- SKAN recorded strong order intake in the first half year.
- Order backlog climbed to a new record high and book-to-bill ratio at 1.6 provides good visibility.
- Net sales and EBITDA are below the previous year's levels due to project postponements, which reflect the highly cyclical nature of SKAN's equipment business.
- Full order books and a high-quality order pipeline will enable the company in the second half of the year to compensate for the temporary shortfalls and achieve its growth targets.
- Total investments of CHF 21.5 million mainly related to the strategic initiative Pre-Approved Services.
SKAN
Both segments drive strategic initiatives forward

Equipment & Solutions
- Strong order intake in the first half of 2025 (+28.4%).
- Lower net sales and negative segment EBITDA due to project postponements and continued investments in strategic initiatives.
- R&D expenses (9.8% of sales) were mainly allocated to Integrated Process Solutions (flexible integrated systems for smaller batches) and standardization.
Services & Consumables
- Steady order intake and net sales as well as lower margin due to high comparative basis from H1 2024 (large order for high-margin AT consumables).
- Thanks to many new service orders and growing installed base, service business is expected to pick up in H2 2025.
- The development of Pre-Approved Services was driven forward in H1 2025 and is on track for regulatory approval in Q1 2026.

SKAN's project business characterized by non-linearity of value creation and cash-in
General value creation structure
(in % per project milestone)

- Net sales and EBIT recognition is closely linked to value creation based on project progress using the cost-to-cost PoC method.
- During the design & development phase, value added is low and accordingly net sales and EBIT are also lower.
- During value-added manufacturing & assembly, the net sales and EBIT curve rises steeply, while it flattens out again towards the end of a project.
- Cash-in through advance payments from customers at the beginning of a project and at milestones (start of manufacturing, factory acceptance test, site acceptance test, project completion).
SKAN
Record backlog drives growth outlook for H2 and beyond
Order backlog
(CHFm and ∆ in%)
Net sales (CHFm and ∆ in%)

Comments
- Net sales decrease mainly driven by project postponements.
- Additionally, more projects in lower value creation phases weighed on net sales.
- Adjusted for currency effects, the net sales decline amounted to -16.9%.
- Record CHF 386.4m backlog provides good visibility for the rest of the year and beyond.
Growth target on track for H2 despite temporary margin dip

EBITDA
(CHFm and margin in %)

Comments
EBITDA declined to CHF 0.9m, resulting in a margin of 0.7%, primarily driven by non-linearity of value creation of the project business.
Development of cost elements:
- Material costs are below prior-year levels due to project phase timing, with an increase expected in H2 as projects move into production and boost net sales and margin.
- Personnel expenses below prior year due to lower provision requirements.
- Other operating expenses rose mainly due to higher travel activity, increased maintenance and IT-related costs, reflecting the continued expansion of SKAN's operational activities.
- Continued investments (9.8% of net sales) in strategic initiatives directly expensed.
Note: Rounding differences may occur (1) CHF 2.1m change in inventory of finished, unfinished goods & work in progress not considered (HY 2024: CHF 3.4m)
Segment Equipment & Solutions (E&S)

-9.1
EBITDA Comments
- Strong increase of +28.4% YoY in order intake reflecting strong demand.
- Net sales & EBITDA impacted by the postponement of a major order scheduled for the valueintensive phase in H1, along with the shift of multiple projects currently in the lower value-intensive commissioning and qualification phase.
- As a result, approximately 20% of net sales and corresponding margin recognition have been shifted.
- Increased order backlog of CHF 346.0m (+22.3%) provides good visibility for H2 and beyond.
Segment Services & Consumables (S&C)

EBITDA Comments
10.0
- Stable order intake and net sales mainly due to high comparative basis from H1 2024:
- extraordinary performance of Aseptic Technologies.
- Large single orders of spare parts packages.
- Net sales impacted by the timing of maintenance contracts and retrofit projects execution, which are scheduled for the second half of the year. This increased order backlog to CHF 40.4m (+19.5%)
- EBITDA margin decline impacted by the product mix, with a rebound anticipated in H2 2025.
Cash flow driven by non-linearity of projects
Cash flow (CHFm)

Net-working-capital (NWC)

Confident market and business outlook
Market development
- SKAN continues to operate in a structurally growing market. Main drivers are:
- The underlying growth of the global pharmaceutical and biotech market;
- The reinforcing trend towards injectable drugs (three quarters of drugs in development are designed for injectable dosage form);
- The shift from traditional cleanrooms to the safer and more sustainable isolator technology;
- The reshoring of pharmaceutical production.
- As a consequence, demand for process solutions for the aseptic filling of drugs and for the associated services and consumables will continue.
Business development
- Even though the cyclical nature of the first half of the year, which is typical for the business, was more pronounced than in previous years, we are confident that in the second half of the year the temporary gaps in net sales and EBITDA caused by project postponements will be closed.
- Optimism is fueled by the strong order intake, the high order backlog and the full pipeline of requests for quotations.
- In addition, pre-production of standard isolators can be sold in the second half of the year.
- Together with Metronik, SKAN can now offer customers a comprehensive solution along the entire pharmaceutical value chain – from isolator technology and automation to fully digitalized and integrated manufacturing processes.
Stability
With our global presence and focus on customer proximity, SKAN is well positioned to ensure stability and delivery reliability even under changing trade and customs regulations.
Expanding the SKAN location in the US
Strategic relevance
Current developments in US customs policy confirm the strategic relevance of our plan to expand the SKAN location in the US and establish local production. We are currently reviewing suitable options.
Supply of US customers from Görlitz (DE)
We will continue to reliably supply our US customers from our location in Görlitz (DE). This allows SKAN to export to the US on the same terms as its competitors, all of whom are based in the EU.



Financial targets and guidance confirmed

Together always one step ahead!
