Foreword of the Executive Board

Dear Shareholders, dear Sir or Madam,

The first half of 2025 not only continued to be marked by a difficult market environment, as expected, but also brought greater uncertainty due to the tariff dispute initiated by the United States. This led to further delays in our customers' investment decisions and to cautious ordering, particularly at the beginning of the year. However, the order situation began to recover in March, and this trend continued for the most part during the second quarter. As a result, both order intakes in the first half of the year and the order backlog at the end of June were above the previous year's level.

The second quarter also showed significant improvements in earnings compared to the subdued first quarter of 2025. However, we were unable to fully compensate for the development in the first three months during the first half of the year. Revenue for the first half of the year amounted to EUR 320.5 million (–7.2%) and EBITDA to EUR 30.7 million (–35.2%). Operating EBITDA before project costs was EUR 32.9 million, while earnings after tax remained negative at EUR –11.2 million.

In financial terms, we remain in a very solid position with cash and cash equivalents of around EUR 113 million at the end of June 2025, an equity ratio of around 46% and a conservative debt ratio of 1.7 (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 to be in a range between EUR 65 million and EUR 85 million (previously: EUR 70 million to EUR 90 million). The costs for our digitalization project that will affect earnings will amount to around EUR 5 million.

Our outlook is based on a recovery in the second half of the year. This is supported by an upturn in the order situation since March. In the Hoses business unit, customers' inventory reductions should have come to an end. Similarly, important leading indicators for the Profiles business unit, such as German building permits, appear to have bottomed out – although this will only be reflected in our order intake with a delay. We expect stable performance for our Form business unit over the full year, while in the Belting business unit the task now is to quickly work through the relatively good order intake from the end of June. In the LSR division, we see satisfactory order intake for parts production and a recovery in mold production. This has also laid a good foundation for future capacity utilization in parts production.

Nevertheless, uncertainties remain high for the time being, also against the backdrop of the recently announced agreements in the US tariff dispute. A final assessment is not yet possible at this stage.

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

Group Management Report

Economic environment

The US government's tariff policy, protectionist tendencies and increasing geopolitical tensions had a noticeable impact on global market developments in the first half of 2025 and led to increased uncertainty. Nevertheless, in its forecast published at the end of July, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) assessed the outlook for the global economy somewhat more optimistically than in April. Although risks remain high, particularly in connection with US tariff policy, the global economy is proving more resilient than expected. For the current year, the IMF expects growth of 3.0% and 3.1% for 2026. This represents an upward revision of 0.2 and 0.1 percentage points respectively on the April forecasts but remains below the long-term average of 3.7%.

The forecast for GDP growth in the euro area was raised slightly by 0.2 percentage points to 1.0% for 2025 and left unchanged at 1.2% for 2026. Germany's economy is now expected to grow slightly in 2025 (0.1% after zero growth), with an increase of 0.9% expected for 2026. For Asia, the estimate for 2025 has been raised to 5.1% (previously: 4.5%).

The Austrian economy, which is currently experiencing its longest period of weakness in the post-war period, is also slowly returning to growth. After two years of recession, Austria's economic output is likely to stagnate in 2025. For 2026, the Austrian Institute of Economic Research (WIFO) expects GDP growth of 1.2%. Then, as a result of the upturn in global economy, both exports and domestic demand should give the Austrian economy some momentum again.

Global inflation is expected to decrease to 4.2% in 2025 and 3.6% in 2026, which is roughly in line with the IMF's April forecast. However, regional differences are significant. Inflation in the US is expected to remain above target, while it should be rather moderate in other major economies.

The US Federal Reserve has not yet adjusted its key interest rate in 2025, and the key interest rate range remains at 4.25 to 4.5%. The European Central Bank has lowered its key interest rate in several steps since the beginning of the year, from 3.15% to 2.15% (main refinancing rate), and decided to leave key interest rates unchanged at its last meeting in July 2025. This pause in the interest rate reduction cycle had already been signaled in advance and was fully priced in by the financial markets.

The US dollar came under significant downward pressure against the euro in the first half of 2025. The euro reached an annual high of USD 1.18 at the beginning of July, representing an increase of around 14% since the beginning of the year.

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. In the first half of 2025, commodity markets were mainly affected by lower global demand and uncertainties related to US tariff policy. Below is an overview of the most important raw materials.

