AI was mentioned only once on this call, briefly and in passing, as a demand driver for the semiconductor industry's capital expenditure super cycle. Management cited AI-driven demand as a tailwind for electronics end-market growth and industrial gas project opportunities, but provided no detail on AI as a product, internal tool, or direct revenue line. The reference was purely a customer-demand-signal framing.

- T2Q&A· CEO· Customer demand signaldoes that imply that the multi-stages for Samsung would be in excess of that amount. Is there any more framework you could perhaps add? And also, just a quick kind of side note, is this something you expect to be more consistent in terms of bidding activity over the next 12 months or so?
“I've seen numbers in excess of $0.5 trillion of CapEx being spent by semiconductor and memory manufacturers. And of course, there is a lot of projects in industrial gases. They are growing in volume, and we're working hard to get our fair share of that.”

- No discussion of internal AI adoption, AI-enabled productivity tools, or AI investment by Air Products itself.
