- Civil Aerospace division saw a significant improvement with operating profit growing by 63% and operating margin increasing to 24.9%, supported by higher aftermarket profits and renegotiated contracts.

- The company continues to face industry-wide supply chain constraints, which have led to product cost inflation, particularly impacting the aerospace division.

- The uncertain macroeconomic environment, including tariffs and supply chain challenges, poses risks to the company's future performance and targets.
