Magnum Ice Cream (NYSE: MICC) grows H1 2026 sales but profit falls on higher costs

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

The Magnum Ice Cream Company N.V. has filed a prospectus supplement covering the potential resale by selling shareholders of up to 121,604,413 ordinary shares. Ordinary shares trade in Amsterdam, London and New York, with 612,259,739 shares outstanding and a NYSE price of $18.24 on 29 July 2026.

For H1 2026, revenue was €4.691 billion versus €4.503 billion, with 4.7% Organic Sales Growth driven by 2.5% volume and 2.2% price. Adjusted EBIT rose to €716 million (margin 15.3%), while net profit declined to €349 million, mainly due to higher finance costs, hyperinflation effects in Türkiye and higher taxes. Free cash flow increased to €273 million, and net debt reached €3.264 billion.

The company completed ice cream acquisitions in India and Portugal, contributing to growth and raising goodwill. A productivity programme delivered €90 million of savings in H1 toward a medium-term €500 million goal. The Turkish Competition Authority opened an investigation into freezer-cabinet practices and imposed an interim measure on cabinet capacity allocation. Management reaffirms 2026 guidance for 3–5% Organic Sales Growth and an Adjusted EBITDA margin improvement of 40–60 basis points on a comparable perimeter.

Positive

• Revenue and margins grew: H1 2026 revenue rose to €4.691 billion with 4.7% Organic Sales Growth, and Adjusted EBIT increased to €716 million, lifting the Adjusted EBIT margin to 15.3% from 14.8%.
• Free cash flow nearly doubled: Free cash flow reached €273 million versus €138 million a year earlier, helped by stronger working capital and higher cash from EBIT.
• Execution on productivity programme: The company delivered €90 million of H1 savings toward a medium-term €500 million productivity target, supporting margin improvement and funding growth initiatives.
• Guidance reaffirmed: Management maintains 2026 targets for 3–5% Organic Sales Growth and 40–60bps Adjusted EBITDA margin improvement on a comparable basis, signalling confidence in the strategy.

Negative

• Net profit declined sharply: H1 2026 net profit fell to €349 million from €464 million, a 24.8% decrease, driven by higher net finance costs, hyperinflation-related monetary loss in Türkiye, additional establishment and restructuring costs, and higher taxes.
• Leverage materially higher than prior year: Net debt stood at €3.264 billion versus €300 million in H1 2025 (and €2.967 billion at FY 2025), reflecting funding for separation, acquisitions and standalone operations.
• Regulatory headwind in Türkiye: The Turkish Competition Authority opened an investigation and imposed an interim measure requiring 30% of cabinet capacity in certain small outlets to be allocated to competing products or left empty.

Filing Explained

The filing separates potential shareholder resales from new issuance, while acquisitions were cash-funded and one Portuguese transfer remains approval-dependent.

This filing updates a prospectus allowing selling shareholders to offer and sell up to 121,604,413 ordinary shares from time to time; it does not establish that those shares have been sold or newly issued by The Magnum Ice Cream Company.

The attached Form 6-K supplies the company’s interim H1 2026 report, while the 424B3 records the resale registration framework. Because the named sellers, rather than the company, are described as offering the shares, the immediate structural change is resale capacity for existing shares, not a reported increase in the company’s share count.

The acquisitions of Kwality Wall’s India and the Portuguese ice-cream operations were completed for cash consideration, with no contingent consideration or equity instruments issued. On the disclosed mechanics, those acquisitions do not add dilution for existing common holders.

The separate Portuguese sourcing-unit transfer remains incomplete: legal ownership depends on additional regulatory and operational approvals, and a refundable €16 million advance has been paid while those approvals are pending.

As of June 30, 2026, the company also reported €1.1 billion of undrawn facilities and revolving credit facilities; this is available borrowing capacity, not cash already received.

Key Terms

Organic Sales Growth, Adjusted EBITDA, Transitional Service Agreements, hyperinflationary economies, +2 more

6 terms

Organic Sales Growth financial

"Revenue was €4.7 billion ... with Organic Sales Growth (OSG) for the first half +4.7%."

Organic sales growth measures how much a company’s revenue rises from its regular business activity — like selling more products, charging higher prices, or selling to more customers — without counting money from buying other businesses or one-time currency effects. Investors watch it because it shows whether demand and the company’s core operations are genuinely getting stronger, similar to judging a garden by how much the plants you planted yourself are growing rather than by adding bought potted plants.

Adjusted EBITDA financial

"Adjusted EBITDA was €880 million (H1 2025: €853 million), with Adjusted EBITDA margin at 18.7%."

Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.

Transitional Service Agreements financial

"All TSA exits planned for the first half of 2026 were concluded on time, and we continue working to exit remaining TSAs by the end of 2027."

A transitional service agreement is a short-term contract in which the seller continues to provide essential back-office or operational services to the buyer after a sale so the business keeps running smoothly during handover. Investors care because these agreements affect near-term costs, cash flow and risk exposure—like hiring a temporary guide during a move, they ease disruption but can add fees or signal integration challenges that influence the deal’s financial outcome.

hyperinflationary economies financial

"Net monetary gain/(loss) arising from hyperinflationary economies | (13) | 27"

Hyperinflationary economies are countries where prices and the cost of goods and services rise extremely fast and the local currency loses value rapidly, so money buys much less over short periods. For investors this matters because company earnings, cash balances and investment returns can be wiped out by falling currency value and volatile prices, forcing special accounting adjustments and protective strategies—like needing a fast drain plug when a boat springs a leak.

Net debt financial

"Net debt was €3,264 million (FY 2025: €2,967 million; H1 2025: €300 million)."

Net debt is the total amount a company owes after subtracting the cash and assets it has that can be used to pay off that debt. It shows how much debt is truly a burden, helping investors understand if a company is financially healthy or heavily borrowed. Think of it like calculating how much money you owe after using your savings to pay part of it.

non-IFRS financial measures financial

"OSG, OVG, OPG, Adjusted EBITDA margin ... are non-IFRS measures (see appendix B)."

Non-IFRS financial measures are company-reported numbers that modify or exclude items from standard accounting results so management can highlight what it sees as underlying business performance—common examples are adjusted EBITDA or adjusted earnings per share. They matter to investors because they can make trends clearer by removing unusual or noncash items, like cleaning lens smudges off a camera, but they require scrutiny since companies decide what to exclude and comparisons across firms may not be uniform.

