Guidance from management

Management maintained their full-year guidance, indicating confidence in executing priorities, particularly the successful ramp-up of the Odessa facility. They expect to manage costs effectively while supporting customer demand.

What management said

Regarding the CapEx, so no changes. Our guidance remains. We started on the maintenance side, kind of as planned, a little bit of timing effect. But overall, that guidance of $70 million in maintenance remains and similar to the growth, as expected, it's a little bit slower this year because Odessa is coming to completion. Nevertheless, our guidance of the $200 million in growth remains. So no changes on that.

Yes. Thank you. Yes. And we also mentioned, yes, we're being prudent here in trying not to, I mean, not too much, I mean, ahead of time here with decisions on the world industry segment. So thank you.
