Outlook and guidance
Revised FY 2026 guidance: revenue €43m–€45m and EBIT margin 0% to +2%, assuming a stable operating environment; prior guidance was revenue €38m–€45m and EBIT margin -2% to +2%.
Priorities for year-end include improving profitability, competitiveness and financial position, advancing structural reforms, and pursuing international Defence sales and product development.
Management remains cautious on near-term markets; backlog substantially above the prior-year level provides a stronger base for the turnaround, though further profitability work remains.
