Sales Decline: Revenue fell by 10.1% year-on-year to EUR 78.6 million, with weakness in nearly all regions and industries.
Cost Savings Support Profit: Despite lower sales, EBITDA pre rose 28.8% to EUR 11.3 million and net profit increased to EUR 2.6 million, thanks to rigorous cost-cutting measures.
Free Cash Flow Impacted: Free cash flow dropped significantly to EUR 0.5 million, mainly due to higher working capital from inventory buildup.
Order Momentum Weak: Order intake remained low at EUR 72.2 million, and management sees only the LNG sector as stable, with most industries under pressure.
Guidance Unchanged: The company reiterated its 2025 outlook for sales (EUR 320–330 million), EBITDA pre (EUR 25–30 million), and balanced free cash flow.
Further Restructuring Possible: Additional cost-cutting, including workforce reductions or temporary hour cuts, may continue if market conditions do not improve.
