In line with our expectations, Sphera has reported another strong set of results for 2Q24. While the sales growth decelerated to 4% yoy, the costs remained under control, driving EBITDA expansion of 36% yoy, both spot on our forecasts. On the bottom line, Sphera delivered 59% yoy growth, 8ppts below our expectations, due to slight growth in the D&A and the effective tax rate. Following the publication of the results, Sphera organised a conference call, during which, besides the 2Q24 walkthrough,...
