Net interest expense increased 30.7% to $149.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, from $114.0 million in the prior-year period.

Accelerated interest payments related to the special mandatory redemption of the 4.500% 2030 Senior Notes and 5.125% 2036 Senior Notes, together with lower interest income, also contributed. In the third quarter, net interest expense rose 25.6% to $53.0 million from $42.2 million.
