Executive summary

  • Sales for H1 2025 declined 2% year-over-year to €90 million, with US sales up 9% and European sales down 8% due to market volatility.

  • Gross operating margin improved by over 200 basis points to 51.7%, reflecting efficiency gains and inventory reduction.

  • Operational EBITDA declined 13% to €9.1 million, mainly due to deliberate inventory reduction, but cost controls preserved margins.

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.
