Outlook and guidance

• Supply constraints, longer lead times and elevated prices are expected to persist; management sees no improvement before late 2027 at the earliest.

• Deliveries for current orders extend into 2027, with a material share of Q3 forward orders scheduled mainly for that year.

• Gross-margin aim remains 35%–36%; rapid cost changes make stability challenging, and North American data-centre infrastructure orders are scheduled for 2027 delivery.
