Foreword of the Executive Board

Dear Shareholders, dear Sir or Madam,

The first few months of 2025 were not only marked by a persistently difficult market environment, as expected, but also saw increased uncertainty due to the tariff conflict initiated by the US. This led to further delays in our customers' investment decisions and to cautious ordering activities.

In this business environment, the Semperit Group generated revenue of EUR 151.7 million (–13.8%) and EBITDA of EUR 11.1 million (– 51.6%) in the first quarter of 2025. Operating EBITDA before project costs amounted to EUR 11.9 million, while earnings after taxes fell to EUR –7.2 million.

Our financial position remains solid with cash and cash equivalents of around EUR 128 million at the end of March 2025, an equity ratio of around 46% and a conservative debt ratio of 1.4 (net financial debt in relation to EBITDA).

Outlook

We adjusted our outlook for the 2025 financial year at the beginning of April and now expect operating EBITDA ranging between EUR 65 million and EUR 85 million (previously: EUR 70 million to EUR 90 million). The costs for our digitalization project affecting earnings will amount to around EUR 5 million.

Our outlook is based on a recovery in the second half of the year. After a weaker start, the order situation improved in March and April and is already exceeding the comparable figures for the previous year. However, uncertainty is currently unusually high. We are continuing our cost-cutting measures.

Depending on the further development of the tariff dispute and its impact on global economic growth, this might have various consequences for Semperit, which could range from additional burdens and adverse volume shifts in individual areas to potential competitive advantages, for example if competitors are located in countries with higher burdens. A final assessment is not possible at this time.

Overall, the Semperit Group is very well positioned with its refined industrial strategy, strict cost management, and production sites in Europe, Asia, and North America. The infrastructure program in Germany, rising defense expenditures in the European Union, and efforts to rebuild Ukraine are also clear positive drivers for our business in the medium term.

Group Management Report

Development in the raw material markets

Various raw materials such as butadiene, carbon black and natural rubber are important basic components for the manufacture of polymer products. Below is an overview of the most important raw materials:

Raw material price development

Crude oil is an important raw material for the production of synthetic rubber precursors such as butadiene and carbon black. In the first quarter of 2025, the price of Brent crude oil was slightly below the level of the same period last year. The average prices for butadiene, an essential raw material for both divisions, recorded a sharp increase in both Asia and Europe during the reporting period. This development was also reflected in the prices for butadiene derivatives, which were significantly higher in both regions compared with 2024.

Carbon black prices, which are important for both divisions, have historically correlated strongly with the price trend of heavy fuel oil (HFO). In line with the development of crude oil prices, heavy fuel oil prices remained roughly at the previous year's level during the reporting period, which was reflected in stable carbon black prices.

Prices for natural rubber, which is mainly used in the Belting business, continued to rise significantly on the Asian commodity exchanges. In the first quarter of 2025, they were around 25% above the average price for the first quarter of 2024.

Iron ore, a raw material used for wire rod production, had an average price in the first quarter of 2025 that was comparable to that of the fourth quarter of 2024. Wire rod was traded at the same level in the first quarter of 2025 as in the last quarter of 2024.

1 Operating EBITDA: excluding items that affect comparability.

Q1 2025: adjusted for the expenses for the "oneERP" project (Q1 2025: EBITDA impact: EUR –0.8 million).

Q1 2024: adjusted for the expenses for the "oneERP" project (Q1 2024: EBITDA impact: EUR –0.2 million). 2 Excluding right-of-use assets in accordance with IFRS 16

The Semperit Group's business performance in the first quarter of 2025 was characterized by a persistently difficult market environment. Order activities remained subdued in most areas, with customers postponing projects due to increased uncertainty. This had a negative impact particularly on the conveyor belt business (Belting). Revenue amounted to EUR 151.7 million (–13.8%) and EBITDA to EUR 11.1 million (–51.6%). Operating EBITDA was EUR 11.9 million (before EUR 0.8 million for project costs).

The Semperit Industrial Applications (SIA) division, which comprises hoses and profiles, generated revenue of EUR 65.5 million (–4.7%) and EBITDA of EUR 11.3 million (–17.4%). This resulted in a margin decline of 2.6 PP to 17.2%. The SEA division (Form, Belting, and Liquid Silicone) generated revenue of EUR 86.2 million (–19.7%), while EBITDA was EUR 4.0 million (–74.5%) and the EBITDA margin 4.6% (–9.9 PP).1

In the Group, inventories of own products increased by EUR 11.0 million in the first three months, mainly due to seasonal factors (previous year: EUR 1.2 million).

