Gross Margin
16.3%

Actionable Insight

The mixed results (revenue beat vs EPS miss) suggest the market will focus on the dilutive impact of the MRC merger and ERP issues. Monitor the upcoming conference call for synergy update and guidance. Elevated net debt (2.3x leverage) limits buyback capacity despite $50M repurchase.
