Applbaum commented, “We delivered a strong start to 2026, including record first-quarter earnings per share, reflecting solid sales growth and margin expansion driven primarily by pricing strength and higher volumes in North America Utility. This performance reflects the team’s focus on value-based pricing, a disciplined commercial approach, and continued progress on our capacity and throughput initiatives. We are advancing our strategy and key value drivers to support sustainable growth and long-term shareholder value. In Infrastructure, demand in North America Utility remains underpinned by long-term investment trends, including rising energy demand, grid modernization, and electrification. As we move through the year, growth is supported by our capacity investments and strong operational and commercial execution. In Agriculture, we are managing through a more cautious near-term market environment, with an emphasis on profitability. We continue to position the business for future growth through investment in aftermarket parts and technology solutions that improve water efficiency and enhance grower productivity.”
