Executive summary

  • Sales for the first nine months of 2025 declined 16.5% year-over-year to €652.9 million, mainly due to weak semiconductor and automotive demand, restructuring in Carbon Fibers, and high customer inventories.

  • EBITDA pre fell 14.9% to €108.6 million, but the margin improved slightly to 16.6% from 16.3% last year, supported by cost-saving measures.

  • Net result was negative at €-51.3 million, primarily due to €81 million in non-recurring restructuring and impairment costs.

  • Major restructuring in Carbon Fibers included site closures and discontinuation of loss-making activities, leading to €25 million in cost savings and a workforce reduction.

  • Free cash flow remained positive at €12.5 million despite restructuring expenses, and the balance sheet stayed robust.

Financial highlights

  • Sales dropped by €130 million year-over-year, with the main impact from the semiconductor and LED business line.

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.
