Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense was $175 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2025 and adjusted SG&A was $169 million versus $164 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2024.

Fuller for the third quarter of fiscal 2025 was $69 million. Adjusted EPS was $1.26 per diluted share, up 12% year-on-year driven by higher adjusted net income and lower shares outstanding.
