  • Upgraded full-year guidance for both sales and adjusted EBIT margin, reflecting strong operational momentum and improved execution.

  • Free cash flow turned negative at €-204 million, impacted by milestone payment timing and project-related outflows.

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.
