Gerresheimer

Gerresheimer reports adjusted EBITDA of €66m for Q1 2026 (-19%) and a margin of 12.6% (previous year 15.7%), on slightly higher revenue of €524m. Free cash flow improved significantly to -€32m from -€141m, driven by active inventory reduction and throttled production volumes, which weigh on profitability in the short term. The Containment & Delivery Systems segment performed positively with a higher margin due to strong demand and new U.S. production ramp‑ups. The quarterly release was delayed due to internal reviews of revenue recognition, the company still lacks a permanent CEO, and management is aiming for a turnaround in the second half. » Altro su de.investing.com

The Gerresheimer share climbed about 5.7% to €26.68 after the company published preliminary Q1 figures showing a marked improvement in free cash flow. Revenue rose slightly to €524m, but adjusted EBITDA fell from €81m to €66m and the margin dropped to 12.6% due to a strategic realignment in favor of cash generation. Investors were also reassured by a more optimistic expectation for the second half of the year despite the recent CEO change to interim co‑leadership. » Altro su de.investing.com

Gerresheimer reports a slight revenue increase to €524 million for the first quarter, but adjusted EBITDA fell from €81 million to €66 million. The company expects improvements from the already approved sales of Centor and Primary Packaging Plastics, which are only set to take effect in the second half of the year. Management had delayed the quarterly report after BaFin reviews uncovered accounting errors, leading to corrections, leadership changes and a group loss of almost €319 million. The share price rose by just under 5% after the figures, and the recovery in the stock has raised hopes of a return to the SDax. » Altro su finanzen.net
