Q2 2025 earnings summary12 Aug, 2025

Executive summary

  • Comprehensive turnaround underway with cost reduction programs targeting €15M annual savings, leadership renewal, Zurich office closure, and Swedish plant consolidation.

  • Strategic acquisitions completed, including full ownership of Chassis Autonomy and the Chinese JV, strengthening position in steer-by-wire and China’s truck and bus market.

  • Q2 2025 revenues declined 8.1% year-over-year, mainly due to weaker demand and negative currency effects; EBIT fell due to lower sales, higher warranty accruals, tariffs, and impairments.

  • Free cash flow improved, nearing breakeven, mainly from positive net working capital development.

  • New business wins in Q2 totaled €91M, but tariff and market uncertainty slowed new contracts.

Financial highlights

  • Q2 2025 revenues: €181.6M–€192.4M (Q2 2024: €209.3M); EBIT: €-2.9M (Q2 2024: €6.4M); net loss: €-2.0M (Q2 2024: €3.7M profit).

  • Q2 EBITDA: €4.7M; adjusted EBITDA: €7.9M; free cash flow: €-0.9M (improved from €-4.4M in Q2 2024).

  • EBIT for Q2 significantly reduced, mainly due to increased warranty accruals of €8M–€8.2M and asset impairments.

  • Tariff costs in Q2 were €2.7M, with €0.7M reimbursed; ongoing efforts to recover remaining costs.

  • Business wins for Q2 totaled €91M, with a €20M contract in the Chinese commercial EV segment.

Outlook and guidance

  • EBIT margin for H2 2025 expected to exceed H1 2025 and H2 2024, driven by cost-saving measures.

  • Revenues for H2 2025 projected to fall below both H1 2025 and H2 2024; 2026 market outlook is positive, especially in commercial vehicles.

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.
