(1) See below for a reconciliation of adjusted non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP.
The gross margin rate was lower than the first quarter last year, primarily due to unfavorable product and channel mix and lower margin rates of acquired operations. Price realization was able to mostly offset the impact of incremental tariffs of $7 million.
Operating expenses increased 7 percent, including 4 percentage points from acquired operations and 3 percentage points from the effects of currency translation.
Operating earnings decreased 4 percent, due to a lower gross margin rate and increased expenses.
Net earnings decreased 5 percent for the first quarter. Adjusted net earnings decreased 7 percent, driven by lower operating earnings and a prior year gain from the sale of a former manufacturing and distribution facility in Switzerland that did not repeat.
How to read Risk Factors (Item 1A) in a 10-Q
A 10-Q risk-factor section usually takes one of three forms; this page classifies it as one of:
- Pointer — the filer states there have been no material changes and points back to the annual 10-K risk factors; there is no own risk text to compare this quarter.
- Partial update — the filer carves out specific updated risks ("except as set forth below"); the excerpts show exactly what is new this quarter.
- Restated in full — the quarter carries the complete risk-factor text. When the prior quarter was only a pointer there is no prior full text to diff against, so the page flags the section as restated instead.
This describes the filing structure only — it is never a judgement on whether risk went up or down.