(a) India and Portugal were not in the perimeter and paid royalty for the use of TMICC brands prior to acquisitions completed on 30 March 2026 and 1 April 2026 respectively. The underlying growth of The Magnum Ice Cream Company N.V. (the ‘Company’ or ‘TMICC’) excluding these royalties would be Organic Sales Growth (OSG) 4.8% and Organic Price Growth (OPG) 2.3%.

Peter ter Kulve, CEO: “We delivered another solid performance for the first half, achieving growth of 4.7%, balancing volume and value to outperform the growing global ice cream category.

Growth in the first half continued to be powered by market-making innovation and our occasion-led demand creation model. Each of our four leading brands – Magnum, Ben & Jerry’s, Cornetto, and the Heartbrand – grew, with innovation across flavours and formats, exciting consumers and customers. Ben & Jerry’s grew mid-single-digit and had an outstanding second quarter with 9.2% growth. Yasso, our high-protein, low-calorie offering, continued to grow double-digit after its successful expansion from sticks to pints.

Our key summer selling season got off to a strong start. We grew and gained share in all regions, including the US – our biggest market – supported by improved operational rigour. Our productivity programme remains on track, helping us deliver underlying margin improvement and providing fuel for growth. This demonstrates the strength of our frontline-first model and ownership culture, which is driving better end-to-end execution. Looking ahead, while we’re clear-eyed on the wider external challenges, we are committed to our strategy, confident in our ability to execute, and reaffirm our full-year outlook.”

Performance review H1 2026

​

Revenue was €4.7 billion (H1 2025: €4.5 billion) with Organic Sales Growth (OSG) for the first half +4.7%. Volume was +2.5% higher and price was up +2.2%. All three regions contributed to growth, with Europe & ANZ +4.1%, Americas +3.2%, and AMEA +7.6%.

Reported revenue was +4.2% higher than last year, including +2.3% impact from the acquisitions in India and Portugal and -2.7% foreign currency translation effects (forex). Forex translation effects related mainly to the strengthening of the euro against key currencies, particularly the Turkish Lira and US Dollar.

Adjusted EBIT was €716 million (H1 2025: €666 million) and Adjusted EBIT margin was 15.3% (H1 2025: 14.8%), driven by improved gross margin, resulting from productivity savings and pricing, partly offset by cost inflation. Operating profit €587 million (H1 2025: €569 million), was impacted by adjusting items related to establishment costs.

Adjusted EBITDA was €880 million (H1 2025: €853 million), with Adjusted EBITDA margin at 18.7% (H1 2025: 19.0%), primarily impacted by -70bps from TSAs, as previously allocated depreciation was charged as cash costs, and -30bps from the India acquisition. Operationally, savings from our productivity programme and select pricing actions more than offset commodity and other supply chain cost inflation. Net profit was €349 million (H1 2025: €464 million), with €50 million higher Adjusted EBIT more than offset by €62 million higher net finance costs, €40 million net monetary loss from hyperinflation in Türkiye, €32 million additional establishment and restructuring costs, and €31 million higher taxes.

Free Cash Flow was €273 million (H1 2025: €138 million), with the year-on-year increase primarily driven by a favourable working capital movement of €173 million and higher cash from EBIT, partly offset by an increase in interest payments reflecting our standalone financing and operating structure. The favourable working capital movement was largely driven by the interim operating model with Unilever PLC (Unilever). Accordingly, the usual seasonal inventory build-up during the first half did not result in a corresponding cash outflow.

Brands

Our four leading brands – Magnum, Ben & Jerry’s, Cornetto, and the Heartbrand – continued to drive organic sales growth:

● Magnum delivered mid-single-digit growth driven by the successful launch of Magnum Signature La Pistache – ranked as the top ice cream innovation in Europe – and La Peche, Bonbons in Europe & ANZ, and cones in multiple markets of Europe & ANZ as well as AMEA.

● Ben & Jerry’s gained further momentum and grew mid-single-digit across the period, with performance accelerating in the second quarter – for both the Americas and Europe & ANZ – with new stick and sandwich formats bringing new consumers to the brand. Social reach and engagement continued to grow, and our annual Free Cone Day was the most successful yet, with more than one million scoops shared with consumers.

● Cornetto delivered low-single-digit growth, supported by the launch of Pistachio MAX in Europe and Türkiye and an improved ‘windmill’ structure for its famous topping as well as an on-trend fruit sorbet variant in Europe, China, and selected Southeast Asia markets.

● The Heartbrand delivered mid-single-digit growth, driven by the strong performance of Solero within the core range and newly introduced Bonbons, as well as the continued momentum of Volcanix in Europe and Türkiye.

Innovation

Growth continued to be powered by market-making innovation:

Our core portfolio superiority was enhanced with the success of new range additions, such as Magnum Signature La Pistache and La Peche in Europe. New pint flavours for Ben & Jerry’s, including strawberry doughnut-ee and churrifically churros-y, are among the top 10 new ice cream products in the UK, Netherlands, and Germany.

We continued to create the “perfect portfolio” with a clear offer across all price points, including new launches for Popsicle in partnership with Hello Kitty and Bluey in the US, and reinventing Kwality Wall's in India to lead with a new, improved, dairy recipe.

We are taking our premium brands increasingly multi-format. Magnum sandwiches and ball cones launched strongly in Türkiye, and Ben & Jerry’s sticks make up four of the top 10 super premium novelty innovations in the US, with Ben & Jerry’s sandwiches the number one impulse ice cream new product in the UK.

Our category expanding innovation continued with the launch of Yasso pints in the US, tapping growing demand for healthier scoopable frozen desserts, and Ice Balls in Asia.

​

​

Channels

Our frontline-first model and ownership culture drove growth in all channels. The At-Home channel grew mid-single-digit, supported by improved service levels, which enhanced availability. Growth was further supported by stronger in-store execution, driven by more frequent visits from our dedicated sales force and a greater focus on merchandising. In the US, we continued to rebuild our business in the value and club segments. The Away-from-Home channel delivered mid-single-digit growth, supported by the continued expansion of our cabinet fleet in key markets – including India, Pakistan, China, and Mexico – setting us up better for the key summer season. Digital commerce maintained double-digit growth, driven by solid execution and supported by strong collaboration with key partners as well as improved digital assets.

Productivity

Our productivity programme started in 2024 and is on track to deliver planned savings of €500 million in the medium term. During the first half, we delivered €90 million in savings, including €70 million in supply chain and €20 million from overheads. We have continued to reduce waste, improve factory utilisation, and debottleneck our supply chain.

