Bayer booked impairments and charges related to its agricultural business, where lower glyphosate prices weighed, leading to a widened second-quarter loss, it said Tuesday. The German pharmaceutical and agricultural company said impairment losses of 2.30 billion euros ($2.53 billion) dragged earnings, and posted a net loss for the quarter of EUR1.88 billion. In the same quarter the previous year, the net loss had been EUR298 million. Sales were EUR11.04 billion for the period, in line with a forecast the company gave when it revised its guidance on July 24. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization before special items–a key company metric–declined to EUR2.53 billion from EUR3.35 billion the previous year, in line with company expectations. Bayer confirmed the lowered guidance it issued on July 24 due to a significant decline in sales of glyphosate-based products. The guidance includes projected sales in a range of EUR48.5 billion and EUR49.5 billion for the full year, meaning a 2% to 3% decline. The Crop Science agricultural division is seen with a sales decline of 5%, while sales in the pharmaceutical business are expected roughly flat compared with the previous year, Bayer said.

Nanoco Group said its revenue for fiscal 2023 more than doubled on year and sees litigation proceeds from its Samsung settlement driving growth.

The U.K. nanomaterials group on Tuesday posted 5.6 million pounds ($7.2 million) in revenue for the year ended July 31 compared with GBP2.5 million the previous year. It said its underlying adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization was in line with the board’s expectations, but didn’t say what those were. For fiscal 2022, it reported and adjusted Ebitda loss of GBP2.1 million. The London-listed group said it expects the impact of the litigation settlement with Samsung to be in line with previous disclosures. In February, the group secured a $150 million litigation settlement with Samsung on a no fault basis for the alleged infringement of the group’s intellectual property. “The litigation proceeds allow us to drive the organic business forward while underpinning our firm commitment to return up to GBP40m of cash to shareholders in early 2024,” Chairman Christopher Richards said. Nanoco had GBP8.2 million in cash at the end of the period.

Rotork said pretax profit rose in the first half as revenue increased on growth across all divisions, and that it entered the second half with a record order book. The London-listed industrial flow-control equipment manufacturer said Tuesday the pretax profit was 60.2 million pounds ($77 million) compared with GBP44.6 million the year before. Revenue rose to GBP334.7 million from GBP280 million. The company said order intake rose 14% year on year to GBP386.9 million, driven predominantly by customer’s operational spend and included more large orders than it had seen for some time. The board declared an interim dividend of 2.55 pence a share, compared with 2.40 pence. “Whilst mindful of residual supply-chain challenges, we anticipate delivering further progress in 2023 in line with expectations on an organic constant currency basis,” Chief Executive Kiet Huynh said.

IWG’s pretax loss for the first half was flat after it booked higher costs, but its outlook for the full year remains cautiously optimistic due to growing demand for hybrid working solutions. The London-listed office-space provider said Tuesday that this demand has been tempered by foreign exchange headwinds as well as a challenging and competitive environment. The company’s pretax loss for the six months ended June 30 was flat on year at 70 million pounds ($89.5 million). Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization rose 48% to GBP198 million, driven by revenue momentum and cost discipline. Revenue rose to GBP1.48 billion from GBP1.29 billion the year before. The board has started a review of its reporting currency and the potential implications of reporting under U.S. GAAP measures instead of IFRS, IWG said. The company said this was due to revenue denominated in, or linked to, U.S. dollars making up most of its revenue, which is expected to grow, and noted the pound’s recent volatility. “We continue to be well placed to deliver further revenue, profitable growth and reducing leverage as more companies permanently embrace hybrid working as their preferred model with IWG set to be the biggest beneficiary,” Chief Executive Mark Dixon said.

Adriatic Metals said it has raised 25.1 million pounds ($32.1 million) via the share placing first announced late Monday, slightly more than planned.

The precious and base metals developer said Tuesday that it has placed 14.8 million new ordinary shares at 170 pence each. The issue price is a 0.35% premium to Monday’s closing price of 169.40 pence. The company had said that it was planning to raise GBP23.5 million via the share placing which was conducted via a bookbuild program. The money will be used toward the exploration program at Rupice and Rupice Northwest mines in Bosnia and Herzegovina as well as for general working capital. “We believe this funding will enable Adriatic to accelerate and expand our exploration activities, which will position Adriatic as one of the leading base and precious metals developers in Europe,” Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer Paul Cronin said.

