Key Points

Positve

Strong order intake growth of 19% year-on-year at constant FX, reaching CHF920 million, driven by aviation, energy, and general industries.
Operational EBITDA margin improved significantly by 300 basis points to 19.7%, supported by operational leverage, cost-out actions, and positive pricing.
The Materials and Equipment segment delivered exceptional performance with sales up 19.7% and an EBITDA margin of 23.8%, leveraging strong demand and pricing power.
The company raised its full-year guidance, now expecting mid-single-digit sales growth and an operational EBITDA margin of 18.5% to 19.5%.
Leverage ratio improved to 2.5x, reaching its target six months ahead of schedule, supported by EBITDA growth and net debt reduction.
Successful debt management, including repaying a CHF475 million term loan and refinancing a bond at a lower coupon, resulting in annual interest savings of approximately CHF15 million.

Negative

The Components segment saw sales decline by 4.4% at constant FX, with profitability remaining below expectations due to automotive headwinds in friction systems and hot runners.
FX remains a headwind, negatively impacting reported results, particularly due to the weakening of the US dollar and other currencies against the Swiss franc.
The company experienced a significant inventory build-up due to rising critical mineral prices (tungsten and yttrium), which impacted operating cash flow in H1.
Geopolitical uncertainties and supply chain disruptions continue to affect customer behavior and delay investment decisions, particularly in the EU automotive sector.
The luxury end market remains subdued due to soft demand in China and tensions in the Middle East, although Swiss watch exports showed signs of stabilization.
The company's operating cash flow was negative at CHF -8 million on a reported basis, and pro-forma cash flow was only CHF32 million, reflecting the impact of higher inventories.
