Operating margins are being squeezed by a 10% ($36M) increase in SG&A expenses in Q2 2026 compared to the prior year. This pressure from rising employee costs and professional fees creates a need for operational efficiency and cost control solutions.
Filing excerpt
Our selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2026, were $397 million, an increase of 10 percent, and were negatively impacted by six percent due to increased employee-related costs and one percent due to increased legal and professional fees, as well as an increase in other expenses.
