1. Certain aspects of total consideration received have yet to result in cash inflows and outflows and therefore reflect non-cash investing activities within the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the nine months ended June 26, 2026.
2. The Company committed to fund Infra Pipe with a total of $28,000 of cash, $15,000 of which was due upon closing and $13,000 due within 90 days. The deferred portion remained unpaid as of June 26, 2026 and reported within Other current liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 26, 2026 and will be paid in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026. See Note 19, “Subsequent Events” for payment details

During the second quarter of 2026, the Company classified the HDPE business, which was previously included in the Electrical reportable segment, as held for sale. The HDPE business did not qualify as discontinued operations. As a result, the Company measured the assets and liabilities of the HDPE business disposal group at the lower of carrying value or fair value less costs to sell, resulting in a $6,500 goodwill impairment included in Asset impairments and a $25,664 loss included in Other expense (income), net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the nine months ended June 26, 2026.
Upon completion of the sale during the third quarter of 2026, the Company recorded an additional loss of $10,497 included in Other expense (income), net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended June 26, 2026.

The 9.9% equity interest in Infra Pipes was initially recorded at estimated fair value using a discounted cash flow model and is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. See Note 4, “Equity Method Investment” for additional details.

The contingent consideration will be paid if certain financial targets are achieved by Infra Pipes and is recorded as a derivative asset at fair value within Other long-term assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 26, 2026. The initial fair value of the derivative was estimated using a correlated Monte Carlo simulation within an option pricing framework and there was no change in its estimated fair value from initial recognition through quarter end. Accordingly, no gain or loss was recognized during the three and nine months ended June 26, 2026 related to the derivative. See Note 15, “Fair Value Measurements” for details.

The discounted cash flow model and the Monte Carlo simulation used to estimate the fair value of the 9.9% equity interest in Infra Pipes and the contingent consideration include significant unobservable inputs and are therefore classified as Level 3 fair value measurements.
