This week, we published our 2026 half-year financial results, confirming that our strong operational momentum continues into 2026. I am proud of the robust start to the year our teams have delivered, despite a volatile macroeconomic environment and significant foreign exchange headwinds.
My 3 personal highlights:
· Our Modernization business delivered a strong +12.8% YoY order growth in local currencies, underlining the structural strength of this business
· Our backlog showed a growth of +3.2% in local currencies in New Installations and Modernizations at improved margins.
· Thanks to continued operational improvements we have reached a reported EBIT margin of 13.2%, reflecting a YoY improvement of +90bps.
Grateful for the contributions and engagement of thousands of colleagues around the world, some of them working in challenging environments.
