1H quarter-by-quarter overview

Group topline – growth in orders and sales, driven by a recovery in EMEA

Order intake amounted to 487.5 million euro and grew steadily throughout the semester, despite challenging geopolitical market conditions and tariff policy uncertainties. This is an increase of 5% year-over-year, led by a growth in EMEA of 27%. Entertainment and Healthcare had strong demand and Meeting Experience improved on a rebound in ClickShare demand after last year's channel inventory corrections. With a positive book-to-bill ratio in 1H25, the orderbook expanded to 548.4 million euro, up 3% year-over-year.

Sales grew 5% to 454.4 million euro, led by a 10% growth in Entertainment, reflecting strong performances in both its business units, and a good momentum overall in EMEA. Healthcare's growth of 5% was driven by Surgical and Modality, and in particular its surgical software portfolio. Enterprise declined 5%, with a notable contrast between the recovery for ClickShare and a decline in hardware for Control Rooms. Growth was recorded in both the Americas and EMEA, with EMEA outperforming in Entertainment and the Americas in Healthcare.

Division topline – strong momentum in Entertainment, promising orders for Healthcare

In the Healthcare division, orders and sales were up 15% and 5% respectively, reflecting steady growth throughout the semester. Surgical & Modality saw good demand in EMEA and the Americas, reflecting in both orders and sales. This was partially offset by a weaker performance of the Asian markets, notably in China. The business unit continues to focus on value add software and workflow solutions. Diagnostic Imaging had a slower first semester but saw solid demand and growing orderbook toward the end of the second quarter. This included nice wins for its digital pathology portfolio and the new flagship OneLook breast imaging display, in both the Americas and EMEA.

Enterprise reported a small decline in orders and sales overall, but with a strong contrast between its two business units. Meeting Experience performed well with double-digit growth in orders and sales as channel inventories normalized after last year's corrections. ClickShare remains the market leader in the agnostic wireless conferencing market, with a largely stable market share in a declining market. Meanwhile, Barco launched ClickShare Hub, a modular video conferencing room system. The ClickShare Hub, Barco's first device developed on the MDEP platform, is scheduled to begin shipping toward the end of 2025. Control Rooms faced severe headwinds in 1H25, as uncertainties in the US market linked to tariffs and the DOGE program caused a slowdown in decision-making for government-related projects. In addition, hardwarefocussed projects, primarily LED in the Middle East, faced increased price competition. The Barco CTRL software solution continued to grow and is accounting for an increasing proportion of sales.

Entertainment experienced great momentum during the first half of 2025 and reported double-digit sales growth. The market circumstances in Cinema have steadily improved since the second half of 2024, with a strong movie slate, and a clear trend towards premium cinema experiences. Barco witnessed a strong resumption of the cinema investment cycle, after a long disruption during to the pandemic and its aftermath. In the first quarter, Barco signed several major frame contracts for laser cinema projectors, fueling orders for laser projectors in the next years. During the second quarter, this positive momentum continued with the signing of the first HDR lightsteering contracts in all three regions. This is supported by an impressive HDR movie slate. Also Immersive Experience performed well across regions during the first semester, driven by the renewed product portfolio, and by market share gains in the mid-segment of the market. The Encore 3 image processing platform started shipping in June 2025 and also contributed to the growth, while maintaining a solid orderbook for the second half of the year.

Gross profit supported by product mix, offsetting tariff impact; EBITDA exceeds 10%

Gross profit grew nominally to 181.5 million euro or 40.0% of sales, versus 39.7% in 1H24. On a more favorable product mix, with more software and services, the average product margin improved steadily. This was partially offset by the cost impact of the increased US tariffs. Although in principle Barco has begun to adjust pricing to reflect the net effect of the tariff increases to the US market on new orders, we did incur a one-time cost in 1H25 to absorb tariff impact on a portion of the existing orderbook, most notably in Entertainment that therefore reported a lower gross profit margin than last year.

