(IN BRIEF) centrotherm international AG delivered a stable and largely in-line financial performance for fiscal year 2025, with revenues reaching EUR 211.1 million and strong contributions from its semiconductor business. Despite a slight decline compared to the previous year, the company maintained solid profitability with EBITDA of EUR 30.6 million and improved operational margins. Its financial position strengthened notably, with higher equity, an improved equity ratio, and a significant increase in liquidity to EUR 170.7 million. Order intake met expectations at EUR 86.7 million, while a substantial order backlog of EUR 330.9 million provides visibility for future revenue streams. Looking ahead to 2026, the company remains cautiously optimistic but expects lower earnings due to ongoing market challenges, while continuing to invest strategically in its product portfolio and maintain financial discipline.

(PRESS RELEASE) BLAUBEUREN, 31-Mar-2026 — /EuropaWire/ — centrotherm international AG has reported a solid financial performance for fiscal year 2025, achieving results in line with its internal expectations despite ongoing market challenges. The Group generated total revenues of EUR 211.1 million, with the semiconductor sector remaining the primary driver, contributing EUR 162.8 million. Although this represents a decline compared to the previous year’s EUR 238.2 million in total revenues, the company maintained a strong international footprint, with more than 90% of sales generated outside its domestic market, particularly across Asia.

Total operating performance reached EUR 186.6 million, placing the company comfortably within its projected range of EUR 150 million to EUR 230 million. Profitability also remained robust, with consolidated EBITDA totaling EUR 30.6 million. While slightly below the EUR 39.2 million reported in the previous year, the result still met the company’s guidance of a low double-digit million euro figure and reflects improvements in operational efficiency and margins.

The Group further strengthened its financial position during the year. Equity increased by approximately 17% to EUR 127.7 million, raising the equity ratio to 31.7% compared to 27.5% at the end of 2024. Liquidity saw a particularly strong improvement, with cash and cash equivalents rising by more than 77% to EUR 170.7 million, providing the company with a solid financial buffer.

Order intake for 2025 also met expectations, totaling EUR 86.7 million and falling within the forecast range of EUR 60 million to EUR 120 million. Of this, EUR 55.0 million came from semiconductor-related projects, while the photovoltaic sector contributed over EUR 31.7 million. As of December 31, 2025, the order backlog stood at EUR 330.9 million, with the majority—over EUR 253.3 million—linked to semiconductor industry customers.

Looking ahead, the Management Board remains cautiously optimistic despite continued market headwinds. The company is using the current period of subdued investment activity to strategically expand its product offerings and explore new market opportunities. At the same time, management is maintaining disciplined cost control and forward-looking financial planning.

The strengthened liquidity position, combined with the substantial order backlog, provides a stable foundation for the 2026 financial year. However, the company anticipates a more moderate performance in the near term. For 2026, centrotherm expects total output in the range of EUR 90 million to EUR 170 million, with consolidated EBITDA projected to be significantly below the previous year’s level. Order intake is forecast between EUR 40 million and EUR 100 million.

Chief Executive Officer Jan von Schuckmann highlighted that the company’s profitability has structurally improved in recent years, largely driven by its strong positioning in the semiconductor sector. Since 2021, centrotherm has consistently demonstrated sustainable and profitable business development, reinforcing its overall economic resilience.

The company also noted that its 2025 Annual Report is now available in German via its Investor Relations section online.
