Deere Call. We reviewed Deere’s (NYSE:DE) 3Q26 results and conference call.

Based on Deere’s comments, 2027 should show improvement across the board for Titan.

Construction. Order books for 2026 are largely full as demand fundamentals remain favorable across both the earthmoving and road building end markets.

  • The campus-level OPEX-Efficiency Program is in implementation at pilot campuses across the country, with initial cost-savings already realized. The program will be implemented across all campuses in the coming quarters.
  • The Company launched its proprietary selection, training, and professional development program for line crew and Harbour Masters (campus leaders), including proprietary training equipment, an HBO Syllabus, and standard operating procedures. The HBO service model has become a major differentiator for Sky Harbour and the Company will continue to invest in enhancing its resident services.

Update on Capital Formation

  • Earlier today, the Company closed a $40 million common stock issuance at $10.00 per share through a registered direct placement with two new long-term investors; funds managed by Oasis Management Company and a prominent member of the California Bay Area tech community. The proceeds of this primary placement are expected to be paired with an expanded tax-exempt bank facility to fund additional hangar projects totaling approximately 400,000 rentable square feet.
  • As of June 30th, 2026, the Company has drawn nearly $70 million from the JPM Facility for capital expenditures and reimbursement of prior advances related to projects at BDL, SLC and OPF Phase 2. As of today, there is an additional $130 million of committed undrawn capacity under the JPM Facility.

Reaffirmation of 2026 End of Year Guidance

  • We expect to achieve consolidated revenues of $42-46 million on an annualized run-rate basis by year end, up from an annualized run rate of $39.4 million in Q2 2026.
  • We expect to achieve consolidated Adjusted EBITDA of $4-6 million on an annualized run rate basis by year end.

CEO Tal Keinan commented: “The Sky Harbour HBO model is an increasingly established triple-win, aligning the interests of Airports, the Business Aviation Community, and Sky Harbour shareholders. This drives the Site Acquisition pipeline, which is at its most robust to date. The Sky Harbour Development team is meeting its construction-pace and quality targets, while continuing to lower development costs. Per-square-foot revenue is exceeding forecasts. And the Sky Harbour Operations team continues delivering the safest, fastest and most secure service offering in Business Aviation.”

CFO Francisco Gonzalez commented: “We welcome two long-term strategic investors to the Sky Harbour shareholder family. The $40 million (raised with minimal transaction costs given existing shelf and without banker fees) will be paired with additional tax-exempt debt to fund approximately 400,000 new square feet of hangar, an accretive exercise for our shareholders. At $10 a share, it represents a relatively small discount to our last 30-day (thru 8/10) VWAP of $10.49, a very efficient execution.”

CEO Tal Keinan commented on the equity issuance: “Sky Harbour shareholders have been active partners, helping us to secure the top airport sites in the country and, increasingly, supporting our ambition to serve the top business aircraft operators in the country. We are honored to be joined today by two new partners who will propel that part of our business forward.”

BRENTWOOD, Tenn., Aug. 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — CoreCivic, Inc. (NYSE: CXW) (CoreCivic or the Company) announced today that is has entered into an accelerated share repurchase agreement (“ASR Agreement”) with a financial institution (“Dealer”) to repurchase $500 million of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), as part of its existing capacity of $755.8 million under the Company’s recently announced expanded share repurchase program, which was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors on August 4, 2026. Upon completion of the ASR Agreement, the Company anticipates that approximately $255.8 million of share repurchase authorization will remain available under the Company’s existing share repurchase program.

The Company will make a payment of $500 million to the Dealer on August 10, 2026, and expects to receive an initial delivery of approximately 12.4 million shares of Common Stock from the Dealer, pursuant to the ASR Agreement. The final number of shares to be repurchased by the Company will be based on the average of the daily volume-weighted average price of the Common Stock during the term of the ASR Agreement, less a discount and subject to adjustments pursuant to the ASR Agreement. At settlement, the Dealer may be required to deliver additional shares of Common Stock to the Company, or under certain circumstances, the Company may be required to deliver shares of Common Stock or to make a cash payment, at its election, to the Dealer.   The final settlement of the transaction under the ASR Agreement is scheduled to occur prior to the end of the second quarter of 2027.

