Executive summary
First half and Q2 results were disappointing, with revenue down 4% year-over-year due to weak baby care demand in Europe, customer destocking, and supply chain inefficiencies, partially offset by contract gains in North America.
Adjusted EBITDA margin contracted by 2.2pp to 9.8%, reflecting lower volumes, price carry-over, and higher costs, despite €34 million in cost transformation savings.
Strategic transformation continues, with a healthier balance sheet from refinancing, divestments, and a stronger innovation pipeline.
Operational efficiency improvements and a shift to a leaner, performance-driven culture are underway.
Loss for the period was €115 million, driven by a €111 million loss from discontinued operations, mainly the Brazilian divestment.
Financial highlights
H1 2025 revenue: €880 million (-4.0% LFL); adjusted EBITDA: €86 million (-21.5%); adjusted EBITDA margin: 9.8% (-2.2pp year-over-year).
Free cash flow was minus €40 million in H1; guidance expects about €40 million positive in H2.
Cost of goods sold increased sharply in Q2, with a step up of €16 million compared to Q1.
Net financial debt: €552 million (down from €612 million at year start); leverage ratio: 2.7x (up from 2.5x).
Loss from discontinued operations: €111 million, mainly due to the Brazilian business divestment and currency translation adjustments.
Outlook and guidance
H2 2025 expected to see revenue recovery to prior-year levels, with adjusted EBITDA returning to year-on-year growth and positive free cash flow.
Full-year 2025 guidance revised: revenue to contract low single digit (previously +3–5% LFL), adjusted EBITDA €200–210 million (previously €232–238 million), free cash flow around zero, leverage at ~2.5x.
Recovery driven by new contracts, end of destocking, resolved supply chain issues, and lower raw material costs.
No further guidance cuts anticipated; new contracts in North America and Europe are on track and expected to support H2 performance.
Market demand is expected to remain soft, with no assumptions of improvement in projections.

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.