Perimeter and TSA progress

Our acquisitions in India and Portugal were completed on 30 March 2026 and 1 April 2026 respectively. Consistent with the definition of OSG, which includes changes in sales of acquired businesses from the date of business combination, the growth of India and Portugal has been reflected in reported OSG, Organic Volume Growth (OVG), and Organic Price growth (OPG) from the second quarter onwards. We have appointed six strategic partners that will form the backbone of our future technology stack, and we are now entering a key phase of transformation, building our systems, processes and capabilities. All TSA exits planned for the first half of 2026 were concluded on time, and we continue working to exit remaining TSAs by the end of 2027.

​

Turkish Competition Authority Investigation Update

The Turkish Competition Authority (TCA) has opened an investigation into our subsidiary in Türkiye focused on the use of cabinets in small retail outlets. While they do this, they have announced an interim measure that, at retail points with closed net sales areas of 100 square metres or less, where no other freezer cabinet directly accessible to consumers is present, 30% of the total cabinet capacity of each TMICC-owned freezer cabinet shall be allocated to competing products or left empty. The Company has until 15 August 2026 to implement the interim measure, and we will continue to cooperate with the TCA throughout the process.

​

​

Full Year 2026 Outlook

​

Whilst we are mindful of continued uncertainty in the global environment, particularly in the Middle East and the associated knock-on effects to inputs costs, our direct regional exposure remains limited, and we are taking mitigating actions. Our focus is on executing our growth strategy and productivity programme, and we are reaffirming our full year outlook.

We expect Organic Sales Growth for 2026 to be between 3% to 5% and an Adjusted EBITDA margin improvement of 40 to 60bps, on a comparable perimeter basis with 2025. The reported improvement in Adjusted EBITDA margin is expected to be 0 to 20bps, primarily due to the impact of the acquisition of the India business.

(a) India and Portugal were not in the perimeter and paid royalty for the use of TMICC brands. To reflect the underlying performance of the region, OSG and OPG have been presented by excluding these royalties.

Europe & ANZ delivered a solid performance, with +4.1% OSG and market share gains in key markets. Growth was volume-driven, supported by favourable weather towards the end of the period. France and the UK were the main growth drivers in the region, with France delivering double-digit growth and the UK posting mid-single-digit growth. In Italy, we continued to execute our turnaround plan, stabilising sales and market share, following a prolonged period of decline.

Magnum and Ben & Jerry’s performed strongly, delivering high single-digit and mid-single digit growth respectively, supported by new format innovations and new flavours. Growth was enabled by improved availability and on-shelf execution, with key wins including new listings.

Adjusted EBIT margin improved +100bps despite -50bps headwind due to lower royalties from India. Strong gross margin delivery was partially offset by previously allocated depreciation charged as cash costs, which adversely impacted Adjusted EBITDA margin by -90bps.

​

The Americas delivered +3.2% OSG and continued to gain market share in both the US and Mexico, while continuing to execute our turnaround plan in Brazil, where the business remained in decline. Reported revenue was -1.1% versus last year, due to -4.1% impact from forex translation.

In North America, growth was driven by our leading US brands, with Yasso and Popsicle continuing double-digit growth and Ben & Jerry’s outperforming the broader market, resulting in market share gains.

Innovation continues to revitalise our US portfolio. Strategic partnerships – including with Hershey and Disney – supported growth across key brands, while Popsicle benefitted from successful collaborations with Hello Kitty and Bluey. Ben & Jerry’s delivered strong growth, especially during the second quarter, supported by the launch of stick and sandwich formats.

Growth was further supported by increased availability across the value and club segments for the At-Home channel, as well as through digital commerce. Continued expansion of our cabinet fleet in Latin America strengthened our presence in the Away-from-Home channel.

​

​

Adjusted EBIT margin improved +140bps due to carry-over pricing effect from H2 2025 and savings from our productivity programme, which more than offset increased distribution costs. Adjusted EBITDA improved +50bps, due to higher EBIT partially offset by previously allocated depreciation charged as cash costs.

​

AMEA continued to grow with +7.6% OSG. Türkiye performed strongly with double-digit growth despite being impacted by the measures imposed by the Turkish Competition Authority (TCA). Pakistan continued double-digit momentum, while Indonesia achieved mid-single-digit growth and significant share gains. India, which was included in the perimeter from the second quarter onwards, also delivered double-digit growth. OSG was moderated by China, which was impacted by unfavourable weather towards the end of the period.

Reported revenue increased +9.0%, including +6.8% acquisition impact from India and -5.2% forex translation effects. Growth was driven by innovations from our global brands, such as the Magnum sandwich in Türkiye, and market-specific launches including Cornetto multi-layer sticks as well as further premiumisation of the core Cornetto range, including a new windmill structure and a fruit sorbet variant. This was achieved by driving consumption occasions and expanding market penetration through festive activations, as well as joint business plans with retail partners, resulting in greater product availability and consumer reach.

Adjusted EBIT margin declined -190bps due to significant external headwinds, including material cost inflation, hyperinflation and measures imposed by the TCA, as well as our acquisition in India. These impacts were partly mitigated by selective pricing actions and disciplined execution of our cost management programme. Adjusted EBITDA margin decreased by -270bps, also reflecting previously allocated depreciation charged as cash costs.

Additional commentary on the unaudited condensed financial statements (H1 2026)

​

Finance costs

Net finance costs totalled €72 million (H1 2025: €10 million), primarily driven by interest cost on credit facilities and bonds. During H1 2025, finance costs did not include any allocation of interest incurred by Unilever or interest bearing fundings.

Taxation

Adjusted effective tax rate for the first half was 30.2% (H1 2025: 21.5%), due to factors including higher unrecognised losses, non-deductible interest costs, together with a one-off benefit arising from tax settlements in the prior year. The effective tax rate was 30.4% (H1 2025: 20.7%). For the full year 2026, the adjusted effective tax rate excluding the impact of prior year tax settlements is expected to be around 27%, at the upper end of our medium-term plan.

Net monetary loss

Net monetary loss arising from hyperinflation adjustments for Türkiye was €13 million (H1 2025: gain of €27 million). The first-half loss compared to a gain for last year is related to a higher net monetary asset position, driven by indirect tax receivables recognised on asset transfers.