Crude oil is an important raw material for the production of synthetic rubber precursors such as butadiene and carbon black. In the first half of 2025, the price of Brent crude oil was 15% below the previous year's level. Prices for butadiene, an essential basic material for both Semperit divisions, developed differently across regions: in Asia, they fell by 7% year-on-year, while in Europe they rose by 11% overall. These trends were also evident for butadiene derivatives.

Carbon black prices, which are also important for both divisions and correlate with heavy fuel oil (HFO), fell by 4% in Europe, which was less than the decline in HFO prices (–9%). This was mainly due to the significant increase in European gas prices (reference futures: +40%).

Natural rubber, which is particularly relevant for the Belting business unit, rose by 12% on Asian exchanges in the reporting period compared with the first half of 2024.

The price of iron ore, a raw material for wire rod production, fell by around 14% year-on-year, while the price of wire rod declined by 6%.

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

The Semperit Group's business performance in the first half of 2025 was characterized by a persistently difficult market environment, although the second quarter saw a significant improvement in earnings compared with the first quarter. The recovery in the order situation also continued after a subdued start to the year. Revenue for the first half of the year amounted to EUR 320.5 million (–7.2%) and EBITDA to EUR 30.7 million (–35.2%). Operating EBITDA before project costs was EUR 32.9 million.

The Semperit Industrial Applications (SIA) division, which comprises Hoses and Profiles, generated revenue of EUR 133.6 million (–4.7%) and EBITDA of EUR 24.2 million (–19.2%). This resulted in a margin of 18.1% (–3.3 PP). In the Hoses business unit, customer destocking should now have come to an end, while the profile business continues to be affected by the weak construction industry. The SEA division (Form, Belting and Liquid Silicone Rubber/LSR), which was confronted with project postponements by customers in the conveyor belt and LSR mold businesses in the first quarter, generated revenue of EUR 186.9 million (–9.0%), EBITDA of EUR 14.7 million (–46.9%) and an EBITDA margin of 7.9% (–5.6 PP).1 After customers postponed projects mainly in the conveyor belt and LSR molding businesses due to the volatile market situation in the first quarter, the second quarter brought a significant improvement in order activity.

Inventories of own products increased in the Group by EUR 8.7 million in the first six months, mainly due to seasonal factors (previous year: EUR 1.1 million). Total expenses remained stable at EUR 304.7 million (previous year: EUR 303.7 million). Cost of materials remained at the previous year's level at EUR 145.8 million (EUR 145.1 million). A slight increase in personnel expenses (+1.4% to EUR 114.5 million) was offset by savings in other operating expenses (–3.1% to EUR 44.4 million). The latter was mainly attributable to lower outgoing freight charges.

EBITDA thus reached EUR 30.7 million (previous year: EUR 47.3 million), and the EBITDA margin was 9.6% (previous year: 13.7%). Operating EBITDA amounted to EUR 32.9 million (previous year: EUR 47.9 million) and the margin to 10.3% (previous year: 13.9%). EBITDA was adjusted for effects on income from the Group's flagship digital transformation project ("oneERP") amounting to EUR 2.2 million. These are non-capitalizable expenses for the implementation of a uniform enterprise resource planning system across the Group. The capitalizable development costs for the ongoing implementation amounted to EUR 0.6 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 1-6 2025 Change 1-6 2024 2024
EBITDA 30.7 –35.2% 47.3 84.9
Project costs – OneERP 2.2 n/a 0.6 1.5
EBITDA before project costs 32.9 –31.3% 47.9 86.3

Regular depreciation and amortization increased slightly to EUR 24.7 million (previous year: EUR 22.9 million). Impairment losses on intangible assets amounted to EUR 3.3 million and related to the customer base in the Liquid Silicone Rubber (LSR) business. EBIT thus amounted to EUR 2.6 million (previous year: EUR 23.7 million).

The financial result amounted to EUR –11.3 million (previous year: EUR –7.9 million), with the deviation primarily attributable to negative currency effects resulting from the weaker US dollar.

Tax expenses fell to EUR 2.5 million (previous year: EUR 6.3 million), bringing earnings after tax to EUR –11.2 million (previous year: EUR 9.6 million). This corresponds to earnings per share of EUR –0.54 (previous year: EUR 0.47).

1 The comparative figures have been adjusted.

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

The second quarter was characterized by a significant improvement in earnings compared with the first quarter of 2025. Revenue rose by 11.3% quarter-on-quarter to EUR 168.8 million, while EBITDA increased by 76.2% to EUR 19.6 million. EBIT turned positive, rising from EUR –1.3 million in Q1 2025 to EUR 4.0 million. This was primarily due to a recovery in the Semperit Engineered Applications division, which had been confronted with project delays at the beginning of the year, including in the conveyor belt and molding businesses.

