Gross margin was 59.7% in the third quarter of fiscal 2026 compared with 55.5% in the third quarter of fiscal 2025. The primary drivers of the increase in the gross margin percentage were the continued transformation of the product portfolio to higher margin offerings, benefits from product innovation, decreased restructuring costs related to portfolio rationalization initiatives, and decreased amortization of fair value inventory step-up. Operating expenses were $135.0 million, up $0.5 million, or 0.4%, compared with the third quarter of fiscal 2025. The increase in operating expenses was driven by higher performance-based compensation.

BALANCE SHEET AND CASH FLOW
Cash on hand as of December 27, 2025 was $363.4 million, an increase of $56.6 million since the end of fiscal 2025, primarily driven by cash flow provided from operating activities, partially offset by cash outflows for share repurchases and strategic investments.
Third quarter fiscal 2026 cash flow from operating activities was $93.6 million, up $49.8 million, or 113.8%, and free cash flow was $74.2 million, up $44.6 million, or 150.9%, each when compared with the same period of fiscal 2025. The primary driver of increased operating cash flow as compared to the same period of fiscal 2025 was favorable working capital adjustments driven by lower inventory purchasing. Free cash flow was also impacted by higher non-cash transfers from inventory, partially offset by lower capital expenditures.
