What this filing means

Sharp deterioration on every line that matters. Mondi's H1 2026 underlying EBITDA fell 33% to €379m, basic underlying EPS collapsed 73% to 11.6 euro cents, the EBITDA margin compressed roughly 490bps to 9.5%, and the interim dividend was cut 60% to 9.42 euro cents. A €320m impairments and restructuring charge pushed basic EPS into a 57.8c loss.
