Executive summary
German manufacturing will be consolidated at Eisleben, with Gerolzhofen and Nordhausen factories to close; the restructuring targets a more competitive footprint and improved profitability.
A second French bolt-on acquisition was completed, while 2026 EBITDA and free cash flow expectations and 2027 capital returns were reaffirmed.
Financial highlights
2026 EBITDA expected at ~€300m and free cash flow at ~€100m, before one-time costs.
Total 2026 financing costs expected below the lower end of the prior €37-40m guidance range.
German restructuring entails one-time cash and non-cash costs of ~€56-61m; cash-cost payback expected in less than two years.
Outlook and guidance
German measures are expected to lift Group EBITDA margin by ~60-80 bps once fully implemented; implementation mainly in 2026-27.
Restructuring may reduce German revenue by ~€35-40m during implementation; growth in other markets and channels is expected to partly offset the impact.
Capital returns are expected to recommence in 2027, supported by 2026 performance expectations and operational efficiency progress.
