Net profit of 339.6 million euros and net cash position of 524.4 million
In the first half of 2026, Ackermans & van Haaren generated net profit of 339.6 million euros, up 24% compared to the same period in the previous year.
The group reported a net cash position of 524.4 million euros at the end of the semester. This level constitutes one of the financial elements highlighted in the publication.
Core segments and Growth Capital support performance
According to the group, half-year performance rests on the contribution of core segments and an improvement within Growth Capital activities.
This combination is presented by Ackermans & van Haaren as the driver of net profit growth over the period. The statement thus places the growth in results in the contribution of its various activities rather than in an isolated factor.
Annual forecast raised and new 93 million participation in Grieg Aqua
Ackermans & van Haaren raised its outlook for the full year 2026: net profit should now grow by more than 10% for the year.
The group also announced a new stake of approximately 93 million euros in Grieg Aqua, a company active in salmon aquaculture. In the previous year, closed on December 31, 2025, net profit stood at 592.5 million euros.
