H1 2024 saw resilient margins and strong cash generation despite lower volumes, with robust U.S. and Italian performance offsetting Central European weakness. Full-year recurring EBITDA is expected near 2023’s record, supported by cost control and ongoing CapEx for modernization and decarbonization.
