Gross margin expanded 258 basis points to a record 42.9% in the first half of 2026.

EBIT grew 15.9% to US$822 million, while EBIT margin increased 86 basis points to 9.9%. Net Profit increased 17.5% to US$738 million due to lower net finance costs, and earnings per share rose 17.8% to US40.50 cents.

TTI generated US$753 million in positive Free Cash Flow in the first six months of 2026, ending the period in a US$1.066 billion net cash position.
