Executive summary
2025 was marked by a volatile macroeconomic environment, with net sales of €2,090m (down 0.9% at constant currency), driven by weak US and Latin America performance but offset by growth in Middle East, Africa, and Brazil.

Major governance changes included a new leadership team and renewed board to support strategic transformation.

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.