Total expenses fell by 1.0% to EUR 154.6 million. Cost of materials (including energy and purchased services) amounted to EUR 76.0 million (previous year: EUR 74.8 million), of which EUR 1.6 million was passed on to the buyer of the medical business as part of the joint use agreement for premises. Personnel expenses decreased by 2.0% to EUR 56.7 million (previous year: EUR 57.8 million). At EUR 21.9 million, other operating expenses were 6.8% below the previous year's figure (EUR 23.5 million), which was mainly attributable to lower outbound freight charges and commissions for sales agents due to demand, as well as savings in legal, consulting, and auditing expenses.

EBITDA thus amounted to EUR 11.1 million (previous year: EUR 23.0 million) and the EBITDA margin to 7.3% (previous year: 13.0%).

Operating EBITDA amounted to EUR 11.9 million (previous year: EUR 23.1 million) and the margin to 7.9% (previous year: 13.1%). EBITDA was adjusted for the effects of the lead project for the Group's digital transformation ("oneERP") of EUR 0.8 million recognized in profit or loss. These are non-capitalizable costs that can be expensed for the implementation of a uniform Group-wide enterprise resource planning system. The capitalizable development costs for the ongoing implementation amounted to EUR 0.2 million in the reporting period.

1 As part of the optimization of the industrial strategy, the mandrel hose product group was transferred from the Semperit Industrial Applications division (Hoses business unit) to the Semperit Engineered Applications division (Form business unit) with effect from January 1, 2025. The comparative figures have been adjusted accordingly.

Operating EBITDA

in EUR million 1-3 2025 Change 1-3 2024 2024
EBITDA 11.1 –51.6% 23.0 84.9
Project costs – oneERP 0.8 n/a 0.2 1.5
EBITDA before project costs 11.9 –48.3% 23.1 86.3

Regular depreciation and amortization slightly increased to EUR 12.4 million (previous year: EUR 11.4 million). EBIT was significantly below the previous year's figure of EUR 11.6 million at EUR –1.3 million.

The financial result amounted to EUR –5.0 million (previous year: EUR –3.6 million), with the deviation primarily due to negative currency effects resulting from the weaker US dollar.

Tax expense decreased to EUR 0.9 million (previous year: EUR 2.9 million). In the first three months of 2025, the effective tax rate was 16.0%, compared with 33.2% in the same period of the previous year. The effective tax rate relates to income taxes in relation to earnings before taxes less the earnings attributable to redeemable non-controlling interests.

Earnings after taxes amounted to EUR –7.2 million (previous year: EUR 3.6 million), which corresponds to earnings per share of EUR –0.35 (previous year: EUR 0.18).

Dividend policy

At the 136th Annual General Meeting of Semperit AG Holding held on April 23, 2025, the distribution of a dividend of EUR 0.50 per share for the 2024 financial year was resolved and paid out to the shareholders on April 30, 2025. The total amount was EUR 10.3 million.

Assets and financial position

Balance sheet

The development of the balance sheet structure as of March 31, 2025, can be summarized as follows:

03/31/2025 Share 12/31/2024 Share Change
596.1 65% 604.2 66% –1.3%
319.3 35% 308.6 34% 3.5%
915.4 100% 912.9 100% 0.3%
422.0 46% 430.9 47% –2.1%
305.8 33% 314.4 34% –2.7%
187.6 20% 167.6 18% 11.9%
915.4 100% 912.9 100% 0.3%

Non-current assets remained stable at EUR 596.1 million (–1.3%), of which EUR 460.1 million was attributable to property, plant, and equipment (December 31, 2024: EUR 466.6 million).

Current assets increased by 3.5% to EUR 319.3 million, primarily due to the seasonal increase in inventories by EUR 14.4 million to EUR 100.2 million. This was offset by a reduction in trade receivables by EUR 6.7 million to EUR 67.0 million. As of March 31, 2025, trade receivables of EUR 26.9 million (December 31, 2024: EUR 16.8 million) had been sold to a factoring bank. Cash and cash equivalents increased by EUR 2.5 million to EUR 128.4 million.

