Q1 2025/26 key events

Headwinds hamper start to the year

In the first quarter of the financial year, Novem gen erated total revenue of €128.9 million, representing a year-on-year decline of -8.0% against the backdrop of mounting market pressures across all regions. Adjusted for currency effects, revenue would have been higher by 4.0% or €5.2 million, as unfavourable FX effects weighed on the reported figure. The revenue decrease was primarily driven by the Tooling segment, which experiences a different and more back-end loaded pro ject phasing compared to the previous year. Meanwhile, the series business remained fairly stable, supported by solid demand for a premium US EV model. However, revenue Series was adversely affected by temporary customer production halts in particular in Americas, including a customer plant shutdown linked to strate gic realignments amid ongoing US tariff discussions. Additionally, delayed start of productions (SOPs) and slower-than-expected ramp-up curves of new busi ness further weighed on both turnover and profitability. These combined effects resulted in an Adj. EBIT margin of 6.0% for the reporting quarter. In response, Novem has initiated further cost optimisation measures, with a particular focus on central functions in Germany.

New business secured in spite of adversity

Despite the difficult market conditions, Novem success fully secured new business wins with Volvo and General Motors, reflecting the strong positioning and continued trust among leading automotive manufacturers.

3CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION

Revenue

Total revenue of €128.9 million in the first quarter of financial year 2025/26 decreased by €-11.2 million or -8.0% compared to the same period last year. Based on prior year (constant) exchange rates, revenue would have been higher by 4.0%. This currency impact was mainly driven by the US Dollar and the Mexican Peso. On a segmental basis, revenue in the first three months of 2025/26 was generated in Americas (€61.4 million), followed by Europe (€55.2 million) and Asia (€12.3 million).

Revenue Series

Revenue Series decreased slightly in the first quarter of the current financial year to €116.8 million, -2.5% lower than prior year (Q1 2024/25: €119.8 million). Revenue Series accounted for 90.6% of total revenue and remained the key pillar of the business.

Revenue Tooling

Revenue Tooling recorded at €12.2 million in the first three months of the financial year 2025/26 (Q1 2024/25: €20.3 million), resulting in a year-on-year decrease of €-8.1 million (-40.1%), mainly because of a different project phasing.

Change in finished goods and work in process

Change of finished goods and work in process decreased by €-1.5 million (-77.1%) from €1.9 million last year to €0.4 million in the same period of the current financial year 2025/26 due to lower finished goods (€-2.7 million) and lower intra-group profit elimination on stock (€-0.1 million); partly offset by higher tooling inventories (€+1.3 million).

Other operating income

Other income increased by €1.9 million from €1.4 million in the first three months of the financial year 2024/25 to €3.3 million in the first quarter of the financial year 2025/26. This deviation was predominantly driven by higher income from release of sales accruals of €1.3 million as well as higher income from exchange gains of €0.6 million.

Cost of materials

Cost of materials improved from €-68.0 million in the first quarter last year to €-62.6 million in the first three months of the current year, resulting in a year-on-year change of -7.9%. The cost of materials to output (total operating performance) ratio increased by 0.5 percentage points to 48.4% in the first quarter of the financial year 2025/26 (Q1 2024/25: 47.9%).

Personnel expenses

Personnel expenses recorded at €-38.2 million in Q1 2025/26, lower by €1.2 million or -3.1% in comparison to the same reporting period last year (Q1 2024/25: €-39.4 million). As a percentage of total operating performance, personnel expenses increased by 1.8 percentage points year-on-year to 29.5%. The positive deviation was predominantly driven by lower revenue and negatively impacted by poor cost coverage, as costs could not be adjusted in the same magnitude as the revenues declined.

Depreciation, amortisation and impairment

Novem reported depreciation, amortisation and impairment of €-7.9 million in the first three months of the financial year 2025/26 and therefore slightly decreased by €0.2 million or -2.1% compared to last year (Q1 2024/25: €-8.1 million). This decrease was due to lower depreciation on buildings (€+0.1 million) and other equipment (€+0.1 million).

Other operating expenses

Other operating expenses of €-16.4 million in the first quarter of financial year 2025/26 recorded slightly below prior year of €-16.5 million in the first three months of the financial year 2024/25. The decrease was primarily driven by lower allowances on receivables, partly compensated by higher foreign currency translation losses and other expenses.

3CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION

Finance income and costs

The financial result stood at €13.4 million in the first three months of financial year 2025/26 compared to €-8.6 million in the same reporting period in prior year.

Novem reported finance income of €17.7 million in the first quarter of 2025/26 and thus came in €16.3 million above the first three months of last year. This devia tion was predominantly driven by favourable currency translation effects, but negatively affected by lower interest income.

Finance costs for the first three months of the finan cial year 2025/26 recorded at €-4.2 million, marking a decrease of €5.7 million compared to the same report ing period last year (Q1 2024/25: €-9.9 million). This deviation was mainly attributable to lower foreign cur rency translation effects as well as lower bank interests compared to previous year.

Income tax result

Despite a decline in EBIT, the positive financial result led to an overall increase in earnings before taxes. Conse quently, the income tax expense rose from €-0.7 million in last year's Q1 to €-5.3 million in the first three months of the current financial year 2025/26.

Adjustments

Adj. EBIT

Adj. EBIT represents the operating result adjusted for exceptional non-recurring items. As such, Novem adjusts certain one-off effects to better show the underlying operating performance of the Group. The adjustments made follow a pre-defined and transpar ent approach and form part of the regular monthly closing and reporting routines.

Adjustments

Adjustments in the first three months of the financial year 2025/26 recorded €-2.6 million below the same reporting period prior year and included €0.2 million restructuring costs for downsizing the plant Žalec.

Adjustments in the first quarter of the financial year 2024/25 comprised €2.6 million single impairment due to outstanding receivables against an insolvent tier-1 client as well as €0.2 million severance payments.

The Adj. EBIT margin of 6.0% for the first quarter of the financial year 2025/26 was 4.1 percentage points below prior year's margin of 10.1%. As a consequence, the Adj. EBITDA margin of 12.1% also fell short of last year's figure of 15.9%.

Total assets

Total assets amounted to €554.1 million as of 30 June 2025 and marked a decrease of €-14.0 million or -2.5% compared to the end of last financial year 2024/25 (31 March 2025: €568.1 million).

Non-current assets

Non-current assets decreased from €241.9 million as of 31 March 2025 by -4.2% to €231.7 million as of 30 June 2025. This movement resulted primarily from a decline in property, plant and equipment of €-8.3 million or -4.9%, mainly due to the depreciation effect in the reporting period, followed by a decline in trade receivables (€-1.3 million).

Current assets

Current assets decreased to €322.4 million compared to the previous balance sheet date (31 March 2025: €326.2 million), representing a decrease of €-3.8 million or -1.2%. This change was mainly driven by a lower cash position (€-6.9 million) and a decrease in other receivables (€-5.0 million) attributable to lower tax receivables. The increased trade receivables had an offsetting effect of €8.2 million. Through non-recourse factoring, Novem sold €37.9 million trade receivables as of 30 June 2025, falling below the volume of €41.2 million as of 31 March 2025 by €-3.3 million.

Total working capital amounted to €136.9 million as of 30 June 2025 and, therefore, higher than as of 31 March 2025 by 10.5%. This was largely driven by higher tooling net and trade receivables as well as lower trade payables with an offsetting effect in inventories and contract assets. The most significant changes in tooling net related to an increase in tooling trade receivables of €3.1 million, higher tooling inventory of €1.8 million and a decrease in the tooling-related deferred income position of €1.1 million due to project closures and the switch to series production. Consequently, total working capital in % of LTM revenue increased by 2.9 percentage points to 25.8% (31 March 2025: 22.9%).

Equity

As of 30 June 2025, the equity position declined to €92.2 million from €93.9 million at the end of the last financial year 2024/25. The decrease was attributable to a significant drop in the currency translation reserve, which fell by €-17.5 million to €-17.0 million as of 30

June 2025 (31 March 2025: €0.4 million). The impact was offset by the profit generated in the first quarter of 2025/26 (€+15.6 million).

Non-current liabilities

Non-current liabilities totalled €326.0 million as of 30 June 2025, remaining unchanged to the end of last financial year 2024/25.

