Outlook 2025*

  • In the nine-month period of 2025, demand continued to be strongly influenced by short-termism.
  • Due to the uncertainties in the markets, Nabaltec revised the revenue forecast presented in the 2024 consolidated management report for Financial Year 2025 on 24 July 2025 and confirms this based on the figures as of 30 September 2025.
  • Nabaltec expects a decline in revenues of up to 2% for the full year 2025 compared to the previous year.
  • In its original forecast, Nabaltec had expected revenues to increase in the range of 3% to 5% compared to the previous year. Currency effects and increased market uncertainty due to US trade policy are having a negative impact on the company's revenues. In addition, the continued weak demand for products for the refractory industry and e-mobility will impact Nabaltec AG's revenues in 2025.
  • On the earnings side, Nabaltec is still sticking to its forecast issued in the 2024 annual report and continues to expect an EBIT margin in the range of 7% to 9% for the current Financial Year 2025.

* The forecast is based on the assumption that the economy and the industries relevant to Nabaltec will remain stable. 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 to Nabaltec. Inflation, trade barriers, high interest rates and an uncertain situation are slowing consumption and investment worldwide. In the event of continued negative economic distortions due to the geopolitical situation, negative effects on the net assets, financial position and results of operations cannot be ruled out. Furthermore, the other statements made in the outlook report remain valid.
