-
Revenue declined 10% to EUR 435.6 million in 2025, with stable adjusted EBITDA margin at 5.8%. Transformation efforts are underway, with 2026 expected to be a transitional year and profitable growth targeted for 2027. Net debt improved and inventory was significantly reduced.
-
Q3 2025 revenue declined 2% year-over-year to EUR 104.1 million, with gross margin at 28.7% and adjusted EBITDA margin at 6.7%. Cost reductions offset revenue headwinds, and full-year guidance is reiterated at the lower end of the range.
-
H1 2025 saw a 13.9% revenue decline, but gross margin improved to 29.1% due to cost controls. Guidance for 2025 is maintained, but 2026 growth expectations are lowered amid ongoing market challenges and competitive pressures.
-
Q1 2025 saw an 8.3% revenue decline, with lower margins and reduced guidance due to weak EV charging and smart grid demand, offset by strong energy storage backlog and cost savings. New vehicle-to-grid chargers and a major storage deal support future growth.

Q3 revenue fell 22% year-over-year, with energy storage down 55% and EV charging down 6%. Gross margin improved due to a one-off in energy storage, but adjusted EBITDA margin dropped to 6.8%. 2024 revenue is expected at the lower end of €485–520 million, with limited growth seen for 2025.
-
Revenue grew 10% year-over-year in H1 2024, but margins and profitability declined due to one-off provisions and higher costs. Outlook for 2024 remains cautious, with restructuring and covenant renegotiations underway, while long-term market trends are positive.
-
Revenue and EBITDA guidance for 2024 have been significantly lowered due to delayed energy system deals and market headwinds, with additional one-off costs impacting profitability. Constructive talks with banks are ongoing to address a covenant breach, and strategic realignment is underway.
