Q2 FY2026 SG&A expense increased 8.3%, faster than revenue growth of 6.0%, and GAAP net income declined 10.7% to $227.6M. Continued cost growth relative to sales could further pressure operating profitability.

Long-term debt increased 6.2% year over year to $4.0B, while stockholders' equity declined 3.8% to $4.5B. This combination increased the long-term-debt-to-equity relationship to approximately 0.88x, which may reduce balance-sheet flexibility if earnings or cash generation weaken.
Source: 10-Q Balance Sheet (XBRL)
Current assets were $11.1B and current liabilities were $9.5B, resulting in a current ratio of 1.16x. The company has a positive working-capital position, but the modest cushion means changes in inventory, receivables, or vendor-payment timing could affect short-term liquidity.

Basic and diluted EPS both declined 9.8% year over year to $1.65 in Q2 FY2026, reflecting the decline in GAAP net income. Persistently lower earnings per share could constrain internally generated capital available after dividends and investment needs.
