MG&A expense increased 3.2% year over year in Q2 2026. The increase primarily reflected cycling lower employee incentive costs from the prior year and incremental investments in technology and capabilities. Management expects MG&A to decline year over year in the second half as cost-savings initiatives take effect and spending is redirected toward higher-return brand and commercial opportunities. The company continues to balance technology investment with disciplined expense management.
