Management Commentary
We are happy with the way we finished 2024.
Our orders were also very strong in the fourth quarter with the highest order intake we've had since quarter two of twenty twenty two.
China was a $25,000,000 headwind for the year and represented about 3% of our 2024 full year revenue, down from about 7% in 2023.
Overall Sentiment: Positive, with a focus on growth, strategic execution, and disciplined cost management. Management acknowledges headwinds in China but expresses optimism for long-term growth.