​

​

Net debt

Net debt was €3,264 million (FY 2025: €2,967 million; H1 2025: €300 million). The increase compared with year-end 2025 primarily reflects additional funding raised to support our strategic growth initiatives, including acquisitions completed during the period, and to meet working capital requirements as the Company increasingly operates as a standalone business. This was partially offset by a higher cash balance at period end.

Compared with the same period last year, net debt increased primarily as a result of debt financing raised in November 2025 to fund the settlement of amounts payable to Unilever arising from the separation.

Finance and liquidity

During the first half no bonds matured, were repaid, nor issued. On 30 June 2026, the Company had undrawn facilities and revolving credit facilities aggregating to €1.1 billion.

​

​

​

Principal Risks

​

The principal risks and uncertainties faced by TMICC and its subsidiaries are set out on pages 36 to 39 of the 2025 Annual Report and in the ‘Cautionary Statement’. The nature and potential impact of these risks remain substantially unchanged for the remaining six months of 2026.

​

​

​

​

Cautionary statement

​

This document may contain forward-looking statements, including ‘forward-looking statements’ within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, concerning the financial condition, results of operations and businesses of The Magnum Ice Cream Company N.V. (the ‘Company’). All statements other than statements of historical fact are, or may be deemed to be, forward-looking statements. Words such as ‘will’, ‘aim’, ‘expects’, ‘anticipates’, ‘intends’, ‘looks’, ‘believes’, ‘vision’, ‘ambition’, ‘target’, ‘goal’, ‘plan’, ‘potential’, ‘work towards’, ‘may’, ‘milestone’, ‘objectives’, ‘outlook’, ‘probably’, ‘project’, ‘risk’, ‘seek’, ‘continue’, ‘projected’, ‘estimate’, ‘achieve’ or the negative of these terms, and other similar expressions of future performance or results and their negatives, are intended to identify such forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements also include, but are not limited to, statements and information regarding the Company’s strategy, plans and expected trends, financial results and results of operations, including trends in the global ice cream market, the Company’s outlook and expected modelled or potential financial results including, sales growth and Adjusted EBITDA margin improvement, expectations with respect to the Company’s productivity programme, the anticipated growth of the global ice cream market, expectations with respect to Company’s strategic partners, statements with respect to external environment, statements relating to costs and anticipated benefits from pricing such as increase in supply chain costs, plans and ambitions of the Company to maintain a leadership position in the global ice cream market, statements with respect to the Turkish Competition Authority investigation, statements regarding the Company’s exposure to the Middle East and impact of geopolitical events and hostilities, including those in the Middle East as well as consequences of mitigating actions, statements on the Company’s financial results and result of operations, the Company’s expected financial and operational position, finalisation of exits from remaining TSAs by the end of 2027. Forward-looking statements can be made in writing but also may be made verbally by directors, officers and employees of the Company (including during management presentations) in connection with this document. These forward-looking statements are based upon current expectations, assumptions, plans and projections regarding anticipated developments and other factors affecting the Company. They are not historical facts, nor are they guarantees of future performance or outcomes. All forward-looking statements contained in this document are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section. Readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.

Because these forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, a number of which may be beyond the Company’s control, there are important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Among other risks and uncertainties, the material or principal factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements included in this document are: the Company’s global brands not meeting consumer preferences; the Company’s ability to innovate and remain competitive; the Company’s investment choices in its portfolio management; the effect of climate change on the Company’s business; the Company’s ability to find sustainable solutions to its packaging; significant changes or deterioration in customer relationships; the Company’s reliance on Unilever; the recruitment and retention of talented employees; disruptions in the Company’s supply chain and distribution; increases or volatility in the cost of raw materials and commodities; the production of safe and high-quality products; secure and reliable IT infrastructure; execution of acquisitions, divestitures and business transformation projects; economic, social and political risks and natural disasters; financial risks; failure to meet high ethical standards; and managing regulatory, tax and legal matters and practices with regard to the interpretation and application thereof and emerging and developing ESG reporting standards including differences in implementation of climate and sustainability policies in the regions where the Company operates. The foregoing list of risk factors is not exhaustive. You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties described in the “Risk Factors” section of the Company’s annual report for the year 2025 and filed by the Company on Form 20-F with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the ‘SEC’) on 18 March 2026, the Company’s other documents on file, and filed from time to time, by the Company with the SEC. These filings do or will identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that the Company does not presently know or that the Company currently believe are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements.

​

​

The forward-looking statements are based on our beliefs, assumptions and expectations of our future performance, taking into account all information currently available to us. Forward-looking statements are not predictions of future events. These beliefs, assumptions and expectations can change as a result of many possible events or factors, not all of which are known to us. If a change occurs, our business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations may vary materially from those expressed in our forward-looking statements.

The forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this document. Except as required by any applicable law or regulation, the Company expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect any change in the Company’s expectations with regard thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based. New risks and uncertainties arise over time, and it is not possible for us to predict those events or how they may affect us. In addition, we cannot assess the impact of each factor on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

Market and Industry Information

All references to market share, market data, industry statistics and industry forecasts in this document consist of estimates compiled by industry professionals, competitors, organisations or analysts, of publicly available information or of the Group’s own assessment of its sales and markets. Rankings are based on sales unless otherwise stated. None of the Company or its affiliates, representatives, partners, members, directors, officers, employees, advisers or agents. make any representation or warranty with respect to the accuracy of such information, and each expressly disclaim any responsibility or liability for any damages or losses in connection with the use of such information herein.

Comparability

Prior to 1 July 2025, TMICC did not operate as a standalone Group. Whilst a part of Unilever, TMICC has historically been reported as an operating segment under IFRS 8 in Unilever’s annual report and HY condensed financial reporting (‘Ice Cream’). The basis of preparation of the financial information utilised in this announcement is in Appendix A and differs from the Ice Cream segment as presented historically in Unilever’s financial reporting. As a result, while the two sets of financial information are similar, there are certain differences in accounting and disclosure under IFRS. These differences primarily include:

● Removal of countries (Russia, India, Portugal) which are not in the carve-out perimeter, but historically reported within ‘Ice Cream’

● Other minor adjustments

Non-IFRS Financial Measures Definitions

The information in this announcement contains certain measures not defined by, or calculated in accordance with, IFRS, including Organic Sales Growth (OSG), Organic Price Growth (OPG), Organic Volume Growth (OVG), Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted EBIT, Adjusted EBIT margin, Adjusted Earnings per Share, Free Cash Flow, Net Debt and Adjusted Effective Tax Rate. The non-IFRS financial measures presented in this announcement may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies, have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for, financial information presented in compliance with IFRS. The definition and reconciliation with IFRS measures are presented in Appendix B.

