Product Sales Growth and Order Momentum
IT&S product sales grew 6% organically year-over-year (the highest products growth in 10 quarters). Overall second quarter revenue expanded 2% organically, with product order rates growing mid-single digits and gains in each geographic region.
Strong Geographic Product Performance
Americas product revenue grew nearly 6% driving a 4% regional revenue increase; EMEA product revenue expanded 7%; Asia Pacific resumed modest growth with India growing double digits and Australia benefiting from mining and oil & gas recovery.
Other Segment (Cortland) Outperformance
Cortland delivered exceptional growth of 27% in the second quarter due to ongoing success generating new projects.
Innovation and Product Launches
Launched six new products at CONEXPO (including diesel and battery split flow pumps, IntelliLift 2.0 wireless gantry controller, cribbing rooms, updated skid track system, and a lightweight tow jack). Management expects incremental revenue in H2 and meaningful ramp over 12–36 months.
Significant Contract Win
Secured a five-year U.K. North Sea service contract with a major oil and gas company worth several million dollars annually; revenue from this contract is expected to begin in Q4 of fiscal 2026.
Improved Cash Generation and Liquidity
YTD cash flow from operations increased to $29.0M from $16.0M (up $13.0M). Free cash flow expanded from $5.0M in 2025 to $23.0M in 2026 (up $18.0M). Total liquidity was $499.0M and net debt was $89.0M, resulting in net debt/adjusted EBITDA of 0.6x.
Capital Return and Balance Sheet Flexibility
Repurchased $51.0M of stock in the quarter, with roughly $135.0M remaining under the $200.0M authorization; management emphasizes M&A optionality with ample liquidity and unused revolver.
Cost Discipline and SG&A Improvement
Adjusted SG&A declined to 26.4% of revenue from 28.3% a year ago (improvement of ~190 basis points) driven by disciplined cost management and consolidation to a low-cost shared service model.
