Preformed Line Products delivered higher sales but lower earnings for the quarter ended March 31, 2026. Net sales were $176.3 million, up 19% year-over-year, driven mainly by strong energy and communications demand in PLP-USA.

Net income attributable to shareholders declined to $10.5 million from $11.5 million, and diluted EPS slipped to $2.14 from $2.33, largely because the effective tax rate climbed to 26% from 16% after a valuation allowance of about $1.3 million on French deferred tax assets.
