Guidance and outlook
Forward-looking statements, 10-Q filed Nov 3, 2026
- We are maintaining our outlook for low-double-digit total revenue growth supported by mid-single-digit organic revenue growth and a mid-single-digit contribution from acquisitions.
- Our outlook balances the strength of our order book and a healthy pipeline of opportunities across the portfolio in the fourth quarter with prudent consideration of these ongoing dynamics.
- As we continue to invest a significant portion of our new product development into technology-based safety solutions, we anticipate that the historical relationship of research and development expense to net sales will continue to evolve; however, we do not anticipate reductions in the relative level of total spend on research and development activities on an annual basis.
- We expect to make net contributions between $8.0 million and $10.0 million to our pension plans in 2026, which are primarily associated with statutorily required plans in the International reporting segment.
