Russell Shaller, President, Chief Executive Officer and Director of Brady Corporation, discussed the company's fiscal 2026 third quarter results, reporting record adjusted earnings per share of $1.50, a 23% increase year-over-year, and 8.2% organic sales growth. He attributed the performance to investments in research and development and new product launches, noting growth across major geographies despite a disruptive geopolitical environment. Shaller also commented on the company's planned acquisition of Honeywell's Productivity Solutions and Services (PSS) business, describing it as an opportunity to expand Brady's portfolio into mobility and scanning solutions and to more than double the markets the company can serve. He stated that the deal was the result of a thoughtful and opportunistic approach to mergers and acquisitions and expressed intent to preserve PSS's customer relationships and invest in its software offerings. In earlier calls, Shaller addressed the acquisition's strategic rationale, saying Brady could bring stability and disciplined performance to the PSS business. He also discussed second quarter results, noting organic sales growth for the 20th consecutive quarter despite tariff headwinds and weak manufacturing activity in Europe and Australia. Shaller emphasized a long-term view on research and development spending, stating that engineering and R&D should not be evaluated on a quarterly basis, and referenced the company's history of tripling operating income while increasing R&D investment from 3% to 6% of sales. He also noted that US manufacturing capacity utilization, currently around 77-78%, was a key indicator for the company's performance, with levels closer to 80% being more stimulative.
