  • Revenue growth based on existing customer agreements whose financial effects are expected to materialize in the second half of the year
  • Product range diversification within the Heating & Ventilation segment is expected to gradually contribute to top-line growth
  • Carry over of new industrial footprint and additional initiatives already started in 2025 will further optimize cost base
  • EBITDA margin adjusted expected to return to double-digit levels supporting a reduction in Net debt

Guidance does not factor in the impact of recent tariff developments or any potential future adjustments
