Executive summary
Q1–Q3 2026 sales fell 17.1% YoY to €426.6m, while EBIT margin improved to 2.3% and net result rose to €4.2m.
Strategic realignment, efficiency measures and diversification beyond automotive support profitability and resilience; Smart Plastic Applications targets ~30% of revenue in the mid-term.

Q1–Q3 EBITDA was €31.2m, down 3.3%, with margin improving to 7.3% from 6.3%.
EBIT rose to €9.7m from €8.9m; EBIT margin increased to 2.3% from 1.7%. Net result rose to €4.2m from €2.4m and EPS to €0.19 from €0.10.
Q3 revenue was €139.2m vs. €157.2m YoY; EBITDA was €8.6m vs. €11.2m and EBIT €1.4m vs. €3.3m.
Q1–Q3 reported EBITDA included a €3.06m deconsolidation gain; depreciation was €21.5m vs. €23.4m.
Outlook and guidance
FY2026 guidance was revised to consolidated sales of ~€560m and an EBIT margin of 1%–2%.
The revision reflects Q4 customer volume reductions and temporary operating burdens from Painted Exterior transfers and the Weierbach closure.
Smart Plastic Applications projects are advancing toward market readiness, customer approvals and serial production; sales contributions depend on further development and industrialisation.
Dividends remain intended subject to appropriate net profit; the stated average payout target is ~20%–30% of consolidated net profit.
