Paragraphs with nothing like them in last year's 10-K
10 paragraphs in Risk Factors of the 10-K filed Feb 26, 2026 with nothing like them in the 10-K filed Feb 20, 2025. Quoted exactly. Paragraphs that were only edited are under 10-K change.
Failure to protect our intellectual property could harm our competitive position and business.
Our substantial indebtedness could have significant effects on our operations, including requiring us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow to debt payments and thereby reducing funds available for working capital, capital expenditures, dividends, research and development, and other general corporate purposes. It may also increase our interest expense, particularly with respect to any borrowings under our revolving credit facility which are subject to variable rates, and limit our ability to refinance existing indebtedness or result in higher interest costs if rates rise. In addition, our debt level could negatively affect our credit ratings, increase our vulnerability to adverse economic and industry conditions, and limit our flexibility to respond to changes in our business or industry. Our substantial indebtedness may also restrict our ability to pursue strategic acquisitions, invest in and introduce new technologies, or capitalize on business opportunities, and could place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors with less indebtedness.
For example, on January 22, 2026, we consummated the MMT Acquisition and expect that the MMT Acquisition will result in various benefits, including strategic diversification into medical manufacturing, access to new original equipment manufacturer customer relationships, recurring aftermarket revenue streams, new opportunities for disciplined tuck‑in acquisitions and the application of our operating model to drive margin improvement and cash generation. Achieving the anticipated benefits of the MMT Acquisition is subject to a number of uncertainties, including whether our assets and businesses and the assets and businesses of MMT can be integrated in an efficient and effective manner. The optimization of our operations following the MMT Acquisition will be a complex, costly and time-consuming process and if we experience difficulties in this process, the anticipated benefits may not be realized fully or at all, or may take longer to realize than expected, which could have an adverse effect on us for an undetermined period.
Our attempt to expand our business into new markets and geographies through the MMT Acquisition may not be successful and exposes us to new and different risks.
We opportunistically seek to grow our business through, among other things, expanding into new industries and geographies with diverse product offerings. Our acquisition of MMT represents a significant expansion of our business into
the medical manufacturing industry, where we have limited experience and which operates under different business models, customer and regulatory requirements, and operational processes than our traditional fire safety and specialty products businesses. Our efforts to integrate MMT and expand our offerings into the medical manufacturing market may not succeed due to our lack of experience with that industry and expose us to new and different risks than those presented in our traditional fire safety and specialty products businesses, which could have a material adverse impact on our ability to manage that business and realize the benefits of the MMT Acquisition.
The medical manufacturing business requires very different products and services, sales and marketing channels, and internal operational systems and processes than our current operations. These requirements could disrupt our current operations and divert management attention from our core business. MMT may also operate in geographic markets where we have limited presence, requiring us to establish new distribution channels and customer relationships. There can be no assurance that our expansion into medical manufacturing will develop as anticipated or that we will succeed. If we are unsuccessful, we may be unable to recover our investment and may not realize the anticipated benefits of the acquisition, which could adversely impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Additionally, the industries in which MMT’s customers operate are subject to extensive and complex regulatory oversight, including FDA regulations, thereby subjecting MMT to quality management system requirements and medical device regulations that are entirely different from our current regulatory environment. We may not be able to navigate this rapidly evolving regulatory environment or forecast and meet the continually changing regulatory demands.
For MMT, while it does not manufacture finished medical devices or engage in activities subject to FDA establishment registration or device listing requirements, its customers are regulated medical device manufacturers. These customers may require MMT to comply with certain quality management and manufacturing standards, such as FDA and ISO quality system regulations, to support their own regulatory compliance. Failure by MMT to meet these contractual or quality requirements could adversely affect customer relationships or result in loss of business.
We face potential liabilities under environmental, health and safety laws, and changes to these requirements, stricter enforcement, or discovery of contamination at our facilities or sites where our products have been used could materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations.

Financial statements and notes
On July 30, 2026, the Company acquired Monaco Enterprises (“Monaco”), a provider of proprietary, mission-critical life safety and incident management systems for U.S. Government facilities, which is included within the Company’s Fire Safety segment. The acquisition was made to expand the Company’s products and services that support critical and complex customer missions across a range of niche applications. The consideration transferred consisted of $ 117.1 million in cash, net of cash acquired. The Company accounted for the transaction as a business combination under ASC 805 using the acquisition method and recorded the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the condensed consolidated balance sheet, including inventories, intangible assets, property, plant and equipment, and goodwill.

Risk Factors
Disruptions in the supply of P₂S₅ for our North American customers have adversely affected, and are expected to continue to adversely affect, the results of our Specialty Products segment.
Read in the 10-Q
Our P₂S₅ customers in North America have historically been served primarily by a third-party tolling facility in Sauget, Illinois. Supply from the facility has not been consistent with our customers’ requirements, and we are actively working to obtain permanent supply alternatives. We are currently supplying customers from multiple alternative sources at a higher cost, and we expect the associated costs to impact the operating results of our P₂S₅ business in the near term. Net sales of our P₂S₅ business declined in the three months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the prior-year period.
Read in the 10-Q
We cannot assure you that we will secure reliable long-term sources of supply on acceptable terms, if at all, or that our costs of supply will return to historical levels. A prolonged disruption, a loss of customers or the inability to obtain alternative sources of supply may prolong the adverse effect on the results of our Specialty Products segment and on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
