Adjusted EBITDA increased $4.9M to $54.4M with margin expansion of 120 bps to 29.4%. Software solutions net sales grew 5.0% to $95.2M (51.5% of total). Operating cash flow improved $23.8M to $98.2M; free cash flow improved $26.6M to $85.8M. The company repurchased 146,672 shares for $6.9M. Gross leverage improved to 0.5x; net leverage to 0.4x. Q4 2026 guidance: net sales $175M–$180M; adjusted EBITDA margin 26%–27%.
Why this rating
Modest organic growth (5.5%) with margin improvement and strong cash flow are healthy but incremental. Q3/Q4 guidance implies sequential deceleration (QoQ sales decline ~6%). Relative to $1.6B market cap, $9.7M incremental revenue is ~0.6% of annual run-rate, material but not transformational.
