11:13Well, the odds of any company reaching its 60th anniversary,

11:17let alone a company in the technology sector, are,

11:20to put it mildly, very challenging areas.

11:24Remarkable longevity reflects our commitment to cutting

11:28edge innovation at the intelligent edge between the physical and digital worlds,

11:33to our customer success as the primary metric by which we judge our own success,

11:40and to striking the right balance between exploration and execution,

11:45focus and breadth, performance and transformers.

11:49That said, the primary determinant of our success over

11:53these past six decades has been our ability to sense,

11:57to learn and adapt to changes in our environment.

12:02From our founding, we have consistently focused on discerning how markets and

12:07technologies were evolving and made the right moves to get ahead of them.

12:12Today, the geopolitical, macroeconomic,

12:16and technology disruptions of our era are merely

12:20the latest backdrop against which we continue to

12:22deliver breakthrough innovations for automation,

12:26healthcare, consumer transportation, communications,

12:30energy systems, and many, many more.

12:33This is who we are and this is who we will continue to be.

12:39In closing, I'd like to thank several people.

12:49the very beginning in an unyielding commitment to learning and innovation.
