Commenting on the financial results, the company’s Executive Chairman, Evangelos Mytilineos, stated:
“Our strong performance in the first half of 2026 confirms our unwavering commitment to executing the business plan we presented at the Capital Markets Day in April 2025, and highlights the consistent, disciplined delivery of the strategic targets we have set. It is also now clear that the challenges we faced during 2025 are being addressed effectively, and that the company has returned to a trajectory fully aligned with its medium-term strategic objectives.
The particularly encouraging start to the year reinforces the confidence we expressed through the guidance we presented at the Annual General Meeting. We are especially pleased that the operational challenges we had identified are being addressed effectively, and that the initiatives we undertook to restore the company’s performance are now delivering tangible results, allowing our operations to regain their momentum across the board.
All of our business segments recorded strong growth during this period, supported by robust cash flow generation and disciplined execution of our business plan. This performance reflects the strength of our diversified business model, as well as the dedication and commitment of our people.
Our unique collaborative model and integrated approach have once again demonstrated their resilience in an environment marked by heightened geopolitical uncertainty and ongoing trade tensions — challenges that we have consistently proven we can not only manage effectively, but turn into growth opportunities. These competitive advantages have enabled METLEN to forge significant strategic partnerships and further strengthen its position in international markets.
While we acknowledge there is still significant work ahead of us, the progress we have achieved to date fills us with optimism. As we have consistently demonstrated, we remain firmly committed to delivering on our strategic objectives, creating sustainable long-term value for our shareholders and all our stakeholders, and continuously achieving the highest performance standards.”