The negative result is reflected in equity. Financial liabilities remained stable at EUR 233.4 million (December 31, 2024: EUR 234.1 million), while current trade payables increased by EUR 8.7 million from the comparatively low level at the end of 2024 to EUR 63.8 million.

Net Financial Debt

in EUR million 03/31/2025 Change 12/31/2024
Corporate Schuldschein loan 38.6 0.6% 38.4
Liabilities to banks 194.8 –0.5% 195.7
Financial liabilities 233.4 –0.3% 234.1
Cash and cash equivalents 128.4 2.0% 126.0
Short-term time deposits 4.8 0.0% 4.8
Cash and cash equivalents and similar investments 133.2 1.9% 130.7
Net Financial Debt (+) / Net Financial Surplus (–) 100.2 –3.0% 103.3

The Semperit Group had net financial debt of EUR 100.2 million as of March 31, 2025, as financial liabilities (EUR 233.4 million) exceeded cash and cash equivalents of EUR 128.4 million (December 31, 2024: net financial debt of EUR 103.3 million). The leverage ratio as the quotient of net financial debt divided by EBITDA (of the last 12 months) was 1.4x as of March 31, 2025 (December 31, 2024: 1.2x).

Cash flow

The cash flow statement is prepared jointly for the continued and discontinued operations (relates to the comparative quarter of 2024); no distinction is made between the cash flows of the individual business units.

Overview of the development of the liquidity situation in the first quarter of 2025:

Cash flow1

in EUR million 1-3 2025 Change 1-3 2024
Cash flows from operating activities 19.5 –13.6% 22.6
Cash flows from investing activities –11.4 –47.0% –21.5
Cash flows from financing activities –4.9 n/a 7.5
Net increase / decrease in cash and cash equivalents 2.5 –68.1% 7.7

1 The calculation includes continued operations and discontinued operations.

In the first three months of 2025, gross cash flow amounted to EUR 8.1 million (previous year: EUR 22.0 million) and cash flow from operating activities to EUR 19.5 million (previous year: EUR 22.6 million).

Cash flow from investing activities totaled EUR –11.4 million (previous year: EUR –21.5 million). Cash investments in intangible assets and property, plant, and equipment in the first quarter of 2025 were significantly below the previous year's level at EUR 12.4 million (previous year: EUR 22.6 million). Of this amount, EUR 3.3 million was attributable to strategic and growth investments (primarily expansion of hose production in Odry, CZ). In the same period of the previous year, this figure was EUR 6.0 million. In terms of specific countries, the largest investments were made in the Czech Republic at EUR 5.6 million (previous year: EUR 7.0 million), in Austria at EUR 2.5 million (previous year: EUR 9.5 million), in Poland at EUR 1.6 million (previous year: EUR 2.5 million), in Germany at EUR 1.1 million (previous year: EUR 0.8 million) and in the USA at EUR 0.6 million (previous year: EUR 2.1 million).

Cash flow from financing activities amounted to EUR –4.9 million (previous year: EUR 7.5 million) and included primarily repayments of financial liabilities and lease obligations as well as interest payments in the first quarter of 2025. The comparable quarter of 2024 was mainly characterized by the recognition of financial liabilities in the amount of EUR 13.0 million.

Free cash flow1

in EUR million 1-3 2025 Change 1-3 20241
Cash flows from operating activities 19.5 –13.6% 22.6
Interest paid –2.6 –25.2% –3.5
Interest received 0.6 –11.4% 0.7
Cash investments for maintenance and small growth projects (intangible assets and property, plant
and equipment)
–9.1 –45.0% –16.6
Proceeds from the disposal of property, plant and equipment and payments made for the
acquisition of financial investments
0.4 –5.5% 0.4
Free cash flow before the sale of companies 8.7 n/a 3.5
Proceeds from business disposals net of cash disposed of 0.0 n/a 0.0
Free cash flow after the sale of companies 8.8 n/a 3.5

1 The calculation includes continued operations and discontinued operations.

Free cash flow is the net cash flow adjusted for interest payments that is available for strategic growth investments, dividends and the repayment of debt. It amounted to EUR 8.7 million in the first quarter of 2025 (previous year: EUR 3.5 million). After considering a small remaining amount of EUR 47 thousand from the proceeds from the sale of Surgical Operations, it amounted to EUR 8.8 million.

