Despite challenging business environment, the management notes positive signals of demand recovery in the market. Sales volumes increased y/y in Q1 (especially in EMEA), while sale prices were down. Guidance of improving comparable EBITDA was maintained intact, while consensus has modelled EUR 30.3m in 2024E after EUR 15.8m in 2023.
