Earnings Call Q3 2026
November 6, 2026 - AI Summary
Q3 performance: strong broad-based growth
- Sales were $1.1B, +6% YoY (both USD and local currency); organic local currency growth +6%.
- Organic sales by region: Americas +3%, Europe +2%, Asia/Rest of World +13%, including China +13%.
- By product area: Laboratory +6%, Industrial +6% (incl. Core Industrial +5%, Product Inspection +8%), Food Retail -2%; Service revenue +7%.
- Profitability: gross margin 59.8% (+60 bps YoY); adjusted operating margin 30.5% (+40 bps).
- Adjusted EPS $12.57 (+13% YoY); reported EPS $12.29.
Cash flow / cost structure
- Adjusted free cash flow YTD: $652M, impacted by higher tax payment timing (+$72M vs prior year).
- Ex-tax free cash flow per share increased 7% YoY (signals underlying cash generation improving).
Q4 2026 guidance: modest acceleration with clearer regional comps
- Local currency sales growth ~5% (step down from Q3’s 6%).
- Adjusted EPS forecast: $14.84–$15.04 (+11% to +13% YoY); FX expected not to significantly impact at recent spot rates.
- Guidance commentary/assumptions: Q4 pricing expected ~2.5% (similar to Q3), while volume mix/region/product comps drive the deceleration:
- Retail lapping a very strong Q4 prior year (retail had been +19% last Q4; business can be lumpy).
- Product Inspection expected more flattish due to difficult stacked comps after strong year-to-date/strong quarter.
- Lab expected to remain strong (mid–high single digit in Europe/China commentary).
