Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting

The >$90M Q2 preliminary sales mark represents a substantial YoY improvement and validates multi-regional demand, which could lift sentiment and valuation into the August 12 results. While unaudited and subject to revision, the magnitude and regional breadth support near-term upside despite ongoing ERP challenges and geopolitical headwinds.
