Business performance

The PFISTERER Group recorded a positive business performance in the first quarter of 2025.

Sales in the reporting quarter amounted to EUR 100.1 million and were thus at the previous year's level (2024: EUR 101.6 million). Order intake increased significantly and, at EUR 144.2 million after the first three months, was up 35% on the previous year (2024: EUR 106.5 million). The order book increased to EUR 285.3 million, up 44.9% on the previous year with an increase of EUR 88.4 million. This represents a new record and provides a solid foundation for the forecast sales growth.

Against the backdrop of the effects of the fire in Wunsiedel in September 2024 and the additional consulting expenses due to the successful IPO in the second quarter, the strength of the business was reflected in particular in an improved gross profit as well as stable sales and positive EBITDA development above expectations. With the successful resumption of production in Q2 (formerly Wunsiedel) following the relocation to Kadan (CZ) and on the basis of the strong order intake, we look forward to the coming quarters with confidence.

After the balance sheet date on March 31, 2025, the company recorded significant milestones. At the beginning of April, the long-standing partner Power CSL was acquired in full, expanding the company's portfolio to include underwater solutions. In accordance with the resolution of the Annual General Meeting on April 11, 2025, PFISTERER paid out a dividend of EUR 11.7 million for the 2024 financial year, which corresponds to 34.7% of earnings after tax. Finally, the successful IPO on May 14, 2025 marked another important step towards securing the future growth strategy.

Results of operations

Consolidated sales were at the previous year's level at EUR 100.1 million (Q1 2024: EUR 101.6 million).

The cost of sales in the first quarter totaled EUR 58.1 million (2024: EUR 62.7 million). This resulted in a gross profit for the quarter of EUR 42.1 million, which corresponds to a gross margin of 42.0% (Q1 2024: EUR 38.9 million or 38.3%).

Marketing and distribution costs amounted to EUR 13.4 million in the first quarter of 2025 and thus increased by 5.4% compared to the same period of the previous year (2024: EUR 12.7 million). This was mainly due to higher personnel costs.

Research and development costs increased by EUR 0.6 million to EUR 5.4 million compared to the same period of the previous year (Q1 2024: EUR 4.8 million). In percentage terms, this results in an growth in research and development costs of 12.2% compared to the same period of the previous year.

Administrative expenses amounted to EUR 9.3 million in the first quarter of 2025 (2024: EUR 7.1 million). The increase is mainly due to higher consulting and personnel costs, partly due to IPO one-off and IT-related additional expenses.

Other income and expenses netted out to income of EUR 2.6 million in the first quarter of 2025 (Q1 2024: income of EUR 1.4 million). This includes an insurance advance payment of EUR 2.6 million for the fire damage at PFISTERER Insulators Wunsiedel GmbH. In the first quarter of 2025, a net currency loss of EUR -0.6 million (Q1 2024 currency gain: EUR 1.2 million) was posted from transactions in foreign currencies and the translation of balance sheet items.

The financial result improved by EUR 0.7 million compared to the same period of the previous year. This is mainly due to the lower interest expense from the syndicated loan agreement.

EBITDA amounted to EUR 19.7 million in the first three months of 2025 (Q1 2024: EUR 18.9 million).

At EUR 21.0 million, EBITDA adjusted for personnel expenses relating to the one-off IPO-related virtual share option program exceeded the previous year's figure (Q1 2024: EUR 20.0 million) and the adjusted EBITDA margin is therefore 20.9% (Q1 2024: 19.7%).

In the first quarter of 2025, the Group reported positive earnings before taxes of EUR 15.8 million (Q1 2024: EUR 14.4 million). As a result, basic earnings per share amounted to EUR 0.80 at the end of the quarter (2024: EUR 0.72).

Financial position

Cash flow from operating activities decreased to EUR -5.7 million (2024: EUR 23.8 million). This was mainly due to the increase in net working capital and payments made as part of the restructuring of Wunsiedel.

Cash flow from investing activities amounted to EUR -4.2 million (Q1 2024: EUR -3.5 million). The increase is almost equally attributable to investments in property, plant and equipment and intangible assets.

Cash flow from financing activities amounted to EUR -2.1 million (Q1 2024: EUR -17.3 million), with the difference coming mainly from a repayment under the syndicated loan agreement in 2024.

Taking into account exchange rate changes of EUR 0.2 million (Q1 2024: EUR -0.6 million), cash and cash equivalents totaled to EUR -1.6 million at the end of the quarter (2024: EUR 8.6 million).

Net assets

The Group's equity increased to EUR 95.9 million as of March 31, 2025 (December 31, 2024: EUR 83.7 million). In relation to the consolidated balance sheet total of EUR 272.1 million, the equity ratio amounted to 35.2%.

As of March 31, 2025, PFISTERER had cash and cash equivalents of EUR 18.5 million (December 31, 2024: EUR 12.5 million).

Net working capital increased to EUR 115.7 million in the first quarter (December 31, 2024: EUR 98.9 million) due to the sales trend in conjunction with reduced factoring.

The development of the PFISTERER Group's net assets and financial position exceeded expectations in the reporting period, taking into account the general economic conditions.

Segments

In the HVA segment, sales rose by 13.8% to EUR 40.2 million in the first quarter of 2025. MVA also recorded significant double-digit percentage growth to EUR 14.3 million (previous year: EUR 10.3 million). OHL's sales performance was offset by a strong first quarter of 2024 and periodic shifts in sales due to the temporary production stoppage caused by the relocation of production from Wunsiedel to Kadan.

While EBITDA in the HVA division remained at the previous year's level, the MVA division reported a significant improvement in earnings. EBITDA in the OHL division developed positively despite the decline in sales, which is partly due to better pricing and insurance payments.

In terms of regions, higher sales in Europe/Africa largely compensated for lower sales in the Middle East and Asia/Pacific. In terms of the Group's overall result, Europe/Africa made the strongest contribution to earnings.

Overall statement on future development

Based on the current market conditions and the good start to the year, the PFISTERER Group expects strong growth in incoming orders and sales.

With PFISTERER's capabilities in the global energy transition environment, the Executive Board is confident of the Group's positive future prospects.
