Valerie Diele-Braun, CEO: "In a volatile first quarter of the year, we faced challenging conditions in some of our market segments, resulting in a lower operating EBITA of EUR 127 million versus a very strong Q1 2023. Whilst our acquisition pipeline and projects with principals and customers remain healthy in all regions, current market dynamics continue to make future customer demand difficult to predict. Our strong commercial teams, digital and logistics infrastructure, combined with further driving operational excellence and cost control, will deliver future growth and efficiencies."
