Sales Growth: GVS reported Q1 sales of EUR 107 million, up 3.2% year-on-year, but this was held back by production delays in Monterrey and a late start for the Boreas acquisition.
Profitability: EBITDA rose 6.1% to EUR 25.8 million, with the margin improving 70 basis points to 24.1%. Net income jumped by 21.6% to EUR 12 million.
M&A Impact: The partial contribution from the newly acquired Boreas (Haemonetics) business and production issues affected reported growth, but both are expected to normalize in Q2.
Guidance Affirmed: Management reaffirmed a full-year sales growth target of mid-to-high single digits, an EBITDA margin improvement of 150–250 bps, and leverage below 2 by year-end.
Order Book & Recovery: Production challenges and shipment delays are already being addressed, with management confident about recouping lost sales in Q2.
Tariffs & FX: Tariffs have minimal direct impact; most US production is unaffected. FX guidance is based on a EUR/USD of 1.10, with 75% of exposure hedged at 1.08.
