Augros Cosmetic Packaging: Revenue up 8% in first half, net loss reduced
Cosmetic packaging manufacturer Augros Cosmetic Packaging, based in Alençon, published its first-half 2026 accounts on September 30, 2026.
The company shows revenue growth and reduces its net loss compared to the same period in 2025, in a context of market recovery and the end of customer inventory drawdown.
Revenue up 8% and losses decreasing
First-half 2026 revenue reached €5,568k, representing an 8% increase compared to 2025. The company attributes this growth primarily to market recovery, marked in the second quarter, and the end of customer inventory drawdown.
Operating loss stood at €979k, compared to a loss of €1,737k in the first half of 2025. Financial results came to -€158k, versus -€91k a year earlier, a change the company links to rising interest rates.
Half-year net loss stood at €1,136k, compared to a loss of €1,827k in the first half of 2025. Gross self-financing margin amounted to -€623k, compared to -€1,310k for the same period in 2025.
52% acceleration in second quarter 2026
The momentum of the period was concentrated in the second quarter of 2026, with 52% growth compared to the second quarter of 2025. This acceleration occurred in a context combining market recovery and the end of inventory drawdown.
The company notes that its surface treatment facility is benefiting from the return of subcontracting capacity work. These factors accompany a reduction in various loss levels compared to the first half of 2025.
Order books growing and going concern assumption retained
For the second half, the company indicates observing continued growth in its order books.
Going concern was retained when preparing the half-year accounts, taking into account the measures put in place to strengthen the company's financial resources over recent half-year periods. The accounts were subject to a limited review by the statutory auditor and were approved by the Supervisory Board.
