- The rental business saw a 14% increase in revenue, driven by increased maintenance services across key contracts.
- The company is actively expanding its artificial intelligence and operational technology capabilities to enhance its competitive advantage.
- While maintenance work contributed to revenue, it is low on margins, which could impact overall profitability.
