Fiscal Year 2026
-
Order intake rose 15.7% year-over-year, driven by Rofin acquisition and organic growth, but core business sales fell 7% and EBIT was negative due to low Q1 volumes and ramp-up costs. Strong backlog supports higher H2 sales, with full-year net sales to exceed prior year, though bottom line improvement is unlikely.
Fiscal Year 2025
-
Order intake grew 5% while net sales fell 2.2% year-over-year, with adjusted EBIT improving to CHF 47 million. Strategic focus shifted to Smart Factories and project business, supported by restructuring savings and a key acquisition.
-
Order intake stabilized and cost reductions led to a 66% smaller EBIT loss year-over-year. Net sales declined 8%, but gross margin improved and restructuring delivered CHF 60 million in annualized savings. Full-year sales are expected to be slightly lower than 2024, with improved operating results.
Fiscal Year 2024
-
2024 saw a sharp decline in sales and order intake amid weak markets and internal challenges, resulting in a significant operating loss and major restructuring. Despite this, cash flow remained positive, and the company retains a strong balance sheet. 2025 is expected to be a transition year with continued headwinds but improved efficiency and market share gains anticipated.
-
H1 2024 saw sharp declines in order intake, sales, and profitability, with a CHF 23 million EBIT loss and no recovery expected in H2. Cost-saving measures and new product launches are underway, but market conditions remain highly challenging.