^(a) In H1 2025, depreciation, amortisation and impairment (direct and allocated) reflects amortisation and depreciation charges relating to intangible assets, property, plant and equipment, and leased assets and liabilities included in the condensed consolidated balance sheet and an allocation of amortisation and depreciation charges for those software and land and buildings used by the Ice Cream Business but which were not transferred to the Group. In H1 2026, these depreciation and amortisation costs are included within the TSA charge from Unilever, reflecting the Group’s continued use of those assets during the Transitional Period.

^(b) In H1 2025, Unilever used a centralised approach to cash management and financing its operations, transactions between Unilever and the Ice Cream Business were accounted for through Invested Capital. Accordingly, none of the cash, cash equivalents, debtor related interest income and expense at the corporate level were assigned to the Ice Cream Business. Cash that was held in newly incorporated holding companies for the sole purpose of the restructuring prior to demerger has also been excluded. Only cash, debt and related interest held by entities that only contain Ice Cream related trading activities was assigned in H1 2025. The other transactions with Unilever and non-controlling interests reflected the fact that the Ice Cream Business did not retain cash generated from operating activities and represented the cash outflow associated with repatriating such cash to Unilever, net of any movements in working capital, financing and investing activities. This balance represents Group transactions and cash pooling activities between Unilever and the combined Ice Cream Business.

^(c) Cash and cash equivalent at the end of the period in the statement of cash flow includes bank overdrafts of €3 million (H1 2025: €4 million), excluding those the cash and cash equivalents at H1 2026 is €577 million ( H1 2025: €49 million).

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The accompanying notes are an integral part of these condensed consolidated financial statements.

1.Basis of preparation, accounting policies, estimates and judgements

Reporting Entity

The Magnum Ice Cream Company N.V. (‘TMICC’) is a public limited liability company (naamloze vennootschap) domiciled in the Netherlands. TMICC is headquartered in Amsterdam and its registered address is Reguliersdwarsstraat 63, 1017BK Amsterdam, the Netherlands. The condensed consolidated financial statements of TMICC as at and for the six months ended 30 June 2026 comprise TMICC and its subsidiaries (together referred to as ‘TMICC’, the ‘Company’ or the ‘Group’). TMICC is the global leader in the ice cream industry, operating in 80 markets with an extensive portfolio of global and local brands.

TMICC derives from the demerger of the Ice Cream Business previously owned by Unilever PLC (Unilever Group) and is publicly listed with its shares admitted to trading on Euronext Amsterdam, the London Stock Exchange, and the New York Stock Exchange on 8 December 2025.

Basis of Preparation and Accounting policies

These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and as endorsed by the European Union. They have been prepared on a going concern basis using the same accounting policies, judgements and estimates as those applied in the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025. They do not include all disclosures required for annual financial statements and should be read together with the Group’s 2025 annual financial statements. Selected explanatory notes are included where relevant to explain events and transactions significant to an understanding of the changes in the Group’s financial position and performance since 31 December 2025.

Comparative information for the first half of 2025 represents combined carve-out financial information derived from Unilever’s consolidated accounting records prior to legal execution of the demerger. During that period, the results included allocations of certain centrally incurred and corporate costs from Unilever. Following the demerger, these were replaced by charges under TSAs.

These condensed consolidated financial statements were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on 30 July 2026.

Standards and amendments effective from 1 January 2026 were not applicable or material to the Group. IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements, effective from 1 January 2027, will replace IAS 1 and introduce new requirements for the presentation of the income statement, including defined categories and disclosures for management-defined performance measures. The Group is currently assessing the impact of IFRS 18. All other standards, amendments and interpretations issued but not yet effective are not expected to have a material impact on the Group.

Due to rounding, the figures presented in the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes may not add up precisely to the totals provided and percentages may not precisely reflect the absolute figures.

Seasonality

The operations of the Ice Cream Business are subject to seasonal fluctuations that affect financial performance. Historically, revenue and adjusted EBITDA are higher in the first half of the financial year driven by strong activity in the most seasonally affected markets. No adjustments have been made to defer or anticipate revenues or costs that are seasonal, cyclical, or occasional in nature.

2. Segment information

The operating segment information for the Group is provided based on three geographical areas: Europe & ANZ, Americas and AMEA.

​

​	​	​	​	​	​	​	​	​	​	​	​	​	​	​	​	​

​

^(a) In the Condensed combined carve-out financial statements for H1 2025 this was referred to as Rest of World.

​

​

^(b) In H1 2025, Revenue and operating profit included royalties of €9 million primarily from Unilever’s ice cream business in India. In H1 2026, due to the acquisition of India no material royalties were recognised (H1 2026: €0.9 million).

^(c) Adjusting items include acquisition and disposal related costs of €110 million (H1 2025: €121m) and restructuring costs of €19 million (H1 2025: credit of €26 million). In the first half of 2025, a net release of €43 million was recognised in relation to restructuring provisions, partly offset by €17 million of charges for supply chain projects and other corporate initiatives. The release was mainly driven by higher redeployment of employees who had been expected to exit as at FY 2024. Adjusting items are classified separately due to their nature and/or frequency of occurrence. Net monetary gain/loss arising from hyperinflationary economies is also an adjusting item due to its nature and size, however, it is not included in operating profit therefore not included within adjusting items above.

Adjusted EBITDA is the primary measure by which we evaluate segment profit or loss and make resource-allocation and performance-assessment decisions.

3. Taxation

The tax charge for the first half of 2026 was determined using jurisdiction-specific effective tax rates and may not be representative of future periods. The effective tax rate for the first half is 30.4%, compared with 20.7% in 2025. The tax rate is calculated by dividing the tax charge by the pre-tax profit. The primary drivers for the increase compared to H1 2025 effective tax rate are higher unrecognised losses, non-deductible interest costs, together with the prior year inclusion of a one-off benefit arising from tax settlements. In addition, H1 2026 includes the impact of the non-deductible monetary loss related to Türkiye (2025: non-taxable monetary gain).

4. Financial Instruments

The Company aims to protect the value of financial investments, while maximising returns. The fair value of financial assets is the same as the carrying amount for H1 2026, FY 2025, and H1 2025. Cash resources are shown below.

