" Our near - term outlook remains strong and continues to be supported by a robust project pipeline and momentum in the markets that we serve .

We remain focused on the disciplined execution of our strategy and are highly encouraged by the growth opportunities ahead of us , " Mr. Batten concluded . Change in Inventory Accounting Method During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 , the Company elected to change its method of accounting for certain inventories from the last - in , first out ( LIFO ) method to the first - in , first out ( FIFO ) method . The change to the FIFO method of accounting for these inventories is preferable because it provides better matching of costs and revenues , conforms the Company's inventory to a single method of accounting and improves comparability with the Company's peers . The impact of the change in inventory accounting as reported under the FIFO method was a $ 32.1 million increase in inventory for the fiscal year ended June 30 , 2025 , and the amounts in this press release reflect the impact of this accounting change . To provide historical information on a basis consistent with the change to FIFO , the Company has recast certain historical information to conform to the updated method of inventory accounting in the financial tables of this press release .