EBITDA landed at 48.0 million euro, up from 35.2 million euro a year ago, translating to an EBITDA margin of 10.6%, versus 8.1% in 1H24. This is the result of sales growth, combined with a stable gross profit margin, and lower OPEX as a percentage of sales. Both EBITDA and EBITDA margin grew in all three divisions.

Free cash flow in 1H25 was 21.4 million euro versus 14.6 million euro a year ago. Capex for the semester amounted to 14.0 million euro, mainly for the automated warehouse in the Belgian plant and for financing Cinema-as-a-Service. ROCE was at 16% of sales.

The net cash position on June 30th 2025 was at 182.0 million euro, down from 259.0 million euro at year-end 2024. This reflects the positive free cash flow less the dividend payment and the share buyback program, which was completed on July 14th 2025.

Quote of CEO An Steegen

"In the first half of 2025, Barco delivered solid topline and EBITDA growth, driven by a strong performance in Entertainment, steady growth in Healthcare and a return to normalized channel inventory levels of ClickShare. We were happy to see that our new product introductions and embedded software solutions are contributing materially to the order and sales flow, including first orders for HDR lightsteering cinema projectors in all 3 regions.

We navigated a complex environment marked by geopolitical uncertainty and the impact of new US tariffs. Despite these challenges, we maintained commercial momentum, strengthened our orderbook, and continued to execute on our strategic priorities. I'm proud of how our teams responded with agility and focus, positioning us well for the remainder of the year."

Outlook full year 2025

The following statements are forward looking, and actual results may differ materially.

Geopolitical instability, combined with high volatility in trade policies and currency exchange rates, continue to impact market demand and visibility. Assuming no major adverse changes in the macro-economic circumstances, management maintains its guidance for topline and EBITDA margin growth for the full year 2025.

Profitability

Gross Profit

Gross profit increased to 181.5 million euros, representing 40.0% of sales, compared to 39.7% in the first half of 2024. An overall improved product mix with more new products, software and services was counterbalanced by the effects of higher US tariffs on the existing orderbook. For future orders, Barco is increasing prices to mitigate tariff impact in the end markets where applicable.

Indirect expenses

Total indirect expenses decreased nominally to 157.2 million euro, or 34.6% of sales, compared to 162.0 million or 37.3% in the first half of last year, reflecting strict cost control.

Cash flow & Balance sheet

Free cash flow

Free cash flow for 1H25 was 21.4 million versus 14.6 million in 1H24. Net operating cash flow was almost equal to gross operating cash flow, as lower trade receivables were compensated by lower customer advances. We continued CAPEX investments in manufacturing footprint and Cinema-as-a-Service, amounting to 14.0 million euro.

Working capital

Net working capital as percentage of sales was 12.2% in 1H25, largely stable versus 11.8% at year-end 2024 and significantly lower than 17.2% a year ago, mainly resulting from lower inventories. DSO was at 64 days, in balance with DPO of 63 days.

TOTAL WORKING CAPITAL 118.2 111.4 165.9

Capital expenditure

Capital expenditure was 14.0 million euro compared to 19.1 million euro a year ago. After the completion of the Chinese factories last year, the CAPEX of the first half is mainly linked to the start phase of the new automated warehouse in the Kortrijk manufacturing plant. Furthermore, CAPEX was used for the financing of Cinema-as-a-Service, in line with last year.

Return on Capital Employed

ROCE for the last 12 months ending on 30 June 2025 improved to 16%, compared to 11% a year ago.

Net financial cash position

The net financial cash position was 182.0 million euro compared to 259.0 million euro at year end 2024, and 172.6 million euro a year ago. Free cash flow in 1H25 was more than offset by the dividend payment and the share buyback program.

2. Update Sustainable Impact Journey

Barco's sustainability strategy "Sustainable Impact Journey," is built on three pillars: Protecting Earth, Engaging People, and Empowering Society. Each pillar is supported by clear KPIs and targets, shaped by stakeholder input through a double materiality assessment. This section highlights key progress made in the first semester of 2025.

