Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
See Note 5, Revenue Recognition for the Company's policy for recognizing revenue under Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASC 606") as well as the various other disclosures required by ASC 606.
Leases
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease, or contains a lease, at the inception of the arrangement and determines whether it is an operating or financing lease. Operating and financing leases result in the Company recording a right-of-use ("ROU") asset, current lease liability, and long-term lease liability on its balance sheet. Lease expense for operating leases and amortization expense for finance leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the consolidated balance sheet and are instead recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. See Note 12, Leases, for additional discussion about the Company's policy for accounting for leases and other required disclosures.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Accounting for Stock Compensation ("ASC 718"). ASC 718 requires compensation costs related to stock-based payment transactions to be recognized in the financial statements. Generally, compensation cost is measured based on the grant-date fair value of the equity instruments issued. Compensation cost is recognized over the requisite service period, generally as the awards vest. See further discussion of the Company’s equity plans in Note 13, Stock-Based Compensation.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents that are restricted from operating use are classified as restricted cash. We had $40.1 million and $38.8 million classified as restricted cash as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Receivables
Receivables are stated net of allowances for credit losses of $1.2 million at December 31, 2025, and $1.8 million at December 31, 2024. The Company assesses the collectability of customer receivables based on the credit worthiness of a customer as determined by credit checks and analysis, as well as the customer’s payment history. In determining the allowance for credit losses, the Company also considers various factors including the aging of customer accounts and historical write-offs. In addition, the Company monitors other risk factors, including forward-looking information when establishing adequate allowances for credit losses, which reflects the current estimate of credit losses expected to be incurred over the life of the receivables. Generally, advance payment is not required. Allowances for credit losses established are recorded within selling, general and administrative expenses within the consolidated statements of operations.
Inventories
Inventories are comprised of material, direct labor and manufacturing overhead, and are stated at the lower of cost or market. Market is determined based on estimated net realizable values. The percentage of the Company’s total inventories valued using the Last-In, First-Out ("LIFO") method was 89% and 94% at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. All remaining inventories are valued using the First-In, First-Out ("FIFO") method.
In some cases, the Company has determined a certain portion of inventories are excess or obsolete. In those cases, the Company writes down the value of those inventories to their net realizable value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, adjustments to established inventory reserves may be required. The total write-down of inventories charged to expense was $2.2 million, $11.6 million and $3.4 million, during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are initially stated at cost. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over 10 to 30 years for buildings and improvements, 5 to 10 years for machinery and equipment and 3 to 5 years for computer hardware and software. Where appropriate, the depreciable lives of certain assets may be adjusted to reflect a change in the use of those assets, or depreciation may be accelerated in the case of an eventual asset disposal.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Intangible assets consist of acquired trademarks and tradenames, customer relationships (including distribution network) and patents. The customer relationships, patents, and certain tradenames are being amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of 7 to 20 years, 3 to 13 years and 5 to 20 years, respectively. Where appropriate, the lives of certain intangible assets may be adjusted to reflect a change in the use of those assets, or amortization may be accelerated in the case of a known intangible asset discontinuation.
Goodwill, trademarks and certain tradenames have indefinite lives and are not amortized. However, the goodwill and intangible assets are tested annually for impairment, and may be tested more frequently if any triggering events occur that would reduce the recoverability of the asset. In conducting the annual impairment test for goodwill, the Company has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not (greater than 50% likelihood) the fair value of any reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If a qualitative assessment determines an impairment is more likely than not, the Company is required to perform a quantitative impairment test. Otherwise, no further analysis is required. Alternatively, the Company may elect to proceed directly to the quantitative impairment test. In conducting a quantitative assessment, the Company utilizes a discounted cash flow methodology based on future business projections and a market value approach (guideline public company comparables). The Company performs the goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. If the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit's fair value up to the amount of the recorded goodwill.
During the fourth quarter of the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company completed its annual goodwill and intangible asset impairment tests and elected to perform a qualitative assessment. No goodwill impairment charges were recorded during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, or 2023. During the year ended December 31, 2024, we recorded a $0.6 million impairment charge related to an indefinite-lived tradename no longer used. No intangible asset impairment charges were recorded during the years ended December 31, 2025 or 2023.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The carrying value of long-lived assets, including amortizable intangible assets and tangible fixed assets, are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Impairment of amortizable intangible assets and tangible fixed assets is generally determined by comparing projected undiscounted cash flows to be generated by the asset, or group of assets, to its carrying value. If impairment is identified, a loss is recorded equal to the excess of the asset's net book value over its fair value, and the cost basis is adjusted accordingly. During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, the Company recognized $2.0 million, $7.4 million, and $2.5 million of fixed asset impairment charges, respectively. Impairments are determined utilizing Level 3 inputs within the Fair Value hierarchy, and the Company reviews and considers input from outside specialists, when appropriate. Actual results could vary from these estimates. Refer to Note 11, Fair Value Measurements for additional information.
