Strategic priorities

• Improve innovation and new product development; expand into new distribution channels and adjacent product categories.
• Grow the business organically and through acquisitions in higher-growth technology peripheral categories.
• Use strong brand recognition and supply chain expertise to expand relationships with new and existing customers.
• Manage mature product categories that continue to generate profit and cash.
• Support profitability through margin expansion, multi-year cost reduction, and footprint rationalization programs.
• Pursue a disciplined acquisition strategy to expand brand presence, extend geographic reach, and complement existing product lines, while maintaining a low leverage ratio and realizing synergies.
• Maintain a capital allocation strategy that prioritizes debt reduction to strengthen the balance sheet, while supporting the quarterly dividend, potential share repurchases, and opportunistic mergers and acquisitions.
• Generate consistent operating cash flow to support these strategic priorities.
