    Finish the 4 in-flight integrations to close the synergy gapAct now
    Why it matters

    Avg synergy is only 74% of plan banked; the unrealized balance is EBITDA already underwritten but not yet captured.

    What's driving it
    • Avg synergy 74% of plan
    • 4 businesses in flight ($1870.7M revenue)
    FYI
    • In flight: Legrand North America, Legrand India, Legrand Data Center Solutions, Legrand Retail
    • EBITDA uplift to date +$272.1M
  2. 2
    Recover Legrand Retail — lowest synergy at 40%Act now
    Why it matters

    Legrand Retail is the weakest cohort on synergy capture; a 90-day savings plan on the gap is unrealized EBITDA.

    What's driving it
    • Legrand Retail synergy 40% · 45% integrated
    • 0 in-flight brand(s) with DSO above as-acquired
    FYI
    • Status: Early
    • EBITDA 90.7→102.04%

    Why it matters

    Move to credit hold pending paydown; reforecast ARR net of likely churn.

    What's driving it
    • Overdue AR
    • Signal: Alert
    FYI

    Distress filings + overdue AR; churn risk High on $6.4M account.
