Shelly Group increased **group** **revenue** by 28.9% to EUR 26.5 million (BGN 51.8 million) in the first three months of 2025, slightly exceeding its own expectations. Earnings before interest and taxes ( **EBIT** ) grew by 23.0% to EUR 6.7 million (BGN 13.0 million). The EBIT margin remained at a high level of 25.2% (3M 2024: 26.4%) and above the medium-term target of 25%. **Group net result** rose by 23.6% to EUR 5.6 million (BGN 11.0 million).

With an **equity ratio** of 86.2% as of 31 March 2025, Shelly Group has a solid balance sheet (31 December 2024: 82.3%), supported by the contribution of the net result to equity.

In 3M 2025, operating **cash flow** amounted to EUR 4.1 million (BGN 8.0 million), driven by the positive net result and a further improvement in **working capital** through optimized procurement, lower inventory levels and stricter receivables management. As a result, **cash and cash equivalents** increased to EUR 16.7 million (BGN 32.7 million) as of 31 March 2025, compared to EUR 14.0 million (BGN 27.3 million) at year-end 2024. Shelly Group thus maintains a strong capital and financial structure for continued growth.  

  

**2025 guidance confirmed**

For the current 2025 financial year, the Board of Directors continues to expect revenue growth to between EUR 145 million and EUR 155 million (BGN 284 million to BGN 303 million) and an increase in EBIT to between EUR 35 million and EUR 40 million (BGN 68 million to BGN 78 million). In the previous 2024 financial year, revenue amounted to EUR 106.7 million (BGN 208.7 million) and EBIT to EUR 25.7 million (BGN 50.3 million).  

  

**Wolfgang Kirsch, Co-CEO of Shelly Group, on business performance:** “We made a successful start to the 2025 financial year. The positive development across all regions, the strong demand for our products and the continued diversification of our sales markets from DIY to professional users underline the strength of our strategy and give us momentum for the coming quarters. Particularly encouraging is the stronger-than-expected increase in the number of Premium App users. In addition, our measures to optimize working capital are increasingly showing effect. Against the backdrop of macroeconomic and industry-specific challenges, we are confident about the remainder of the year, during which we expect to once again outperform the market. We confirm our guidance for 2025 as well as our medium-term targets for 2026.“
