From the latest earnings call

Updated

  • CEO Matt Flannery said large projects across several end markets were driving growth and expected that momentum to continue through the rest of 2026 and into 2027.
  • CFO Ted Grace said productivity gains and delivery efficiencies were helping offset inflation in labor, parts and freight, while restructuring was not a major driver of margin improvement.

Total pay is as the Summary Compensation Table states it; actually paid revalues the year’s share awards at its end, as the SEC’s pay-versus-performance rule asks. $100 invested is what $100 in the company’s shares at the start of the earliest year shown was worth at each year’s end. Ownership is the proxy’s own table: the directors and officers as a group, and every holder of 5% or more. Read the proxy statement
