap Reality and the broader WrapShield platform, we're helping organizations strengthen judgment, reinforce policy, and improve readiness so personnel are better prepared when those critical moments arise."

"Our team is responsible for protecting people and property every day, often in unpredictable situations," said Brandon Sartor, Chief Executive Officer of Stark Security. "What drew us to WrapShield wasn't simply another piece of technology. It was a training philosophy centered on preparing our people to make better decisions under pressure. Wrap Reality allows our officers to experience challenging situations repeatedly so that communication, judgment, and professionalism become second nature when it matters most."

WRAP believes the private security market represents a significant long-term opportunity for immersive training and non-lethal technologies. That opportunity is reinforced by ATF Ruling 2026-2, which formally classifies the BolaWrap® 150 as an instrument of restraint rather than a firearm or weapon under federal law — a determination WRAP believes may broaden access to civilian and private-security channels previously complicated by weapons classification. Through partnerships with organizations like Stark Security, the Company continues expanding across adjacent public safety markets while advancing solutions that help professionals prepare more effectively, respond more confidently, and create safer outcomes for the people and communities they serve.

About WRAP Technologies, Inc.
WRAP Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: WRAP) is developing WrapShield™, an autonomous public safety platform intended to unify threat detection, classification, command-and-control, and non-lethal response in a single operating architecture. At the platform’s core is the principle that the technology layer between situational awareness and human force application should be trustworthy, accountable, and — wherever tactically appropriate — non-lethal. Building on the foundation of BolaWrap®, the Company’s flagship restraint tool deployed across more than 1,000 agencies in over 60 countries, WRAP is building an operating layer between perception and response.

About Stark Security Inc.
Stark Security Inc. is a Chicago-based provider of professional security and investigative services to businesses and individuals across the Midwest, with offices spanning Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Iowa. Founded by a leader with over a decade in law enforcement and 27 years of corporate experience, the Company delivers armed and unarmed security officers, mobile patrol, personal protection, event security, and internal investigations, backed by a Special Response Team and 24/7 field supervision. Stark integrates modern surveillance, access control, and remote guarding technology with trained, certified personnel to protect commercial and residential clients. Through its affiliated Training Academy, Stark also credentials and develops security professionals, reinforcing a standard of honesty, integrity, and professionalism across every engagement.

Revenue Increased by 13%; Operating Profit Up 14%; Diluted EPS Grew 21%
Same-Store Sales Growth Improved Sequentially to 1%; OP Margin Expanded Year Over Year for the 9th Consecutive Quarter
Acquisition of the Pizza Hut Brand in Mainland China Expected to Close in August 2026
On Track to Return $1.5 Billion to Shareholders in 2026, ~10% of Current Market Capitalization

, /PRNewswire/ -- Yum China Holdings, Inc. (the "Company" or "Yum China") (NYSE: YUMC and HKEX: 9987) today reported unaudited results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026.

Second Quarter Highlights

Total system sales grew 6% year over year ("YoY"), excluding foreign currency translation ("F/X"). Same-store sales grew 1% YoY. Same-store transactions grew 5% YoY, the 14th consecutive quarter of growth. Total revenues increased 13% YoY to $3.1 billion, or a 6% increase excluding F/X. Opened 560 net new stores, a second-quarter record high and 67% higher than the openings in the same quarter last year, with 41% opened by franchisees. As of June 30, 2026, total store count reached 19,297, with 18% of stores operated by franchisees. Operating profit grew 14% YoY to $348 million, a second-quarter record high. Core operating profit grew 7% YoY. OP margin was 11.1%, an increase of 20 basis points YoY, the ninth consecutive quarter of OP margin expansion. Restaurant margin was 16.1%, flat YoY, primarily due to increased rider cost from a higher delivery mix, offset by streamlined operations. Diluted EPS increased 21% YoY to $0.70, or up 14% excluding F/X, and up 10% further excluding the impact(1) of the mark-to-market equity investments. Returned $402 million to shareholders through $301 million in share repurchases and $101 million in cash dividends. Delivery sales grew 26% YoY. Delivery contributed approximately 54% of total Company sales, up from 45% in the same quarter last year. Active Members of KFC or Pizza Hut, defined as those who transacted in the past 12 months, exceeded 270 million, representing a 6% YoY increase. CEO Comments 

Joey Wat, CEO of Yum China, commented, "We delivered strong results in the second quarter. For the ninth consecutive quarter, we simultaneously grew system sales, operating profit and OP margin. While the operating environment remains dynamic, our topline growth continued to outperform the industry in Q2. Same-store sales growth improved sequentially to 1%, led by the 14th consecutive quarter of same-store transaction growth, while store openings continued to accelerate year over year across both company-owned and franchise stores. KFC delivered strong results, with 7% system sales growth and restaurant margin expansion. Pizza Hut's same-store sales returned to positive growth and net new openings nearly doubled from last year."

Wat continued, "Our menu innovations and breakthrough side-by-side modules are helping us broaden into new occasions and new customer segments. As we rapidly roll out KCOFFEE cafe, KPRO and car-side pickup services to more KFC locations, Pizza Hut has also built a Pizza Hut Burger Bar to drive incremental sales and profit. At the same time, our KFC Small Town and Pizza Hut WOW models are helping us deepen penetration in lower-tier cities. With our multiple growth drivers, we are confident in our ability to lead the catering industry and deliver on our full-year growth targets, even as we face tougher comparisons in the second half of the year following last year's delivery platform subsidies."

Wat concluded, "We are about to reach a major breakthrough by becoming the owner of the Pizza Hut brand in Mainland China, after operating the brand in the market for 36 years. In the near term, we expect the savings in license fees to support margin expansion, with Pizza Hut's restaurant margin approaching KFC's. More potential new stores are expected to meet our payback requirements of two to three years. Over the longer term, brand ownership will give us greater strategic flexibility to capture new opportunities and innovate more nimbly across our menu, store formats, new business modules and operations. We expect this to accelerate Pizza Hut's growth trajectory and generate sustainable long-term value for our shareholders."

(1) Refers to a 4 cents favorable F/X impact, and a lower mark-to-market loss of 2 cents in the second quarter of 2026, compared with a loss of 4 cents in the second quarter of 2025.

Capital Returns to Shareholders

The Company is on track to return $1.5 billion each year from 2024 to 2026, which is annually around 10% of our market capitalization as of July 29, 2026. In the first half of 2026, the Company returned $718 million in capital to shareholders through $515 million in share repurchases and $203 million in cash dividends. The Board declared a cash dividend of $0.29 per share on Yum China's common stock, payable on September 17, 2026, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on August 27, 2026. Starting in 2027, the Company plans to return approximately 100% of annual free cash flow after subsidiaries' dividend payments to non-controlling interests. This is anticipated to translate into an average annual return of approximately $900 million to over $1 billion in 2027 and 2028, and to exceed $1 billion in 2028. KFC

System sales for KFC grew 7% YoY, improving sequentially from 5% in the first quarter. Same-store sales increased 1% YoY, the fifth consecutive quarter of growth. Same-store transactions grew 4% YoY. Ticket average was 3% lower YoY, mainly due to incremental smaller orders from new customer segments and occasions, including KCOFFEE and KPRO. Delivery sales grew 26% YoY, contributing approximately 54% of KFC's Company sales, up from 45% in the same quarter last year. KFC opened 335 net new stores during the quarter, including 152 opened by franchisees, representing 45% of net new store openings. Total store count reached 13,789 as of June 30, 2026, with 17% of stores operated by franchisees. Operating profit increased 14% YoY to $332 million. Core operating profit increased 7% YoY. OP margin was 14.2%, an increase of 20 basis points YoY. Restaurant margin was 17.1%, an increase of 20 basis points YoY, primarily due to streamlined operations and favorable commodity prices, partially offset by the impact of increased rider cost resulting from higher delivery mix and value-for-money offerings.

System sales for Pizza Hut grew 6% YoY, improving sequentially from 4% in the first quarter. Same-store sales growth returned to positive at 1%. Same-store transactions grew 13% YoY, marking the 14th consecutive quarter of growth, and more than offset the 11% decline in ticket average. In line with our mass-market strategy, ticket average moved closer to our target range, primarily driven by value-for-money offerings and incremental smaller orders such as those from solo diners. Delivery sales grew 26% YoY, contributing approximately 52% of Pizza Hut's Company sales, up from 43% in the same quarter last year. Pizza Hut opened 174 net new stores during the quarter, nearly double the net openings in the same quarter last year, including 70 opened by franchisees, representing 40% of net new store openings. Total store count reached 4,549 as of June 30, 2026, with 11% of stores operated by franchisees. Operating profit grew 11% YoY to $51 million. Core operating profit increased 5% YoY. OP margin was 8.3%, flat YoY. OP margin expanded by 60 bps YoY in the first half of the year. Restaurant margin was 12.9%, a decrease of 40 basis points YoY, primarily due to the impact of increased costs associated with higher delivery sales mix, value-for-money offerings and investment in Pizza Hut Burger Bar, partially offset by streamlined operations, automation and favorable commodity prices. Restaurant margin increased by 10 basis points YoY in the first half of the year. 2026 Outlook

The Company targets:

Total stores of over 20,000, or more than 1,900 net new stores. 40-50% franchise mix of net new stores for both KFC and Pizza Hut. Capital expenditures of approximately $600 million to $700 million. $1.5 billion capital return to shareholders. Other Update

The Company is on track to close the acquisition of the Pizza Hut brand in Mainland China in August and plans to secure an approximately $1.2 billion equivalent offshore bridge loan to finance the transaction. Note on Non-GAAP Measures

In this press release:

Certain performance metrics and non-GAAP measures are presented excluding the impact of foreign currency translation ("F/X"). These amounts are derived by translating current year results at prior year average exchange rates. We believe the elimination of the F/X impact provides better year-to-year comparability without the distortion of foreign currency fluctuations. System sales growth reflects the results of all restaurants regardless of ownership, including Company-owned and franchise restaurants that operate our restaurant concepts, except for non-Company-owned restaurants for which we do not receive a sales-based royalty. Sales of franchise restaurants typically generate ongoing franchise fees for the Company at an average rate of approximately 6% of system sales. Franchise restaurant sales are not included in Company sales in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income; however, the franchise fees are included in the Company's revenues. We believe system sales growth is useful to investors as a significant indicator of the overall strength of our business as it incorporates all of our revenue drivers, Company and franchise same-store sales as well as net unit growth. Effective January 1, 2018, the Company revised its definition of same-store sales growth to represent the estimated percentage change in sales of food of all restaurants in the Company system that have been open prior to the first day of our prior fiscal year, excluding the period during which stores are temporarily closed. We refer to these as our "base" stores. Previously, same-store sales growth represented the estimated percentage change in sales of all restaurants in the Company system that have been open for one year or more, including stores temporarily closed, and the base stores changed on a rolling basis from month to month. This revision was made to align with how management measures performance internally and focuses on trends of a more stable base of stores. Unit Count by Brand

Reconciliation of Reported GAAP Results to Non-GAAP Measures
(in millions, except per share data)
(unaudited)

In addition to the results provided in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") in this press release, the Company provides the following non-GAAP measures:

Measures adjusted for Special Items, which include Adjusted Operating Profit, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Earnings Per Common Share ("EPS"), Adjusted Effective Tax Rate and Adjusted EBITDA; Company Restaurant Profit ("Restaurant profit") and Restaurant margin; Core Operating Profit and Core OP margin, which exclude Special Items, and further adjusted for Items Affecting Comparability and the impact of F/X; These non-GAAP measures are not intended to replace the presentation of our financial results in accordance with GAAP. Rather, the Company believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP measures provides additional information to investors to facilitate the comparison of past and present results, excluding those items that the Company does not believe are indicative of our core operations.

