Q & A Highlights

Q: Can you explain the rationale behind maintaining the revenue guidance despite positive order trends and other tailwinds? A: Vicente Reynal, CEO, explained that the decision to maintain the revenue guidance was precautionary. Despite positive factors like tariff pricing, FX, and M&A, the company chose to offset these with a conservative view on organic volume, effectively derisking the year while keeping the total revenue guide consistent.
