Executive summary
9M 2026 performance was in line with expectations; FY2026 guidance was reaffirmed amid challenging markets and limited visibility.

Schramberg entered self-administration; operations and customer deliveries continued, while other subsidiaries were unaffected.
Financial highlights
Adjusted sales to third parties fell to €66.2m from €69.6m; reported total revenue was €66.5m.
Adjusted gross profit declined to €29.9m from €31.8m; adjusted gross margin was 44.9% vs. 45.6%.
Adjusted EBITDA was €0.1m vs. €0.9m; personnel expenses fell €1.6m, or 6.7%, while negative FX effects weighed on results.
Free cash flow improved to €0.6m inflow from €0.6m outflow; Schramberg-related cash effects helped, partly offset by higher investment outflows.
