Key Business Segments

   • Management expects slight volume improvement for the full year. Consistent pricing power seen.
   • Long-term growth expected between -1% and +0.5% vs. volume; LINQ system adoption key.
3. Industrial Coatings:
   • Production rates stable in Auto-OEM, with growth drivers in Asia/LatAm and EV battery coatings (China).
   • Innovation ongoing (low-cure, pre-painting).
   • Cautious view on overall industrial activity due to tariff/consumer uncertainty.
4. Architectural:
   • Growth in Mexico noted due to regional stability and strong consumer demand.
   • European growth still hindered by high interest rates and geopolitical uncertainty.
   • Smaller markets like Nordics show strength, but overall growth acceleration dependent on macroeconomic improvement. (No significant/reliable share price upside mentioned).