Product Warranty
The Company offers warranties on the sales of certain of its products and records an accrual for estimated future claims. Such accruals are based upon historical experience and management’s estimate of the level of future claims. The following table presents changes in the Company’s product warranty liability during each of the periods presented (in millions):

Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes are provided for future tax effects attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, net operating losses, tax credits and other applicable carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be actually paid or recovered. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the results of continuing operations in the period that includes the date of enactment.
The Company regularly reviews its deferred tax assets for recoverability and provides a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets if, based upon consideration of all positive and negative evidence, the Company determines that it is more-likely-than-not that a portion or all of the deferred tax assets will ultimately not be realized in future tax periods. Such positive and negative evidence would include review of historical earnings and losses, anticipated future earnings, the time period over which the temporary differences and carryforwards are anticipated to reverse and implementation of feasible, prudent tax planning strategies.
The Company is subject to income taxes in the United States and multiple foreign jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required in determining the Company’s worldwide provision for income taxes and recording the related deferred tax assets and liabilities. In the ordinary course of the Company’s business, there is inherent uncertainty in quantifying the ultimate tax outcome of all the numerous transactions and required calculations relating to the Company’s tax positions. Accruals for unrecognized tax benefits are provided for in accordance with the requirements of ASC 740, Income Taxes ("ASC 740"). An unrecognized tax benefit represents the difference between the recognition of benefits related to uncertain tax positions for income tax reporting purposes and financial reporting purposes. The Company has established a reserve for interest and penalties, as applicable, for uncertain tax positions and it is recorded as a component of the overall income tax provision.
The Company is subject to periodic income tax examinations by domestic and foreign income tax authorities. Although the outcome of income tax examinations is always uncertain, the Company believes that it has appropriate support for the positions taken on its income tax returns and has adequately provided for potential income tax assessments. Nonetheless, the amounts ultimately settled relating to issues raised by the taxing authorities may differ materially from the amounts accrued for each year.
See Note 15, Income Taxes for additional information.
Per Share Data
Basic net income per share from continuing and discontinued operations is computed by dividing net income from continuing operations and income from discontinued operations, respectively, by the corresponding weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per share from continuing and discontinued operations is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, increased by the number of incremental shares that would have been outstanding if the potential dilutive shares were issued through the exercise of outstanding stock options to purchase common shares and the vesting of restricted stock units and performance stock units using the treasury stock method, except when the effect would be anti-dilutive.
There were no common shares with anti-dilutive effects for the year ended December 31, 2025. The computation for diluted net income per share for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 excludes 0.2 million and 0.3 million common shares due to their anti-dilutive effects, respectively.
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss
The changes in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax, for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023 are as follows (in millions):

Foreign Currency Translation
Assets and liabilities of subsidiaries operating outside of the United States with a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates at the end of the respective period. Revenues and expenses of such entities are translated at average exchange rates in effect during the respective period. Foreign currency translation adjustments are included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. Currency transaction (gains) losses totaled $0.7 million, $(0.8) million and $0.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively, and are included in other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of operations.
Advertising Costs
Advertising costs are charged to selling, general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of operations as incurred and amounted to $20.8 million, $18.1 million and $18.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively.
Research, Development and Engineering Costs
Research, development and engineering costs are charged to selling, general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of operations as incurred and amounted to $25.0 million, $25.9 million and $23.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist of cash and temporary investments and trade accounts receivable.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-09 “Income Taxes (Topic 470): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-09”), which establishes new income tax disclosures to consistently categorize and provide greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation, including dollar value and percentage impacts of each component of the reconciliation, as well as further disaggregates income taxes paid. This update is effective for the Company for annual fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company has adopted ASU 2023-09 for the
2025 calendar year prospectively. Because the ASU affects disclosures only, the adoption did not affect the Company’s consolidated statements of operations or consolidated balance sheets.
In November 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2024-03 “Income Statement — Reporting Comprehensive Income — Expense Disaggregation Disclosures: Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses” (“ASU 2024-03”), which is intended to improve disclosures about a public business entity's expenses, primarily through additional disaggregation of income statement expenses. The ASU’s amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2024-03 on the consolidated financial statements.
In September 2025, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2025-06 “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software” ("ASU 2025-06"), which replaces the stage-based capitalization model for the treatment of development costs of internal-use software with a principles-based framework, reflecting modern software development practices. In addition, ASU 2025-06 requires companies to capitalize software costs once management authorizes and commits to funding with probable completion and use. This guidance will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and for interim periods within annual reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, and allows multiple transition methods, including retrospective, prospective, or modified prospective application, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2025-06 on the consolidated financial statements.
