Belysse 1H24 adjusted EBITDA +75%, allowing leverage to drop to 3.2x

1H revenue declined by 8.3%, reflecting lower demand in both Europe and the US. Despite the weak demand, 1H Adjusted EBITDA improved by 75% on the back of lower COGS and reduced fixed costs. Importantly, the higher EBITDA is resulting in a significant decline in net leverage (to 3.2x). Valuation is attractive and prompts us to reiterate our Accumulate rating and € 1.6 target price.
