What management said

Thank you, operator. Good morning, everyone, and welcome to our Q1 2026 results conference call. My name is Christian from the IR team. With me today are our CEO, Dr. Alexander Sagel; and our CFO, Anja Manz-Siebje. Alexander and Anja will take you through the presentation. Afterwards, we will open the floor to your questions. But now I will hand over to Alexander, please go ahead.

Yes. I only wanted to state that I fully agree with what Alexander said on the margin development. It's VTA, it's really -- what we can see is what we always told is that more of the same just supports us at VTA. It's really the scaling up topic because we really produced a 16% more compared quarter-to-quarter. So -- and that's really mostly driven by our scaling up.

What analysts pressed on

Analysts expressed concerns regarding the mixed performance in the M&I division, particularly about the sustainability of margins and the impact of customer-induced delays. There were also questions about the potential effects of rising energy costs on operations.
