Exhibit 99.1 · the passage around this item
… earlier in the release
• Profitability improved significantly, mainly due to organic sales growth, successful execution of cost reductions, and positive effects from supplier settlement and compensation. We estimate that the negative impact from U.S. tariffs was around 20bps on operating margin, as we managed to pass on most of the tariff costs to our customers. Operating income increased by 18% to $267 million and adjusted operating income* increased by 14% to $271 million. Operating margin was 9.9% and adjusted operating margin* was 10.0%. ROCE was 25.1% and adjusted ROCE* was 25.5%. • Operating cash flow increased by 46%, reflecting improved profit and working capital. Capital expenditure, net, was significantly reduced, and free operating cash flow* increased substantially. The leverage ratio* of 1.3x is below our target limit of 1.5x. In the quarter, a dividend of $0.85 per share (21% increase from Q2 ‘25) was paid and 0.84 million shares were repurchased and retired.
