Drawn from management commentary in the Q2 2026 10-Q:
Q2 FY2026 net sales rose 14.7% to $2.39B, with management attributing the increase to improved customer contract signings since Q1 2024, product pricing, and a modest improvement in industrial production in the first half of 2026. Product pricing contributed about 290 basis points of sales growth in the quarter, while foreign exchange added about 10 basis points.
Manufacturing represented 75.9% of Q2 FY2026 sales and grew 14.9% on a daily sales basis, while non-manufacturing grew 15.1%. Contract sales, which were 75.8% of total sales, increased 17.6%, materially faster than non-contract sales growth of 7.3%, reflecting continued implementation of customer signings achieved since Q1 2024.
Q2 FY2026 sales through FMI technology increased 16.4% to $1.08B and represented 44.6% of total sales, while Digital Footprint sales rose 16.2% to $1.49B and represented 61.6% of sales. Weighted FASTBin/FASTVend signings were 6,993 MEUs in the quarter, and management set a 2026 goal of 27,000 to 29,000 MEUs, lowered from the prior 28,000 to 30,000 range.