As of 30 June 2025, gross financial debt amounted to €293.9 million and therefore recorded a decrease of €-4.4 million, entirely attributable to the decline in lease liabilities. Cash and cash equivalents decreased by €-6.9 million compared to the end of the previous financial year 2024/25 and were thus the main driver of the €2.5 million increase in the net financial debt position.

Current liabilities

Current liabilities amounted to €136.0 million as of 30 June 2025, down by -8.2% or €-12.1 million compared to 31 March 2025. The decline was mainly attributable to lower trade payables of €-6.2 million or -12.7%, lower other provisions of €-3.5 million and was followed by lower other liabilities of €-3.1 million due to tooling project closures resulting in revenue recognition of received advanced payments.

Cash flow from operating activities

Cash flow from operating activities developed positively from €0.6 million in the first quarter of last year to €2.3 million in the first quarter of 2025/26. The development is mainly explained by a year-on-year increase of €10.4 million in cash received from income taxes, to the larg est extent due to tax refunds resulting from excessive advance payments. Additionally, the deviation stems from changes in deferred taxes (€+5.6 million) and in inventories (€+3.7 million). This was offset by a higher cash out-flow for trade payables of €-17.9 million.

Cash flow from investing activities

Cash out-flow for investing activities reached €-0.9 million in the current financial year (Q1 2024/25: €-3.7 million). The cash flow was characterised by lower investments in property, plant and equipment in the amount of €3.1 million.

Cash flow from financing activities

Cash out-flow for financing activities showed the larg est deviation and increased by €-3.7 million to €-7.3 million in the first quarter of 2025/26 (PY: €-3.6 million). The change in cash paid for lease liabilities resulted from reduced lease liabilities (€-2.8 million) and a cur rency effect of €-2.1 million.

Europe

External revenue in Europe increased by 9.0% or €4.6 million from €50.6 million in the first quarter of financial year 2024/25 to €55.2 million in the first three months of the financial year 2025/26.

Europe equalled 42.8% of total revenue in the first quarter of the financial year 2025/26 (Q1 2024/25: 36.1%).

Loss-making Adj. EBIT in Europe in the first three months of the financial year 2025/26 came in at €-3.3 million and thus was lower than in the same period last year by €-2.1 million (Q1 2024/25: €-1.2 million). Consequently, the Adj. EBIT margin also decreased from -1.8% in prior year to -5.5%.

The region Europe suffered from an ongoing poor cost coverage as a result of the continued weak call-offs. Moreover, bottom line was diluted by less favourable Tooling business compared to last year. On the other hand, customer compensation payments and the release of accruals helped to mitigate the negative impacts.

Americas

In Q1 2025/26, external revenue in Americas declined by -18.2% to €61.4 million (PY: €75.1 million). The effect of currency translation amounted to €-4.4 million.

In the first quarter of the financial year 2025/26, Americas accounted for 47.7% of total revenue (PY: 53.6%).

Adj. EBIT in Americas recorded at €10.4 million in Q1 2025/26, which represents a significant decline of -29.1% over last year (Q1 2024/25: €14.7 million). As a result, the Adj. EBIT margin decreased from 15.6% last year to 12.5%.

The drop in revenue mainly drove the shortfall in Americas. The unfavourable development in revenue was predominantly attributable to Tooling business, while Series revenue was almost stable compared to prior year. This was despite additional pressure from a customer plant shutdown in connection with strategic realignments amid US tariff discussions. The operating result was significantly impacted by an unfavourable product mix and a negative FX effect, partially offset by the release of accruals.

Asia

External revenue in Asia declined from €14.4 million in the first quarter of the financial year 2024/25 to €12.3 million in the first three months of the financial year 2025/26, marking a decrease of -14.4% or €-2.1 million. The impact of currency translation was €-0.8 million.

Asia contributed 9.6% to total revenue in the first three months of the financial year 2025/26 (Q1 2024/25: 10.3%).

Adj. EBIT in Asia stood at €0.5 million in the first quarter of the financial year 2025/26, representing a decline of -19.0% compared to the same reporting period last year (Q1 2024/25: €0.7 million). Adj. EBIT margin slightly decreased from 3.4% last year to 3.2%.

The decrease in Asia primarily resulted from lower revenue in Series business, driven by continued weak demand for running platforms such as BMW X5 and X3 as well as the slow ramp-up of the new Volvo S90L.
