Result drivers

• Volume and pricing - Organic net sales rose 11% on both higher volumes and favorable pricing across key segments
• Segment profitability pressure - Refrigerants & Applied Solutions segment margin declined due to plant turnaround timing and loss of prior-year production incentive credits, partially offset by volume and pricing gains
