• Regional performance was mixed but resilient: North America grew revenues and held ~9% margins despite U.S. residential weakness (Suncoast), EME delivered a strong turnaround (non‑repeat of 2024 project issues) and APAC (Austral/India) continued to grow, while Middle East exposure remains small (<5% of revenue/profit).
• Key near‑term risks include a trough in U.S. residential activity and Suncoast pricing normalization, a translational FX headwind, and some one‑off legal/contract items—factors that could weigh on short‑term profit momentum despite the company’s stated resilience.