Compared with the same quarter of the previous year, revenue remained stable in the second quarter of 2025, while expenses increased slightly by EUR 2.4 million or 1.6% to EUR 150.1 million, mainly due to higher personnel expenses in connection with further reductions in overhead costs in the personnel area. EBITDA in the second quarter of 2025 was therefore EUR 19.6 million (previous year: EUR 24.4 million), and the EBITDA margin was 11.6% (previous year: 14.4%). Operating EBITDA before project costs for oneERP amounted to EUR 20.9 million, compared with EUR 24.8 million in Q2 2024.

The Semperit Industrial Applications division recorded a decline in revenue of 4.6% to EUR 68.1 million compared with the second quarter of 2024. However, this represents an increase of 4% compared with the first quarter of 2025. At EUR 100.7 million, revenue in the Semperit Engineered Applications division was 2.6% higher than in the same quarter of the previous year and 16.8% higher than in the first quarter of 2025.

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 June 30, 2025, can be summarized as follows:

Balance sheet

06/30/2025 Share 12/31/2024 Share Change
582.9 66% 604.2 66% –3.5%
297.8 34% 308.6 34% –3.5%
880.7 100% 912.9 100% –3.5%
400.8 46% 430.9 47% –7.0%
297.8 34% 314.4 34% –5.3%
182.1 21% 167.6 18% 8.6%
880.7 100% 912.9 100% –3.5%

Non-current assets remained largely stable at EUR 582.9 million (–3.5%), of which EUR 450.2 million was attributable to property, plant, and equipment (December 31, 2024: EUR 466.6 million). Additions to non-current assets of EUR 15.5 million (primarily investments in construction and technical equipment) were offset by regular depreciation and amortization of EUR 24.7 million. Impairment losses on intangible assets in the Liquid Silicone Rubber (LSR) business unit amounted to EUR 3.3 million.

Current assets amounted to EUR 297.8 million (–3.5%), with a seasonal increase in inventories of EUR 12.1 million to EUR 97.8 million. In contrast, a decrease in trade receivables of EUR 6.8 million to EUR 66.8 million had an opposing effect. As of June 30, 2025, trade receivables of EUR 27.7 million (December 31, 2024: EUR 16.8 million) were sold to a factoring bank. Cash and cash equivalents decreased by EUR 13.1 million to EUR 112.9 million and other financial assets by EUR 4.2 million to EUR 1.2 million, mainly due to the expiry of a short-term financial investment.

The dividend payment and the negative result are reflected in equity. Financial liabilities remained largely stable at EUR 231.4 million (December 31, 2024: EUR 234.1 million), with EUR 8.9 million reclassified from long-term to short-term due to the maturity structure. At the end of July 2025, i.e. after the end of the reporting period, a fixed-interest tranche of the corporate Schuldschein loans with a nominal value of EUR 31.0 million was repaid from own funds.

Cash and cash equivalents and similar investments 112.9 –13.6% 130.7
Net financial debt (+) / net financial surplus (-) 118.6 14.7% 103.3

As of June 30, 2025, the Semperit Group had net financial debt of EUR 118.6 million, as financial liabilities (EUR 231.4 million) exceeded cash and cash equivalents (EUR 112.9 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 (for the last twelve months), was 1.7x as of June 30, 2025 (December 31, 2024: 1.2x).

Cash flow

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

The development of the liquidity situation in the first half of 2025 can be summarized as follows:

Cash flow1

Cash flow from operating activities 25.1 –48.2% 48.5
Cash flow from investing activities –11.7 –58.5% –28.1
Cash flow from financing activities –24.6 n/a –8.3
Change in cash and cash equivalents –13.1 n/a 11.4

1 The calculation includes continued and discontinued operations.

In the first half of 2025, cash flow from earnings amounted to EUR 22.9 million (previous year: EUR 41.4 million), and cash flow from operating activities amounted to EUR 25.1 million (previous year: EUR 48.5 million).

