The company reported record first-quarter net revenues of $1.7 billion, marking a 7.4% year-over-year increase, surpassing the analyst estimate of $1,652.72 million. This growth was driven by strong performance in the Safety Services segment, which saw double-digit inspection revenue growth in North America.

Despite these achievements, the company faced challenges in its Specialty Services segment, where revenues declined by 6.8% due to adverse weather impacts and decreased project revenues.
