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.

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