This 10-Q provides comprehensive financial results for the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2026, detailing the robust performance previously highlighted in the recent 8-K.

The company executed a significant share repurchase program, buying back $125.2 million in stock, and completed a strategic acquisition of Victor Technologies to expand its Payments-as-a-Service offerings.
