Q2 2025 earnings summary27 Aug, 2025

Executive summary

  • Divestment of China business for €70 million to local management, finalizing the shift to a pure-play industrial company focused on high-margin, high-growth niches in brakes, actuators, and controls, with proceeds funding a special dividend and share buyback.

  • Transformation excludes automotive, with expertise in valves, actuators, brakes, and control technology.

  • Proceeds will be used for balance sheet strengthening, reinvestment in industrial operations, and capital returns to shareholders.

  • Post-transaction, 84% of business is in Europe, 7% in Asia, and 8% in the US, with minimal remaining exposure to mobility.

  • Net debt reduced to €97.3 million, leverage ratio down to 2.4, and normalized free cash flow improved to €5.7 million.

Financial highlights

  • Q2 2025 revenue increased 2–3% year-over-year to €79.4 million, with HY1 2025 revenue up 3% to €157.5 million; normalized EBITDA up 14% to €23.4 million, margin at 14.9%.

  • Q2 normalized EBITDA rose 20% to €12.6 million, with margin at 15.9%.

  • HY1 normalized EBITA increased 18% to €15.3 million; normalized net profit before amortization up 28% to €8.8 million.

  • Added value margin improved by 190–220 bps in HY1, mainly from pricing and mix.

  • Free cash flow for HY1 was €5.7 million, supported by low CapEx (€4.2 million).

Outlook and guidance

  • Trading conditions for H2 2025 expected to mirror H1: some weakness in Europe, steady US demand, and mixed trends in Asia.

  • Confident in achieving medium-term targets: EBITDA margin of 15–18% from 2025, ROIC of 23–27% by 2027, and annual dividends of at least 50% of normalized net profit.

  • Revenue growth expectation adjusted to 5% per year through the cycle, reflecting China divestment.

  • Focus remains on improving added-value margins, cost discipline, and operational efficiency.

  • US trade tariffs and global economic uncertainty present ongoing risks.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

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.
