Group revenues in Q1 2026 declined by 10.8% year-over-year, reflecting challenging market conditions, particularly in the mobility sector.
The Production Solutions segment experienced the strongest decline, with revenues down 25.6% year-over-year, due to cautious investment behavior from customers.

Net financial debt increased to EUR79.4 million as of March 31, 2026, compared to EUR25.7 million last year, primarily due to a lower cash position.
