Executive summary

  • Sales grew 2% year-over-year in H1 to €1,804 million, driven by organic and external growth despite challenging market conditions and weak industrial production in Europe.

  • EBIT declined 4% year-over-year to €209 million due to unfavorable mix in the US, inflation, and higher costs.

  • Free cash flow before acquisitions improved to €81 million, up from €69 million, supported by net working capital reduction.

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.