Financial assets (unaudited) ^(a)

​

​	​	​	​	​	​	​
In millions of €	​ ​ ​	H1 2026	​ ​ ​	FY 2025	​ ​ ​	H1 2025

Total financial liabilities		372		3,473		3,845		105		3,311		3,416		89		260		349

​

^(a) Financial liabilities exclude trade payables and other liabilities.

^(b) Bank loans and overdrafts do not include any secured liabilities. This includes Commercial Papers of €200 million raised in June 2026.

^(c) Other financial liabilities consist of an option to acquire non-controlling interests in Magnum RFM Ice Cream Inc from RFM Corporation, the Philippines Joint Venture (the ‘Philippines Put Option’). The Group holds 50% plus one share in the joint venture. According to the shareholder agreement established in March 1999, RFM Corporation is entitled, each year within one month following 31 December year end, to require the Group to acquire all or a portion of RFM Corporation’s shares in the joint venture at a price determined by the agreement. RFM Corporation has executed a waiver stipulating that they waive their right to exercise the option until April 2028.

There have been no material changes in the classification of the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities since FY 2025. Additionally, there have been no significant movements between the fair value hierarchy classifications during this period.

Calculation of fair values

The fair values of the financial assets and liabilities are defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair values are consistent with those used in FY 2025.

​

​

Assets and liabilities carried at fair value

Derivatives liabilities of €31 million (FY 2025: €28 million) and short-term deposits of €315 million (FY 2025: 39 million) are valued using valuation techniques with market observable inputs (Level 2). There are no derivatives assets and other cash equivalents valued at quoted prices for identical instruments (Level 1) or not based on observable market data (Level 3).

The Philippines Put Option is valued annually at the redemption value with subsequent changes in finance costs (Level 3). The redemption value is derived from a formula defined in the shareholder agreement which uses historical financial information, multipliers, and CPI adjustments. The impact in the income statement for the first half of 2026 due to the Philippines Put Option is €nil (H1 2025: €nil).

Assets and liabilities carried at amortised cost

Bonds issued by the Group are measured at amortised cost. The fair value of these bonds using quoted prices in active markets (Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy) is €2,962 million (FY 2025: €2,998 million and H1 2025: €nil). The models incorporate various inputs including the credit quality of counterparties, foreign exchange spot and forward rates, interest rate curves and forward rate curves of the underlying commodities.

Other financial assets and liabilities

Cash and short-term deposits, trade and other current receivables, overdrafts, trade payables and other current liabilities have fair values that approximate to their carrying amounts due to their short-term nature.

Lease liabilities and non-current receivables and payables have a fair value that approximate the carrying value based on the net present value of the anticipated future cash flows associated with these instruments using rates currently available for debt on similar terms, credit risk and remaining maturities.

5. Earnings per share (EPS)

The earnings per share calculations are based on the weighted average number of ordinary shares of TMICC in issue during the period less the weighted average number of shares held as treasury shares.

In calculating diluted earnings per share, the weighted average number of shares is adjusted to reflect the dilutive effect of potential ordinary shares, principally arising from employee and executive share-based payment arrangements.

Prior to 6 December 2025, the Company was under the control of Unilever and did not have any issued shares. Accordingly, EPS has not been calculated for H1 2025.

EPS for total operations for the six months is calculated as follows:

​

​	​	​
​	​	H1 2026
EPS – Basic		​
Net profit attributable to shareholders’ equity (in € millions)		342
Average number of shares (millions of share units)		612
EPS – basic (€)		0.56
EPS – Diluted		​
Net profit attributable to shareholders’ equity (in € millions)		342
Adjusted average number of shares (millions of share units)		617
EPS – diluted (€)		0.55

​

The number of ordinary shares has not changed compared to 31 December 2025.

On 16 June 2026, the Group granted 10,952,635 share options under the Foundation Plan for Growth, a one-off equity-settled share-based payment arrangement for selected senior executives. The options vest in two equal tranches after three and four years. They are subject to continued employment and a relative Total Shareholder Return (TSR) market condition. They are measured at grant-date fair value using an option pricing model (Monte Carlo Simulation), with the related expense recognised over the vesting period with a corresponding entry in equity.

​

​

6. Acquisitions and Disposals

Acquisitions

Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition accounting method as at the acquisition date, which is the date at which control is transferred to the Group.

Deal completion date	Acquired business
30 March 2026	61.90% shareholding in Kwality Wall’s (India) Limited (‘KWIL’). KWIL comprises the Indian ice cream business, including manufacturing, distribution, sales and related operations. An open offer to acquire up to 26% of KWIL’s public shares was announced on 16 February 2026 and completed on 7 May 2026, increasing the Group’s shareholding to 61.91%.
1 April 2026	100% of UL Ice Cream Comercial, Lda. (‘ULICC’) which is the demerged Ice-cream marketing and sales operations in Portugal of Unilever Fima Lda. The sourcing unit acquisition will complete separately, following receipt of additional regulatory and operational approvals. A refundable €16 million advance payment has been made with respect to the sourcing unit until legal ownership transfers to TMICC.

​

The acquisitions are consistent with the Group’s strategy to establish a standalone global ice cream business following the separation from Unilever.

During the three months ended 30 June 2026, KWIL contributed €79 million revenue and €10 million operating profit, while ULICC contributed €44 million revenue and €10 million operating profit. Had both acquisitions occurred on 1 January 2026, management estimates that consolidated revenue and operating profit for the period would have been €4,749 million and €572 million, respectively.

The following table sets out the opening balance sheets which remain provisional pending finalisation of the purchase price allocation. This has not yet been completed as the transactions took place at the start of the second quarter.

​

​	​	​	​	​	​	​
In millions of €	​ ​ ​	KWIL	​ ​ ​	ULICC	​ ​ ​	Total
​		​		​		​
Intangible assets		10		10		20
Property, plant and equipment		117		14		131
Other non-current assets		1		1		2
Trade and other receivables		23		10		33
Inventories		28		19		47
Other current assets		1		2		3
Non-current liabilities		(45)		(3)		(48)
Current liabilities		(66)		(26)		(92)
Total identifiable net assets at fair value		69		27		96
​	​	​	​	​	​	​
Non-controlling interest		(25)		-		(25)
Goodwill arising on acquisition		235		125		360
Purchase consideration transferred		279		152		431

​

For both acquisitions, the consideration transferred was measured at fair value at the acquisition date. The consideration was settled entirely in cash, with no contingent consideration or equity instruments issued.

