• Robust new-business pipeline: Won ~$210M of annualized new awards this quarter (and $340M in the last 12 months) with >$1B of program extensions in play and management saying ~75% of 2028 production sales are already booked.
• 2026 guidance and key assumptions: Outlook calls for sales of $4.5–$4.9B, adjusted operating margin of 5.5%–6% and free cash flow of $125–$175M, but relies on tariff recoveries, AI/automation savings and the timing of lumpy commercial settlements.