Quilter expects its adjusted profit for the year expected to be meaningfully ahead of current market expectations, assuming broadly stable markets after it reported a rise in its assets under management and administration for the first half. The wealth-management company on Tuesday said its pretax profit shrank to 7 million pounds ($8.9 million) for the six months ended June 30 from GBP182 million in the comparable period the previous year. This was due to market valuation changes in policy-holder tax charges, it said. On an adjusted basis, pretax profit rose to GBP76 million from GBP61 million, it said. The London-listed group said its revenue rose 3% to GBP312 million on corporate cash balances. Assets under management and administration stood at GBP101.7 billion at the end of the period compared with GBP99.6 billion six months prior. It declared an interim dividend of 1.5 pence a share, up from 1.2 pence. The company said it doesn’t expect its second-half profit to match the first half’s given the full impact of the repricing of its platform and its Cirilium Active range, which bring about higher costs. “We are targeting an additional GBP50 million of simplification savings by 2025 and we expect consensus profit estimates for this year to increase materially,” Chief Executive Steven Levin said, noting the group expects to meet GBP45 million in cost savings by the end of 2023.

Sixt reported higher profit and revenue for the second quarter, benefiting from strong demand, a larger fleet and prices well above prepandemic levels. The German rental-car company posted on Tuesday consolidated after-tax profit for the second quarter of 96.6 million euros ($106.3 million) compared with EUR93.8 million in the year-earlier period. Revenue grew 24% to EUR925.1 million. Pretax profit rose to EUR131.9 million from EUR129.8 million. The company said this was the strongest second-quarter performance in its history, significantly above the levels of 2019, before the pandemic. Performance in the remainder of the summer season, with the third quarter generating around 50% of the company’s full-year profits, will be key to further development, it said. For the year as a whole, the company continues to expect a significant increase in consolidated revenue compared with last year’s figure of EUR3.07 billion and pretax profit of between EUR430 million and EUR550 million. “The current uncertain macroeconomic situation for Europe, especially for Germany, may influence the course of the second half of the year and we are therefore also cautious with regard to our fleet purchasing for 2024,” co-Chief Executive Alexander Sixt said.

InterContinental Hotels Group said first-half net profit and revenue increased, driven by improved trading conditions, but that it expects the comparatives to 2022 in the second half to get tougher due to continuing economic uncertainties. The London-listed hotel chain said Tuesday that net profit was $459 million, compared with $216 million for the first half of 2022. Pretax profit for the period was $567 million compared with $299 million, while revenue rose to $2.23 billion from $1.79 billion. Revenue per available room, or RevPar–an important industry metric–was up 24% year-on-year, with RevPar in EMEA and Asia up 42% and up 94% for greater China. The company said this reflected the differing levels of travel restrictions which were still in place in the first half of 2022. Occupancy levels were up 9 percentage points versus 2022 and 1.3 percentage points lower than in 2019, before the pandemic. The board declared an interim dividend of 48.3 cents a share compared with 43.9 cents. “We expect RevPar to remain positive year-on-year in each region. Irrespective of any shorter-term macro pressures… we remain confident about the tailwinds for attractive long‑term growth in RevPAR which drives our fee income,” it said.

Glencore reported a drop in first-half profit after the weakening of energy markets, inflationary pressures and limited global economic growth contributed to the material decline of commodity prices in the period. The Anglo-Swiss commodity mining and trading company on Tuesday reported net profit of $4.57 billion for the six months ended June 30 compared with $12.09 billion a year earlier. Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization–a closely watched figure–decreased 50% on year to $9.40 billion, reflecting the normalization of energy market imbalances and volatility from 2022 levels. Net debt stood at $1.54 billion at the end of June from $75 million at the end of last year. Glencore said it has lifted the total 2023 shareholder returns to around $9.3 billion through a special cash distribution of around $1 billion and a $1.2-billion buyback program planned to run until the release of full-year results in February 2024. Looking ahead, the company said that moderating inflation and supportive government policy in China across end-user sectors are bringing a more positive macroeconomic backdrop in the second half.
