| 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). | $656.1M | +15.4% | +55.8% |
| 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. | $46.9M | -16.5% | +298.0% |
| 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. | +26.6% | +3.1% | +13.5% |
| 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). | +11.2% | +33.9% | +129.6% |
| 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. | +7.1% | -27.6% | +155.5% |
| 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. | $63.6M | +90.7% | -582.1% |
| 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. | +9.7% | +65.3% | -337.9% |
| 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. | 77.8% | -7.1% | +15.3% |
| 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. | 2.78x | -18.2% | -18.5% |
| 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. | $626.7M | +6.2% | +15.1% |
| Metric | Annual (A vs E) | Annual Surprise | Quarter (A vs E) | Quarter Surprise |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| EPS Surprise | 1.97 vs 2.17 | -9.1% | 1.07 vs 1.07 | -0.5% |

Operator: Good day, and welcome to the Douglas Dynamics Second Quarter 2026 Earnings Conference Call. [Operator Instructions] Please note this event is being recorded. I would now like to turn the conference over to Nathan Elwell, Vice President of Investor Relations. Please go ahead. Nathan Elwell: Thank you. Welcome, everyone, and thank you for joining us on today's call. Before we begin, I would like to remind you that some of the comments that will be made during this conference call, including answers to your questions, will constitute forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks that could cause actual results to be materially different. Those risks include, among others, matters that we have described in today's press release and in our filings with the SEC. Please note the quarterly fact sheet can be found on our IR website. Joining me on the call today is Mark Van Genderen, President and CEO; and Sarah Lauber, Executive Vice President and CFO. Mark will provide an overview of our performance, followed by Sarah reviewing our financial results and guidance. After that, we'll open the call for questions. With that, I'll hand the call over to Mark. Please go ahead. Mark Van Genderen: Thanks, Nathan, and welcome to our call, everyone. We're pleased to report that both segments performed well in Q2, resulting in a record quarter for the company. These continued results underscore the strength of our current position in the markets we serve, the positive market conditions we're experiencing today, how well we're operating across almost every facet of our business and ultimately are just a fantastic example of a team effort across the entire company. In the Attachments segment, our team responded exceptionally well to the elevated demand created by last winter's snowfall, delivering strong operational performance. And meanwhile, the Solutions segment delivered another excellent quarter, continuing the pattern of strong results that has characterized the business in recent years. Sarah will share more details shortly. But as a quick summary, 3 key factors have been driving our performance so far this year. First, above-average snowfall last winter created strong preseason demand at Attachments. Second, ongoing robust demand for our municipal-focused products and services and solutions. And third, our teams have really maintained an unwavering focus on execution, meeting near-term customer demand while continuing to advance our long-term strategic priorities. Our performance was strong across the company. Results in the Attachments segment really exceeded our expectations. This gives us the confidence to raise our full year guidance once again, which Sarah will discuss later in the call. Let me walk through our performance by segment, starting with Work Truck Attachments. As you know, our dealers put in preseason orders for the upcoming winter during Q2 each year. I'm pleased to share that very solid retail …
