The quarterly segment's revenues is 1.7 million USD (Q3'24: 2.5 million USD – Q2'25 : 2.2 million USD).

In the third quarter of 2025;

  • Negative impact of volume and price competition in the tire reinforcement segment (5.2 million USD),
  • Pressure on TL costs due to currency-inflation mismatch in the EMEA region (4.1 million USD),
  • The negative impact of the flood disaster that occurred at our Indonesian facility at the beginning of March (quarterly effect: 6.2 million USD; 9-months effect: 18.6 million USD),
  • Recording the net negative impact amounting to 5.1 million USD coming from offsetting positive impacts of 20 million USD insurance income and 1 million USD proceeds from the sale of scrap inventories and the negative impacts of 26.1 million USD inventory and asset impairment losses,
  • Despite the EBITDA contraction in the tire reinforcement segment, the quarterly EBITDA figure was USD 11.6 million (excluding flood impact : 22.9 million USD), thanks

to increased sales to profitable sectors in the composite segment and the favorable impact of cost efficiency projects.

The pressures on operating profitability in the third quarter of 2025 are also impacting net income level. Under these impacts, our quarterly loss for the third quarter of 2025 was USD 10.4 million.

In the third quarter of 2025, USD 8.3 million was invested in machinery and product sustainability.

Despite the adverse impacts of the flood incident in Indonesia and the acquisition of the remaining 39% minority shares in our subsidiary Microtex Composites Srl in May 2025 for EUR 34.9 million (USD 39 million), the improvement in net working capital led to a net debt level of USD 395 million in the second quarter of 2025. With continued effective working capital management during the third quarter of 2025, net debt decreased further to USD 376 million. However, due to the year-on-year decline in EBITDA, the net debt-to-EBITDA ratio stood at 6.9x at the end of the third quarter of 2025 (4.8x excluding the impact of the flood). In the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA, other operating income and expenses excluding FX gains and losses are also taken into account. In addition, the impairment of long-lived inventories amounting to USD 14.8 million in the last quarter of 2024 has been adjusted in the EBITDA calculation.
