Net cash from operations fell to $278 million from $314 million year-over-year. This was attributed to the timing of receipts/disbursements and higher bonus payouts, suggesting potential pressure on working capital management and a need for efficiency improvements.
Filing excerpt
The $36 million decrease in net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the prior year period, was primarily a result of the timing of operating receipts and disbursements and higher bonus payments in the current period versus a year ago, partially offset by increased operating income.
