Executive summary
Strategic transformation advanced with a streamlined structure, regional empowerment, and portfolio review focused on operational excellence and shareholder returns.
Project Cutting Edge expanded, targeting $200M EBITDA savings in 2025 and $400M by 2027, mainly from headcount reduction and operational efficiencies.
2Q25 results aligned with guidance; net sales down 4–5% and EBITDA down 9–11% year-over-year, but margins remained resilient in key regions.
Free cash flow from operations in Q2 2025 was $206M, down 25% year-over-year, but expected to accelerate in H2 due to improved profitability and working capital reversal.
Controlling interest net income rose 38% year-over-year to $318M in Q2 2025, driven by non-operating items and discontinued operations.
Financial highlights
Net sales for Q2 2025 were $4.1B, down 4–5% year-over-year; EBITDA was $823M, down 9–11%; EBITDA margin at 20.0%, down 1.1pp.

Free cash flow generation anticipated to improve in H2 due to higher profitability and seasonal working capital reversal.

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.
