Executive summary
Achieved 26% year-over-year net sales growth in H1 2025, with revenue reaching €3.32–€3.5B, driven by strong product launches and five key growth drivers.

Adjusted EBITDA rose 58% to €1.33B, with margin expanding to 29.6% from 23% in H1 2024.

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.
