Key executives, including Joan Bottarini, Executive Vice President & CFO, and Adam Rohman, Senior Vice President of Investor Relations & Global Financial Planning Analysis and Treasurer, were present to address questions and share updates.
First Quarter Performance Exceeds Expectations
During the conference, company representatives highlighted a stronger-than-anticipated first quarter. Both the United States and international markets demonstrated robust performance. This positive trend persisted despite some disruptions in the Middle East towards the end of the quarter due to ongoing conflict.
