First-pass take

Cyclical commodity materials business with zero AI exposure and high leverage at 2.9x net debt/EBITDA. Company executing well on cost reduction (H2 margin 13.7% vs H1 8.4%), but at industry trough with no near-term demand recovery visibility. FCF strong at €214m, but margins compressing from weak volumes and Chinese import pressure.
