Our strategy is to supplement organic growth with disciplined M&A.
We have a strong balance sheet and the flexibility to support a range of growth opportunities, and will continue to allocate capital in a disciplined way for value creation.
As evidenced by recent acquisitions, we have an active acquisition pipeline, providing us with a great set of opportunities through which we can grow our business, but we will maintain our strict value creation discipline.
