How to read these numbers
Challenge rate is the share of questions that pushed back, pressed for specifics or questioned management’s assumptions. It describes how questions were asked on the calls tracked here; it does not measure whether any view turned out to be right.
Rounding. Rates are rounded to whole percentages, so a small share can show as 0% even when some questions were challenging. The count beside each rate is exact; “none of N questions” means no question was challenging.
No questions recorded. “—” means there is nothing to calculate: no questions were recorded for that period on the calls tracked here. It does not mean there was no activity.
Fewer than 3 questions. A company-level rate is withheld when fewer than 3 questions were recorded for that company; the questions are still counted everywhere else.
Small samples. Profiles with fewer than 10 questions are marked Limited sample.
Reporting periods. Questions are grouped by the calendar quarter each company’s fiscal reporting period maps to, not by the date of the call. Periods without a calendar mapping are listed separately under their fiscal label.

Calendar 2025 Q4
What exactly is is in embedded in those costs, and how do you expect them to look how do you expect them to look going forward?
Show response
Pinchuk declined to give exact category breakdowns but listed training, brand advertising, software development, and social media capability-building for the 3,400 franchisees. Characterized as investment to emerge from disruption at full strength.
Were you able to give us sort of a a ring fence the size of it and the impact of the year?
Show response
Pinchuk explained 53rd week falls during holiday period, bonanza for financial services ($7M extra interest income) but a modest negative for operating companies as fixed expenses flow with minimal sales. Net impact not significant.
Calendar 2025 Q1
within the Tools Group, are you able to give us a sense of how the demand drop looked throughout the quarter, maybe a bit of cadence
Show response
Pinchuk characterized the quarter as more uniformly weak than typical, with uncertainty present from the start rather than building through the period.
Have you seen any shift in the quarter just with regards to the volume? Is that purely just a harder shift towards this trend, or are you seeing lower demand
Show response
Pinchuk confirmed low-payback items still generating hits (Solus, cart, wrench) but general demand level dropped across all categories. Progress in pivot areas was overrun by broad confidence decline.
Calendar 2024 Q4
if you could add a bit more color on the decline in originations. Is that mostly a function of product mix? Are you seeing customers finance less
Show response
Pinchuk attributed the 5.9% originations decline primarily to lower tool storage sales and noted APOLLO+ at the lower price point shifts more sales to revolving accounts rather than extended credit.

Calendar 2025 Q3
would you ever consider shifting your M&A focus to complement your craft labor pool by acquiring smaller service providers?
Show response
Duke emphasized M&A fills strategic gaps, not capacity. Noted 10 ongoing vertical supply chain projects enhancing capabilities.
Calendar 2025 Q2
has this changed the bidding process at all? Are terms becoming more favorable? And are you able to increasingly be selective on your projects?
Show response
Duke emphasized certainty of self-perform as competitive advantage, noting discussions are longer-term (2026-2028) and improving.
