Prepared remarks Very upbeat (was upbeat)
Answers to analysts Typical (was typical)

Management sounded noticeably less positive answering analysts than in its prepared script — a bigger drop than in 95% of calls. Scripts are polished in advance; a drop under questioning often marks the topics analysts pressed on, so the answers deserve a closer read than the script.

“Service level performance remained strong and improved in certain areas, underscoring our ability to support growth through operational excellence.”
