Please note, this call is being recorded. [Operator Instructions]I will now hand you over to your host, Steve Foots, to begin today's conference. Please go ahead, sir.Steve FootsGroup Chief Executive & Executive DirectorGood morning, everyone. Many thanks for joining. So I'm here with Stephen and David, and together, happy to take your questions.So first, just a few overview comments from me. Overall, quarter 1 sales were as we expected it, up 1% at constant currency and similar to a very strong quarter last year. And whilst we acknowledge the heightened uncertainty that the Middle East conflict has caused, it had no material effect on quarter 1, and there is no change to guidance for full year '26.So breaking our quarter 1 sales performance down by business, sales were up 4% in Consumer Care, driven by Beauty Actives and F&F. Life Sciences saw sales dip 3%, largely due to Crop Protection being 8% lower versus a strong prior year when we saw significant restocking. And industrial sales were down 2%, again against a strong prior period.Read more current COIHY analysis and newsView all earnings call transcriptsCommentsTo ensure this doesn’t happen in the future, please enable Javascript and cookies in your browser.Is this happening to you frequently?
