The company's first-quarter performance demonstrates a strong operational recovery and improved profitability, building on the sequential recovery noted in Q4 2025. The initiation of a quarterly dividend and a substantial share repurchase program signals management's confidence in future cash flow generation and commitment to returning value to shareholders.