1 As part of the optimization of the industrial strategy, the mandrel hose product group was transferred from the Semperit Industrial Applications division to the Semperit Engineered Applications division with effect from January 1, 2025. The comparative figures for 2024 have been adjusted accordingly.

2 Excluding right-of-use assets in accordance with IFRS 16

  • The business performance of the SIA division reflects the persistently challenging economic environment. This led to a decline in revenue of 4.7% or EUR 3.3 million, primarily due to lower sales volumes, but also to a shift in the product mix. At EUR 11.3 million, EBITDA was 17.4% below the previous year's figure, while the EBITDA margin reached 17.2% (previous year: 19.8%).
  • Demand for hydraulic and industrial hoses as well as incoming orders remained low, particularly in the first two months, due to market conditions, including the slowdown in the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) business, which continued to be characterized by weaker order intake and excess stock of finished devices. Fixed cost reductions and gains in market share, particularly with mediumsized customers, partially offset these effects but did not compensate for them entirely. Toward the end of the quarter, there was a slight recovery in incoming orders, with the order backlog at the end of the quarter above the prior-year level.
  • Demand and incoming orders for elastomer and sealing profiles were at a reduced level due to the continued weakness of the construction industry. No recovery is expected in the short term, as leading indicators such as building permits for the German construction industry continue to show a negative trend. Customers are facing lower demand and activity due to the slowdown in building construction, particularly in the DACH region.

Division Semperit Engineered Applications (SEA)

1 As part of the optimization of the industrial strategy, the mandrel hose product group was transferred from the Semperit Industrial Applications division to the Semperit Engineered Applications division

with effect from January 1, 2025. The comparative figures for 2024 have been adjusted accordingly. 2 Excluding right-of-use assets in accordance with IFRS 16

  • Revenue in the SEA division in the first quarter of 2025, at EUR 86.2 million, was 19.7% below the very good prior-year quarter. This development was primarily attributable to the Belting business unit. Together with a slightly lower-margin product mix in some areas, this led to a decline in EBITDA to EUR 4.0 million and in the margin to 4.6% (previous year: EUR 15.6 million and 14.5%, respectively).
  • The Form business, which now also includes the product group of mandrel hoses, recorded a slight increase in revenue, with demand for individual products showing a mixed picture. Particularly the Mountain Applications unit saw very good demand, while those segments supplying applications for the household goods business, seals for the construction industry and membranes for the mining industry, for example, reflected the economic downturn. Overall, incoming orders and sales volumes were above the previous year's level.
  • The result of the late-cycle conveyor belt (Belting) business was impacted primarily by timing effects and ongoing project postponements following a very solid first quarter of 2024. Further effects included uncertainties in the run-up to the announcement of US tariffs, a temporary shift in the product mix towards lighter belts, and price pressure from Asian competitors. Order intake and order backlog were thus significantly below the previous year's figures. Capacity adjustments were initiated.
  • In the liquid silicone (Rico) segment, incoming orders for parts production were satisfactory overall, although there were differences between product groups. Production call-offs from the healthcare and food sectors were stable and remained at a high level in the mobility sector, while there were slight declines in the sectors related to the construction industry. In mold making for external tools, there were delays to some projects (for example in the automotive sector) due to global economic factors and political uncertainties caused by tariff debates. Due to the market environment, customers are currently holding back on major investments.

Employees

At 3,981 employees (FTE, full-time equivalent, incl. contract workers), the headcount as of March 31, 2025, was below the level as of March 31, 2024 (continued operations: 4,285). The decrease is primarily due to the reduction in headcount as part of the cost-cutting program. The average number of employees for the first three months of 2025 was 3,983 (average Q1 2024: 4,294).

Executive and Supervisory Board matters

At the 136th Annual General Meeting on April 23, 2025, Birgit Noggler and Stefan Fida were re-elected to the Supervisory Board. Their mandates will expire at the end of the Annual General Meeting that approves the discharge for the 2028 (Birgit Noggler) and 2029 (Stefan Fida) fiscal years.

Karl Haider stepped down from the Executive Board on March 31, 2025. Manfred Stanek has been a member of the Executive Board since March 1, 2025, and took over as Chief Executive Officer on April 1, 2025.