With respect to non-GAAP measures adjusted for Special Items, the Company excludes impact from Special Items for the purpose of evaluating performance internally and uses them as factors in determining compensation for certain employees. Special Items are not included in any of our segment results.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income including noncontrolling interests adjusted for equity in net earnings (losses) from equity method investments, income tax, interest income, net, investment gain or loss, depreciation and amortization, store impairment charges, and Special Items. Store impairment charges included as an adjustment item in Adjusted EBITDA primarily resulted from our semi-annual impairment evaluation of long-lived assets of individual restaurants, and additional impairment evaluation whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. If these restaurant-level assets were not impaired, depreciation of the assets would have been recorded and included in EBITDA. Therefore, store impairment charges were a non-cash item similar to depreciation and amortization of our long-lived assets of restaurants. The Company believes that investors and analysts may find it useful in measuring operating performance without regard to such non-cash items.

Restaurant Profit is defined as Company sales less expenses incurred directly by our Company-owned restaurants in generating Company sales, including cost of food and paper, restaurant-level payroll and employee benefits, rent, depreciation and amortization of restaurant-level assets, advertising expenses, and other operating expenses. Company restaurant margin percentage is defined as Restaurant profit divided by Company sales. We also use Restaurant profit and Restaurant margin for the purposes of internally evaluating the performance of our Company-owned restaurants and we believe they provide useful information to investors as to the profitability of our Company-owned restaurants.

Core Operating Profit is defined as Operating Profit adjusted for Special Items, and further excluding Items Affecting Comparability and the impact of F/X. We consider quantitative and qualitative factors in assessing whether to adjust for the impact of items that may be significant or that could affect an understanding of our ongoing financial and business performance or trends. Items such as charges, gains and accounting changes which are viewed by management as significantly impacting the current period or the comparable period, due to changes in policy or other external factors, or non-cash items pertaining to underlying activities that are different from or unrelated to our core operations, are generally considered "Items Affecting Comparability." Examples of Items Affecting Comparability include, but are not limited to: temporary relief from landlords and government agencies; VAT deductions due to tax policy changes; and amortization of reacquired franchise rights recognized upon acquisitions. We believe presenting Core Operating Profit provides additional information to further enhance comparability of our operating results and we use this measure for purposes of evaluating the performance of our core operations. Core OP margin is defined as Core Operating Profit divided by Total revenues, excluding the impact of F/X.

The following tables set forth the reconciliation of the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures to the non-GAAP financial measures. The reconciliation of GAAP Operating Profit to Restaurant Profit and Core Operating Profit by segment is presented in Segment Results within this release.

Original source text
Raises full-year 2026 operating earnings guidance to $6.25 to $6.55 per share Supports affordability with up to $16 billion in expected cost offsets from load growth and $1.4 billion in expected customer savings from federal loan guarantees and grants Expands new load additions to 69 gigawatts (GW) through 2030 Secures approximately 13 GW of gas-fired turbine capacity; additional 10 GW under evaluation to meet growing demand , /PRNewswire/ -- American Electric Power (Nasdaq: AEP) today reported second-quarter 2026 GAAP earnings of $713 million or $1.31 per share, compared with GAAP earnings of $1,226 million or $2.29 per share in second-quarter 2025. Operating earnings for second-quarter 2026 were $742 million or $1.36 per share, compared with operating earnings of $766 million or $1.43 per share in second-quarter 2025. See the detailed GAAP to operating earnings reconciliation at the end of this press release.

AEP is raising its full-year 2026 operating earnings guidance to $6.25 to $6.55 per share from its previous guidance range of $6.15 to $6.45 per share to reflect strong performance through the first half of the year and expected results for the remainder of the year. The company also reaffirmed its annual operating earnings growth rate of 7% to 9% through 2030, with an expected operating earnings compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of greater than 9%, based on the 2025 guidance midpoint and supported by AEP's five-year, $78 billion capital plan. Additionally, AEP has line of sight to incremental capital investments of more than $10 billion, including the fuel cell project in Wyoming, the Piketon transmission opportunity in Ohio, and incremental generation in AEP's footprint.

"While I recognize our operating earnings are below last year at this stage due to the 2025 transmission minority interest sale and the timing of tax-related items, I am highly confident in our robust business performance – so much so that we are raising 2026 full-year guidance to $6.25 to $6.55 per share," said Bill Fehrman, AEP chairman, president and chief executive officer.

Affordability and Regulatory Progress

Affordability remains central to AEP's customer-focused growth strategy. As new large load customers come online, they can help spread the fixed costs across a broader customer base. AEP has identified up to $16 billion in expected cost offsets for residential customers in its vertically integrated utilities that are supported by fully executed take-or-pay electric service agreements.

As an additional affordability measure, AEP continues to utilize grants and low-cost loans from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to drive customer savings. Most recently, AEP Texas secured a DOE loan for up to $3.3 billion to support nearly 100 transmission projects, which is expected to save customers $685 million in interest costs over the life of the loan.

With this financing, AEP has now secured approximately $5 billion in DOE loans across its portfolio, supporting nearly $1 billion in projected customer savings through lower interest costs. Combined with almost $400 million in awarded DOE grants, this DOE funding is expected to deliver nearly $1.4 billion in estimated customer benefits over the life of the loans and grants.

AEP's operating companies continued to deliver productive regulatory outcomes during the second quarter. These included approval of a distribution base rate decrease for customers in Ohio, approval to add 1.3 GW of generation resources for Oklahoma customers, and completion of a $1.4 billion securitization that allowed Appalachian Power to file its lowest increase in a base rate request in Virginia in nearly 30 years. Virginia also approved a large load tariff in the second quarter, bringing the total number of AEP's states with approved large load tariffs to five, with three additional state filings pending approval.

"As electricity demand accelerates, we have seen firsthand how growth can lower costs and improve affordability for existing customers. That is why we have led efforts to implement large load tariffs and structure contracts to ensure growth helps pay for growth," said Fehrman. "By leveraging our industry-leading transmission network, securing the resources needed to support reliability and future demand, and working with our regulators and policymakers to drive down costs for customers, we expect to strengthen our communities and create long-term value for all of our stakeholders."

Accelerating Demand Drives Infrastructure Investment

AEP continues to see robust customer demand across its system and is making investments that support reliability, affordability and long-term value for customers, communities and shareholders. The company added an incremental six GW of signed load agreements during the second quarter, primarily in Texas, bringing total contracted load growth through 2030 to 69 GW. The agreements include a diverse set of customers, including hyperscalers, data centers and industrials.

Generation Strategy Advances to Support Growing Customer Base

Significant new generation is required to meet customer energy needs, and AEP has been an early mover to secure the resources needed to serve growing demand reliably.

During the second quarter, AEP secured three additional GW of gas-fired turbine capacity, bringing its total secured capacity to approximately 13 GW for potential deployment through 2031. AEP is also evaluating opportunities to obtain up to 10 GW of additional turbine capacity through 2035. This proactive approach provides greater visibility and flexibility in AEP's generation planning and reinforces its ability to serve accelerating load growth across the footprint.

"AEP is demonstrating the value of our scale, industry expertise and disciplined focus on execution to benefit our customers," said Fehrman. "We are building partnerships and making strategic investments in generation and transmission that support reliability and affordability while helping customers and communities capture the benefits of generational energy demand growth."

EARNINGS GUIDANCE

AEP management raised its 2026 operating earnings guidance range to $6.25 to $6.55 per share. Operating earnings, which could differ from earnings reported in accordance with GAAP, exclude certain gains and losses and other specified items that management believes are not indicative of AEP's ongoing performance. AEP management is not able to forecast if any of these items will occur or any amounts that may be reported for future periods. Therefore, AEP is not able to provide a corresponding GAAP equivalent for earnings guidance at this time.

Reflecting certain items recorded through the second quarter, the estimated earnings per share on a GAAP basis would be $6.16 to $6.46 per share. See the table below for a full reconciliation of 2026 earnings guidance.

AEP reports its financial results in accordance with GAAP. AEP supplements its reporting of financial information with certain non-GAAP financial measures, such as operating earnings and operating earnings per share. The most comparable GAAP measure to operating earnings and operating earnings per share is GAAP earnings and GAAP earnings per share, respectively.

This information is intended to enhance an investor's overall understanding of period over period financial results and provide an indication of AEP's baseline operating performance by excluding items that are considered by management to be not directly related to the ongoing operations of the business. In addition, this information is among the primary indicators management uses as a basis for evaluating performance, allocating resources, setting incentive compensation targets and planning and forecasting of future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures are not a presentation defined under GAAP and may not be comparable to other companies' presentations. These non-GAAP measures should not be deemed more useful than, a substitute for, or an alternative to the most comparable GAAP measures.

Original source text
ANTIOCH, Tenn., July 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LKQ Corporation (Nasdaq: LKQ) today reported second quarter 2026 financial results and provided an updated outlook for 2026.

"Our second‑quarter performance reflected solid execution across our North America and Specialty segments. North America returned to positive organic growth for the first time in nine quarters, driven by record alternative-parts utilization of over 40%, moderating insurance premiums that were negative in May and June, and continued sequential improvement in repairable claims. Specialty also delivered growth despite a challenging end‑market environment and continued macro‑economic pressure on consumers. Europe fell short of expectations, with results affected by the ERP implementation in Germany. Outside of the ERP impact, the team delivered substantial cost reductions that largely offset the lower volumes we witnessed in the UK and Benelux regions. Overall, the fundamentals of our business are improving, and as market conditions continue to recover, we expect those operational gains to translate into stronger financial performance and profitability in the quarters ahead," commented Justin Jude, President and Chief Executive Officer.

Second Quarter 2026 Financial and Operating Results

Revenue for the second quarter of 2026 was $3.4 billion, a decrease of 3.0% compared to $3.5 billion for the second quarter of 2025. Total parts and services revenue decreased 3.6%, which included a 5.1% decrease in parts and services organic revenue, a 1.0% increase from foreign exchange rates year over year, and the net impact of acquisitions and divestitures, which increased revenue by 0.5%.

Net income2 was $134 million compared to $185 million for the same period of 2025. Diluted earnings per share2 was $0.52 compared to $0.72 for the same period of 2025.

On an adjusted basis, net income1,2 was $170 million compared to $218 million for the same period of 2025. Adjusted diluted earnings per share1,2 was $0.67 compared to $0.84 for the same period of 2025.

Strategic Initiatives

In December 2025, the Company announced that it had commenced a process to explore a potential sale of its Specialty segment, and in January 2026, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had initiated a comprehensive review of strategic alternatives, including a sale of the Company, to enhance shareholder value. Our Specialty segment is currently being evaluated as part of the broader strategic review process initiated in January.

The strategic review process remains active, and the Company continues to engage with multiple parties. The review has no deadline or definitive timetable and there can be no assurance the review will result in any transaction or other strategic outcome. The Company will provide updates on the process as appropriate.

Cash Flow and Balance Sheet

Cash flow from operations3 and free cash flow1,3 were $111 million and $60 million, respectively, for the second quarter of 2026. Cash flow from operations3 and free cash flow1,3 were $55 million and negative $36 million, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2026. As of June 30, 2026, the balance sheet reflected total debt of $4.0 billion and total leverage, as defined in our credit facility, was 2.8x EBITDA.

Returning Capital to Shareholders

During the second quarter of 2026, the Company invested $52 million to repurchase 1.9 million shares of its common stock and distributed $77 million in cash dividends. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company returned $207 million to its shareholders by investing $53 million to repurchase 1.9 million shares of its common stock and distributing $154 million in cash dividends. Since initiating the stock repurchase program in late October 2018, the Company has repurchased approximately 71 million shares of its common stock for a total of $3.0 billion through June 30, 2026. An aggregate balance of $1.5 billion remains for potential additional stock repurchases through October 25, 2026. On July 28, 2026, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.30 per share of common stock, payable on September 3, 2026, to stockholders of record at the close of business on August 20, 2026.

2026 Outlook

"Second-quarter results reflected improving trends in North America and resilient demand in Specialty, offset by a slower-than-expected recovery following the ERP implementation in Germany. North America remains on track against its full-year plan, and Specialty’s revenue performance has been consistent with our expectations. Our revised outlook reflects a more measured pace of recovery in Europe, while we maintain a disciplined focus on cost management, cash generation and capital allocation. The actions underway in Europe are focused on restoring service levels, aligning the cost structure with current demand and translating operational improvement into stronger financial performance," stated Rick Galloway, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.

