  • Advanced Technologies was the standout growth engine, delivering 28% order growth, a 25% larger order book versus the start of the year, and a strong pipeline tied to commercial semiconductor demand, especially data communications and AR/VR-related applications.
  • Margins and cash generation continued to improve, with group adjusted operating margin up 30 basis points, cash conversion at 89%, and management highlighting lower costs from Belfast restructuring and better operational execution.
