Complete event summary combining all related documents: earnings call transcript, report, and slide presentation.Q3 2025 earnings summary7 Aug, 2025
Executive summary
Order entry rose 23% year-over-year to €1.7bn, with revenue up 7.6% to €1.6bn and recurring revenue at a record 51% of total, driven by DORC acquisition and product launches.
EBITDA/EBITA increased to €175m, with adjusted margin at 11.1%, despite FX headwinds and U.S. tariffs; net income declined 24% to €89m due to lower EBIT, FX losses, and higher amortization.
Product launches (VisuMax 800, SMILE Pro 2, KINEVO 900 S) and DORC integration contributed to growth and innovation.
Significant growth opportunities identified in ophthalmology and refractive markets, with strong brand positioning in China and global expansion initiatives.
Order backlog reached €431m, further elevated from Q2.
Financial highlights
Adjusted EBITA up 17% to €178m; adjusted EPS at €1.24, down 8% year-over-year.
Gross margin at 52.7%, down from 53.7%, due to product mix and price pressures, especially in IOLs and China.
Operating cash flow increased to €66m, mainly from lower tax payments; investing cash flow improved to €8m.
Net financial debt at €-384m, slightly down, mainly refinanced via shareholder loan.
CapEx at 3.6% of revenue.
Outlook and guidance
FY24/25 guidance unchanged: moderate revenue growth expected, driven by order intake and DORC consolidation.
EBITDA/EBITA and margin expected stable to slightly higher; long-term margin target 16–20% through recurring revenue growth.
U.S. tariffs and FX volatility remain key risks; pricing actions to offset tariff impact.
Further cost discipline and OpEx reduction planned; focus on recurring revenue growth.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