NOTE TO SUPPLEMENTAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Adjusted Net Income, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, FFO, and Normalized FFO, and, where appropriate, their corresponding per share metrics are non-GAAP financial measures. The Company believes that these measures are important operating measures that supplement discussion and analysis of the Company’s results of operations and are used to review and assess operating performance of the Company and its properties and their management teams. The Company believes that it is useful to provide investors, security analysts, and other interested parties disclosures of its results of operations on the same basis that is used by management.  

FFO, in particular, is a widely accepted non-GAAP supplemental measure of performance of real estate companies, grounded in the standards for FFO established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT).   NAREIT defines FFO as net income computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property and extraordinary items, plus depreciation and amortization of real estate and impairment of depreciable real estate and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures calculated to reflect funds from operations on the same basis. As a company with extensive real estate holdings, we believe FFO and FFO per share are important supplemental measures of our operating performance and believe they are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs and other real estate operating companies, many of which present FFO and FFO per share when reporting results. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and FFO are useful as supplemental measures of performance of the Company’s properties because such measures do not take into account depreciation and amortization, or with respect to EBITDA, the impact of the Company’s tax provisions and financing strategies. Because the historical cost accounting convention used for real estate assets requires depreciation (except on land), this accounting presentation assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes at a level rate over time.   Because of the unique structure, design and use of the Company’s properties, management believes that assessing performance of the Company’s properties without the impact of depreciation or amortization is useful. The Company may make adjustments to FFO from time to time for certain other income and expenses that it considers non-recurring, infrequent or unusual, even though such items may require cash settlement, because such items do not reflect a necessary or ordinary component of the ongoing operations of the Company.   Normalized FFO excludes the effects of such items. The Company calculates Adjusted Net Income by adding to GAAP Net Income expenses associated with the Company’s debt repayments and refinancing transactions, and certain impairments and other charges that the Company believes are unusual or non-recurring to provide an alternative measure of comparing operating performance for the periods presented.

Other companies may calculate Adjusted Net Income, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, FFO, and Normalized FFO differently than the Company does, or adjust for other items, and therefore comparability may be limited.   Adjusted Net Income, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, FFO, and Normalized FFO and, where appropriate, their corresponding per share measures are not measures of performance under GAAP, and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities, a measure of liquidity or an alternative to net income as indicators of the Company’s operating performance or any other measure of performance derived in accordance with GAAP.   This data should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related notes included in its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Big Horn Facility support services contract is expected to generate approximately $85 million in annual revenues in the first full year of operations.

We entered into a five-year support services contract, effective August 1, 2026, with ICE for the activation of a federal immigration processing center at our GEO-owned, 1,320-bed Rivers Facility in Winton, North Carolina. The Rivers Facility support services contract is expected to generate approximately $80 million in annual revenues in the first full year of operations.

Under both contracts, ICE will reimburse GEO for the capital expenditures needed to reactivate these two facilities, as well as provide funding for start-up expenses during the activation period. We expect the activation of the Big Horn Facility and Rivers Facility to be completed by the end of 2026, with both facilities expected to achieve normalized operations and earnings contribution in early 2027.

Financial Guidance

Today, we updated our financial guidance for the full year 2026 and issued our financial guidance for the third quarter 2026 and the fourth quarter 2026. We increased our full year 2026 Net Income Attributable to GEO Operations guidance to a range of $168 million to $175 million, or $1.27 to $1.32 per diluted share on annual revenues of $2.95 billion to $3.05 billion and based on an effective tax rate of approximately 30 percent, inclusive of known discrete items. We increased our full year 2026 Adjusted EBITDA guidance to a range of $550 million to $560 million. We expect total unreimbursed Capital Expenditures for the full year 2026 to be between $135 million and $145 million.

