A critical section details numerous risks associated with forward-looking statements, referencing factors such as market demand fluctuations, integration risks from acquisitions, and trade protection measures. Key financial results highlighted include strong year-over-year revenue growth driven by the Datacenter & Communications segment. The presentation also notes two recent divestitures: the Aerospace & Defense business (Sept 2, 2025) and the Munich materials processing tools division (Jan 2026), with revenue figures adjusted on a pro forma basis to reflect these exclusions.
