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.
