Forward-looking statements, 10-Q filed Jul 28, 2026
- We expect to finance the acquisition with a combination of cash on hand and committed bridge financing, which we intend to refinance through a permanent debt issuance that we anticipate to be investment grade.
- We expect to close the acquisition of Taco in the fourth quarter of 2026, subject to customary closing conditions and necessary regulatory approvals.
- We expect to continue to execute on our key Transformation Program initiatives to drive margin expansion and to incur transformation costs throughout the remainder of 2026 and beyond.
- As we continue to focus on 80/20 guiding principles in 2026, we expect to create value by increasing focus on key customers and products through quadrant-based strategies.
- We expect this approach to enable improved operating performance by driving margin growth with our highest value customers, reducing lower margin sales and removing complexity in the future.
- We expect these actions to continue throughout the remainder of 2026 and to drive margin expansion.
- While we expect channel inventory levels to improve over time, the timing and pace of normalization remain uncertain and could negatively impact our results of operations.
- In addition, our Transformation Program initiatives are intended to improve productivity and offset cost increases.
- We anticipate that inflationary cost increases and supply chain pressures, including additional or increased tariffs in the future, as well as any related impacts on macroeconomic conditions and our business, will likely persist throughout the remainder of 2026.
- We will continue to monitor these developments and evaluate their potential impact on our business, results of operations, cash flows and future tariff exposure.
- We continue to evaluate the enacted legislative changes and new guidance as it becomes available.
- We expect to continue investing in our businesses to drive these opportunities through research and development and additional sales and marketing resources.
