especially in the Metal Processing business, should help de-risk the FY revenue

guidance. The margin recovery in the quarter was driven by three out of the four Key Changes (FYE Dec)

segments, with E&E being the only segment seeing compression in margins on Prev Cur Δ

medium term objectives set for 2027, and we believe the event could lay the
