【Cautious near-term recovery】 Management remains cautiously optimistic about market conditions while acknowledging near-term uncertainty from geopolitical factors and tariff dynamics. The company expects total sales growth in the range of 3%–5.5% for 2026, with market growth assumed roughly flat and pricing benefits from inflation and tariffs contributing approximately 2% to growth, supplemented by approximately 1% from strategic initiatives and 1% from foreign exchange. Gross margin is expected to expand 40–60 basis points through the year as strategic pricing and sourcing initiatives continue, though cost pressures from inflation, tariffs, and supply chain adjustments are anticipated to partially offset gains. The company expects transformation and cost actions to deliver $100 million–$125 million in benefits during 2026, building sequentially through the year, while depreciation and interest expense headwinds of approximately $0.30 per share are expected to persist as the company continues investing for growth.
