(1) Constant currency sales are a Non-GAAP measure in which the reported net sales are adjusted for the impact of foreign currency changes, which is calculated by translating current period net sales using the comparable prior period's currency exchange rates. The foreign currency impact is the only reconciling item between as reported and constant currency sales.

Cash Flow and Liquidity
Operating cash flow in the second quarter of 2026 was $99 million, compared to $48 million in the second quarter of 2025, primarily due to the receipt of approximately $44 million in tariff refunds and improved management of inventory and accounts payable. Free cash flow, a Non-GAAP measure, in the second quarter of 2026 was $55 million compared to $16 million in the second quarter of 2025. The Company repurchased 1.3 million shares of its common stock for a total of approximately $12 million in the second quarter of 2026. The Company had $239 million of cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2026.
2026 Outlook
The Company is maintaining its 2026 outlook for net sales in the range of $3.5 billion to $3.6 billion and adjusted EPS in the range of $1.40 to $1.50. The benefits of refunds for tariffs are not included in the outlook for 2026 adjusted EPS.
We are unable to present a quantitative reconciliation of our expected earnings per diluted share to expected adjusted earnings per diluted share as we are unable to predict with reasonable certainty and without unreasonable effort, items which may include, but are not limited to, restructuring charges, transformation-related costs, impairment charges, certain tax adjustments, and other significant items. The financial impact of these items is uncertain and is dependent on various factors, including timing, and could be material to our Consolidated Statements of Operations.
