Revenue 51.8 EUR million (-4.7% yoy)
--------- -- -- ------------------------------
EBIT 4.7 EUR million (-18.9% yoy)
------ ----------------- -- -------------- --
EBIT Margin 9.3% (Q2/24: 10.4%)
------------- ------ ----------------

Net Debt -0.4 EUR million (31.12.24: 4.3 m)

  • Revenue decreased by 4.7% in the second quarter 2025 compared to the same quarter of the previous year.
  • EBIT margin of 9.3% below the previous year's figure. Weak demand for specialty aluminas and boehmites had a negative impact on the EBIT margin (as a percentage of total performance).
  • EPS decreased from EUR 0.46 in the second quarter of the previous year to EUR 0.35 in the second quarter of 2025.
  • Net debt as of 30 June 2025 amounts to EUR -0.4 million.

Nabaltec Q2 2025 Functional Fillers

8.1 4.6 4.9 Q2 24 Q1 25 Q2 25 CAPEX (EURm) -39.5% (yoy)

Revenue in the "Functional Fillers" product segment decreased by 3.5% yoy. Stable demand for fine precipitated hydroxides and a higher revenue of viscosity optimized hydroxides were not sufficient to compensate the decline in boehmites revenues of 52% in the second quarter of 2025.

The operating result (EBIT) was with EUR 4.6 million slightly below the level of last year. Resulting in an EBIT margin of 12.1% in this segment (Q2/24: 13.1%). The fine precipitated hydroxides product range, together with the viscosity optimized hydroxides, contributed significantly to this result.

CAPEX in the "Functional Fillers" product segment amounted to EUR 4.9 million in the second quarter 2025. Investments in the capacity expansion of boehmites and viscosity optimized hydroxides continue to be the main capex projects.

Nabaltec Q2 2025 Specialty Aluminas

Revenue in the "Specialty Aluminas" product segment decreased by 7.9% compared to the previous year's level in the second quarter. Overcapacity and weak demand on the market had a negative impact on both sales volumes and sales prices.

The operating result (EBIT) is slightly positive in the second quarter 2025. After a positive EBIT margin of 4.4% in the second quarter of 2024, the segment recorded a decline in the EBIT margin to 0.8% in the second quarter of 2025. Lower sales volumes and higher energy costs were the main reasons for the negative development compared to the year before.

CAPEX amounted to EUR 0.6 million in the "Specialty Aluminas" product segment. The amount includes expenditure for the general overhaul of two rotary kilns.

Cash flow from financing activity -3.3 -3.3 0.5%
Cash at end of the period 90.9 93.1 -2.4%
  • The decline in net operating income and the changes in working capital had a negative impact on cash flow from operating activities in the first six months of 2025.
  • The investment focus was on expanding the capacity of boehmites and viscosity optimized hydroxides, as well as expenditure for the general overhaul of two rotary kilns and the ongoing process optimization at the Schwandorf site.
  • Cash and cash equivalents amounted to EUR 90.9 million on 30 June 2025.

  • On July 24, 2025, Nabaltec has adjusted its revenue forecast for the current Financial Year 2025 downward and now expects revenue for the full year 2025 to decline by up to 2% 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 sticking to its previous forecast 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.
