Net cash provided by operating activities increased to $240.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, up $110.2 million, or 84.5%, from $130.3 million in the 2025 period. The increase was driven by higher operating earnings, $61 million of tariff-refund cash receipts, and lower current-year cash tax payments. Greater use of cash for working capital partially offset the operating cash-flow improvement. Net cash and cash equivalents declined by $76.5 million during the 2026 six-month period, compared with a $57.7 million decline in 2025.
