Outlook

Mindful of the current geopolitical and macroeconomic environment, particularly within European Industrial markets, we expect organic constant-currency* revenue growth of around 2% for the full-year. Noting a foreign exchange headwind, we expect an adjusted operating profit* margin for the second half broadly in-line with that of the first, excluding the phasing benefit from the take-or-pay agreement.
