Management confirmed full-year guidance of mid-single-digit like-for-like revenue growth at constant currency, targeting continuous margin progression and strong earnings growth.

What management said

Yes, essentially, we bought a business called Embarlab, which is an Australian-based environmental testing assurance business, and it was the main driver of the difference between organic and total revenue.

What analysts pressed on

Analysts expressed concerns regarding the potential risks associated with the strategic review and the impact of geopolitical tensions on revenue, particularly in the Middle East. They questioned whether the separation could disrupt existing revenue streams and how operational costs might change post-separation.
