HIGHLIGHTS
Patrice Lucas, Group Chief Executive Officer, said: “In the first quarter, Verallia was able to take advantage of the gradual normalization in the market environment to return to volume growth. Our margin contracted due to the combined impact of an unfavorable inflation spread and a temporary negative finished good inventory variation effect. In this context, the Group maintained tight control over its expenses and the Performance Action Plan (PAP) once again proved to be effective. Even though market conditions lead us to update our 2025 adjusted EBITDA target, we remain fully committed to continue to adapt to the evolution of the environment with agility and we raise our 2025 free cash-flow generation target.”
