The Company’s effective income tax rate was 26.2% for the first quarter of 2026 and 25.7% for the first quarter of 2025. The Company’s income tax expense was $39.7 million for the first quarter of 2026 and $35.9 million for the first quarter of 2025. The increase in income tax expense was primarily attributable to higher income before taxes during the first quarter of 2026 compared to the first quarter of 2025.

The Company had uncertain tax positions, including accrued interest, of $0.5 million on both April 3, 2026 and December 31, 2025, all of which would affect the Company’s effective income tax rate if recognized.
