Revenue performance varied across the company's three reportable segments. The Sensors segment generated $115.6 million, a 3.0% year-over-year increase, driven by higher sales of precision resistors and advanced sensors in the Test and Measurement and Avionics, Military & Space (AMS) markets. The Weighing Solutions segment reported $111.1 million in revenue, up 3.7%, mainly due to higher sales in the Transportation market. In contrast, the Measurement Systems segment declined 7.7% to $80.4 million, attributed to decreased revenue in the Steel and AMS markets. Foreign currency exchange effects increased net revenues by $2.8 million for the year. The company's backlog at the end of Q4 2025 was $108.2 million, with a book-to-bill ratio of 1.01 for the quarter.
The company's gross profit margin contracted to 38.9% from 41.0% in the prior year.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses were $109.6 million, or 35.7% of revenue, compared to $107.5 million, or 35.1%, in the prior year.