Protecting Earth

As part of Barco's program to improve the environment footprint of its solutions portfolio, it has introduced and rolled out a company-wide eco scoring methodology and has set out the target level for 2025 at 75% eco-labelled revenues.2 The calculation base for ecolabelled revenues has been revised and now also includes software and service revenues, while previously it only included product and project revenues.

% Revenues from ECO labelled products 1H25 FY24 1H24 FY23
Group 70 % 68 % 64 % 65 %

The share of revenues from eco-labelled products in the first half of 2025 was 70%, based on a stricter methodology with more services and also software in scope. Positive contributors were the new portfolio of I600 and QDX projectors and Encore 3 image processing in Immersive Experience, and the growth of Barco CTRL and Nexxis in the sales mix of Control Rooms and Surgical & Modality respectively.

Engaging people

1H25 2H24 1H24 2H23 1H23
Number of employees 3,199 3,243 3,305 3,360 3,392

At the end of the first half of 2025, Barco employed 3,199 people. The decline versus yearend 2024 was mostly linked to the optimization of the manufacturing footprint, and associated overhead. In addition, smaller tactical efficiency measures were implemented across divisions, contributing to a leaner and more agile organization. Direct labor levels remained around flat. Following a period of elevated voluntary turnover in the postpandemic years, attrition has normalized and remains well under control.

Empowering society

Barco continues to engage closely with its customers and partners through its biannual Net Promoter Score (NPS) survey, which serves as a key indicator of customer satisfaction and loyalty. Committed to constantly improving, Barco works towards an NPS target-level of 50.

1H25 2H24 1H24 2H23
Customer net promoter score 56 54 52 49

In the first half of 2025, Barco reached a strong overall NPS of 56, 2 points higher than for FY24, reflecting continued trust in its products and services. Diagnostic Imaging and Cinema were standout contributors, with both end users and partners highlighting the reliability and quality of Barco's solutions, as well as the strength of their relationships with the sales teams. Control Rooms also showed solid progress, particularly in EMEA, where enhanced customer success initiatives helped strengthen engagement and satisfaction. Meeting Experience saw a broader base of end-user feedback, thanks to its open channel model, reinforcing Barco's commitment to listening and responding to customer needs.

Orders and sales evolution quarter-over-quarter

11 Orders Sales

In the Healthcare division, orders were up 15%, driven by EMEA and the Americas, while APAC declined due to continued slow market conditions in China. Sales were up 5%, fuelled by strong order to sales conversion for the surgical portfolio in the Americas.

Sales in Diagnostic Imaging got off to a slow start to the year in the Americas and EMEA, especially the UK market which had fewer than usual government tenders. In APAC, the South Asian markets performed well, while the Chinese healthcare market remained slow due to low governmental investments. Order intake was strong across all regions resulting in orderbook growth. There is healthy momentum for the emerging digital pathology segment, including notable new orders and the successful launch of SlideRightQA, an AIpowered quality assurance workflow solution, augmenting the productivity for pathology labs. More broadly, the business unit focuses on augmenting the display portfolio with workflow and software solutions, such as ConnectCare, a smart service solution that boosts display performance, ensures compliance, and extends asset lifetime—while reducing manual work and total cost of ownership.

Surgical & Modality had a strong first half of the year with orders and sales up double-digit versus the same semester last year. Orders and sales grew in EMEA and the Americas, while APAC was weak, especially in China, where government spending in Healthcare remains subdued.. The business unit continues to focus on value add software and workflow solutions and extensions of its surgical software portfolio.

The gross profit margin for the division improved significantly in the first half of 2025 versus the same semester last year. This was driven in large part by an improved product mix, including more high-end and surgical software. The improved gross profit combined with a lower OPEX cost base resulted in a materially higher EBITDA of 17.2 million euro (or 12.5% of sales), versus 11.5 million euro (or 8.8% of sales) in the first semester of 2024.