For the third quarter 2026, we expect Net Income Attributable to GEO Operations to be in a range of $45 million to $48 million, or $0.35 to $0.37 per diluted share, on quarterly revenues of $755 million to $805 million. We expect third quarter 2026 Adjusted EBITDA to be between $140 million and $145 million. For the fourth quarter 2026, we expect Net Income Attributable to GEO Operations to be in a range of $37 million to $41 million, or $0.28 to $0.31 per diluted share, on quarterly revenues of $758 million to $808 million. We expect fourth quarter 2026 Adjusted EBITDA to be between $137 million and $142 million.

Our updated guidance does not include any earnings contribution from our new Big Horn and Rivers ICE contracts since we expect the activation period for these facilities to be completed by the end of 2026, achieving normalized earnings contribution in early 2027. Our updated guidance also does not include any earnings contribution from our previously announced managed-only contracts for the 1,884-bed Graceville Facility and the 985-bed Bay Facility in the State of Florida. These two managed-only contracts, which are valued at approximately $100 million in combined annual revenues, are now expected to transition to GEO on July 1, 2027.

We believe there are several sources of potential upside that are not currently included in our guidance. With respect to revenues, sources of potential upside include additional growth in our U.S. Secure Services segment from the reactivation of additional idle facilities and/or higher overall populations across our active facilities; additional volume increases and/or accelerated technology and service mix shift in our Intensive Supervision Appearance Program (“ISAP”) contract; additional growth in our secure transportation services business; and additional revenue from higher utilization of our skip tracing services contract. With respect to expenses, our guidance assumes a more moderate contribution from labor cost savings for the second half of 2026.

Balance Sheet

At the end of the second quarter 2026, we had approximately $55 million in cash and cash equivalents and approximately $1.54 billion in total debt, resulting in total net debt of approximately $1.5 billion and total net leverage below 3 times Adjusted EBITDA for the trailing 12 months. At the end of the second quarter 2026, we had total available liquidity of approximately $300 million, including cash on hand and Revolver availability, to support our capital needs.

Share Repurchase Program

During the second quarter of 2026, we repurchased approximately 1.6 million shares of GEO common stock at an aggregate cost of approximately $36.6 million. As of June 30, 2026, we had repurchased approximately 10.1 million shares of GEO common stock at an aggregate cost of approximately $177 million under our $500 million share repurchase authorization, bringing our current outstanding share count to approximately 132 million and leaving approximately $323 million of repurchase authorization available under the share repurchase program.

Repurchases of GEO’s outstanding common stock will be made in accordance with applicable securities laws and may be made at our senior management’s discretion from time to time in the open market, by block purchase, through privately negotiated transactions, pursuant to a trading plan, or otherwise in compliance with Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The authorization for the share repurchase program may be extended, increased, decreased, suspended or terminated by our Board of Directors in its discretion at any time. Repurchases of the Company’s common stock (and the timing thereof) will depend upon market conditions, regulatory requirements, the Company’s existing obligations, including its Credit Agreement, other corporate liquidity requirements and priorities and other factors as may be considered in the Company’s sole discretion. The authorization for the share repurchase program does not obligate GEO to purchase any particular amount of the Company’s common stock.

Follows Sales of Two Detention Facilities in California

BRENTWOOD, Tenn., Aug. 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — CoreCivic, Inc. (NYSE: CXW) (CoreCivic or the Company) announced today that it has completed the sales of its 1,600-bed Prairie Correctional Facility in Appleton, Minnesota and its 1,033-bed Midwest Regional Reception Center in Leavenworth, Kansas to the United States of America and its assigns, by and through the Department of Homeland Security for an aggregate gross sales price of $734.0 million, including $495.6 million for the Prairie Correctional Facility and $238.4 million for the Midwest Regional Reception Center. These purpose-built facilities were specifically designed to care for individuals in a secure environment. After federal and state income taxes of approximately $182.2 million and transaction costs, the Company anticipates its net proceeds from these asset sales to be approximately $522.5 million. The Company currently expects to use the net proceeds for general corporate purposes, which may include debt reduction and the repurchase of the Company’s common stock.

