Own brand sales benefited from double-digit growth in North America, driven by direct distribution and the expansion of the product offering, in addition to a resilient performance in EMEA, also thanks to the contribution of new products. The OEM channel was meanwhile impacted by weak demand, particularly on the North American market, and the resulting destocking by major customers.
This decrease primarily reflects the phase-out of certain projects in the Ovens and Ventilation segments, partially offset by the gradual phase-in of new orders and the resilient Heating segment performance.
