Financial Performance

Adjusted net income was $78.8 million, compared to $99.2 million in 2024. Adjusted earnings per share were $0.84, down from $1.02 in the prior year. The decline reflects lower sales volume and tariff-related impacts, partially offset by cost savings and lower incentive compensation expense.