Cash flow from investing activities amounted to EUR –11.7 million (previous year: EUR –28.1 million). Cash-effective investments in intangible assets and property, plant and equipment were significantly below the previous year's level at EUR 18.5 million (EUR 38.1 million). Of this, EUR 5.5 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 16.7 million. In terms of individual countries, the largest investments were made in the Czech Republic at EUR 7.1 million (previous year: EUR 15.3 million), Austria at EUR 5.1 million (previous year: EUR 13.9 million), Poland at EUR 2.3 million (previous year: EUR 3.8 million), Germany at EUR 1.5 million (previous year: EUR 1.2 million) and in the USA at EUR 0.9 million (previous year: EUR 2.6 million).

Cash flow from financing activities amounted to EUR –24.6 million (previous year: EUR –8.3 million) and primarily included the dividend payment of EUR –10.3 million in the first half of 2025, repayments of financial and lease liabilities in the amount of EUR –5.7 million, and interest payments of EUR –5.0 million. The comparative period in 2024 was primarily characterized by the dividend payment in the same amount and the assumption of financial liabilities in the amount of EUR 18.0 million.

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

The business performance of the SIA division reflects the continuing challenging economic environment. Lower sales volumes led to a 4.7% decline in revenue to EUR 133.6 million. EBITDA reached EUR 24.2 million (–19.2%), and the EBITDA margin was 18.1% (previous year: 21.4%). Overall, however, the order situation shows a recovery compared with the same period of the previous year, driven primarily by the hose business.

  • Demand for hydraulic and industrial hoses and order intake remained low due to market conditions, including the slowdown in the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) business (end customers), which indirectly affects our customers. While OEMs are sending mixed signals regarding a recovery, our direct customer business indicates that inventory reduction may have come to an end. This is reflected in a slight recovery in order intake, which also continued in the second quarter. As a result, both order intake and order backlog at the end of June were above the previous year's level in the first half of the year. Sales volumes did not quite reach the previous year's level. Fixed cost reductions and gains in market share, particularly with medium-sized customers, partially offset these effects, but did not compensate for them entirely.
  • Demand and order intake for elastomer and sealing profiles remained at a low level due to the continuing weakness of the construction industry. Leading indicators, such as building permits for the German construction industry, are likely to have bottomed out by now. However, due to the time lag between approval and implementation of construction projects, demand from this sector is not expected to pick up in the short term.

Division Semperit Engineered Applications (SEA)

Key figures of Semperit Engineered Applications

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 have been adjusted accordingly.

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

  • Revenue of the SEA division amounted to EUR 186.9 million (–9.0%) in the first half of 2025. This was attributable to the subdued performance in the first quarter, primarily due to project postponements in the conveyor belts and LSR molding businesses. As expected, there was a significant recovery in the second quarter, but this was not enough to fully offset the weak start of the year. The division's EBITDA amounted to EUR 14.7 million and the margin to 7.9% (previous year: EUR 27.7 million and 13.5%, respectively). Overall, the order situation improved compared with the same period of the previous year.
  • The Form business unit, which has also included the mandrel hose product group since the beginning of the year, recorded a slight increase in revenue, with demand for individual products showing a mixed picture. The Mountain Applications segment in particular saw very good momentum, while demand for filter membranes picked up in the industrial sector. The markets for handrails showed a mixed picture depending on the region, while the transport sector developed steadily, although there are some delays in major rail infrastructure projects. Overall, order intake and the order backlog at the end of the first half of the year were above the previous year's level. An improved product mix and cost savings supported earnings, particularly in the second quarter.
  • At the beginning of the year, the conveyor belt (Belting) business was mainly affected by ongoing delays in customer projects and significantly increased uncertainty regarding US tariff policy. Other factors included temporary shifts in the product mix toward lighter belts and price pressure from Asian competitors. The second quarter saw a recovery, with order intake in the first half of the year slightly above the previous year's level. The order backlog at the end of June was roughly on par with the previous year.
  • The LSR (Rico) business unit increased its EBITDA on the back of stable revenue compared with the previous year, driven primarily by developments in the second quarter and cost savings. Order intake for parts production was satisfactory overall, albeit varying across 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 sectors related to the construction industry. In mold production for external tools, there was a recovery following project postponements by customers in the first quarter, and capacity utilization increased significantly. This also laid a good foundation for future capacity utilization in parts production.

Employees

As of June 30, 2025, the headcount stood at 4,008 employees (FTE, full-time equivalent, including temporary staff), down from June 30, 2024 (continuing operations: 4,206). The decline is primarily attributable to the reduction in headcount as part of the cost-cutting program. On average, the headcount for the first six months of 2025 was 3,988 employees (average H1 2024: 4,262).

