It now expects sales of around 3.5 billion euros ($4.07 billion) and EBIT of around 430 million euros, down from a previous estimate of sales of around 3.7 billion euros and EBIT of around 460 million euros
Preliminary EBIT for Q2 of 2025 is 101 million euros, below analysts' estimate of 112 million euros, according to a consensus compiled by Vara Research, it added
