Outlook

The first half of the year saw significant margin growth, coupled with a strong carpet fibers product line performance in the United States and of Engineering Plastics, highlighting the effective operating management.

Cost-optimizing initiatives, including the reorganization of the U.S. carpet collection and

recycling plant, are expected to generate significant savings in the second half of the year and particularly in subsequent years.

Despite the more limited visibility for the second half of the year, the measures introduced indicate the continued focus on protecting efficiencies and profitability, even in an uncertain macroeconomic environment.
