Core Growth 5.6%, aided by customer buying in advance of expected price and tariff increases.

Specialty Products & Technologies Core Revenue Growth 4.7%, with orthodontics business Spark up low double digits and Brackets & Wires up high single digits, helped by customer buy ahead but offset by declines in China.
Equipment & Consumables Core Revenue Growth 7.3%, including double-digit growth in Consumables and mid-single-digit growth in Diagnostics in North America.
