We delivered strong financial results in the first quarter, continuing our track record of industry-leading revenue and EPS growth. Our global team achieved 11% organic revenue growth, 130 basis points of adjusted EBITDA margin expansion, and 26% adjusted EPS growth. Bookings were robust, up 4%, with a book-to-bill ratio of 113% for the enterprise and book-to-bill of 100% or more across all segments and businesses. We added about $500 million to our backlog from year-end 2024, including approximately 400 million in our America's commercial HVAC business. Our commercial HVAC and services businesses have shown outstanding durability and resiliency, compounding growth over multiple years. And our project pipelines continue to grow, highlighting sustained opportunities ahead. Our direct sales strategy enables us to capture more than our fair share of these opportunities, and consistently outgrow our end markets. Our service business represents one-third of our enterprise revenues with a high single-digit compound annual growth rate since 2019 and a low team's CAGR since the inception of Trane Technologies. We pride ourselves on strong execution and delivering for our customers and stakeholders. Despite a dynamic macroeconomic environment, we are confident in our ability to outperform. Our experienced global teams have effectively managed past challenges, consistently improving our business operating system to be more agile and resilient. This system includes advanced mechanisms for pricing, supply chain management, and productivity to manage various inflationary scenarios. We are well prepared to manage the modest cost inflation we expect while minimizing the impact on our customers and driving market growth. Looking forward, we're confident in our ability to deliver results towards the higher end of our full-year revenue and EPS guidance ranges, which Chris will cover in more detail shortly.