For 2026, management updated the outlook as set forth below:

 2026 Previous Full Year Outlook2026 Updated Full Year OutlookOrganic revenue growth for parts and services(0.5%) to 1.5%(3.0%) to (1.0%)Diluted EPS2$2.16 to $2.46$1.78 to $2.08Adjusted diluted EPS1,2$2.90 to $3.20$2.60 to $2.90Operating cash flow3$900 to $1,100 million$825 to $1,025 millionFree cash flow1,3 $700 to $850 million$625 to $775 million
Our outlook for the full year 2026 is based on current conditions, recent trends and our expectations. Outlook includes estimated impacts from the U.S. and retaliatory tariffs in effect as of July 1, 2026 and assumes a global effective tax rate of 26.8% and foreign currency exchange rates near recent average levels, including $1.17, $1.35 and $0.72 for the euro, pound sterling and Canadian dollar, respectively, for the balance of the year. Changes in these conditions may impact our ability to achieve the estimates. Adjusted figures exclude (to the extent applicable) the impact of restructuring and transaction related expenses; amortization expense related to acquired intangibles; excess tax benefits and deficiencies from stock-based payments; losses on debt extinguishment; impairment charges; and gains and losses related to acquisitions or divestitures (including changes in the fair value of contingent consideration liabilities).

These factors include the following (not necessarily in order of importance):

our operating results and financial condition have been and could continue to be adversely affected by the economic, political and social conditions in North America, Europe, Taiwan and other countries, as well as the economic health of vehicle owners and numbers and types of vehicles sold;we face competition from local, national, international, and internet-based vehicle products providers, and this competition could negatively affect our business;we rely upon insurance companies and our customers to promote the usage of alternative parts;intellectual property claims relating to aftermarket products could adversely affect our business;if the number of vehicles involved in accidents or being repaired declines, or the mix of the types of vehicles in the overall vehicle population changes, our business could suffer;fluctuations in the prices of commodities could adversely affect our financial results;an adverse change in our relationships with our suppliers, disruption to our supply of inventory, or the misconduct, performance failures or negligence of our third party vendors or service providers could increase our expenses, impede our ability to serve our customers, or expose us to liability;future public health emergencies could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, the nature and extent of which is highly uncertain;if we determine that our goodwill or other intangible assets have become impaired, we may incur significant charges to our pretax income;we could be subject to product liability claims and involved in product recalls;we may not be able to successfully acquire businesses or integrate acquisitions, and we may not be able to successfully divest certain businesses;we have a substantial amount of indebtedness, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and our ability to obtain financing in the future and to react to changes in our business;our senior notes do not impose any limitations on our ability to incur additional debt or protect against certain other types of transactions, and we may incur certain additional indebtedness under our credit agreement and CAD Note;each of our credit agreement and CAD Note imposes operating and financial restrictions on us and our subsidiaries, which may prevent us from capitalizing on business opportunities;we may not be able to generate sufficient cash to service all of our indebtedness, and may be forced to take other actions to satisfy our obligations under our indebtedness, which may not be successful;our future capital needs may require that we seek to refinance our debt or obtain additional debt or equity financing, events that could have a negative effect on our business;our variable rate indebtedness subjects us to interest rate risk, which could cause our indebtedness service obligations to increase significantly;repayment of our indebtedness is dependent on cash flow generated by our subsidiaries;a downgrade in our credit rating would impact us;the amount and frequency of our share repurchases and dividend payments may fluctuate;existing or new laws and regulations, or changes to enforcement or interpretation of existing laws or regulations, may prohibit, restrict or burden the sale of aftermarket, recycled, refurbished or remanufactured products;we are subject to environmental regulations and incur costs relating to environmental matters;if we fail to maintain proper and effective internal control over financial reporting in the future, our ability to produce accurate and timely financial statements could be negatively impacted, which could harm our operating results and investor perceptions of our company and as a result may have a material adverse effect on the value of our common stock;we may be adversely affected by legal, regulatory or market responses to global climate change;our amended and restated bylaws provide that the courts in the State of Delaware are the exclusive forums for substantially all disputes between us and our stockholders, which could limit our stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers or employees;our effective tax rate could materially increase as a consequence of various factors, including U.S. and/or international tax legislation, applicable interpretations and administrative guidance, our mix of earnings by jurisdiction, and U.S. and foreign jurisdictional audits;if significant tariffs or other restrictions are placed on products or materials we import or any related counter-measures are taken by countries to which we export products, our revenue and results of operations may be materially harmed;governmental agencies may refuse to grant or renew our operating licenses and permits;the costs of complying with the requirements of laws pertaining to data privacy and cybersecurity of personal information and the potential liability associated with the failure to comply with such laws could materially adversely affect our business and results of operations;our employees are important to successfully manage our business and achieve our objectives;we operate in foreign jurisdictions, which exposes us to foreign exchange and other risks;our business may be adversely affected by union activities and labor and employment laws;we rely on information technology and communication systems in critical areas of our operations and a disruption relating to such

We calculate Segment EBITDA as Net Income excluding net income and loss attributable to noncontrolling interest; income and loss from discontinued operations; depreciation; amortization; interest; gains and losses on debt extinguishment; income tax expense; restructuring and transaction related expenses; change in fair value of contingent consideration liabilities; other gains and losses related to acquisitions, equity method investments, or divestitures; equity in losses and earnings of unconsolidated subsidiaries; equity investment fair value adjustments; impairment charges; and direct impacts of the Ukraine/Russia conflict. Our chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), who is our Chief Executive Officer, uses Segment EBITDA as the key measure of our segment profit or loss. The CODM uses Segment EBITDA to compare profitability among our segments and evaluate business strategies. This financial measure is included in the metrics used to determine incentive compensation for our senior management. We also consider Segment EBITDA to be a useful financial measure in evaluating our operating performance, as it provides investors, securities analysts and other interested parties with supplemental information regarding the underlying trends in our ongoing operations. Segment EBITDA includes revenue and expenses that are controllable by the segment. Corporate general and administrative expenses are allocated to the segments based on usage, with shared expenses apportioned based on the segment's percentage of consolidated revenue. Refer to the table on the following page for a reconciliation of net income to Segment EBITDA.

We have presented Segment EBITDA solely as a supplemental disclosure that offers investors, securities analysts and other interested parties useful information to evaluate our segment profit and loss and underlying trends in our ongoing operations. See paragraph under the previous table (revenue and Segment EBITDA by reportable segment) for details on the calculation of Segment EBITDA.

Segment EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to operating income, net income or net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, as determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. In addition, not all companies that report Segment EBITDA information calculate Segment EBITDA in the same manner as we do and, accordingly, our calculation is not necessarily comparable to similarly-named measures of other companies and may not be an appropriate measure for performance relative to other companies.

(2) Figures are for continuing operations attributable to LKQ stockholders.

We have presented Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share as we believe these measures are useful for evaluating the core operating performance of our continuing business across reporting periods and in analyzing our historical operating results. We define Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share as Net Income and Diluted Earnings per Share adjusted to eliminate the impact of net income and loss attributable to noncontrolling interest, income and loss from discontinued operations, restructuring and transaction related expenses, amortization expense related to all acquired intangible assets, gains and losses on debt extinguishment, changes in fair value of contingent consideration liabilities, other gains and losses related to acquisitions, equity method investments, or divestitures, impairment charges, direct impacts of the Ukraine/Russia conflict, excess tax benefits and deficiencies from stock-based payments and any tax effect of these adjustments. The tax effect of these adjustments is calculated using the effective tax rate for the applicable period or for certain discrete items the specific tax expense or benefit for the adjustment. Given the variability and volatility of the amount of related transactions in a particular period, management believes that these costs are not core operating expenses and should be adjusted in our calculation of Adjusted Net Income. Our adjustment of the amortization of all acquisition-related intangible assets does not exclude the amortization of other assets, which represents expense that is directly attributable to ongoing operations. Management believes that the adjustment relating to amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets supplements the GAAP information with a measure that can be used to assess the comparability of operating performance. The acquired intangible assets were recorded as part of purchase accounting and contribute to revenue generation. Amortization of intangible assets that relate to past acquisitions will recur in future periods until such intangible assets have been fully amortized. Any future acquisitions may result in the amortization of additional intangible assets. These financial measures are used by management in its decision making and overall evaluation of our operating performance and are included in the metrics used to determine incentive compensation for our senior management. Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share should not be construed as alternatives to Net Income or Diluted Earnings per Share as determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. In addition, not all companies that report measures similar to Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share calculate such measures in the same manner as we do and, accordingly, our calculations are not necessarily comparable to similarly-named measures of other companies and may not be appropriate measures for performance relative to other companies.

Refer to the discussion of Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share for details on the calculation of these non-GAAP financial measures. In the calculation of forecasted Adjusted Net Income and forecasted Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share, we included estimates of net income, amortization of acquired intangibles for the full fiscal year 2026, restructuring expenses under approved plans, and the related tax effect; we included for all other components the amounts incurred through June 30, 2026.

We have presented free cash flow solely as a supplemental disclosure that offers investors, securities analysts and other interested parties useful information to evaluate our liquidity. We calculate free cash flow as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, less purchases of property, plant and equipment. We believe free cash flow provides insight into our liquidity and provides useful information to management and investors concerning our cash flow available to meet future debt service obligations and working capital requirements, make strategic acquisitions, pay dividends and repurchase stock. We believe free cash flow is used by investors, securities analysts and other interested parties in evaluating the liquidity of other companies, many of which present free cash flow when reporting their results. This financial measure is included in the metrics used to determine incentive compensation for our senior management.

Free cash flow should not be construed as an alternative to net cash provided by (used in) operating activities as determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. In addition, not all companies that report free cash flow information calculate this metric in the same manner as we do and, accordingly, our calculations are not necessarily comparable to similarly-named measures of other companies and may not be appropriate measures for performance relative to other companies.

Record second quarter reported net sales of $6.7 billion, up 13% YOY and up 10% sequentially Organic sales up 13% YOY Data center sales of $1.5 billion, up ~45% YOY Record total company backlog, up ~60% YOY Second quarter operating margin of 5.7%, up 20 basis points YOY; adjusted EBITDA margin of 7.3%, up 60 basis points YOY Second quarter diluted EPS of $4.23; record adjusted diluted EPS of $4.57, up 35% YOY Second quarter operating cash flow of $54 million; free cash flow of $32 million Raising 2026 outlook reflecting exceptional results in first half of the year and accelerating business momentum , /PRNewswire/ -- Wesco International (NYSE: WCC), a leading provider of business-to-business distribution, logistics services and supply chain solutions, announces its results for the second quarter of 2026.

"We delivered another exceptional quarter marked by continued market outperformance and accelerating business momentum. Sales, backlog, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted earnings per share all increased versus the prior year and achieved records that exceeded our plan. Free cash flow generation was also positive and exceeded our expectations. We have now posted four consecutive quarters of double-digit sales growth fueled by data centers. Beyond our outsized growth in data centers, demand remained strong across the rest of our diversified portfolio and end markets as customers continue to invest in major infrastructure projects. Especially noteworthy, backlog was up approximately 60%, to a new record level, reflecting the benefits of the ongoing secular growth trends and the continued effectiveness of our One Wesco cross-selling strategy. We achieved a major milestone this quarter with a significant multi-year Grid Services award in our UBS business from a hyperscale data center customer. This win represents an important step in diversifying our UBS customer base and expanding our comprehensive data center offerings to include power solutions in addition to our extensive white space and gray space product and service offerings. As recently announced, we also strengthened our end-to-end capabilities and cooling solutions for data center customers through the acquisition of Singapore-based Newark Engineering," said John Engel, Chairman, President, and CEO.

