Diluted EPS came in at $2.17 (up 9.6%) and adjusted diluted EPS at $2.26 (up 10.2%), driven by double-digit growth in Architectural Specialties (net sales +21.5%) and solid Mineral Fiber results. The company updated its 2026 outlook, raising net sales guidance to $1,788-$1,803 million (10-11% growth) while trimming the top end of adjusted EBITDA and EPS guidance to reflect accelerating inflationary and tariff pressures.
