Complete event summary combining all related documents: earnings call transcript, report, and slide presentation.
Executive summary
Q3 sales rose 23% year-over-year to CHF 258 million, driven by strong backlog execution despite global uncertainties and FX headwinds.
Q3 orders fell 8% year-over-year (2% at constant FX) and 4% sequentially, with a book-to-bill ratio of 0.92.
Operational performance in 2025 is strong, with record factory output and sales (FX-adjusted), achieved without disruptions and with short lead times.
Guidance for higher orders and EBITDA margin was abandoned due to softer semiconductor business and persistent FX headwinds; EBITDA margin now expected at the lower end of 30%-37%.