Mr. Engel concluded, "We are very pleased with our second quarter results and continued positive business momentum as we enter the second half of the year. Our backlog growth was fueled by multi-year customer commitments demonstrating our transformation into a leading infrastructure solutions provider serving communications, security, electrical, utility and power markets. The power of our customer value proposition, global capabilities, and leading portfolio of products, services and solutions is clear as we continue to outperform the market. As a result, we are significantly raising our full-year 2026 outlook reflecting the favorable secular growth trends and our confidence in continued strong execution. As the market leader, and with positive momentum building, I'm bullish that Wesco will continue to outperform our markets and deliver superior value to our customers, suppliers, and shareholders in the second half of 2026 and beyond."

Net Sales

On an organic basis, which removes differences in foreign exchange rates and the impact from the number of workdays, sales for the second quarter of 2026 grew by 12.6%. The increase in organic sales reflects volume growth in all three segments (CSS, EES and UBS), as well as a favorable impact from changes in price. Sequentially, net sales increased 9.6% and organic sales grew by 6.6%. We had record backlog at the end of the second quarter of 2026, up by approximately 60% compared to the end of the second quarter of 2025. For the first six months of 2026, organic sales grew by 12.5%. The increase in organic sales reflects volume growth in all three segments (CSS, EES and UBS), as well as a favorable impact from changes in price. Gross Profit and Gross Margin

The increase in gross margin for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 reflects improved gross margin in the EES and CSS segments, partially offset by a decline in the UBS segment. Selling, General, and Administrative ("SG&A") Expenses

The increase in SG&A expenses for the second quarter of 2026 is primarily driven by an increase in commissions and incentives due to company performance, as well as higher salaries and benefits. SG&A expenses for the second quarter of 2026 include $23.2 million of digital transformation costs, compared to $8.1 million of digital transformation and restructuring costs for the second quarter of 2025. Adjusted for these costs, SG&A expenses were 15.0% and 14.6% of net sales for the second quarter of 2026 and 2025, respectively. The increase in SG&A expenses for the first six months of 2026 is primarily driven by an increase in commissions and incentives due to company performance, as well as higher salaries and benefits. SG&A expenses for the first six months of 2026 include $40.7 million of digital transformation costs, compared to $15.4 million of digital transformation and restructuring costs for the first six months of 2025. Adjusted for these costs, SG&A expenses were 15.1% of net sales for the first six months of 2026 and 2025. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin

The increase in adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin for the the second quarter of 2026 primarily reflects higher sales and gross margin. Sequentially, adjusted EBITDA margin increased 90 basis points. The increase in adjusted EBITDA for the first six months of 2026 primarily reflects higher sales and gross margin. Effective Tax Rate

The lower effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 are largely driven by higher discrete income tax benefits relating to the exercise and vesting of stock-based awards as compared to the prior year periods. Adjusted Earnings Per Diluted Share

The increase in adjusted earnings per diluted share in the second quarter of 2026 reflects higher adjusted EBITDA, as described above. There was also an unfavorable $17.5 million increase in interest expense primarily driven by higher net term debt throughout the quarter compared to the prior year, as well as a $10.0 million non-cash loss on extinguishment from the redemption of the 2028 Notes, partially offset by lower borrowings and lower rates on the Receivables Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility. Additionally, the prior year period included the favorable impact of the June 2025 redemption of the Company's 10.625% Series A Fixed-Rate Reset Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock (the "Series A Preferred Stock"), partially offset by $12.9 million of preferred stock dividends. The increase in adjusted earnings per diluted share in the first six months of 2026 reflects higher adjusted EBITDA, partially offset by a $27.9 million increase in interest expense primarily driven by higher net term debt throughout the first six months compared to the prior year, as well as a $10.0 million non-cash loss on extinguishment from the redemption of the 2028 Notes, partially offset by lower borrowings and lower rates on the Receivables Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility. Additionally, the prior year period included the favorable impact of the Series A Preferred Stock redemption, partially offset by $27.3 million of preferred stock dividends. Operating Cash Flow

Net cash provided by operating activities for the second quarter of 2026 totaled $53.7 million compared to $107.8 million in the second quarter of 2025. The $54.1 million decrease is driven by a $182.8 million impact from changes in trade accounts receivable and a $155.3 million impact from changes in other current and noncurrent assets. The impact from trade accounts receivable was primarily due to sales growth in all three segments, as well as the timing of receipts from customers as compared to the prior year, and the impact from other current and noncurrent assets was primarily due to increases in supplier prepayments. These decreases were partially offset by a $129.9 million impact from changes in other current and noncurrent liabilities, driven by increases in deferred revenue. Additionally an increase in net income as adjusted for certain non-cash items also offset the decrease in operating cash flows. Net cash provided by operating activities for the first six months of 2026 totaled $275.1 million, compared to $135.8 million for the first six months of 2025. The $139.3 million increase is driven by a $170.4 million impact from changes in other current and noncurrent liabilities, primarily due to increases in deferred revenue. Accounts payable additionally contributed to the increase, with a $151.3 million impact driven by increased inventory purchases, as well as the timing of inventory purchases and payments to suppliers as compared to the prior year. An increase in net income as adjusted for certain non-cash items also contributed to the increase in operating cash flows. These increases were partially offset by a $209.8 million impact from changes in trade accounts receivable and a $168.1 million impact from changes in other current and noncurrent assets. The impact from trade accounts receivable was primarily due to sales growth in all three segments, as well as the timing of receipts from customers as compared to the prior year, and the impact from other current and noncurrent assets was primarily due to increases in supplier prepayments.

Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on such statements.

Important factors that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those presented or implied in the forward-looking statements include, among others, the failure to achieve the anticipated benefits of, and other risks associated with, acquisitions, joint ventures, divestitures and other corporate transactions; the inability to successfully integrate acquired businesses; the impact of increased interest rates or borrowing costs; fluctuations in currency exchange rates; evolving impacts from tariffs or other trade tensions between the U.S. and other countries (including implementation of new tariffs and retaliatory measures); failure to adequately protect Wesco's intellectual property or successfully defend against infringement claims; the inability to successfully deploy new technologies, digital products and information systems or to otherwise adapt to emerging technologies in the marketplace, such as those incorporating artificial intelligence (AI); risks relating to our use or reliance on AI; failure to execute on our efforts and programs related to environmental, social and governance (ESG) matters; unanticipated expenditures or other adverse developments related to compliance with new or stricter government policies, laws or regulations, including those relating to data privacy, cybersecurity, competition, sustainability and environmental protection; the inability to successfully develop, manage or implement new technology initiatives or business strategies, including with respect to the expansion of e-commerce or AI capabilities and other digital solutions and digitalization initiatives; disruption of information technology systems or operations; natural disasters (including as a result of climate change), health epidemics, pandemics and other outbreaks; supply chain disruptions; geopolitical conflicts and issues, such as the ongoing Middle East and Russia/Ukraine conflicts; the impact of changing and expanding export controls, sanctions, and data localization rules; the failure to manage the increased risks and impacts of cyber incidents or data breaches; and exacerbation of key materials shortages, inflationary cost pressures, material cost increases, demand volatility, and logistics and capacity constraints, any of which may have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition. All such factors are difficult to predict and are beyond the Company's control.

The six months ended June 30, 2026 includes the issuance of the Company's $650 million aggregate principal amount of 5.250% Senior Notes due 2031 (the "2031 Notes") and $850 million aggregate principal amount of 5.500% Senior Notes due 2034 (the "2034 Notes" and, together with the 2031 Notes, the "2031 and 2034 Notes"). The proceeds from the issuance of the 2031 and 2034 Notes were used for the redemption of the Company's $1,325 million aggregate principal amount of 7.250% Senior Notes due 2028 (the "2028 Notes") and to repay a portion of the amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility. The six months ended June 30, 2025 includes the issuance of the Company's $800 million aggregate principal amount of 6.375% senior notes due 2033 (the "2033 Notes"). The Company used the net proceeds from the issuance of the 2033 Notes to redeem all of the Company's outstanding 10.625% Series A Fixed-Rate Reset Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock (the "Series A Preferred Stock") and all of the related depositary shares representing fractional interests in the Series A Preferred Stock, and to repay a portion of the amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

In addition to the results provided in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("U.S. GAAP") above, this earnings release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures. These financial measures include organic sales growth, gross profit,  gross margin, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, financial leverage, free cash flow, adjusted selling, general and administrative expenses, adjusted income from operations, adjusted operating margin, adjusted other non-operating (income) expense, adjusted provision for income taxes, adjusted income before income taxes, adjusted net income, adjusted net income attributable to WESCO International, Inc., adjusted net income attributable to common stockholders, and adjusted earnings per diluted share. The Company believes that these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors as they provide a better understanding of our financial condition and results of operations on a comparable basis. Additionally, certain non-GAAP measures either focus on or exclude items impacting comparability of results such as digital transformation costs, restructuring costs, cloud computing arrangement amortization, and the related income tax effects, allowing investors to more easily compare the Company's financial performance from period to period. Management does not use these non-GAAP financial measures for any purpose other than the reasons stated above.

Note: Organic sales growth is a non-GAAP financial measure of sales performance. Organic sales growth is calculated by deducting the percentage impact from acquisitions and divestitures for one year following the respective transaction, fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and number of workdays from the reported percentage change in consolidated net sales. Workday impact represents the change in the number of operating days period-over-period after adjusting for weekends and public holidays in the United States; There was no change in the number of workdays in the second quarter of 2026 compared to the second quarter of 2025, or in the first six months of 2026 compared to the first six months of  2025. The second quarter of 2026 had two more workdays compared to the first quarter of 2026.

CenterPoint Energy News Roundup Here are the key news stories impacting CenterPoint Energy this week:

Positive Sentiment: CenterPoint reported second-quarter adjusted EPS of $0.40, above the $0.37 analyst consensus and up from $0.29 a year earlier. Revenue increased 10.7% year over year to $2.15 billion, also exceeding expectations, while GAAP earnings rose to $244 million, or $0.37 per share. Reuters earnings report Positive Sentiment: The utility increased its 10-year capital plan by $1.2 billion, supported by rising electricity demand in the Houston area and approximately 14 gigawatts of potential ERCOT “Batch Zero” projects. The spending could strengthen long-term rate-base growth, particularly from data-center demand. Capital plan and ERCOT projects Neutral Sentiment: CenterPoint reaffirmed its 2026 adjusted EPS guidance of $1.89 to $1.91. While this maintains the company’s outlook after the earnings beat, the midpoint is roughly in line with the $1.91 analyst consensus, providing limited near-term upside to estimates. CenterPoint quarterly results Negative Sentiment: The larger investment program increases financing, execution and regulatory exposure.

Earnings Conference Call Information

Members of the public may listen to the conference call through an audio webcast through the Investor Relations section of the firm’s website ir.virtu.com/investor-relations.

