Executive summary

  • Q3 revenue was €445 million, up 3.7–4% sequentially from Q2, driven by new contract wins and transformation program execution, despite a 3.8–5% year-over-year decline due to soft market demand.

  • Leverage remained stable at 2.7x, with net debt reduced by €9 million to €543 million at quarter-end.

  • Positive free cash flow in Q3 was supported by EBITDA delivery, cost savings, and no significant restructuring cash out.

  • Full-year outlook is maintained despite ongoing soft market conditions.

Financial highlights

  • Q3 revenue was €445 million, down 3.8–5% year-over-year, mainly due to lower volumes in private label and baby care.

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.
