Profitability is driven by turning engineered motion products and related systems into sales (including lifting and precision conveyance), then converting a 34.5% gross margin into a much smaller 6.3% operating margin, which implies operating expenses are a major constraint on operating leverage as revenue shifts between product and acquisition contributions.
