The company is taking steps to improve operational efficiencies and innovate, but faces headwinds from increased costs due to tariffs and steel prices.

Company Guidance -

North America water heater sales decreased by 2% due to lower volumes, although North America boiler sales experienced a 6% increase. China sales decreased by 11% in local currency due to economic challenges and limited government subsidies.
