Segment Performance

- Hi-Tech and M&D (Manufacturing and Distribution): Strong growth and positive outlook
- Emerging Businesses: Continued growth momentum
The Fashion and Luxury segment remained weak, primarily due to underperformance in the U.S. market, weakness in China, and appreciation of the euro.