Orders and sales evolution quarter-over-quarter

Orders for the Enterprise division in the first half were -1% lower year-over-year, while sales declined -5%. There was a clear contrast between the performance of the division's business units.

Meeting Experience reported double-digit growth in both orders and sales, led by EMEA and the Americas, following the inventory corrections of the previous year. ClickShare maintained its leadership in the agnostic wireless conferencing market, keeping a largely stable market share in a declining market. Meanwhile, ClickShare has introduced the ClickShare Hub, a modular video conferencing system and Barco's first device built on the MDEP platform. It's expected to ship by late 2025. Our wireless portfolio remains wellpositioned thanks to strong interoperability, its license-free model and focus on security.

In contrast, Control Rooms faced significant headwinds in the first half of 2025, particularly in the U.S. market, where uncertainty surrounding tariff policies and the DOGE program delayed decision-making, and resulted in slower order intake and sales conversion in government-related projects. Despite these challenges, the Barco CTRL software platform continued its growth trajectory, with software sales accounting for more than 35% of sales, compared to over 30% of sales in 2024. Meanwhile, hardware-centric projects —especially LED installations in the Middle East— faced intensified price competition. Barco announced the LED Alliance partnership, a strategic collaboration with leading LED manufacturers to expand Barco's LED image processing portfolio and market reach. It combines Barco's proprietary image processing and system integration expertise with high-quality LED panels from partners, enabling tailored, high-performance visual solutions across various applications.

With more ClickShare revenue in the product mix, the average gross profit margin for the Enterprise division increased versus the year before. OPEX was at about the same level as last year. This led to an EBITDA of 8.6 million euro or 8.0% of sales, which compares to an EBITDA of 4.8 million euro or 4.2% of sales in the first half of 2024.

13 Orders Sales

The Entertainment division had a strong first semester of 2025. Order intake was up 3% versus last year, with a solid growth for the Americas and sales increased year-over-year by 10%, with growth in all regions.

In the first half of 2025, Cinema witnessed a compelling movie slate and a clear shift toward premium cinema experiences. The resurgence in cinema investments, following the prolonged disruption caused by the pandemic and its aftermath, was evident in several major frame contracts Barco secured for laser cinema projectors at the start of this year. In a market where laser conversion currently stands at approximately 35–40%, and with a capture rate of over 60% for new installations, Barco has already installed or secured commitments for over 45,000 laser projectors. In addition, during the second quarter, Barco signed its first HDR lightsteering contracts in APAC, EMEA and the Americas, further supported by an impressive lineup of HDR movie releases. These HDR contracts typically include an initial CAPEX payment, followed by recurring revenue streams. This makes Barco the clear leader and innovator in the transition to laser and HDR cinema technologies.

Immersive Experience reported solid sales growth during the first semester, with good performance of both its projector and image processing portfolio. The new I600 projector positions Barco well in the mid-segment of the market, which includes theme parks for example, and during the first semester Barco was market leader in the 1-DLP space. Also the QDX flagship 3-DLP projector is gaining traction after its launch end of 2024, and gradually supplanting its predecessor UDX. The long-anticipated Encore 3 image processing platform, with first shipments in June, also contributed to the growth. As a native 4K image processing solution, with modular scalability, ultra-low latency and buildto-order flexibility, it's engineered for high-performance live event environments. With a solid order pipeline, Encore 3 is well-positioned to deliver further revenue growth and margin expansion.

The gross profit margin for the Entertainment division was lower than in the first half of 2024, partly the result of product mix and volume deals, and partly due to the impact of higher trade tariffs on the existing orderbook. The EBITDA margin for the division during the first semester was 10.6%, versus 9.9% a year ago, an improvement that was helped by lower operational expenses.