Website Information

We routinely post important information for investors on the Investor Relations section of our website, ir.virtu.com/investor-relations and also from time to time may use social media channels, including our X account (x.com/virtufinancial) and our LinkedIn account (linkedin.com/company/virtu-financial), as an additional means of disclosing public information to investors, the media and others interested in us. It is possible that certain information we post on our website and on social media could be deemed to be material information, and we encourage investors, the media and others interested in us to review the business and financial information we post on our website and on the social media channels identified above, in addition to following our press releases, SEC filings, public conference calls, presentations and webcasts. The information contained on, or that may be accessed through, our website and our social media channels is not incorporated by reference into, and is not a part of, this document.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Items

To supplement our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), we use the following non-GAAP measures of financial performance:

“Adjusted Net Trading Income”, which is the amount of revenue we generate from our market making activities, or trading income, net, plus commissions, net and technology services, plus interest and dividends income and expense, net, less direct costs associated with those revenues, including brokerage, exchange, clearance fees and payments for order flow, net. Management believes that this measurement is useful for comparing general operating performance from period to period. Although we use Adjusted Net Trading Income as a financial measure to assess the performance of our business, the use of Adjusted Net Trading Income is limited because it does not include certain material costs that are necessary to operate our business. Our presentation of Adjusted Net Trading Income should not be construed as an indication that our future results will be unaffected by revenues or expenses that are not directly associated with our core business activities.
“EBITDA”, which measures our operating performance by adjusting Net Income to exclude Financing interest expense on long-term borrowings, Debt issue cost related to debt refinancing, prepayment, and commitment fees, Depreciation and amortization, Amortization of purchased intangibles and acquired capitalized software, and Income tax expense, and “Adjusted EBITDA”, which measures our operating performance by further adjusting EBITDA to exclude severance, transaction advisory fees and expenses, termination of office leases, charges related to share-based compensation and other expenses, which includes reserves for legal matters, and Other, net, which includes gains and losses from strategic investments and the sales of businesses.
“Normalized Adjusted Net Income”, “Normalized Adjusted Net Income before income taxes”, “Normalized provision for income taxes”, and “Normalized Adjusted EPS”, which we calculate by adjusting Net Income to exclude certain items, and other non-cash items, assuming that all vested and unvested Virtu Financial Units have been exchanged for Class A Common Stock, and applying an effective tax rate, which was approximately 24%.
Adjusted Net Trading Income, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Normalized Adjusted Net Income, Normalized Adjusted Net Income before income taxes, Normalized provision for income taxes, and Normalized Adjusted EPS are non-GAAP financial measures used by management in evaluating operating performance and in making strategic decisions. Additional information provided regarding the breakdown of Total Adjusted Net Trading Income by category is also a non-GAAP financial measure but is not used by the Company in evaluating operating performance and in making strategic decisions. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures or similar non-GAAP measures are used by research analysts, investment bankers and lenders to assess our operating performance. Management believes that the presentation of Adjusted Net Trading Income, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Normalized Adjusted Net Income, Normalized Adjusted Net Income before income taxes, Normalized provision for income taxes and Normalized Adjusted EPS provide useful information to investors regarding our results of operations because they assist both investors and management in analyzing and benchmarking the performance and value of our business. Adjusted Net Trading Income, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Normalized Adjusted Net Income, Normalized Adjusted Net Income before income taxes, Normalized provision for income taxes and Normalized Adjusted EPS provide indicators of general economic performance that are not affected by fluctuations in certain costs or other items. Accordingly, management believes that these measurements are useful for comparing general operating performance from period to period. Furthermore, our credit agreement contains tests based on metrics similar to Adjusted EBITDA. Other companies may define Adjusted Net Trading Income, Adjusted EBITDA, Normalized Adjusted Net Income, Normalized Adjusted Net Income before income taxes, Normalized provision for income taxes and Normalized Adjusted EPS differently, and as a result our measures of Adjusted Net Trading Income, Adjusted EBITDA, Normalized Adjusted Net Income, Normalized Adjusted Net Income before income taxes, Normalized provision for income taxes and Normalized Adjusted EPS may not be directly comparable to those of other companies. Although we use these non-GAAP financial measures as financial measures to assess the performance of our business, such use is limited because they do not include certain material costs necessary to operate our business.

Adjusted Net Trading Income, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Normalized Adjusted Net Income before income taxes, Normalized provision for income taxes, Normalized Adjusted Net Income and Normalized Adjusted EPS should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, Net Income in accordance with U.S. GAAP as a measure of performance. Our presentation of Adjusted Net Trading Income, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Normalized Adjusted Net Income, Normalized Adjusted Net Income before income taxes, Normalized provision for income taxes and Normalized Adjusted EPS should not be construed as an indication that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or nonrecurring items. Adjusted Net Trading Income, Normalized Adjusted Net Income, Normalized Adjusted Net Income before income taxes, Normalized provision for income taxes, Normalized Adjusted EPS and our EBITDA-based measures have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

they do not reflect every cash expenditure, future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;our EBITDA-based measures do not reflect the significant interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payment on our debt;although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced or require improvements in the future, and our EBITDA-based measures do not reflect any cash requirement for such replacements or improvements;they are not adjusted for all non-cash income or expense items that are reflected in our statements of cash flows;they do not reflect the impact of earnings or charges resulting from matters we consider not to be indicative of our ongoing operations; andthey do not reflect limitations on our costs related to transferring earnings from our subsidiaries to us. Because of these limitations, Adjusted Net Trading Income, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Normalized Adjusted Net Income before income taxes, Normalized provision for income taxes, Normalized Adjusted Net Income and Normalized Adjusted EPS are not intended as alternatives to Net Income as indicators of our operating performance and should not be considered as measures of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business or as measures of cash that will be available to us to meet our obligations. We compensate for these limitations by using Adjusted Net Trading Income, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Normalized Adjusted Net Income before income taxes, Normalized provision for income taxes, Normalized Adjusted Net Income and Normalized Adjusted EPS along with other comparative tools, together with U.S. GAAP measurements, to assist in the evaluation of operating performance. These U.S. GAAP measurements include Net Income, cash flows from operations and cash flow data. See below a reconciliation of each non-GAAP measure to the most directly comparable GAAP measure.

The Company presents certain percentage changes in net sales on a constant currency basis, which excludes the impact of foreign currency exchange. To present this information for historical periods, current period net sales for entities reporting in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars at the average monthly exchange rates in effect during the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year, rather than at the actual average monthly exchange rates in effect during the current period of the current fiscal year. As a result, the foreign currency impact is equal to the current year results in local currencies multiplied by the change in the average foreign currency exchange rate between the current fiscal period and the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year.

Second-Quarter 2026 Consolidated Results 

Consolidated net sales increased 6.6% to $2,787.3 million in the second quarter of 2026. Organic, constant currency net sales increased 3.6%, driven by net price realization of approximately 12 points. Volume declined approximately 8 points primarily reflecting elasticity impacts in North America Confectionery and International, partially offset by growth in North America Salty Snacks. The impact of the LesserEvil acquisition was a 2.7 point benefit, while the foreign exchange benefit was 0.3 points in the second quarter.

Reported gross margin was 45.3% in the second quarter of 2026, compared to 30.5% in the second quarter of 2025, an increase of 1,480 basis points. The reported gross margin increase was driven by net price realization, derivative mark-to-market gains, lower net commodity costs, and productivity program savings, which more than offset higher logistic expenses and unfavorable mix. Adjusted gross margin was 41.6% in the second quarter of 2026, an increase of 350 basis points compared to the second quarter of 2025, driven by net price realization, lower net commodity costs, and productivity program savings, which more than offset higher logistic expenses and unfavorable mix.

Selling, marketing and administrative expenses increased 2.9% in the second quarter of 2026 versus the second quarter of 2025. Selling, marketing and administrative expenses, excluding advertising and related consumer marketing, increased 6.0% versus the second quarter of 2025, driven by higher capability and technology investments, partially offset by lower incentive compensation. Advertising and related consumer marketing expenses decreased 3.3% in the second quarter of 2026 versus the same period last year, primarily due to efficiencies and timing of non-working media investment in North America Confectionery.

Second quarter 2026 reported operating profit was $642.6 million, an increase of 233.3% versus the second quarter of 2025, resulting in a reported operating profit margin of 23.1%, an increase of 1,570 basis points versus the prior year period. Adjusted operating profit of $563.5 million increased 37.3% versus the second quarter of 2025. Adjusted operating profit margin of 20.2% increased 450 basis points versus the second quarter of 2025. The reported operating profit margin increase reflects favorable derivative mark-to-market gains. Reported and adjusted operating profit margin increases reflect net price realization, lower net commodity costs, and productivity program savings which more than offset higher logistic expenses and capability and technology investments.

The reported effective tax rate in the second quarter of 2026 was 22.2%, a decrease of 3,570 basis points versus the second quarter of 2025. The reported effective tax rate decrease was driven by the impact of commodity hedges on foreign rate differentials and a one-time increase in tax reserves in the prior year period. The adjusted effective tax rate was 24.2%, a decrease of 860 basis points versus the second quarter of 2025. The adjusted effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2026 reflects a one-time increase in tax reserves in the prior year period.

The Company's second-quarter 2026 results, as prepared in accordance with GAAP, included items negatively impacting comparability of $79.1 million, or $0.36 per share-diluted. For the second quarter of 2025, items positively impacting comparability totaled $217.7 million, or $0.90 per share-diluted.

The following table presents a summary of items impacting comparability in each of the second quarter and six-months ended 2026 and 2025 periods (see Appendix I for additional information):

The following are comments about segment performance for the second quarter of 2026 versus the prior year period. See the schedule of supplementary information within this press release for additional information on segment net sales and profit.

North America Confectionery

Hershey's North America Confectionery segment net sales were $2,173.6 million in the second quarter of 2026, an increase of 4.2% versus the same period last year. Organic, constant currency net sales increased 4.2%, driven by approximately 14 points of net price realization. Volume declined approximately 10 points reflecting price elasticity and normal quarter-to-quarter shipment variability, partially offset by retailer inventory replenishment.

Hershey's U.S. candy, mint and gum (CMG) retail takeaway for the 12-week period ended July 19, 20263 in the multi-outlet plus convenience store channels (MULO+ w/ Convenience) increased 3.7%. For this period, Hershey's CMG share declined compared to the prior year due to increased competitive innovation.

The North America Confectionery segment reported segment income of $705.8 million in the second quarter of 2026, an increase of 40.1% versus the prior year period, resulting in a segment margin of 32.5% in the quarter, an increase of 830 basis points. The segment income and segment margin increases were driven by net price realization, lower net commodity costs, and supply chain productivity and transformation program savings, partially offset by higher logistic expenses.

3 The 12-week period ending July 19, 2026 excludes the impact of the Easter shift.

North America Salty Snacks

Hershey's North America Salty Snacks segment net sales were $387.8 million in the second quarter of 2026, an increase of 22.9% versus the same period last year. The acquisition of LesserEvil contributed approximately 22 percentage points to segment growth in the second quarter of 2026. Organic, constant currency net sales increased  0.6%. Volume increased approximately 4 points, below expectations, as strong innovation and velocity gains were partly offset by execution challenges on multipacks and Dot's pretzels. Net price realization was an approximate 3 point headwind due to higher trade investment behind new item launches.

Hershey's U.S. salty snacks retail takeaway for the 12-week period ended June 28, 2026 in MULO+ w/ Convenience, excluding LesserEvil, increased 6.5% versus the prior year period. This led to further gains in salty snack market share. Organic, constant currency net sales trailed retail takeaway due to supply limitations and the planned reduction of sales to private label customers.

North America Salty Snacks segment income was $62.6 million in the second quarter of 2026, a decrease of 5.9% versus the second quarter of 2025, driven by higher logistic costs, lower net price realization, increased consumer marketing investments, and unfavorable mix, which more than offset benefits from supply chain productivity and higher volume. This resulted in a segment margin of 16.1%, a decrease of 500 basis points versus the prior year period.

International

Second quarter 2026 net sales for Hershey's International segment increased 5.7% versus the same period last year to $225.9 million. Organic, constant currency net sales increased 2.1%. Price realization was approximately 10 points, driven by strategic pricing actions across key markets. Volume decreased approximately 8%, reflecting the impact of price elasticity and the depletion of inventory shipped in the first quarter of 2026 to mitigate geopolitical risk, partially offset by stronger-than-planned demand in Brazil and the UK.

International segment loss was $5.1 million in the second quarter of 2026, a decrease of $24.9 million versus the prior year period driven by increased raw material and manufacturing costs and higher advertising investment, partially offset by net price realization and supply chain productivity and transformation program savings. This resulted in a segment margin of (2.3)%, a decrease of 1,160 basis points versus the prior year period.

Unallocated Corporate Expense

Hershey's unallocated corporate expense in the second quarter of 2026 was $199.7 million, an increase of $20.1 million, or 11.2%, versus the same period of 2025. The year-over-year increase was primarily driven by continued investments in capabilities and technology which more than offset reduced incentive compensation.

Live Webcast

At approximately 7:00 a.m. (Eastern time) today, Hershey will post a pre-recorded management discussion of its second-quarter 2026 results and business update to its website at www.thehersheycompany.com/investors. In addition, at 8:30 a.m. (Eastern time) today, the Company will host a live question and answer session with investors and financial analysts. Details to access this call are available on the Company's website.

