| Metric | Latest | YoYYoY means Year-over-Year. It compares the latest annual value with the previous annual value to show long-term trend strength. | QoQQoQ means Quarter-over-Quarter. It compares the latest quarter with the immediately previous quarter to show short-term momentum changes. |
|---|---|---|---|
| RevenueThe total money that came through the front door from selling things, before paying a single bill. Think of it as the grand total of every credit card swipe from customers. (YoY compares this year to last year's performance, while QoQ compares the current three months to the previous three). | $554.5M | +4.6% | +10.7% |
| Net IncomeThe absolute bottom line. If the company paid every single supplier, employee, banker, and tax collector, this is the actual money left in their pocket at the end of the day. | $22.0M | +67.4% | +94.0% |
| Gross MarginThe basic markup. If they sell a $100 pair of sneakers, this percentage tells you how much of that price tag is profit right after paying for the rubber and shoelaces, but before paying for things like store rent or TV commercials. | +30.5% | -2.4% | +14.6% |
| Operating MarginThe 'day job' efficiency score. Out of every dollar a customer spends, this shows how many cents the company keeps after making the product AND paying for all the everyday corporate overhead (like salaries, marketing, and keeping the lights on). | +8.7% | +52.8% | +38.5% |
| Net MarginThe final take-home percentage. When you strip away every conceivable cost, tax, and interest payment, this is the exact number of cents the company truly gets to keep from every dollar in sales. | +4.0% | +60.0% | +75.2% |
| Free Cash FlowThe holy grail of corporate cash. It's the spendable, physical money left over after the business pays for its daily operations AND buys the big, expensive upgrades (like new factories or servers) it needs to survive. This is the 'free' money they can use to pay dividends or buy back stock. | $49.7M | +54.5% | +126.0% |
| FCF MarginThe ultimate cash conversion rate. It shows how good the company is at turning regular sales directly into cold, hard, spendable cash. A high percentage means the business is an absolute cash-printing machine. | +9.0% | +47.6% | +104.2% |
| Debt / EquityThe financial risk gauge. It compares how much of the company's empire was built using borrowed money (loans) versus the owners' own money (shareholders). A high number means they are heavily leveraged and playing a riskier game; a low number means they are playing it safe. | 67.2% | -28.5% | -2.5% |
| Current RatioThe 12-month survival check. It simply compares the cash they have right now (plus things they can quickly turn into cash) against the immediate bills they absolutely must pay this year. A score above 1 means they have enough in the wallet to cover the upcoming bills without panicking. | 3.66x | -11.7% | -8.2% |
| Total AssetsThe absolute size of the company's empire. It bundles together absolutely everything of value they own—from the cash in the register and the inventory in the warehouse, to the software patents in the vault and the factories on the ground. | $577.6M | +0.3% | +2.8% |
| Metric | Annual (A vs E) | Annual Surprise | Quarter (A vs E) | Quarter Surprise |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| EPS Surprise | 1.32 vs 2.06 | -35.9% | 0.61 vs 0.73 | -17.0% |

Operator: Greetings, and welcome to the Allient Inc. Second Quarter Fiscal Year 2026 Financial Results Conference Call. [Operator Instructions] As a reminder, this conference is being recorded. It is now my pleasure to introduce your host, Craig Mychajluk, Investor Relations. Thank you. Please go ahead. Craig Mychajluk: Yes. Thank you, and good morning, everyone. We certainly appreciate your time today as well as your interest in Allient. On the call today are Dick Warzala, our Chairman, President and CEO; and Jim Michaud, our Chief Financial Officer. Dick and Jim will review our second quarter 2026 results, provide a strategic and operational update and share our outlook. We'll then open the line for questions. As a reminder, our earnings release and the accompanying slide presentation are available on our website at allient.com. If following along, please turn to Slide 2 for our safe harbor statement. During today's call, we may make forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from those indicated. These risks and factors are outlined in our SEC filings and in the earnings release. We will also discuss certain non-GAAP measures, which we believe will be useful in evaluating our performance. You should not consider the presentation of this additional information in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with GAAP. We have provided reconciliations of non-GAAP to comparable GAAP measures in the tables accompanying the earnings release as well as the slides. With that, please turn to Slide 3, and I'll turn it over to Dick to begin. Richard Warzala: Thank you, Craig, and welcome, everyone. We delivered an excellent second quarter and more importantly, one that further demonstrates the earning power of the model when stronger demand, improved mix and disciplined execution come together. The quality of the quarter was evident across the P&L with strong top line growth, record gross margin and a significant increase in earnings. We also saw excellent order activity with record bookings in the quarter and in the period that resulted in a 1.31x book-to-bill ratio. That gives us improved visibility into the second half of the year and supports a constructive view as we move through 2026. What stands out is not just the magnitude of the quarterly improvement, but the quality of it. We saw broad-based demand across key targeted markets, especially industrial automation, data center and other infrastructure, Aerospace & Defense and Medical applications. At the same time, the operating work we have been doing throughout the organization is increasingly showing up in better margins, better leverage and better earnings conversion. This quarter also enforces the value of the portfolio we have been shaping. We have intentionally positioned Allient toward higher-value motion, controls and power applications where our engineering content is deeper, our customer relationships are …
