Earnings Call Summary
Earnings Call Sentiment|Positive
The call was strongly positive: management reported multiple quarterly and annual records (sales, orders, operating income, EBITDA, EPS, and cash flow), improving margins, robust free cash flow and a record backlog, and they provided constructive 2026 guidance (high-single-digit top-line, mid-single-digit organic growth, and EPS +6–9%). Challenges are manageable and largely relate to integration and near-term dilution from recent acquisitions (notably FARO), higher amortization and an elevated tax rate, plus some end-market variability earlier in the year. Given the scale of record results, strong cash conversion, disciplined capital allocation and an active M&A pipeline, the positive operational and financial momentum outweigh the integration- and tax-related headwinds.Company Guidance
