 Agfa’s Q2 and first-half results jumped because of a massive €45m settlement related to a decades-long legal dispute. The payment – €38m plus interest – relates to the 2004 sale of the AgfaPhoto business, which subsequently went into insolvency in 2005.  Agfa is still awaiting a decision regarding the €25m outstanding receivable from Aurelius following the 2023 sale of its Offset Solutions wing, now ECO3.
Offset plate division was once AGFA's largest division by sales before it was sold.

In Q2 2025 Agfa’s group revenue slipped by 1.6% to €281m, and was down 2.4% for the half-year at €523m. Agfa’s Digital Print & Chemicals division grew sales by 6.1% to €118m, “mainly driven by Specialty Films & Chemicals”, while softer market conditions impacted the Digital Printing Solutions and Green Hydrogen businesses. Adjusted Q2 EBITDA at the wing slipped from €11.6m to €10m.
