EMEA remains more challenging, especially in Life Sciences, while Americas saw

an acceleration on stronger Personal Care and Food, though CASE still soft.

No quantitative guidance as usual, though Azelis now expects positive adj EBITA

growth for FY26, implying a slight upgrade to cons.

FCF declined yoy due to higher working capital, while leverage remains elevated

at 3.4x.

Overall a solid print. Shares were +3% yesterday on peer IMCD's print, but should

see some support today given better organic growth and guidance comments.

2Q26 results ahead of cons; Organic growth turns positive: Azelis reports 2Q26

revenues of €1,125m and an operating gross profit of €278m, 2-7% ahead of

consensus and +6-10% yoy.