The Company currently expects to continue to operate the Prairie Correctional Facility and Midwest Regional Reception Center under the existing management contracts with Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE), although the terms of the management contracts may be modified to reflect the change in ownership. However, the Company can provide no assurance that it will continue to manage these facilities in the future, or that the terms of the existing management agreements will remain the same. As has always been the case, ICE has the ability to terminate the management contracts for non-appropriation of funds or for convenience. The management contracts for the Prairie Correctional Facility and Midwest Regional Reception Center expire in August 2031 and September 2027, respectively. Following the sale of these facilities, the Company will own or control via a long-term lease 61 correctional, detention, and reentry facilities with a total design capacity of approximately 67,000 beds and manage an additional eight facilities it does not own with a total design capacity of 13,000 beds.

Patrick Swindle, CoreCivic’s President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We are further demonstrating the value of the Company’s underlying real estate portfolio through the sales of our Prairie Correctional Facility and Midwest Regional Reception Center, following our sales of two detention centers in California last month. We remain committed to growing the Company’s businesses and returning value to our shareholders, while remaining a dependable and flexible partner for government.”

In addition to the recently completed facility sales, the Company has recently begun discussions with ICE about the potential acquisition of additional detention facilities from the Company. These discussions are in preliminary stages, and the Company can provide no assurance that any additional sales will occur.

(NYSE: CXW) (“CoreCivic”) announced today that it has been awarded a new contract with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (“ICE”) to utilize the Company’s 1,600-bed Prairie Correctional Facility located in Appleton, Minnesota, a facility that has been idle since 2010.

CVG-Corporate

Research News and Market Data on CVGI

August 3, 2026

Second quarter revenues of $195 million, EPS of $(0.25), Adjusted EBITDA of $5.4 million
Strong revenue growth across all three business segments
Raises full-year 2026 guidance

NEW ALBANY, Ohio, Aug. 03, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — CVG (NASDAQ: CVGI), a diversified industrial products and services company, today announced financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2026.

Second Quarter 2026 Highlights (Results from Continuing Operations; compared with prior year, where comparisons are noted)

  • Revenues of $195.2 million, up 13.5%, primarily driven by increased demand across all three segments.
  • Gross margin expansion of 140 basis points versus Q2 2025 and 120 basis points sequentially versus Q1 2026 primarily from increased revenues and operational efficiency improvements.
  • Operating income of $1.6 million, up $0.8 million, compared to $0.8 million. Adjusted operating income of $2.6 million, compared to $1.9 million.
  • Net loss from continuing operations of $8.7 million, or $(0.25) per diluted share and adjusted net loss of $4.6 million, or $(0.13) per diluted share, compared to net loss from continuing operations of $4.1 million, or $(0.12) per diluted share and adjusted net loss of $2.9 million, or $(0.09) per diluted share. Net loss includes a $3.4 million pre-tax warrant liability revaluation expense.
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $5.4 million, compared to $5.2 million, with an adjusted EBITDA margin of 2.8%, down from 3.0%.
  • Net proceeds of approximately $11.6 million from the at-the-market equity issuance program used to pay down term loan.

James Ray, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “We are encouraged by the strong revenue growth and gross margin expansion we delivered in the second quarter. All three segments generated year-over-year revenue growth, driven by the continued ramp of new business and increased customer demand. North American Class 8 truck production began to improve late in the quarter. We continued to deliver sequential gross margin expansion, reflecting the improvements from our operational efficiency and footprint rationalization initiatives and position CVG to benefit from increased demand.”

Mr. Ray continued, “Our Trim Systems & Components segment returned to year-over-year growth despite a lower Class 8 build rate compared with the prior-year quarter, driven in part by new business ramping in our wiper systems business. Global Seating continued to benefit from customer demand growth in international markets. Global Electrical Systems benefited from the ramp of new business, including the Zoox robotaxi program and a more diversified end market mix driving consistent growth. As we look to the second half of 2026, we remain focused on disciplined execution, continued margin improvement, and free cash generation. We expect CVG to be positioned to capitalize on improving market conditions.”

