For building automation, we are raising our 2025 sales outlook to mid-single-digit growth given standout performance in both long and short-cycle businesses in the first quarter. Our sales outlook for the remainder of the year remains largely unchanged momentum from new product innovation and robust demand in high-growth regions is partially tempered by global uncertainty, for our business segment with the most international exposure. In the second quarter, we expect sales to be up low mid-single digits with sequential and year-over-year growth in both solutions and products. Margins for the quarter and for the year should expand as volume leverage, accretion from access solutions, and productivity actions more than offset cost inflation. In energy and sustainability solutions, we expect 2025 organic sales growth to remain in our previously guided low single-digit range year over year. Led by strength in EOP and ongoing momentum in SDS. We continue to build on our robust pipeline from sustained global demand in projects despite ongoing macroeconomic uncertainty.
