Patrick Andre
Vesuvius plc - Chief Executive Officer, Executive Director

And with me this morning is the Mark Collis, Chief Financial Officer. I will start with some update on our performance during the first six months of the year before Mark gives you more details on our financials. I will then conclude with some perspective on the full year 2024 before opening the floor for questions.

Our revenues declined 2% on an underlying basis with a positive volume growth in steel, only partially compensating a significant volume decline in foundry. Our trading profit remained robust with a decline limited to 0.9% on an underlying basis. Despite the difficult market conditions, we could slightly increase our return on sales by 10 basis point to 10.4%.

We also continue to make progress in the management of our cash with a further reduction