Angie O’Leary, Interim Chief Financial Officer, added, “During the second quarter, we continued to strengthen our balance sheet and execute our capital allocation priorities. Building on the progress from earlier this year, we further reduced outstanding debt with proceeds from our recently executed at-the-market equity offering program, which we expect to contribute to lower cash interest expense going forward. We also continue to make targeted investments in working capital to support key program launches and the growth opportunities across our businesses. SG&A expense increased from the prior year driven by higher incentive compensation and advisory service fees. We remain focused on driving profitable growth, generating free cash flow, and advancing toward our long-term net leverage objective of approximately two times. Based on our first-half revenue performance, and the momentum we see across all three segments, we are raising our revenue and Adjusted EBITDA guidance ranges for the year.”

Second Quarter Financial Results from Continuing Operations
(amounts in millions except per share data and percentages)

Consolidated Results from Continuing Operations

Second Quarter 2026 Results

  • Second quarter 2026 revenues were $195.2 million, compared to $172.0 million in the prior year period, an increase of 13.5%. The overall increase in revenues was primarily due to increased customer demand in international markets and the ramp of previously awarded new business wins across all three of our segments.
  • Operating income in the second quarter 2026 was $1.6 million, up $0.8 million compared to the prior year period. Second quarter 2026 adjusted operating income was $2.6 million, compared to adjusted operating income of $1.9 million in the prior year period. The increase in adjusted operating income was primarily attributable to higher sales and improved gross margin performance, partially offset by higher SG&A expense that was driven by higher incentive compensation and advisory service fees.
  • Interest associated with debt and other expenses was $2.9 million and $2.3 million for the second quarter 2026 and 2025, respectively, with the increase for the second quarter 2026 due to higher interest rates.
  • Net loss from continuing operations was $8.7 million, or $(0.25) per diluted share, for the second quarter 2026 compared to net loss of $4.1 million, or $(0.12) per diluted share, in the prior year period. Net loss includes a $3.4 million pre-tax warrant liability revaluation expense. Second quarter 2026 adjusted net loss from continuing operations was $4.6 million, or $(0.13) per diluted share, compared to adjusted net loss of $2.9 million, or $(0.09) per diluted share.

On June 30, 2026, the Company had $24.8 million of outstanding borrowings on its U.S. revolving credit facility and $2.9 million outstanding borrowings on its China credit facility, $36.0 million of cash and $91.2 million of availability from the credit facilities (subject to customary borrowing base and other conditions), resulting in total liquidity of $127.2 million.

Second Quarter 2026 Segment Results

Global Seating Segment

  • Revenues were $80.0 million compared to $74.5 million for the prior year period, an increase of 7.5%, due primarily to increased customer demand in international markets.
  • Operating income was $3.0 million, compared to $2.7 million in the prior year period, an increase of $0.3 million, driven by higher sales and improved gross margin performance. Second quarter 2026 adjusted operating income was $4.0 million compared to $3.1 million in the prior year period.

Global Electrical Systems Segment

  • Revenues were $62.0 million compared to $53.6 million in the prior year period, an increase of 15.8%, primarily as a result of ramping new business wins.
  • Operating income was $1.7 million compared to operating income of $0.7 million in the prior year period. The increase in operating income was primarily attributable to higher revenues.

Trim Systems and Components Segment

  • Revenues were $53.2 million compared to $43.9 million in the prior year period, an increase of 21.1%, primarily due to higher sales volume as a result of increased customer demand in North America, including improved product mix.
  • Operating income was $2.2 million compared to operating income of $0.1 million in the prior year period. The increase in operating income was primarily attributable to higher demand and improved operational efficiencies.

Outlook

CVG updated the Company’s outlook for the full year 2026, based on current market conditions:

MetricPrior 2026 Outlook ($ millions)Updated 2026 Outlook ($ millions)
Revenues$660 – $700$725 – $755

The outlook for the Construction end market reflects mid-single digit growth in 2026.

CHICAGO, Aug. 03, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — FreightCar America, Inc. (NASDAQ: RAIL) (“FreightCar America” or the “Company”), a diversified manufacturer and supplier of railroad freight cars, railcar parts and components, today reported results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026.

