AI Summary
Q2 2025

Sales Growth: Bossard Group reported first-half 2025 sales of CHF 547.9 million, up 7.6% year-on-year, with acquisitions driving most of the increase while currency effects were a drag.

Regional Performance: Asia saw double-digit growth, Europe benefited from acquisitions despite underlying weakness, and America experienced a notable sales decline of 11.4%.

Profitability: EBIT margin dropped to 10.1% including acquisition-related accounting effects, while adjusted EBIT margin held at 10.7%. Net income fell to CHF 38.7 million from CHF 42.4 million.

Tariff Headwinds: New U.S. aluminum and steel tariffs (now at 50%) and currency depreciation are expected to increase costs by CHF 35 million, with price increases of 10–30% being passed to customers starting in September–Q4.

Cash Flow Impact: Free cash flow turned negative at CHF -44.4 million, mainly due to acquisitions, but would be positive without them.

Guidance & Visibility: Management targets organic sales growth above 5% long-term but admits near-term demand visibility is very limited, especially given tariff uncertainty.
