  - EPS: $0.44 per share
  - Result: reported results
  source text: Net sales were $1.525 billion, down 8.5 percent from $1.666 billion in 2024. Net sales declines reflect the impact of softer global demand and tariff-related disruptions. Operating income was $92.3 million, versus an operating loss of $37.0 million in 2024, primarily due to non-cash impairment charges of $165.2 million related to goodwill and intangible assets within the Americas segment in the prior year. Restructuring expense associated with our multi-year cost reduction program was $21.6 million, compared to $16.8 million in the prior year. Current year operating income benefited from a net gain on sale of assets of $6.8 million. Adjusted operating income was $153.3 million, down from $189.7 million in 2024. Adjusted operating income decline reflects lower sales volume and tariff-related impacts, which were partially offset by cost savings and lower incentive compensation expense.
