MBB SE ( MBBDF ) Q2 2026 Earnings Call August 13, 2026 9:00 AM EDT Company Participants Torben Teichler - CFO, Chief Investment Officer & Executive Director Presentation Operator Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to the earnings call of MBB SE following the publication of the first half year figures of 2026. The company's CFO, Torben Teichler, will guide you through the figures and the presentation in a moment, followed by a Q&A session via audio line and chat. And having said this, Torben, the stage is yours. Torben Teichler CFO, Chief Investment Officer & Executive Director Yes. Thank you very much, and good afternoon, everyone. My name is Torben Teichler. I'm the CFO of MBB, and I will now take you through our H1 results. But before we do that, let me, as always, start with a very quick recap of what makes MBB special. Well, MBB offers long-term succession solutions to sustainable Mittelstand companies. And the way we do this is quite unique because we are a family business ourselves. So our two founders who founded the business 30 years ago are still the major shareholders and operationally very much involved. And that means that in many ways, we share the same DNA with the businesses that we want to acquire. Secondly, we're fans of the capital market, and that's why we're here today as a stock-listed company. But that's also why three of our subsidiaries, Friedrich Vorwerk, Aumann and Delignit are stock listed. And having brought all of these companies to the stock market in order to finance their growth and develop is in my point of view, a special differentiating factor for us. Moreover, we have a long-term focus. So generally, when we buy, we don't have an intention to sell, but seek to develop and grow our businesses in the long term and remain the anchor shareholders in our companies.
