For the full year, net sales were $797.2 million, down from $833.6 million, and diluted EPS was $2.69 versus $3.17, so profit declined even as the company cited growth in software solutions. The company also authorized a new $150 million buyback and said a new SEC shareholder report rule is expected to be slightly dilutive to 2024 earnings before adding to 2025.
