EBITDA margin was 29.5%; net debt fell to €200.8m, or 0.4x last-12-month pro forma EBITDA.

Outlook and guidance
FY 2026 targets reiterated: EBITDA ~€450m, annual profit growth above 5% and free cash flow ~€200m; FCF guidance excludes restructuring costs.
Outlook assumes a challenging macro environment; EBITDA targets rely on internal actions, while diversification and buybacks support EPS growth.
2027 demand recovery is not expected; self-help initiatives are expected to support positive volumes, with prices forecast to grow at CPI levels in each region.
2027 margins are expected to be broadly flat; CapEx is not expected to exceed 2026 levels absent capacity expansion.
UK and Ireland are forecast to deliver the strongest 2027 growth in volumes and results.
