In our Pacific region, organic revenue growth was slightly below the average for International, with good growth in Pest Control and Ambius mitigating a flat organic performance in Hygiene. Within Pest Control, our contract business performed well, offsetting a subdued jobbing market, which was impacted by weather delays due to both flooding and droughts.

#### Profit
Adjusted Operating Profit of $242m was up 4.6%, broadly in line with revenue growth. Adjusted Operating Margin in our International division remained at 19.3%. Statutory Operating Profit was $214m, compared to $194m in the prior period.

Europe adjusted profit was slightly up, despite a small decrease in margin. While there has been ongoing inflationary pressure throughout the period, we have continued to be successful at mitigating its impact by pass-through pricing.

The UK and Sub-Saharan Africa region delivered resilient profit growth despite revenue headwinds against a continued subdued macro-economic backdrop. Adjusted Operating Profit increased ahead of the divisional average with operating margins also showing good growth in the period. The Hygiene and Wellbeing category showed good margin growth through price and yield management, continual focus on higher margins sectors, and continual process improvement

Within Asia and MENAT, operating profit increased ahead of the regional average. Margin was modestly up as a result of continued increasing scale in India and Indonesia, investment in Singapore in 2024 supporting margin improvement in 2025 and pricing continuing to improve in India.

Within the Pacific region, operating profit grew slightly below the overall International region, consistent with the revenue growth.

The International region acquired 10 businesses with total revenues in the year prior to purchase of $17m.