Second Quarter 2026 Highlights

  • Revenues of $113.1 million, compared to $118.6 million in the second quarter of 2025, with railcar deliveries of 927 units compared to 939 units in the prior year period
  • Aftermarket revenues grew 13% year over year, reflecting continued organic growth in parts and components and the contribution from our recent acquisition
  • Gross margin of 5.5% with gross profit of $6.2 million, inclusive of $2.2 million of workforce realignment costs, compared to gross margin of 15.0% with gross profit of $17.8 million in the second quarter of 2025
  • Recorded a $24.9 million non-cash loss related to share price appreciation accounting on the warrant liability, resulting in a net loss of $30.1 million, or $(0.94) per diluted share, and adjusted net loss of $0.8 million, or $(0.02) per diluted share, compared to adjusted net income of $3.8 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, in the prior year period
  • Holder exercised outstanding warrants during the quarter, reducing the warrant liability to $14.0 million at June 30, 2026 from $119.4 million at March 31, 2026 and resulting in positive stockholders’ equity of $36.2 million
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $1.2 million, representing a margin of 1.0%, compared to $9.3 million and a margin of 7.8% in the second quarter of 2025
  • Ended the quarter with a backlog of 3,972 units valued at $344 million, reflecting a diversified mix of new railcar builds, conversions and retrofits

“Our second-quarter results reflect two different realities,” said Nick Randall, President and Chief Executive Officer of FreightCar America. “Commercially, we delivered one of the strongest order quarters in our recent history, with backlog value increasing 121% sequentially and our share of industry new-railcar orders reaching approximately 45%. Operationally, the production ramp began later than planned due to customer delivery timing, reducing fixed-cost absorption and shifting a portion of expected 2026 deliveries into early 2027.”

Randall continued, “We realigned our Castaños operating footprint to the productivity improvements achieved over the past two years, while preserving the installed capacity and critical capabilities required to scale. As a result, we expect to generate approximately $12 million of annualized structural savings, with benefits beginning in the third quarter. Combined with 13% growth in aftermarket revenue and the addition of our second acquisition following quarter-end, we enter the second half with a substantially larger backlog, a lower cost base and a broader presence across the railcar lifecycle.”

Fiscal Year 2026 Outlook

The Company has updated its outlook for fiscal year 2026 as follows:

 Updated Fiscal 2026
Outlook		Year-over-Year
Change at Midpoint
of Range
Railcar Deliveries3,500 – 3,900 railcars(10.3)%
Revenue$410 – $460 million(13.2)%
Adjusted EBITDA1$36 – $44 million(2.9)%

1. The Company does not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA guidance due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying adjustments necessary to calculate such non-GAAP measure without unreasonable effort. Material changes to such adjustments, including warrant liability and non-core operating items, could affect future GAAP results.

Mike Riordan, Chief Financial Officer of FreightCar America, added, “Free cash flow rose 43% year over year to $11.3 million, while we maintained solid balance sheet flexibility. We also closed our second aftermarket acquisition in under a year, an immediately accretive addition to our business as we continue to execute on our capital allocation priorities. While our updated full-year outlook reflects the shift in new railcar delivery timing, our lower cost structure and robust order intake support stronger results in the back half. Our long-term growth trajectory and value we are building for the years ahead remain firmly on track.”

Joe Gomes, CFA, Managing Director, Equity Research Analyst, Generalist , Noble Capital Markets, Inc.

Refer to the full report for the price target, fundamental analysis, and rating.

Overview. Titan’s second quarter results reflect solid improvement from the prior year. The Company continues to benefit from its diverse business model, even in the face of ongoing challenging Agriculture end markets. This quarter, it was the Consumer segment that drove performance. Titan’s one-stop-shop product and distribution strategy is a key element of the diverse business model, in our view.

2Q26 Results. Driven by a 27.2% increase in Consumer segment revenue, Titan’s consolidated revenue grew 5.2% to $484 million in the second quarter. This was towards the high end of management’s guidance. We were at $480 million. Adjusted EBITDA of $34 million was up 13.3% y-o-y and exceeded the high end of management’s guidance. We were at $29 million. Titan reported quarterly net income of $6.3 million, or $0.09/sh, partly driven by tariff refund recoveries.
