Nabaltec Q4 2025 Functional Fillers

Revenue in the "Functional Fillers" product segment decreased by 10.5% yoy. An unexpected decline of 9.1% in our most important product area, fine hydroxides, was the main reason for this revenue development in the fourth quarter 2025.

The operating result (EBIT) was with EUR 1.5 million significantly below the level of last year. Resulting in an EBIT margin of 4.8% in this segment (Q4/24: 17.8%). In addition to the decline in revenues, increased maintenance costs in the fourth quarter also weighed on EBIT.

CAPEX in the "Functional Fillers" product segment amounted to EUR 5.2 million in the fourth quarter 2025. The main expenditures were attributable to investment projects to expand capacity for boehmite and viscosity-optimized hydroxides.

Nabaltec Q4 2025 Specialty Aluminas

Revenue in the "Specialty Aluminas" product segment slightly increased by 0.6% compared to the previous year. We assume that the bottom has been reached in this segment.

The operating result (EBIT) was negative in the fourth quarter 2025 but slightly improved in comparison to the previous year's quarter. An optimized product mix compared to the same quarter last year helped to stem the losses somewhat.

CAPEX amounted to EUR 1.8 million in the "Specialty Aluminas" product segment. The amount includes expenditure for the general overhaul of the rotary kiln.

Cash Flow Statement Nabaltec Group

  • The decline in net operating income and above all changes in working capital had a negative impact on cash flow from operating activities in the year 2025.

  • Cash and cash equivalents amounted to EUR 72.3 million on 31 December 2025.

Preliminary figures Q1 2026

12

Revenue EUR 53.2 million (-2.7% yoy)

EBIT EUR 2.7 million (-33.8% yoy)

EBIT Margin (from the total performance)

5.2% (Q1/25: 7.5%)

  • Q1 revenue of EUR 53.2 million is slightly below the prior year, reflecting a continued challenging market environment across both segments.
  • EBIT margin of 5.2% in Q1 2026, is impacted by higher energy costs - particularly gas - and increased depreciation and amortization following the capitalization of assets under construction.
  • Release of detailed figures on the first-quarter results will be on May 21, 2026.

Outlook 2026*

  • The demand in 2026 will continue to be characterized by short-termism and high volatility.
  • Despite the economic and industry-specific environment, the company expects revenues growth in 2026 to be in the range of 4% to 6% compared to the previous year (2025: EUR 197.0 million).
  • On the earnings side, Nabaltec expects an EBIT margin in the range of 5% to 7% (2025: 7.7%). The decline in the EBIT margin compared to Financial Year 2025 is primarily due to rising material costs, including energy, as well as a significant increase in depreciation and amortization.

* The forecast is based on the assumption that the economy and the industries relevant to Nabaltec will develop in a stable fashion. At the time the forecast was prepared, it remains unclear at what speed or with what dynamics the economic situation will recover globally and in the markets relevant for Nabaltec. Inflation, high interest rates and the uncertain situation are putting the brakes on consumption and investment worldwide. In the event of continuing negative economic upheavals due to the geopolitical situation, adverse effects on the liquidity, financial and earnings situation cannot be ruled out. The current escalation of the Middle East conflict is increasing geopolitical and eco nomic uncertainties. A further intensification of the conflicts could place a strain on the global economy, particularly through rising energy prices, disrupted supply chains, and a weakening of demand. These factors may negatively impact the company's business performance during the forecast period.
