  • EMEA saw mixed results, with Turkey outperforming due to pricing and currency effects, while UK and Western Europe remained subdued.

  • Americas maintained growth momentum, supported by pricing actions and stable distributor channels.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
