Executive summary

  • Major strategic milestones achieved, including divestment of Cement and Air Pollution Control businesses, sale of headquarters, and launch of a share buy-back program.

  • Transitioned to a pure-play mining technology and services provider, with reporting now split into Service, Products, and PCV (Pumps, Cyclones, Valves) for greater transparency.

  • Profitability improved, with Adjusted EBITA margin at 15.2% in Q2 2025 and strong cash flow generation.

  • Orders grew 3% year-over-year (organic growth 9%), driven by Products and PCV, while Service order intake declined due to project delays in North America.

  • Sustainability KPIs improved, including significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions and water withdrawal, and EcoVadis silver medal awarded.

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.