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 terms of office will expire at the end of the Annual General Meeting that approves the discharge for the 2028 (Birgit Noggler) and 2029 (Stefan Fida) financial 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 Chairman of the Executive Board on April 1, 2025.

Outlook

For the full year 2025, operating EBITDA (before project costs) is expected to be in a range between EUR 65 million and EUR 85 million. The costs for the digitalization project that will impact earnings will amount to around EUR 5 million.

This outlook is based on a recovery in the second half of the year. Nevertheless, uncertainties remain high for the time being, also against the backdrop of the recently announced agreements in the US tariff dispute. A final assessment is not yet possible at this stage.

Note

This outlook is based on the assessments of the Executive Board as of August 12, 2025, and does not take into account the impact of potential acquisitions, divestments, or other unforeseeable structural and economic changes during the remainder of the year. These assessments are subject to both known and unknown risks and uncertainties, which may result in actual events and outcomes differing from the statements made here.

5. Disclosures of financial instruments

5.1 Disclosures on financial assets

The three levels in the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows:

  • Level 1: measurement based on quoted prices on an active market for a specific financial instrument
  • Level 2: measurement based on quoted market prices for similar instruments or on the basis of valuation models based exclusively on inputs that are observable on the market
  • Level 3: measurement based on models with significant inputs that are not observable on the market

The following table shows the carrying amounts of the individual financial assets classified in accordance with the measurement categories pursuant to IFRS 9.

1 FVPL (fair value through profit and loss); FVOCI (fair value through OCI); AC (at amortized cost)

Trade receivables measured at fair value through other comprehensive income include those receivables that are held to collect and for sale under a factoring program. The purchase price and therefore the fair value of the accounts receivable sold is equal to the nominal value, which means that the derecognition has no effect on the profit or loss. All del credere risk is transferred to the factoring bank; only the payment date risk and interest rate risk remain in part with the Semperit Group. The requirements for the full derecognition of accounts receivable sold under the factoring program are met in accordance with IFRS 9. Interest on factoring is recognized under interest expense. As of June 30, 2025, accounts receivable of EUR 27,700 thousand (previous year: 16,826 TEUR) had been sold to the factoring bank. In the first half of 2025, EUR 395 thousand in interest expenses were incurred for factoring (previous year: EUR 303 thousand).

The derivative financial instruments (stand-alone financial instruments) consist of foreign exchange forward contracts. The fair values of these forward contracts are determined using recognized financial mathematical valuation models. Future cash flows are simulated based on the interest rate curves published as of the reporting date. Additionally, the credit risk of the counterparties is taken into account in the valuation.

1 FVPL (fair value through profit and loss); FVOCI (fair value through OCI); AC (at amortized cost)

Derivative financial instruments (stand-alone financial instruments) measured at fair value through profit or loss are forward exchange contracts and a contingent purchase price liability arising from the acquisition of M+R Dichtungstechnik GmbH ("M+R").

Derivate financial instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income include an interest rate swap designated as cash flow hedge to hedge interest rate risk. Unrealized gains and losses for the effective portion (per effectiveness measurements) are recognized in other comprehensive income. The ineffective portion is recognized in the other financial result in the profit or loss for the period. When the hedged transaction (e.g., interest payment) is realized, the corresponding amount recognized in other comprehensive income is reclassified to the consolidated income statement.

The fair values of the forward exchange contracts and the interest rate swap are determined using accepted financial mathematical measurement models. Future payment flows are simulated using the yield curves published on the reporting date. In addition, the carrying amount is adjusted to take into account the credit risk of the respective counterparty. The contingent purchase price liability is calculated based on the development of the business activities of M+R and is discounted with a cost of equity rate typically applied on the market. It is reported as a derivative in current other financial liabilities.

The fair values correspond to the carrying amounts for all financial liabilities, with the exception of those stated below and the liabilities from redeemable non-controlling interests. Financial mathematical valuation methods are used to determine the fair value of financial instruments for which no active market is available. The parameters relevant to valuation for determining fair value are based in part on forward-looking assumptions.

1 AC (at amortized cost)

The fair value of the corporate Schuldschein loan and fixed-interest bank financing was determined by discounting the contractual payment streams with current interest rates. The comparable interest rates at the reporting date were derived from capital market yields with matching terms and then adjusted for the current risk and liquidity costs that are observable on the market. These comparable interest rates were derived based on a current assessment of the rating of the Semperit Group.

For information on the valuation of liabilities from redeemable non-controlling interests, please refer to the explanations in the consolidated financial statements as at December 31, 2024.
