*For the year ended December 31, 2022
Gross margin improved for the 14th consecutive year, from 38.8% in 2021 to 39.3% in 2022. TTI EBIT increased 0.8% to US$1.2 billion with margin up slightly to 9.1%. Net Profit declined 2.0% to US$1.1 billion due to higher interest expense. Earnings per share declined 2.0% to US58.86 cents. The Group generated free cash flow of US$329 million, with a tremendous improvement in the second half. Working capital to sales finished the year at 21.2% compared to 20.9% a year ago. Importantly, days of finished goods inventory declined 3 days to 113 days at year end.
TTI’s Power Equipment business, representing 93.0% of total sales, grew 5.5% in local currency. MILWAUKEE grew 21.8% in local currency, offsetting declines in our consumer and floorcare businesses. In the Power Equipment business, TTI generated low double-digit organic growth in Europe and ROW along with positive growth in the core North American business.
The Board is recommending a final dividend of HK90.00 cents (approximately US11.58 cents) per share. Together, with the interim dividend of HK95.00 cents (approximately US12.23 cents) per share, this will result in a full-year dividend of HK185.00 cents (approximately US23.81 cents) per share, same as last year.
Mr. Horst Pudwill, Chairman of TTI, said, “With a strong increase in free cash flow and a healthy balance sheet, TTI is well positioned to further expand our global industrial, professional and consumer leadership position. We are highly confident in our ability to continue driving market share gains and to outperform the market in 2023.”
Mr. Joseph Galli, CEO of TTI, commented, “TTI is well positioned to outperform the market in 2023. We have not only right-sized our SG&A cost base, but also streamlined our fixed overhead position and prudently managed our production levels while developing a stream of innovative new products.”

Watchmaker Genomics Licenses CRISPR-Cas9 Intellectual Property from Caribou Biosciences to Increase Throughput and Reduce Sequencing Cost per Sample17.2.2026 15:00:00 EET | Press release
Watchmaker Genomics, an innovator in high-performance solutions for next-generation sequencing (NGS), today announced a non-exclusive license with Caribou Biosciences, Inc., a leading clinical-stage CRISPR genome-editing biopharmaceutical company, for certain foundational CRISPR-Cas9 intellectual property for use in NGS library preparation. While CRISPR-Cas9 technologies are most commonly associated with their unique ability to find and cut for genome editing, Watchmaker is leveraging it in a fundamentally different way: as a programmable, stoichiometric binding tool to address one of the most persistent and under-optimized steps in NGS workflows – library normalization. “Normalization has quietly become a bottleneck as sequencing throughput has scaled,” said Brian Kudlow, CSO and Founderat Watchmaker Genomics. “This license gives us the freedom to rethink normalization from first principles, using CRISPR-Cas9 in a way that’s orthogonal to editing but highly aligned with modern sequenc
Esri and Pix4D Launch Real-Time Terrestrial Mapping Workflow17.2.2026 15:00:00 EET | Press release
Esri, the global leader in geographic information system (GIS) technology, has launched a terrestrial mapping workflow with Pix4D. A Switzerland-based photogrammetry software company, Pix4D specializes in mobile reality capture and site-digitization. The combined workflow allows field teams to capture and process asset data and manage it within ArcGIS, Esri’s geospatial platform. Field teams use the PIX4Dcatch app with real-time kinematics (RTK) devices to scan trenches and infrastructure. The generated high precision georeferenced records can now be published into Esri’s ArcGIS Online. Scans become 3D models and point clouds, viewable as a Scene Layer. Existing data can also be visualized in augmented reality for instant “as-designed” versus “as-built” verification before closing trenches. “We are focused on turning hidden infrastructure into functional data,” said Andrey Kleymenov, CEO of Pix4D. “By connecting PIX4Dcatch with a compatible RTK device to the Esri ecosystem, we are enab
Compass Pathways Successfully Achieves Primary Endpoint in Second Phase 3 Trial Evaluating COMP360 Psilocybin for Treatment-Resistant Depression17.2.2026 13:30:00 EET | Press release
Compass Pathways plc (Nasdaq: CMPS), a biotechnology company dedicated to accelerating patient access to evidence-based innovation, announced today the successful achievement of the primary endpoint in the ongoing Phase 3 COMP006 trial, the second of two Phase 3 trials, which is evaluating two fixed doses of COMP360, a synthetic, proprietary formulation of psilocybin, for treatment-resistant depression (TRD). The primary endpoint was the difference in change from baseline in the Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) scores between the 25 mg and 1 mg groups at Week 6. Two fixed doses – administered 3 weeks apart – of COMP360 25 mg versus 1 mg demonstrated a highly statistically significant reduction in symptom severity with a p-value of <0.001 and a clinically meaningful difference of -3.8 points in change at the primary endpoint. Across COMP005 and COMP006 to date, COMP360 is demonstrating a generally well-tolerated and safe profile, with treatment-emergent adverse events (
