Margins: Q4 gross margin rose 90 basis points to 42.6%, ahead of expectations, driven by shipment of lower-cost pre-tariff inventory and ongoing supplier diversification.

Tariff Impact: Tariffs had a pronounced effect on inventory costs, margins, and cash flow in 2025, and will continue to influence results in H1 2026.
