Q4 and full-year 2025 saw record sales, earnings, and margins, driven by strong defense and recovering commercial markets. 2026 guidance projects continued growth, with robust order backlog, healthy cash flow, and a focus on acquisitions and operational excellence.
-
Record Q3 sales, non-GAAP EPS, and free cash flow were achieved, with strong growth in defense and digital imaging segments. Full-year guidance was raised, and robust backlog and contract opportunities support a positive outlook despite minor risks from the U.S. shutdown and China.

Record quarterly sales and double-digit EPS growth were driven by strength in energy, defense, and unmanned systems, with robust order activity and improving margins in key segments. Management remains cautious on short-cycle demand due to trade policy uncertainty but raised full-year guidance.
