Strong Revenue Growth Offset by Cost Pressures
Revenue grew 9.4% YoY to $3.98B in Q1 2026, but Cost of Revenue rose faster at 13.8% YoY to $1.88B, compressing Gross Margin from 54.6% to 52.8%. This indicates input cost inflation or unfavorable product mix is outpacing top-line growth.
SG&A Expense Surge Weighing on Operating Income
SG&A expenses increased 12.6% YoY to $1.34B, contributing to a 5.6% decline in Operating Income to $756M despite higher revenues. Operating Margin contracted from 22.0% to 19.0%, signaling elevated investment in selling and administrative functions.
Net Income Declined Sharply by 47.8%
Net Income dropped from $517M to $270M YoY, with EPS (basic and diluted) falling from $0.38 to $0.20. The decline beyond operating income suggests significant below-the-line charges such as higher interest expense, likely tied to the substantial increase in long-term debt.
