Acerinox's H1 results show robust cash flows and margin protection despite a downcycle, with a net free cash flow of 98.5M EUR. The pending Haynes International acquisition, while delayed, is strategically beneficial, adding cash and reducing net finance costs. Acerinox's EBITDA improvement plan is on track, aiming for a 100M EUR annual boost, with a 3.5-year union agreement stabilizing European operations.
