Executive summary
Sales for H1 2024 slightly exceeded €2 billion in Q2 and €4,016.4 million for H1, down 17% and 15.5% year-over-year respectively, mainly due to divestitures and planned declines in Contract Manufacturing.
Adjusted EBIT margin improved to 4% in Q2, with adjusted EBIT at €82 million, driven by positive mix effects, cost containment, and improved Core ICE results.

Free cash flow was significantly negative at -€388 million in Q2 and -€478.1 million for H1, mainly due to changes in payment terms, higher investments, and settlements.
Net income improved to €57.0 million from a prior loss, and EBIT rose to €58.4 million, supported by fixed cost savings.
