AlzChem Group AG (ALZCF) Q2 2026 Earnings Call July 30, 2026 4:00 AM EDT

Andreas Niedermaier CEO & Chairman of Executive Board: Yes. Thank you for the warm welcome, and good morning to everyone. It's great to have you with us today. Thank you for joining for the first and quarter 2 analyst call. We will take you through the key highlights of the quarters first and then, as always, be available for questions. So let's get straight to the business and turn to Slide 5 here. Yes. Here we go. So let me briefly summarize our performance in the first half of 2026. We have delivered a very successful first 6 months here with both revenue and earnings significantly exceeding the prior year level. Group revenue increased by 6% year-on-year to almost EUR 304 million. Growth was driven by both higher volumes and an improved pricing environment, reflecting the continued strength of our specialty portfolio. At the same time, profitability once again developed significantly better than revenue. EBITDA increased by 14% overall to EUR 64.5 million, while our EBITDA margin expanded from 19.6% to 21.2% overall.