Note: In this release, for the second quarter of 2026, Hershey references income measures that are not in accordance with GAAP because they exclude certain items impacting comparability, including gains and losses associated with mark-to-market commodity derivatives, business realignment activities and acquisition and integration-related activities. The Company refers to these income measures as "adjusted" or "non-GAAP" financial measures throughout this release. These non-GAAP financial measures are used in evaluating results of operations for internal purposes and are not intended to replace the presentation of financial results in accordance with GAAP. Rather, the Company believes exclusion of such items provides additional information to investors to facilitate the comparison of past and present operations. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures referenced in this release to their nearest comparable GAAP financial measures as presented in the Consolidated Statements of Income is provided below.

Appendix I

Details of the charges included in GAAP results, as summarized in the press release (above), are as follows:

Derivative mark-to-market (gains) losses: The mark-to-market (gains) losses on commodity derivatives are recorded as unallocated and excluded from adjusted results until such time as the related inventory is sold, at which time the corresponding (gains) losses are reclassified from unallocated to segment income. Since we often purchase commodity contracts to price inventory requirements in future years, we make this adjustment to facilitate the year-over-year comparison of cost of sales on a basis that matches the derivative gains and losses with the underlying economic exposure being hedged for the period.

Business realignment activities: We periodically undertake restructuring and cost reduction activities as part of ongoing efforts to enhance long-term profitability. During the first quarter of 2024, we commenced the Advancing Agility & Automation Initiative to improve supply chain and manufacturing-related spend, optimize selling, general and administrative expenses, leverage new technology and business models to further simplify and automate processes, and generate long-term savings. During the three- and six-months ended 2026 and 2025, business realignment charges related primarily to severance and employee benefit costs, as well as other third-party costs related to this program. 

Acquisition and integration-related activities: During the three- and six-months ended 2026, we incurred costs related to the integration of the acquisition of LesserEvil, LLC into our North America Salty Snacks segment, as well as costs related to the integration of the Sour Strips brand from Actual Candy, LLC into our North America Confectionery segment, including contingent consideration remeasurement adjustments.  During the three- and six-months ended 2025, we incurred costs related to the acquisition of the Sour Strips brand from Actual Candy, LLC into our North America Confectionery segment. 

Tax effect of all adjustments: This line item reflects the aggregate tax effect of all pre-tax adjustments reflected in the preceding line items of the applicable table. The tax effect for each adjustment is determined by calculating the tax impact of the adjustment on the Company's effective tax rate for the period presented, unless the nature of the item and/or the tax jurisdiction in which the item has been recorded requires application of a specific tax rate or tax treatment, in which case the tax effect of such item is estimated by applying such specific tax rate or tax treatment.

Investors will likely focus on freight volumes, pricing and execution of the restructuring plan. ARCB versus JBHT valuation comparison Negative Sentiment: ArcBest reported a second-quarter loss on a GAAP basis, primarily because of restructuring costs.

More DoorDash News Here are the key news stories impacting DoorDash this week:

Positive Sentiment: DoorDash launched DoorDash Air after receiving Federal Aviation Administration Part 135 air-carrier certification. The approval allows the company to conduct commercial drone deliveries in the U.S. and represents a significant regulatory and operational milestone. DoorDash launches in-house drone delivery program after FAA certification Positive Sentiment: The company plans to develop its own aircraft and an end-to-end aerial delivery network that will eventually operate through the DoorDash app. If scaled successfully, drones could reduce reliance on gig-economy labor for certain short- and mid-range orders, potentially improving delivery economics and margins. DoorDash is building its own drone delivery business Positive Sentiment: DoorDash’s internally developed drone service could expand beyond restaurant orders into retail, pharmaceuticals and other time-sensitive, higher-value deliveries. The company already works with Wing and Flytrex, so the in-house program adds another avenue for autonomous-delivery growth. DoorDash is launching a competing drone delivery service Neutral Sentiment: Analysts expect a decline in earnings in DoorDash’s upcoming report, with the company lacking two key indicators typically associated with an earnings beat. This could increase volatility ahead of results. Analysts Estimate DoorDash to Report a Decline in Earnings Negative Sentiment: The drone initiative will require substantial upfront investment in aircraft, infrastructure and regulatory compliance. Those costs could weigh on near-term free cash flow before delivery density is high enough to generate meaningful operating leverage. With DASH trading at a high earnings multiple, investors may demand clear evidence that the program can produce stronger profitability.

Original source text
Expected to Add Approximately $1.7 Billion in Annualized Revenues and Be Immediately Accretive to EPS Upon Closing

, /PRNewswire/ -- Group 1 Automotive (NYSE: GPI) ("Group 1" or the "Company"), a Fortune 250 automotive retailer with 251 dealerships located in the U.S. and U.K., today announced it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire the dealership assets and real estate of Hennessy Automobile Companies ("Hennessy"), significantly expanding the Company's presence in the Atlanta metropolitan market.

"Our cluster strategy has long focused on premium brands in attractive growth markets with high-revenue rooftops where we can leverage scale and expand margins," said Daryl Kenningham, President and Chief Executive Officer of Group 1 Automotive. "Building on a strategy we have executed successfully across our largest markets, including Houston and Boston, this acquisition significantly expands our presence in the growing Atlanta market and creates new opportunities to enhance operational efficiency and deliver attractive, long-term returns. The Hennessy family has a tremendous reputation in Atlanta. We feel privileged to purchase this world class business. We thank the Hennessy family for trusting Group 1 with the transaction."

The transaction includes 10 dealerships, a brand portfolio that contains key luxury and import brands, including Lexus, Jaguar/Land Rover and Porsche, and facilities containing 500 service bays staffed by approximately 280 technicians. It is expected to generate approximately $1.7 billion in annualized revenue and be immediately accretive to the Company's earnings per share upon closing.

This transaction, together with the recent acquisitions of Stone Mountain Honda and Stone Mountain Toyota, will expand Group 1's Atlanta presence from three to 15 dealerships, making the city the Company's second largest market based on revenue and its ninth market in the U.S. with five or more stores.

Atlanta is a robust automotive market with strong fundamentals.

The city's real GDP growth outpaced the national average growth rate by over 50% from 2014 to 20234 and the average household income within Hennessy's markets specifically is approximately $150,000 per year5.

"For 62 years, our family company has been a cornerstone of the Atlanta automotive community, excelling in vehicle sales, servicing and leasing," said Peter Hennessy.

SiteOne zvýšila tržby i upravenou EBITDA, celoroční výhled potvrdila
SITE SiteOne Landscape Supply
FMP Stock News 86
Original source text
The Selloff In SiteOne Landscape Supply Is Overextended SiteOne Landscape Supply NYSE: SITE reported second-quarter 2026 net sales growth of 5% and adjusted EBITDA growth of 5%, as pricing, acquisitions and commercial initiatives helped offset softer demand in key end markets.

Get SITE alerts:

Net sales rose to approximately $1.53 billion from $1.46 billion a year earlier. Organic daily sales increased 1%, reflecting a 3% pricing contribution that more than offset a roughly 2% decline in organic volume. Acquisitions completed in 2025 and 2026 added about $49 million, or 3%, to quarterly sales growth.

SiteOne Landscape Supply Company Breaks To New HighsNet income attributable to SiteOne increased 8% to $139.3 million, while adjusted EBITDA rose to $237.2 million from $226.7 million. Adjusted EBITDA margin was unchanged at 15.5%.

Soft Demand Weighs on Volumes Chairman and CEO Doug Black said the company delivered solid results despite difficult market conditions, citing weakness in new residential construction and repair and upgrade activity. SiteOne expects new residential landscaping demand, which represents 20% of sales, to decline by high single digits for the full year. Repair and upgrade demand, representing 30% of sales, is expected to fall by mid-single digits.

SiteOne Landscape Supply Grows To New High Black said new residential construction was particularly weak in Sun Belt markets including California, Arizona and Texas, while conditions were stronger in the Midwest. He also described repair and upgrade weakness as broad-based, with hardscapes and lighting serving as indicators of softer remodeling activity.

“We believe that the ongoing energy volatility, higher interest rates, weak consumer confidence, and increased macroeconomic uncertainty are collectively having a negative effect” on new residential construction and repair and upgrade markets, Black said.

Maintenance demand, which accounts for 36% of sales, has remained relatively steady, though the company said higher fertilizer prices temporarily reduced volumes among customers operating under fixed budgets. New commercial construction, representing 14% of sales, is expected to remain flat in 2026, according to management.

Margins Improve as Pricing and Private Brands Gain Gross profit increased 6% to approximately $565 million, and gross margin expanded 50 basis points to 36.9%. The company attributed the improvement to price realization, growth in private-brand products and sales gains among small customers.

Pro-Trade private-brand sales increased nearly 50% year over year during the quarter. Black said sales of the company’s Pro-Trade, Solstice and Portfolio private brands collectively grew 40%. SiteOne also reported that digital sales through siteone.com rose more than 50% year to date, while regular active users increased about 40%.

Organic daily sales of agronomic products increased 5%, supported by 4% pricing and 1% volume growth. Landscaping product sales were flat organically, with 3% pricing offset by weaker demand in residential construction and repair and upgrade categories.

Pricing was positive across most categories, though grass seed and PVC pipe prices declined 9% and 4%, respectively, during the quarter. Chief Financial Officer Eric Elema said grass seed price increases took effect in July and are expected to provide a low- to mid-single-digit pricing benefit in the second half. PVC price increases implemented in the second quarter are also expected to contribute in the back half.

Selling, general and administrative expenses rose to approximately $371 million. SG&A as a percentage of sales increased 30 basis points to 24.2%, driven by modest organic growth, healthcare costs and fuel inflation. Acquisitions accounted for about half of the year-over-year increase in SG&A, Elema said.

The company said fuel surcharges implemented near the end of the first quarter helped offset higher delivery costs. Black said increased fuel costs added approximately 15 basis points to SG&A as a percentage of sales, with an offsetting benefit to gross margin.

Capital Returns and Acquisition Activity SiteOne repurchased approximately 797,000 shares for about $94 million during the second quarter at an average price of $117.63 per share. After the quarter ended, it repurchased another 101,000 shares for approximately $10 million. Through July, year-to-date repurchases totaled 1.053 million shares for about $124 million.

The company ended the quarter with net debt of approximately $556 million and net debt to trailing 12-month adjusted EBITDA of 1.3 times. Available liquidity totaled roughly $530 million, including $87 million in cash and $443 million of borrowing capacity under its asset-based lending facility. During the quarter, SiteOne amended the facility and extended its maturity to April 2031.

SiteOne completed two acquisitions earlier this year representing approximately $110 million in trailing 12-month sales, including Reinders, a Midwest supplier of irrigation, agronomics and lighting products. The company did not close an acquisition during the second quarter but said its pipeline remains active and it expects additional deals during the remainder of 2026.

Management said Reinders’ integration is on track, with initial purchasing, product and system synergies underway. Full systems integration is expected in early 2027, while distribution, logistics and branch optimization opportunities are expected to create benefits over multiple years.

2026 Outlook Maintained SiteOne expects full-year organic daily sales growth to range from flat to up 1%, supported by anticipated pricing growth of about 3%. The company expects gross margin to exceed 2025 levels and SG&A as a percentage of sales to be approximately flat for the full year as cost actions and operational initiatives offset fuel and other inflation.

Management expects adjusted EBITDA margin expansion despite the softer volume environment. SiteOne reaffirmed its full-year adjusted EBITDA outlook of $425 million to $455 million, excluding contributions from unannounced acquisitions. The forecast includes an expected $4 million to $5 million negative impact from the extra week in fiscal 2026, which falls during the company’s seasonally slow December period.

Black said the company has opened six greenfield locations so far in 2026 and remains on pace to pursue roughly five to 10 annually, while being selective in weaker local markets. He also said SiteOne’s branch consolidation efforts have retained more than its targeted 80% of sales transferred to nearby locations.

