According to reports, the company achieved earnings per share (EPS) of $1.31, surpassing the analyst consensus of $0.90, while total revenue reached $194.02 million against an estimated $175 million.

Operational metrics showed significant growth, with income from operations rising 20.2% to $34.00 million compared to the same period in 2025.
