Revenue Trend: H1 2025 revenue reached EUR 1,075 million, with Q2 showing improvement over Q1, and management states full-year revenue is on track to meet guidance.
Profitability: EBIT margin recovered quarter-on-quarter, rising from a weak Q1 to 7.6% in Q2, but the H1 margin (5.2%) remains below last year due to a soft start.
Regional Weakness: Europe and Americas both saw double-digit revenue declines, especially in key markets, while Asia-Pacific was also weak, mainly due to Australia.
Order Book: Book-to-bill ratio remains above 1 year-to-date, though recent months dipped to 0.9, indicating demand is stabilizing but not accelerating.
Working Capital: Net working capital dropped by EUR 215 million year-on-year, mainly from lower inventories, supporting improved free cash flow.
Guidance Reaffirmed: Management confirmed guidance for both revenue and EBIT in 2025, expecting further profitability improvement in the second half.
Tariff Impact: The new 15% US-EU import tariff is factored into 2025 guidance, with most North American sales already locally produced to minimize exposure.
