The cleaner year-over-year comparison also helped GAAP EPS swing to $0.61 from a loss of $0.22 a year ago, when results had been weighed down by an $86.30 million ERP system impairment charge that did not recur. Both operating segments contributed, with Color, Additives and Inks revenue reaching $528.10 million and Specialty Engineered Materials climbing to $320.20 million, while adjusted EBITDA margins edged 20 basis points higher to 17.7% through productivity gains and cost discipline, directly addressing pre-quarter concerns about raw material pressures. Management held its full-year 2026 adjusted EPS guidance at $2.93 to $3.17 and guided Q2 adjusted EPS to $0.89, representing 11% growth, though it flagged second-half visibility as less certain given tariff-related dynamics and broader macroeconomic conditions.
