Innovation is not only about developing new technologies, it's also about finding new ways to create value from existing ones. Our latest financial results highlight how Volufiline™, a longstanding beauty active, has been successfully repositioned to address emerging consumer needs, creating significant new growth opportunities more than a decade after launch. It demonstrates the power of combining scientific expertise, market insight and close customer collaboration to unlock the full value of innovation over time. Alongside breakthrough innovation, we're continuing to identify new opportunities across our established portfolio, helping customers bring differentiated products to market while creating long-term value.

What is encapsulation? Encapsulation is a technology that surrounds active ingredients with a protective coating or carrier, helping to protect them and control when, where and how they're released. By improving ingredient stability and enabling more targeted or controlled delivery, encapsulation can enhance performance and give formulators greater flexibility when developing products. At Croda, we're applying encapsulation technology across Beauty, Fragrances and Pharma to help customers solve different challenges using the same scientific expertise. From skincare ingredients designed to deliver benefits over time, to new fragrance experiences and innovative drug delivery systems, delivery science is helping unlock more value from the ingredients inside products.

Today, we have published our half year results for the period ending 30 June 2026, with performance very much in line with our expectations. Profits grew ahead of sales, and sales ahead of volume, highlighting the renewed strength of our innovation. Growth was driven by Consumer Care and led by an outstanding performance in Beauty Actives. Alongside this improved performance, we have continued to deliver our transformation plan, enhancing growth and efficiency across the business while creating a stronger platform for long-term, sustainable growth. There is much more to do, but the progress is clear. Our outlook for the full year is unchanged and we remain on track to deliver our targets through to 2028.

A brand is more than a visual identity, it reflects who a business is, what it stands for, and how it creates value for customers. That's why Croda Pharma's refreshed brand is so important. The new promise, 'More than just your ingredients provider', reflects the role Croda Pharma plays as a partner to customers from research through to commercialisation, combining scientific expertise, insight and collaboration to help solve complex pharmaceutical challenges. While biologics remain a key strategic focus, the refreshed brand better represents the full breadth of Croda Pharma's capabilities across pharmaceutical excipients, vaccine adjuvants and lipid delivery systems. It creates a clearer, more consistent experience for customers and a stronger platform to showcase the expertise and support available across the business. Most importantly, it reflects how Croda Pharma works today: one team, working alongside customers to help turn scientific potential into pharmaceutical progress.

Inclusion is shaped by what we do every day. Across Croda, our people have been sharing their perspectives on what it means to create a workplace where everyone feels valued, respected and able to be themselves. Last week, we brought colleagues from across the globe together in an internal podcast, sharing experiences and reflecting on a consistent theme: inclusion is not a one-off initiative, but something built through everyday actions, behaviours and choices. When people feel supported to be themselves, they bring greater confidence, broader perspectives and stronger collaboration. This has a direct impact on how teams perform and how we work together to deliver results. During Pride Month, these conversations have reinforced the importance of continuing to listen, learn, and act. Because it is the small, consistent actions that create an inclusive culture where everyone can contribute and succeed. #PrideMonth #Inclusion #Belonging #GreatMindsThinkDifferently #Croda #Together
