Executive summary
Order intake reached a record CHF 311.4 million in H1 2026, up 12.2% year-over-year, driven by strong demand in North America and growth markets like industrial, infrastructure, and transportation, especially from data center expansion.
Revenues declined by 2.8% to CHF 272.4 million due to negative currency effects, though organic revenue grew 1.6% year-over-year; order backlog rose to CHF 183.1 million.
Adjusted EBIT more than doubled to CHF 16.5 million (6.1% margin), while reported EBIT was CHF 1.6 million after CHF -14.9 million in one-time restructuring and portfolio adjustment costs.
The "Uplift" program and realignment initiatives are underway to further reduce costs and drive growth.
Reduced dependence on the automotive sector, with its revenue share dropping to 57% from 64% in H1 2025, reflecting strategic diversification.
Financial highlights
Gross margin was 65.1%, down from 68.1% in H1 2025, mainly due to currency impacts.
Free cash flow improved to CHF 7.2 million from CHF -2.0 million in H1 2025.
Basic and diluted EPS was CHF -0.96, compared to CHF -0.68 in H1 2025.
Group earnings after taxes (EAT) were CHF -5.0 million, impacted by restructuring costs.
EBITDA fell 29.5% to CHF 11.4 million; adjusted EBIT up 114.8% to CHF 16.5 million; reported EBIT down 74.2% to CHF 1.6 million.
Outlook and guidance
Revenue for FY 2026 is expected between CHF 580 million and CHF 600 million, with EBIT (including one-time effects) between CHF 16 million and CHF 20 million.
The cost base is expected to decline further, with additional reductions of up to CHF 10 million starting in 2027.
Ongoing cost reduction and realignment are expected to further improve profitability and position for sustainable growth.
Market environment remains volatile due to global vehicle production declines and geopolitical uncertainties.