Cramer radí čekat na výsledky hospodaření SpaceX a konec lock-upu
SPCX SpaceX
FMP Stock News 78
Original source text
SpaceX stock NASDAQ:SPCX has lost almost half its value since reaching a high of $225.64 on June 16, turning the excitement surrounding the listing into a lesson about valuation and share supply.

The stock closed Wednesday at $112.55, around 17% below its $135 IPO price and 50.2% beneath the peak.

More than $1 trillion in market value has disappeared despite progress in Starship testing and demand for launch and Starlink services.

Jim Cramer remains optimistic about SpaceX’s long-term prospects, but he believes investors planning a large purchase should wait until after the company reports earnings and the first insider lock-up expires.

SpaceX will publish its first quarterly results as a public company on August 4. Two days later, roughly 911.5 million restricted shares are expected to become eligible for trading.

IPO lock-ups prevent founders, employees and early investors from selling their holdings.

Their expiration does not guarantee that every eligible share will be sold, but it increases the available supply and can pressure prices when demand is already fragile.

Cramer said investors could “maybe buy a little” before the event, according to CNBC, but urged anyone considering a major position to wait.

His concern is that an encouraging earnings report may struggle to offset the prospect of more stock entering the market.

SpaceX used a staggered lock-up structure rather than a conventional single 180-day restriction.

Further portions will become tradable over the following months, keeping the supply overhang alive beyond August.

That makes Cramer’s argument about timing rather than the company’s direction.

Strong results could spark a rebound, but disappointing financial details combined with insider selling could push the shares closer to $100.

Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas maintained an Overweight rating and a $300 target.

Barron’s reported that he values SpaceX’s established launch and broadband operations at about $136 a share.

Jonas argued that a price near $100 would effectively assign no value to the company’s artificial-intelligence operations.

That could create an opportunity if SpaceX turns its computing infrastructure, xAI relationship and proposed orbital data centres into durable revenue.

Raymond James analyst Brian Gesuale has taken an even more aggressive position, assigning a Strong Buy rating and an $800 target.

The Financial Times reported that the forecast assumes SpaceX becomes a foundational platform spanning launch, satellite communications, national security and AI infrastructure.

The bearish case is that SpaceX still carries a valuation supported heavily by future businesses.

Starlink must produce durable margins, Starship must achieve reliable reusability and AI investments must generate enough revenue to justify enormous capital needs.

CFRA Research analyst Keith Snyder initiated coverage with a Sell rating and a $115 target.

Business Insider reported that Snyder admired the company’s vision but believed its financial disclosures did not yet justify the valuation.

HSBC analyst Nicolas Cote-Colisson also started coverage with a Hold rating and a $115 target, reflecting confidence in SpaceX’s launch leadership but caution over its broader ambitions.

The August 4 report must provide evidence on cash burn, Starlink economics, capital expenditure and the timeline for emerging AI projects.

Positive Sentiment: Microsoft reported fiscal Q4 revenue of approximately $90.0 billion, up 18% year over year and above the $87.6 billion consensus estimate. Adjusted earnings of $4.74 per share also exceeded expectations of $4.21, marking the company’s 14th consecutive “double beat.” Microsoft Q4 Earnings and Revenues Top Estimates Positive Sentiment: Azure revenue grew 43%, exceeding analysts’ expectations of roughly 40%, and the cloud platform surpassed $100 billion in annual revenue. The results eased concerns that Microsoft’s AI infrastructure investments may be outpacing customer demand. Microsoft Tops Quarterly Cloud Growth Estimates Positive Sentiment: Microsoft said Microsoft 365 Copilot reached 30 million paid seats, providing evidence of growing monetization for its AI products. The company also recorded a $3.2 billion gain from its Anthropic investment, although returns from its OpenAI investment were more mixed. Azure Crosses $100 Billion in Annual Revenue Positive Sentiment: Microsoft maintained its AI capital-expenditure outlook rather than following Alphabet’s recent increase.

Microsoft překonal tržby, Meta zklamala výhledem
MSFT Microsoft
FMP Stock News 78
Original source text
Microsoft shares jumped in premarket trading while Meta tanked as investors gave differing verdicts on the two tech giants' earnings.

Shares of Microsoft were last 8% higher while Meta was down 8.5%.

On Wednesday, Microsoft posted fiscal fourth-quarter revenue that beat analyst estimates and reported 43% growth at its key Azure cloud business, which was also ahead of market expectations.

The company said that it now has over 30 million paid seats for Microsoft 365 Copilot, its AI work assistant, up from more than 20 million as of April, in further signs that parts of its AI investments are paying off.

"Microsoft's strong revenue performance, combined with accelerating Copilot adoption, signals that its $190 billion data‑center buildout is beginning to deliver returns," Tracy Woo, principal analyst at Forrester, said in a note on Wednesday.

Microsoft's stock popped even as the company reiterated its 2026 capital expenditure forecast and signaled a potential spending expansion in its 2027 fiscal year at a time when the market is jittery over the cost of AI.

The stock rose 8% higher in extended trading on Wednesday and is down around 24% this year.

Microsoft and Meta shares this year.

It was a different story for Meta. The social media giant missed investor expectations on earnings and its revenue guidance for the current quarter.

Meta said it expects revenue this quarter of between $61 billion and $64 billion, or $62.5 billion at the middle of the range. Analysts were expecting guidance of $63.15 billion, according to LSEG.

At the same time, Meta's free cash flow plunged 91% year-on-year to $784 million as it continues to spend on AI investments.

Meta's shares slid in extended trading on Wednesday and are down around 16% this year.

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said the company is "getting a lot of offers for compute at a significant premium" over what the company paid for it. This would be a change of direction for Meta if it begins leasing out its excess computing capacity to third parties. However, there were very few details on what this business could look like.

At the same time, Zuckerberg acknowledged that the company will need to keep compute resources for itself to develop new products.

"Right now, the narrative from Mark Zuckerberg is a little light on detail and relying on what could be done in the future," Ben Barringer, head of technology research at Quilter Cheviot, said in a note on Thursday.

"Meta still has a crucial role to play in the AI world, but it is still finding its way somewhat and that is why we see both costs and revenues looking a little volatile."

POSCO zvýšilo zisk, argentinská lithiová divize poprvé v plusu
PKX POSCO
FMP Stock News 88
Original source text
POSCO NYSE: PKX Holdings reported higher second-quarter earnings as profit improved across its steel, rechargeable battery materials and energy businesses, while its Argentina lithium operation posted its first quarterly operating profit.

The company recorded consolidated revenue of KRW 19.3 trillion in the second quarter of 2026, up KRW 1.4 trillion from the prior quarter. Operating profit rose 16% sequentially to KRW 819 billion, while quarterly EBITDA totaled KRW 1.9 trillion. Capital expenditures were KRW 2 trillion during the quarter and KRW 3.7 trillion for the first half.

Get POSCO alerts:

Seung-Jun Kim, head of Finance and IR at POSCO Holdings, said the results were achieved despite energy-supply risks associated with the Middle East conflict and continued weakness in the Korean won. He said profit increased from the prior quarter in each of the company’s major steel, rechargeable battery materials and energy segments.

Steel Profit Recovery Expected to Continue POSCO’s steel business increased profit by KRW 58 billion from the prior quarter. The company said rising logistics and energy costs, exchange-rate movements and raw-material volatility created headwinds, but higher production and sales volumes, along with partial price increases, supported a recovery.

POSCO, the company’s steelmaking affiliate, reported separate operating profit of KRW 270 billion, up KRW 60 billion sequentially. Management expects steel performance to improve further in the third quarter as increased production offsets fixed costs and the company pursues higher sales volumes and prices.

Roh Sung-rae, chief of the Marketing Office, said the company expects to take a gradual approach to price adjustments in the second half. In automotive steel, POSCO is negotiating under formula-based pricing and plans to phase in the effects of oil-price movements and other volatility. In shipbuilding, where demand remains strong, the company plans to continue reflecting cost variables in prices. Home-appliance steel pricing remains more conservative as production shifts toward Southeast Asia, he said.

On European trade conditions, the company said Europe accounts for roughly 10% to 15% of POSCO’s total exports, depending on the year. POSCO said it is working through government discussions to minimize the impact of quota reductions and plans to focus on higher-margin products in Europe. It also said it would shift volumes to other markets if necessary.

The company completed its 2.5 million-ton electric arc furnace, or EAF, in Gwangyang in June. During the early operating period, it plans to blend molten iron from blast furnaces and the EAF to make general-purpose steel, while continuing development work on higher-grade products, including automotive and electrical steel. POSCO said the facility is intended to help address European carbon-border and environmental regulations.

Management said the EAF’s cost is included in its second-half business outlook. The company is testing supplies of carbon-reduced steel with global original equipment manufacturers and energy companies, and expects that a premium market for such products can help offset higher costs. It said profitability should improve as utilization rises and production of higher-grade products expands.

Lithium Business Reaches Milestones The rechargeable battery materials business returned to an operating surplus for the first time in nine quarters, reporting operating profit of KRW 41 billion. POSCO Argentina recorded operating profit of KRW 11 billion, its first quarterly profit since incorporation, as sales volume climbed 160% from the first quarter and revenue rose 290%.

POSCO expects a temporary slowdown in Argentina during the third quarter because winter conditions in the Southern Hemisphere reduce pond evaporation and the company is replacing LP dryer equipment. Plant 1 is expected to resume full operation in the fourth quarter, when sales of certified products are also expected to begin. Management said uncertified products may be sold at about a 10% discount, making certification an important potential driver of profitability.

Plant 2 in Argentina is in its initial operating stage and is scheduled for full commissioning in October. The company said Plant 1 should be able to offset initial ramp-up costs at Plant 2 in the fourth quarter and potentially exceed its second-quarter performance.

POSCO Pilbara Lithium Solution increased revenue to KRW 102 billion and reduced its operating loss to about KRW 1 billion. However, management said its margins remain sensitive to the price spread between spodumene and lithium hydroxide, which is currently unfavorable. The company said it will monitor market conditions and respond as needed.

POSCO is also evaluating further lithium expansion. Management said it plans to conduct a pre-feasibility study for Argentina phases three and four by the end of 2026 and expects a final investment decision by the end of 2027. Those phases would target lithium carbonate production rather than lithium hydroxide.

Infrastructure, Restructuring and Safety POSCO International delivered its highest quarterly and first-half operating profit, with profit up 22% from the prior quarter. Higher selling prices and favorable foreign exchange in Myanmar gas fields, expansion of the Senex gas field, and newly acquired Indonesian palm production supported the results.

POSCO E&C reported operating profit of KRW 44 billion for the second quarter and KRW 97 billion for the first half, recovering from a KRW 452 billion temporary loss last year.

The company said 12 restructuring projects completed during the first half generated KRW 475.4 billion in additional cash. These actions included divestments of Chinese steel operations, including POSCO-CSPC, QPSS and the FCS processing center. POSCO Holdings expects restructuring initiatives to generate KRW 3.5 trillion in free cash flow by 2028.

Management also addressed a fatality at construction affiliate POSCO E&C in June. The company said it is strengthening safety management and, with safety adviser dss+, is assessing safety risks across 33 group affiliates. It plans to identify risks and corrective action plans by October.

Stellantis se vrátila k zisku, tržby vzrostly o 13 procent
STLA Stellantis
Patria Stock News 92
Original source text
Automobilová skupina Stellantis ve druhém čtvrtletí potvrdila postupné zotavování po loňském mimořádně náročném roce, když se vrátila k čistému zisku a zvýšila tržby o více než desetinu. Hlavním motorem obratu zůstává severoamerický trh, kde automobilka výrazně posílila prodeje i výnosy, zatímco evropské aktivity nadále čelí slabší poptávce a nutnosti restrukturalizace.

