• Robust commercial HVAC demand, especially from data centers, lifted backlog to $12.5 billion, including more than $8 billion scheduled for 2027 and beyond; management also raised its full-year organic revenue growth outlook to approximately 11%.
• Management sees continued growth opportunities in 2027, including strong global HVAC demand, normalized residential channel inventories, and an expected recovery in Americas Transport; service revenue remains a resilient growth engine with low-teens compound annual growth since 2020.
