Revenue: Q1 revenue was $2.2 billion, up 6.1% year-over-year driven by 5.5% organic growth.
Growth mix: Enterprise organic growth of 5.5% was the strongest since Q4 2022; Aviation led at 10%, Technical Solutions and M&D each grew 7%, B&I 4% and Education 2%.
Margins: Consolidated segment operating margin was 7.1%, below prior year primarily due to project timing and mix in Technical Solutions (ATS).
Technical Solutions: Q1 was impacted by roughly $20 million of delayed microgrid revenue (weather-related); management says delays are timing-related and expect catch-up in the back half.

Balance sheet & buyouts: Total indebtedness $1.7 billion, leverage 2.9x pro forma adjusted EBITDA; leverage will exceed 3x in Q2 due to WGNSTAR acquisition then return below 3x by year-end.