Goodwill primarily reflects expected growth opportunities, operational efficiencies and synergies. Specifically, for KWIL and ULICC, this represents the customer and distribution growth, local market expertise as well as product innovation, and premiumisation opportunities. The amount of goodwill is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

Disposal of Venezuelan Ice Cream Business

During H1 2025, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its Venezuela business, which was classified as held for sale at 30 June 2025, with the transaction completing on 3 July 2025 and resulting in a net loss on disposal of €4 million.

7. Events after Balance Sheet date

Subsequent to the reporting date, the Group repaid in full the outstanding balance of €190 million drawn under the term loan facility previously classified as non-current liabilities as well as €150 million to Unilever in respect of the working capital subsidy. Further commercial papers of €290 million were issued with repayments of €340 million leading to a decrease from €200 million to €150 million, which is in line with ongoing short-term liquidity management. These transactions do not have any impact on net debt as at the reporting date.

Appendix B Definitions and Reconciliation of non-IFRS Financial measures

​

The sections below provide reconciliations of the closest measures prepared in accordance with IFRS to the non-IFRS measures used by the Group.

Constant currency

The Group uses “constant rate” and “organic” measures primarily for internal performance analysis and targeting purposes. The Group presents certain items, percentages and movements, using constant exchange rates, which do not include the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Constant currency values are calculated by translating both the current and the prior period local currency amounts using the prior year average exchange rates into euro, except for the local currency of entities that operate in hyperinflationary economies. These currencies are translated into euro using the prior year closing exchange rate before the application of IAS 29.

OSG, OVG, OPG

OSG refers to the increase in revenue for the period, excluding any change in revenue resulting from disposals, changes in currency and price growth in excess of 26%. in hyperinflationary economies. Inflation of 26% per year compounded over three years is one of the key indicators within IAS 29 to assess whether an economy is deemed to be hyperinflationary. The impact of disposals is excluded from OSG for a period of 12 calendar months from the applicable closing date. OSG includes increases or decreases in sales of an acquired business immediately following the business combination, unless a reliable historical baseline is not available for the 12 months prior to the acquisition, in which case sales during the first 12 months of the acquisition are excluded from OSG. The Group believes this measure provides valuable additional information on the organic sales performance of the business and it is a key measure used internally.

OVG is part of OSG and means, for the applicable period, the increase in revenue in such period calculated as the sum of: (i) the increase in revenue attributable to the volume of products sold; and (ii) the increase in revenue attributable to the composition of products sold during such period. OVG therefore excludes any impact on OSG due to changes in prices.

OPG is part of OSG and means, for the applicable period, the increase in revenue attributable to changes in prices during the period. OPG therefore excludes the impact to OSG due to (i) the volume of products sold; and (ii) the composition of products sold during the period. In determining changes in price, the Group excludes the impact of price growth in excess of 26% per year in hyperinflationary economies as explained in OSG above.

The following table presents a reconciliation of changes in the IFRS measure of revenue to OSG for H1 2026 and H1 2025:

​

​	​	​	​	​
​	​ ​ ​	H1 2026	​ ​ ​	H1 2025
Revenue (in € millions)		4,691		4,503
Revenue growth(a) (%)		4.2		2.5
Effect of acquisitions(b) (%)		2.3		-
Effect of disposals(c) (%)		-		(0.1)
Effect of currency-related items(d) (%)		(2.7)		(3.0)
of which:		​		​
Exchange rate changes (%)		(3.1)		(4.1)
Extreme price growth in hyperinflationary markets (%)		0.3		1.1
OSG(e) (%)		4.7		5.8
Of which:		​		​
OVG(f)		2.5		3.5
OPG(g)		2.2		2.1

​

(a) Revenue growth is calculated as current period revenue minus prior year revenue divided by prior period revenue.

(b) Effect of acquisitions is calculated using constant exchange rates and is the difference between revenue growth and what revenue growth would have been if the revenue associated with acquisitions was removed from the current year. This excludes the change in revenue of the acquisitions compared to their historical base, if this change has been included in the OSG.

(c) Effect of disposals is calculated using constant exchange rates and is the difference between revenue growth and what revenue growth would have been if the revenue associated with disposals was removed from the prior year.

(d) Effect of currency-related items is comprised of the effect of foreign currency exchange rate movements on revenue growth and price growth in excess of 26% per year in hyperinflationary economies which is excluded from OSG. The calculation of effect of currency-related items is as follows: Effect of currency-related items = [(1+Effect of exchange rate changes) multiplied by (1+ Effect of extreme price growth in hyperinflationary markets)] minus 1. There may be minor discrepancies between the number arrived at through the application of this calculation and the final figure set out above, which is as a result of rounding.

(e) OSG is revenue growth adjusted to remove the impacts of acquisitions, disposals and the impact of currency-related items (being movements in exchange rates and extreme price growth in hyperinflationary markets). The calculation of OSG is as follows: (1 plus revenue growth) divided by [(1 plus effect of acquisitions) multiplied by (1 plus effect of disposals) multiplied by (1 plus effect of currency related items)] minus 1. There may be minor discrepancies between the number arrived at through the application of this calculation and the final figure set out above, which is as a result of rounding. The reconciliation of OSG to revenue is as set out in the table above.

(f) OVG and OPG are multiplied on a compounded basis to arrive at OSG through application of the following formula: OSG equals (1 plus OVG) multiplied by (1 plus OPG) minus 1.

(g) OPG in excess of 26% per year in hyperinflationary economies has been excluded when calculating the OSG in the tables above, and an equal and opposite amount is shown as extreme price growth in hyperinflationary markets.

​

​

Adjusting items

Several non-IFRS measures are Adjusted to exclude items defined as adjusting. Management considers adjusting items to be significant, or unusual or non-recurring in nature and so believes that separately identifying them helps in understanding the financial performance of the Group from period to period. Adjusting items within operating profit are:

● gains or losses on business disposals which arise from business disposal projects;

● restructuring costs which are costs that are directly attributable to a restructuring project. Management defines a restructuring project as a strategic, major initiative that delivers cost savings and materially changes either the scope of the business or the manner in which the business is conducted;

● impairments of assets which includes impairments of goodwill, intangible assets, and property, plant and equipment; and

● other approved items which are any additional matters considered by management to be significant and outside the course of normal operations;

● acquisition and disposal-related costs which are costs that are directly attributable to a business acquisition or disposal project.

Adjusting items not in operating profit but within net profit are net monetary gain/(loss) arising from hyperinflationary economies and significant and unusual items in net finance cost and taxation.