Evropsko-americká automobilová skupina Stellantis se ve druhém čtvrtletí vrátila k zisku. Čistý zisk za duben až červen činil 293 milionů eur (7,1 miliardy Kč) po ztrátě 1,9 miliardy eur ve stejném období předchozího roku. Hospodaření podpořil hlavně důležitý severoamerický trh, v Evropě je stále podnikání slabé. Vyplývá to z dnešní tiskové zprávy společnosti.

Tržby se zvýšily o 13 procent na 43,5 miliardy eur, přičemž v Severní Americe o 32 procent. V Evropě tržby stagnovaly. Provozní zisk stoupl trojnásobně na 773 milionů eur. Analytici dotazovaní agenturou Reuters však očekávali zisk až 914 milionů eur.

Stellantis ve druhém čtvrtletí pokračovala ve zlepšování výsledků, k čemuž výrazně přispěl severoamerický trh a pozitivní vývoj i v dalších regionech, uvedl generální ředitel Antonio Filosa. Dodal, že automobilka zlepšila hlavní finanční ukazatele, zejména tržby a provozní zisk. Filosa loni převzal vedení s cílem obnovit finanční kondici automobilky po ztrátovém roce 2025 a v květnu představil pětiletý ozdravný plán. Ten počítá s investicemi 60 miliard eur, zaměřením na Severní Ameriku a snížením výrobních kapacit v Evropě.

Stellantis vznikla začátkem roku 2021 spojením italsko-americké automobilové skupiny Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) a francouzského konkurenta PSA. Skupina zahrnuje 14 značek, včetně značek Fiat, Opel, Citroën, Peugeot, Alfa Romeo, Jeep a Ram.

Stellantis loni vykázal rekordní ztrátu 22,3 miliardy eur, kterou způsobily náklady spojené s odklonem od dosavadní strategie v oblasti elektromobilů. Automobilka přehodnotila své plány kvůli slabší než očekávané poptávce po elektromobilech v Evropě a zrušení podpory jejich nákupu ve Spojených státech.

BMW snížilo zisk o 35 procent kvůli Číně
BMW BMW
Patria Stock News 92
Original source text
BMW ve druhém čtvrtletí čelilo výraznému zhoršení hospodaření, když zisk před zdaněním meziročně klesl o 35 %. Hlavním problémem zůstává čínský trh, kde se prodeje automobilky propadly téměř o třetinu pod tlakem domácích výrobců a měnících se spotřebitelských preferencí. Vedení upozorňuje na náročné podmínky v automobilovém průmyslu a připravuje další opatření ke zvýšení efektivity, včetně plánovaného snižování počtu zaměstnanců v Německu.

Zisk před zdaněním německého výrobce luxusních aut BMW ve druhém čtvrtletí klesl o 35 procent na 1,7 miliardy eur (41,1 miliardy Kč). Výsledky negativně ovlivnil prudký propad prodeje v Číně a pokles spotřebitelské důvěry na Blízkém východě. Výnosy klesly o 7,9 procenta na 31,3 miliard eur. Oznámila to společnost v dnešní tiskové zprávě.

V segmentu osobních automobilů se provozní zisk propadl o více než 60 procent na 629 milionů eur. Provozní zisk v segmentu finančních služeb stoupl o 9,5 procenta na 647 milionů eur. BMW tak ve druhém čtvrtletí vydělala více na financování a leasingu vozů než na jejich výrobě, což je pro automobilku nezvyklá situace.

Největší problémy má BMW v Číně. Největší automobilový trh světa, který byl dříve pro mnichovskou automobilku spolehlivým zdrojem vysokých zisků, se nyní stal slabým místem. Prodeje na čínském trhu výrazně klesají a zároveň tam sílí konkurence domácích automobilek. Ve druhém čtvrtletí se prodej BMW v Číně propadl téměř o třetinu. Již v červnu automobilka snížila výhled zisku na letošní rok, zejména kvůli horším výsledkům v Číně.

"Automobilový průmysl čelí rychle se stupňujícím výzvám - intenzivní globální konkurence, rostoucí regionální regulační požadavky a dopady geopolitických konfliktů budou v nadcházejících letech utvářet náš obchodní model," uvedl generální ředitel Milan Nedeljković s tím, že je důležité udržet firmu efektivní a schopnou rychle reagovat na změny. Finanční ředitel Walter Mertl dodal, že konkurence na globálním automobilovém trhu se zostřila a je potřeba snížit náklady.

Společnost však potvrdila celoroční výhled na celý letošní rok. Ten předpokládá provozní marži v segmentu osobních automobilů v rozmezí jeden až tři procenta. Ve druhém čtvrtletí se marže snížila na 2,3 procenta z 5,4 procenta loni.

BMW se dlouhou dobu vypořádávala s krizí o něco lépe než zbývající velké německé automobilové koncerny - Volkswagen a Mercedes-Benz. Nyní se situace mění a rychlý obrat zatím není na dohled. Hospodářské výsledky ve druhé polovině roku negativně ovlivní náklady na plánovanou restrukturalizaci a ani podmínky na globálním automobilovém trhu nejsou natolik příznivé, aby bylo možné očekávat rychlé zotavení, varovala agentura DPA.

Přední světové agentury s odvoláním na své zdroje ve středu informovaly, že BMW plánuje do konce roku 2027 zrušit v Německu 8000 pracovních míst. Snižování počtu zaměstnanců se má uskutečnit formou programu dobrovolného odchodu. Po celém světě má BMW zhruba 154.000 zaměstnanců, z toho v Německu 84.000.

Key CoStar Group News Here are the key news stories impacting CoStar Group this week:

Positive Sentiment: CoStar reported second-quarter adjusted earnings of $0.32 per share, above the $0.29 consensus estimate, while revenue increased 18.4% year over year to $925 million. Net income rose sharply, adjusted EBITDA more than doubled, and the residential segment became profitable, signaling improving operating leverage. CoStar Group Q2 2026 Results Positive Sentiment: Full-year 2026 EPS guidance of $1.32 to $1.39 is above the roughly $1.29 analyst consensus, which may support the longer-term investment case despite near-term concerns. Net new bookings also rose 3% sequentially to $69 million. Positive Sentiment: JPMorgan, BTIG and Needham maintained bullish ratings, although each lowered its price target. Their revised targets still imply substantial upside from recent trading levels, suggesting analysts view the selloff as excessive relative to CoStar’s growth prospects. Neutral Sentiment: Apartments.com reported that U.S. apartment rents were essentially flat in July, rising 0.03% to a national average of $1,747. The eighth consecutive monthly increase is modestly encouraging for CoStar’s residential marketplace, but the limited growth indicates a muted near-term housing backdrop.

The outlook raises concerns about slower growth and contributed to the negative reaction following earnings. Negative Sentiment: Several firms reduced their targets, including JPMorgan to $52, BTIG to $42, Needham to $40, Citizens JMP to $35 and Keefe, Bruyette & Woods to $29.

The Energy Trade Is Bigger Than Oil Prices: 3 Stocks to Buy and 2 to SellProPetro NYSE: PUMP reported second-quarter 2026 revenue of $306 million, up 13% from the prior quarter, while its net loss widened to $8 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, from a $4 million loss in the first quarter. Adjusted EBITDA rose 23% sequentially to $45 million, equal to 15% of revenue.

Chief Executive Officer Sam Sledge said the company’s underlying completions business remained resilient and generated free cash flow despite operational disruptions during the quarter. Those headwinds included severe June weather in the Permian Basin, costs associated with increasing the active frac fleet count from 11 to 12, and unexpected downtime on a temporary customer project outside the Permian.

“Standing up a new fleet requires upfront maintenance and deployment costs before the full earnings benefit is realized,” Sledge said. The temporarily relocated fleet has since returned to the Permian Basin.

Completions outlook and fleet expansion ProPetro said it plans to activate a 13th frac fleet, which is expected to begin contributing near the end of the third quarter. Sledge said the fleet will serve a new blue-chip exploration and production customer and represents an addition beyond the company’s expectations entering the year.

President and Chief Operating Officer Adam Muñoz said redeploying a fleet generally takes roughly 60 to 90 days. Sledge said ProPetro does not currently intend to add a 14th fleet, citing higher redevelopment costs, the need for portfolio optimization, and a need for further pricing gains and customer contract demand before making such an investment.

Management said it sees a tighter market for completion services in the Permian. Sledge said the basin is operating at roughly a mid-70s active frac-fleet count and that raising the count above the mid-80s would require meaningful investment in new growth capacity rather than replacement equipment. He said there are very few readily available fleets in the market.

The company expects pricing and recontracting opportunities as contracts on much of its active horsepower come up for renewal in the next six to nine months. Management said a significant share of those fleets use next-generation natural gas-burning equipment, which it said remains in strong demand amid the spread between diesel and natural gas prices.

Sledge also said customer planning activity has increased, with some larger public operators bringing forward requests for proposals for 2027 work. He said ProPetro intends to maintain a mix of dedicated contracts and operational flexibility rather than placing all capacity under long-term commitments.

PROPWR adds contracted capacity ProPetro’s PROPWR power-generation business increased contracted capacity to approximately 350 megawatts, up from about 240 megawatts at the time of the company’s prior earnings call. The increase included about 110 megawatts across two projects: one for a leading integrated upstream operator in the Permian and another for an industrial customer.

The company is also in advanced contract negotiations for more than 100 megawatts of additional oil-and-gas-related power capacity. Management said contracts in oil and gas and industrial applications tend to have shorter initial terms than data-center arrangements but offer attractive pricing and returns.

Travis Simmering, president of PROPWR, said one newly contracted Permian microgrid project is close to 100 megawatts and is designed primarily for production-related power needs rather than hydraulic fracturing. He said the company sees additional opportunities with large upstream operators and midstream companies in areas without grid connectivity.

While oil and gas and industrial projects are contributing to near-term earnings, management said it still expects most future PROPWR capacity to serve data centers. The company has a 60-megawatt data-center project operating live and meeting performance obligations, according to Sledge. Simmering said the project began operating ahead of schedule after the company met its targeted deployment timeline.

PROPWR generated positive EBITDA in each of the final two months of the second quarter, management said. The company expects the business to contribute increasingly meaningful earnings in the second half of 2026 and into 2027 as more assets are deployed.

Management said its data-center pipeline includes several hundred megawatts in advanced negotiations, though it acknowledged that long-term agreements can take time because they involve substantial capital commitments, project scheduling, and risk-allocation discussions. Sledge said most data-center contract discussions begin at terms of 10 years, with many extending beyond that period.

Capital spending, liquidity and financing Cash flow from operating activities totaled $66 million in the second quarter, compared with $3 million in the prior quarter. Chief Financial Officer Caleb Weatherl attributed the improvement to higher adjusted EBITDA and working-capital benefits. Working capital provided roughly $20 million of cash in the second quarter, compared with a $32 million use of cash in the first quarter.

Capital expenditures paid totaled $61 million, while capital expenditures incurred were $71 million. Of the incurred total, approximately $24 million supported the completions business and $47 million supported PROPWR equipment orders.

ProPetro lowered its full-year 2026 capital expenditure guidance to $525 million to $595 million from a prior range of $540 million to $610 million. The company now expects completions capital spending of $125 million to $145 million, down from $140 million to $160 million, primarily because one planned buyout of a FORCE electric fleet has shifted into early 2027.

PROPWR capital expenditures are still expected to total approximately $400 million to $450 million in 2026. The company maintained its expected PROPWR equipment cost of roughly $1.4 million to $1.5 million per megawatt, including balance-of-plant costs. ProPetro expects to complete one electric-fleet buyout late in 2026, about three in 2027, and one in 2028. As of June 30, ProPetro held $784 million in cash and cash equivalents, including proceeds from its May issuance of $690 million in convertible senior notes. Total liquidity was $905 million, including $121 million of unused borrowing capacity under its asset-based lending facility. Borrowings under the company’s Caterpillar Financial Services financing agreement stood at $130 million, and that facility was recently expanded to $167 million.

Sledge said ProPetro has raised approximately $1.5 billion over the past 18 months to support PROPWR’s expansion and does not see a near- to medium-term funding need, though management will continue to assess capital-raising opportunities.
