Net working capital improved by EUR 29m vs previous year

EUR -29m Decisive net working capital management

  • Continued reduction of inventory overstock (EUR -23m inventory reduction vs Q2 2022) at limited margin impact
  • Trade financing solution with an impact of EUR -7m in Q2 2023; further utilization under review based on our strong cash position

Net working capital is expected to remain on healthy levels in FY 2023, yet there will be negative seasonal effects in Q3 2023

Cost saving measures with clearly positive impact on CAPEX profile

Attractive CAPEX light business model with high degree of cash conversion of profits

Intangible CAPEX investments decreased due to cost savings in Technology organization

Very limited tangible investments into warehouse infrastructure needed; sufficient capacity for future growth secured