(a) Translation exposure gives rise to non-cash exchange gains/losses. Examples are foreign equity and other long-term investments abroad. These long-term investments give rise to periodic translation gains/losses that are non-cash in nature until the investment is realized or liquidated. The comprehensive income line commonly shows a positive result in case the foreign currency appreciates versus the Euro in countries where investments were made and a negative result in case the foreign currency depreciates. In all 3 years (2025, 2024 and 2023), the negative or positive exchange differences in the comprehensive income line were mainly booked on foreign operations held in USD Dollar, Hong Kong Dollar and Chinese Yuan.

(b) Investments include entities in which Barco owns less than 20% of the shares. These are accounted for at fair value through other comprehensive income, as determined at moment of initial recognition, which implies that the Group measures these investments on a fair value basis with differences in fair value reflected in other comprehensive income. The remeasurement of the investments at quoted market price per 30 June 2025 versus the carrying amount, amounted to 4.0 million euro (30 June 2024: -10.2 million euro, 30 June 2023: 15.8 million euro).

(a) Investments include entities in which Barco owns less than 20% of the shares. These are accounted for at fair value through other comprehensive income. Interest in associates represents entities in which Barco owns between 20% and 50% of the shares. The movement mainly relates to the remeasurement at fair value of our investments, dividend received from CCO Barco Airport Venture LLC, result of the year of our interest in associates and the sale of a minority stake below regulatory tresholds.

(b) The decrease in cash versus year-end is mainly attributable to dividend payments (-44.2 million euro) and share buy-back (-52.9 million euro) partly offset by positive free cash flow (21.4 million euro).

(a) In the Extraordinary General Meeting of 25 April 2024, Barco's shareholders authorized a new share buyback. The program started on March 10th, 2025 and will end latest on February 10th, 2026. In 2025, Barco acquired 4.247.094 own shares for a total amount of 52.9 million euro. This corresponds to 88.09% of the program completed. In 2024, Barco acquired 1,509,000 own shares for a total amount of 24.5 million euro, based on the shareholders authorization given in the Extraordinary General Meeting of 25 April 2019.

(b) Per 15 April 2024, Barco completed the selective capital decrease of Cinionic Ltd. whereby the minority shareholder China Film Group obtained full ownership of the Cinionic Ltd. legal entity. As of 2024 June 1st, Barco gained back full ownership of Barco Solutions BV, without change in control. Barco paid 1 euro for the change in ownership.

The change in ownership from 70 to 100% had an impact of -3.2 million euro and has been reflected in equity per 30 June 2024, as there is no change in control.

Notes to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements

As the information provided in the interim financial statements is less comprehensive than that contained in the annual financial statements, these statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated integrated report for 2024.

1. Significant changes in the current reporting period

1.1 Significant IFRS accounting principles

IAS 34 was applied to prepare the half year interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the 6 months period ended 30 June 2025.

The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period.

1.2 Critical accounting judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty

In preparing the Company's interim condensed consolidated financial statements, management makes judgments in applying various accounting policies. The areas of policy judgment are consistent with those followed in the preparation of Barco's annual consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended 31 December 2024. In addition, management makes assumptions about the future in deriving critical accounting estimates used in preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements.

As disclosed, in the Company's 2024 annual consolidated financial statements, such sources of estimation include estimates on the future realization of deferred tax assets, write-off on inventories and potential impairment of goodwill.

1 .2 .1 Restructuring

The table below shows the restructuring costs recognized in the income statement per 30 June 2025 and 2024:

In thousands of euro 1H25 1H24
Restructuring (cash) -2,000 -7,800
Total restructuring -2,000 -7,800

In the first half of 2025, restructuring charges amounted to 2.0 million euro, as a result of a number of cost down measures across different countries and functions.

In the first half of 2024, restructuring charges amounted to 7.8 million euro, mainly linked to the further deployment of the strategic review of Control Rooms, closure of the Changping factory in China and the integration of the Cinionic activities into Barco.

1.3 IFRS standards issued but not yet effective

The Group has not early adopted any standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective. One amendment to IAS 21 'The effects of changes in foreign exchange rates: lack of exchangeability' applies for the first time in 2025, but does not have an impact on the interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group.