Several non-IFRS measures are adjusted to exclude items defined as adjusting. The following table sets out the calculation of adjusting items for H1 2026 and H1 2025.

​

​	​	​	​	​
In millions of €	​ ​ ​	H1 2026	​ ​ ​	H1 2025
Acquisition and disposal-related costs(a)		(110)		(121)
Restructuring costs(b)		(19)		26
Other		-		(2)
Total adjusting items within operating profit		(129)		(97)
Net monetary (loss)/gain		(13)		27
Total adjusting items not in operating profit	​	(13)	​	27
Total adjusting items		(142)		(70)

​

(a) H1 2026 and H1 2025 comprise costs relating to the separation and establishment.

(b) H1 2026 mainly relates to supply chain projects and other corporate initiatives. H1 2025 comprises a net release of €26 million related to the restructuring provision. The release was driven by a significantly higher redeployment of employees in 2025 that were due to exit at the end of 2024.

Adjusted EBIT, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBIT margin, Adjusted EBITDA margin

Adjusted EBIT is defined as operating profit before the impact of adjusting items within operating profit. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as Adjusted EBIT before the impact of depreciation, amortisation. Adjusted EBITDA margin and Adjusted EBIT margin is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBIT divided by revenue for the period. Those measures are used to evaluate the performance of the Group and its segments. Items are classified as adjusting due to their nature and/or frequency of occurrence. The Group’s management believes this measure provides useful information in understanding and evaluating the Group’s operating results.

The following table sets out a reconciliation of net profit to Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted EBITDA for H1 2026 and H1 2025 as well as Revenue to Adjusted EBIT margin and Adjusted EBITDA margin.

​

Adjusted Earnings per Share (Adjusted EPS)

Adjusted earnings per share (Adjusted EPS) is calculated as profit attributable to shareholders’ equity net of adjusting items divided by the diluted average number of ordinary shares. In calculating profit attributable to shareholders’ equity net of adjusting items, net profit attributable to shareholders’ equity is Adjusted to eliminate the post-tax impact of adjusting items. This measure removes the impact of non-recurring, one-off items from earnings per share and provides better visibility of the underlying performance.

The reconciliation of net profit attributable to shareholders’ equity to profit attributable to shareholders’ equity net of adjusting items is as follows:

​

​	​	​
In millions of €	​ ​ ​	H1 2026
Net Profit		349
Non-controlling interests		7
Net profit attributable to shareholders’ equity – used for basic and diluted earnings per share		342
Post-tax impact of adjusting items		101
Profit attributable to shareholders’ equity net of adjusting items – used for Adjusted earnings per share		442
Diluted average number of shares (millions of share units)		617
Diluted EPS (€)		0.55
Adjusted EPS - diluted		0.72

​

Prior to 6 December 2025, the Group was under the control of Unilever and did not have any issued shares. Accordingly, Adjusted EPS has not been calculated for H1 2025.

Free Cash Flow (FCF)

FCF is defined as net cash flow from operating activities, less net capital expenditure and net interest payments. It does not represent residual cash flows entirely available for discretionary purposes; for example, the repayment of principal amounts borrowed is not deducted from FCF. FCF reflects an additional way of viewing the Group’s liquidity that management believes is useful to investors because it represents cash flows that could be used for distribution of dividends, repayment of debt or to fund the Group’s strategic initiatives, including acquisitions, if any.

The following table sets out a reconciliation of net cash flow from operating activities to FCF for H1 2026 and H1 2025:

​

​	​	​	​	​
In millions of €	​ ​ ​	H1 2026	​ ​ ​	H1 2025
Net cash flow from operating activities		539		276
Net capital expenditure		(181)		(133)
Net interest paid		(85)		(5)
FCF		273		138
Net cash flow used in investing activities		(619)		(129)
Net cash flow from/(used in) financing activities		208		(164)

​

Net Debt

Net Debt is defined as the excess of total financial liabilities over cash and cash equivalents, other current financial assets and non-current financial asset derivatives that relate to financial liabilities. Management believes Net Debt provides valuable additional information on the summary presentation of the Group’s net financial liabilities and is a measure in common use elsewhere.

The following table sets out a reconciliation of total financial liabilities to Net Debt for H1 2026, FY2025 and H1 2025:

​

​	​	​	​	​	​	​
In millions of €	​ ​ ​	H1 2026	​ ​ ​	FY2025	​ ​ ​	H1 2025
Total financial liabilities		(3,845)		(3,416)		(349)
- Current		(372)		(105)		(89)
- Non-current		(3,473)		(3,311)		(260)
Cash and cash equivalents		577		441		49
Other current financial assets		3		8		-
Net debt		(3,264)		(2,967)		(300)

​

Adjusted Effective Tax Rate (Adjusted ETR)

Adjusted effective tax rate is calculated by dividing taxation excluding the tax impact of adjusting items by profit before tax excluding the impact of adjusting items. This measure reflects the Adjusted effective tax rate in relation to profit before tax excluding adjusting items before tax.

​

​

This is shown in the table below:

​

​	​	​	​	​
in millions of €	​ ​ ​	H1 2026	​ ​ ​	H1 2025
Taxation		153	​	122
Tax impact of:		​	​	​
Adjusting items within operating profit (a)		33	​	24
Adjusting items not in operating profit but within net profit (b)		9	​	(4)
Taxation before tax impact of adjusting items		195	​	142
Profit before taxation		502	​	586
Adjusting items within operating profit before tax (c)		129	​	97
Adjusting items not in operating profit but within net profit before tax (d)		13	​	(27)
Profit before tax excluding adjusting items before tax		644	​	656
Effective tax rate (%)		30.4%	​	20.7%
Adjusted effective tax rate (%)		30.2%	​	21.5%

​

(a) Tax impact of adjusting items within operating profit is the sum of the tax on each adjusting item, based on the applicable country tax rates and tax treatment

(b) Deferred tax effect of hyperinflationary adjustments and of purchase price allocation adjustments on deferred tax arising on separation

(c) See Note “Adjusting items”

(d) Net monetary loss/ (gain)

Appendix D – Comparatives re-presented to reflect customer returns

​

For quarterly reporting from Q3 2026, expected customer season-end returns will be accounted in the same quarter as related sales, rather than when the returns occur. This mainly relates to Türkiye and shifts a portion of revenue between quarters, reducing Q3 and increasing Q4 by equal amounts. Quarterly comparatives have been re-presented in the table below. This has no impact on half-year or full year reported results.
