The biggest changes in the 10-K filed 2025-12-17, this fiscal year against the last, and the sentences in the MD&A (Item 7) where management explains them, quoted word for word. Tickdelta picks sentences that name the line, a direction and a cause. It does not write explanations of its own.

Cash from operations

+29.3% Big change FY to 2025-10-31 vs 2024-10-31

The MD&A has no sentence that names a cause for this change. That can be worth a question: ask about the filing.

Operating margin

25.1% → 25.5% (+0.4 pts) FY to 2025-10-31 vs 2024-10-31

“Consolidated operating profit increased in 2025 compared to 2024 due to the overall increase in segment EBITDA and lower acquisition and related inventory step-up amortization costs partially offset by an increase in severance and other cost reduction costs, depreciation and amortization from recent acquisitions, and divestiture charges associated with the exit of the medical contract manufacturing business.”
