Sequential Growth: Ontex returned to quarter-on-quarter revenue growth in Q3, with revenue up 4% from Q2, reversing two prior quarters of sequential declines.
EBITDA Margin Rebound: EBITDA margin improved by 3 percentage points compared to Q2, reaching 11.4%.
Soft Market Impact: Despite sequential gains, Q3 revenue was still down 5% year-on-year due to continued soft demand, especially in Baby Care.
Full-Year Guidance Affirmed: Management maintained its previous full-year guidance, expecting revenue down low single-digit like-for-like and adjusted EBITDA of EUR 200–210 million.
Q4 Outlook: Ontex projects at least 5% sequential revenue growth and a further increase in EBITDA in Q4, driven by full-quarter impact from new contract wins.
Free Cash Flow and Leverage: Positive free cash flow is expected in Q4, aiming for breakeven for the year, with net debt targeted to fall and leverage to improve to about 2.5x by year-end.
Competitive Market: Price competition remains strong, especially in Baby Care, but Ontex does not plan price cuts and focuses on innovation and efficiency.