2. Segment information

Barco is a global technology company developing solutions for three main markets, which is also reflected in its divisional structure: Healthcare, Enterprise and Entertainment.

The Healthcare division comprises two business units:

  • Diagnostic imaging offers an extensive line-up of highprecision medical display systems for disciplines including radiology, mammography, dentistry, pathology and clinical review imaging, plus a full suite of software and services.
  • Surgical and Modality brings together two activities with great synergy potential, as they target the same endcustomers (often surgical rooms) and require the same go-to-market strategy. The offering of this business unit includes the company's digital operating room portfolio (hardware + video-over-IP-technology), custom medical displays for modality imaging, software solutions and a full suite of support services.

The Enterprise division comprises two business units:

  • Meeting Experience offers collaboration and visualization technologies for a smart workplace or learning environment: ClickShare wireless conference and presentation systems, as well as services.
  • Control Rooms offers a package of solutions to help control room operators make well-informed decisions: control room software, video walls, video wall controllers and a full suite of support services.

The Entertainment division comprises two business units:

  • Cinema offers the industry's most complete range of laser-based cinema projectors, including image processing, mediaserver and service delivery to theaters and moviegoers.
  • The Immersive Experience business unit offers solutions tailored to the specific needs of large venues, live events, themed entertainment (museums, theme parks, digital immersive art installations, projection mapping, etc.) and simulation applications: projection, image processing and related services.

No operating segments have been aggregated to form the above reportable operating segments.

The Board of directors monitor the results of each of the three divisions separately, so as to make decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment and consequently, the divisions qualify as operating segments. These operating segments do not show similar economic characteristics and do not exhibit similar long-term financial performance, therefore cannot be aggregated into reportable segments. Division performance is evaluated based on EBITDA. Group financing (including finance costs and finance revenue) and income taxes are managed on a group basis and are not allocated to the operating divisions.

Transfer prices between operating segments are on an arm's length basis in a manner similar to transactions with third parties.

2.1 Results by operating segment

The following table presents revenue, the timing of it and profit information regarding the Group's operating segments for the 6 months ending June 30, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively:

EBITDA 47,996 10.6 % 35,168 8.1 % 64,986 12.5 %

The overtime revenues relate for 40% to project sales, mainly in the Enterprise division (Control Rooms activities) and for 60% to recurring service revenues generated on maintenance contracts mainly in Entertainment and Enterprise. The over time revenue further includes financing, including lease agreements with customers in the Entertainment division over a period of more than one year.

Barco's contract liabilities are shown in the balance sheet in 'Advances received from customers' and in 'Accrued charges and deferred income'.

The activity of Barco is not subject to significant seasonality throughout the year and therefore disclosure per IAS34.21 is not required. Over the last 3 years (2022-2024) average sales in the first semester was good for 47% of the total annual volume. Note that the first half year in 2024, and especially the first quarter, was materially impacted from ClickShare inventory corrections in the Enterprise division.

4. Risk factors

This report should be read together with the section "Risk management and control processes" in the Company's Integrated annual report 2024 (page 83), which describes various risks and uncertainties to which the Company is or may become subject. The risks described in the Company's Integrated annual report 2024 are not the only risks facing the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to the Company or that the Company currently deems to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect its business, financial condition and/or operating results.

The evolving landscape of US trade policy, particularly with regard to import tariffs, does present a significant source of uncertainty for Barco. Tariff regimes have been subject to abrupt changes, with new measures being introduced, adjusted, or reversed with limited notice and with a limited duration. This volatility complicates the assessment and mitigation of potential impacts on supply chain costs, pricing strategies, and inventory valuation. Given the unpredictability of future tariff announcements and the lack of clarity on their duration or scope, management is required to exercise judgement in estimating the future financial implications. These include assumptions related to cost of goods sold, margin forecasts, and pricing.
