  • Non-GAAP diluted EPS was $5.22 versus $1.80 a year earlier; GAAP diluted EPS was $4.55 versus $1.51.
  • Q2 2026 outlook: consolidated sales of $9.15 billion to $9.75 billion and GAAP diluted EPS of $3.91 to $4.11.
  • Operating cash flow was $700 million, partly due to timing of supply chain services cash flows; the company repurchased $25 million of shares in the quarter.
