Yes. Good morning, good afternoon to everyone. Welcome to our conference call regarding the Q2 2025 results of NORMA Group. I'm Mark Wilhelms, Annette Stieve, our CFO, and I will guide you through the following slides. We'll answer your questions after the presentation as we always do.
Now let's move into the discussion of the Q2 results and proceed with the first slide. The macroeconomic environment in Q2 has not really changed compared to Q1 when we reported sales of EUR284.5 million. Moreover, headwinds from currency exchange, softer US dollar rates put an additional pressure on our top line. As a result, our net sales totaled EUR290.4 million in the second quarter of this year 2025.
Adjusted EBIT amounted to EUR23.4 million in the second quarter of 2025. The adjusted EBIT margin remained relatively stable at 8.1%, a number we had delivered, for example, in 2024 or 2023 full year, and it improved significantly quarter-over-quarter. You might remember that in Q1 of this year, we reported an adjusted EBIT margin of 3.6%.
