Azelis Group NV

Azelis reports revenue of EUR 2.17 billion for H1 2026, currency-adjusted +3.2%. Adjusted EBITA rose currency-adjusted by 2.6% to EUR 233 million, while the EBITA margin fell slightly to 10.70%. Profit for the period was EUR 86 million, gross profit EUR 524 million; free cash flow fell 19% to EUR 122 million due to higher working capital. Growth was supported in part by recent acquisitions; the company aims for positive adjusted EBITA growth for the full year but warns of limited visibility due to market volatility. » Więcej na de.investing.com

Azelis has announced a share buyback programme that begins on 27 April 2026 and runs until 8 May 2026 or until 150,000 ordinary shares have been repurchased. The aim is to cover obligations under the long-term incentive plan for management; the volume is capped at a maximum of €1.5m. Purchases will be carried out discreetly on the open market by an independent financial intermediary and the acquired shares will be held as treasury shares. The programme is based on the authorisation granted by the 2021 annual general meeting and is being implemented in accordance with Belgian company law; the company will provide regular updates on progress. » Więcej na de.investing.com
