Management’s own words, often on a non-GAAP, constant-currency, or adjusted basis — so these can differ from the GAAP figures above (e.g. constant-currency revenue growth excludes currency swings).
Revenue grew 12% to $1.06 billion with EPS of $1.24 up 69.9% as C&I surged 28% on data center momentum and the Enercon acquisition brought generator packaging in-house. Data center backlog surged to $700 million+ including a $600 million hyperscaler notice to proceed, and EBITDA margins expanded to 18.3%. Management raised FY2026 guidance from mid-teens to mid-to-high teens growth with EBITDA of 18.5-19.5%.
