H2 2025 earnings summary19 Feb, 2026

Executive summary

  • Revenue reached €4.1bn in 2025, up 1.3% in constant currency, with organic revenue declining and market challenges partially offset by four strategic acquisitions across EMEA and APAC.

  • Strong free cash flow growth (up 29% to €442m) and disciplined cost and working capital management supported resilience and downside protection.

  • Net profit fell to €113m, down 37.6–40.1% year-over-year, mainly due to lower operating profit, higher tax rate, and reduced financial income.

  • Capital allocation focused on organic growth, de-leveraging, and maintaining a BB+ credit rating, with a proposed dividend of €0.226 per share.

  • Digitalization, innovation, and sustainability advanced, with eight innovation awards and improved ESG ratings (CDP A-, MSCI AA).

Financial highlights

  • Revenue: €4.1bn (up 1.3% constant currency, down 2.4% reported); Q4 revenue: €937m (down 7.6%).

  • Gross profit: €968m (margin 23.6%, down 91 bp); adjusted EBITA: €411m (margin 10.0%, down 117–170 bp); conversion margin: 42.4%.

  • Net profit: €113m (down 37.6–40.1%); EPS €0.46.

  • Free cash flow: €442m (up 29–29.2%), cash conversion ratio 106%.

  • Leverage ratio: 3.3x net debt/EBITDA (up from 2.9x); net debt stable at €1.6bn.

Outlook and guidance

  • Near-term demand remains pressured by macro and geopolitical volatility, but long-term fundamentals in specialty chemicals and ingredients distribution are strong.

  • Continued focus on cost, working capital, and readiness to accelerate growth when markets stabilize; deleveraging remains a priority.

  • Board proposes a dividend of €0.226 per share.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
