Timoteo Di Maulo, CEO of Aperam, commented: “Aperam delivered a resilient performance in the second quarter, successfully improving our results and reducing leverage despite significant headwinds in Europe, where demand remains persistently depressed. Our differentiated portfolio with strong contributions from Brazil and Alloys has been the supporting factor. We’ve seen pricing pressure intensify throughout the quarter, adding another layer of complexity to an already challenging environment. As we look towards the second half of the year, the outlook remains full of uncertainties, however we are confident that with our trademark resilience and the added strength from our diversified portfolio we will continue to deliver value and further reduce our debt even in these difficult conditions.”
