Foreword of the Executive Board
Dear Shareholders, dear Sir or Madam,
From the outset, 2025 was marked by a challenging market environment for the Semperit Group, with developments related to US tariff policy also contributing to increased volatility and uncertainty. These factors led to a subdued start to the year and noticeably dampened our customers' propensity to invest. It is therefore even more satisfying that we have been able to gain momentum from the second quarter onwards, as forecast.
This positive development continued in the third quarter, with EBITDA rising to EUR 21.3 million (after EUR 19.6 million in the second quarter and EUR 11.1 million in the first quarter of 2025). We were unable to fully compensate for the weak first quarter – revenue was down 4.6% year-on-year at EUR 483.4 million and EBITDA for the first three quarters fell by 18.6% to EUR 52.0 million. However, the continuous improvement in earnings shows the effect of our measures: cost reductions, process optimizations, efficiency improvements, and a further increase in customer focus are paying off.
In financial terms, we remain in a solid position with an equity ratio of 47.0% and a conservative leverage ratio of 1.5x (net financial debt in relation to EBITDA). Cash and cash equivalents amounted to EUR 86.6 million at the end of September. In the past third quarter, we repaid a corporate Schuldschein loan with a nominal value of EUR 31 million from our own resources.
Outlook
Based on the earnings performance to date, we have refined our annual forecast. For the 2025 financial year, we now expect operating EBITDA (before project costs) of around EUR 78 million (previously: EUR 65 million to EUR 85 million). The costs for our digitalization project OneERP that will affect earnings will amount to around EUR 5 million.
The order situation has gained considerable momentum over the course of the year, but the market environment remains challenging. In the SIA division, the fact that our customers have completed their inventory reduction in the hose business unit is having a positive effect. In the Profiles business unit, important leading indicators – such as the number of building permits in Germany – are showing the first signs of bottoming out. However, this is only expected to be reflected in order intake after a time lag.
The SEA division is showing mixed developments: while individual product groups, such as Mountain Applications and Handrails Europe, are performing very well, momentum in other business areas has slowed somewhat after a strong mid-year performance. In addition, the Chinese market for handrails proves to be challenging, as demand is suffering from weak infrastructure development due to high local government debt and cautious investment.
Overall, we are confident about the coming year. We expect the seasonal trend to be similar to that of 2025, with a subdued start to the year and a noticeable upturn as the year progresses. Thanks to our lean, efficient structures and our focus on innovation and the development of new product segments, we are confident that we will be able to benefit above average from even a slight market recovery.
The infrastructure program in Germany, rising defense spending in the European Union and efforts to rebuild Ukraine are also clearly positive drivers for our business in the medium term.

Group Management Report
Development in the raw material markets
Technically Specified Rubber, TSR20 SICOM (Usc/kg)
Various raw materials such as butadiene, carbon black and natural rubber are important basic components for the manufacture of elastomer products. In the first three quarters of 2025, commodity markets were mainly affected by lower global demand and uncertainties related to US tariff policy. Below is an overview of the most important raw materials:

Prices for butadiene – an essential raw material for both Semperit divisions – developed differently across regions: while they fell by 15% in Asia during the reporting period, they rose slightly overall in Europe. Similar regional trends were also evident for butadiene derivatives.
HFO, Heavy Fuel Oil 1% NWE (USD/t)
Carbon black prices, which are also important for both divisions and correlate with heavy fuel oil (HFO), fell by 6% in Europe, which was less than the 9% decline in HFO prices. This discrepancy can be explained, on the one hand, by sanctions against carbon black imports from Russia and Belarus, which made more expensive deliveries from other regions necessary, and, on the other hand, by the significant increase in European gas prices.
Natural rubber, which is particularly relevant for the Belting business unit, rose by 7% on Asian exchanges in the reporting period compared with the same period last year.
The price of iron ore, an important raw material for wire rod production, was on average below the previous year's level in the first three quarters. However, there was an increase in the third quarter, indicating a possible upward trend.
In the first nine months of 2025, the average price of wire rod was around 3% lower than in the same period of 2024. Nevertheless, prices are now slightly rising again.

1 Operating EBITDA: excluding items affecting comparability. Adjusted for the expense for the 'OneERP' project (1-9 2025: EUR –3.5 million and 1-9 2024: EUR –0.9 million)
The Semperit Group continued the improvement in earnings in the third quarter of 2025, despite a market environment that remained challenging. After a subdued start to the year, EBITDA rose to EUR 21.3 million in the third quarter, compared to EUR 19.6 million in the second quarter and EUR 11.1 million in the first quarter of 2025. Revenue for the first three quarters amounted to EUR 483.4 million (–4.6%), EBITDA to EUR 52.0 million (–18.6%) and operating EBITDA before project costs to EUR 55.6 million. The recovery in the order situation compared with the same period last year continued.
The Semperit Industrial Applications (SIA) division, which comprises Hoses and Profiles, generated revenue of EUR 201.2 million (–1.0%) and EBITDA of EUR 37.7 million (–8.3%). This resulted in a margin of 18.7% (–1.5 PP). In the Hose business unit, direct customers have stopped destocking, while the profile business continues to be affected by the weak construction industry. The SEA division (Form, Belting and Liquid Silicone Rubber/LSR), which was confronted with project postponements by customers in the conveyor belt and LSR mold businesses in the first quarter, recovered in the following quarters and generated revenue of EUR 282.2 million (–7.0%), EBITDA of EUR 26.3 million (–28.5%) and an EBITDA margin of 9.3% (–2.8 PP).1
Inventories of own products increased in the Group by EUR 9.4 million in the first nine months (previous year: inventory reduction of EUR 3.3 million). Total expenses remained stable at EUR 449.6 million (previous year: EUR 446.6 million). Cost of materials amounted to EUR 215.5 million (previous year: EUR 213.5 million), personnel expenses to EUR 166.5 million (previous year: EUR 166.4 million) and other operating expenses to EUR 67.6 million (EUR 66.7 million).
EBITDA thus reached EUR 52.0 million (previous year: EUR 63.9 million) and the EBITDA margin was 10.8% (previous year: 12.6%). Operating EBITDA amounted to EUR 55.6 million (previous year: EUR 64.8 million) and the margin to 11.5% (previous year: 12.8%). EBITDA was adjusted for effects on income from the Group's flagship digital transformation project ("oneERP") amounting to EUR 3.5 million. These are non-capitalizable expenses for the implementation of a uniform enterprise resource planning system across the Group. The capitalizable development costs for the ongoing implementation amounted to EUR 1.4 million in the reporting period.

The comparative figures have been adjusted accordingly.
{5}------------------------------------------------
Regular depreciation and amortization increased slightly to EUR 36.9 million (previous year: EUR 34.6 million). Impairment losses on intangible assets amounted to EUR 3.3 million and related to the customer base in the Liquid Silicon Rubber (LSR) segment. EBIT thus amounted to EUR 11.8 million (previous year: EUR 26.8 million).
The financial result amounted to EUR –15.4 million (previous year: EUR –12.1 million), with the deviation primarily attributable to negative currency effects resulting from the weaker US dollar.
Tax expenses fell to EUR 4.8 million (previous year: EUR 7.7 million), bringing earnings after tax to EUR –8.4 million (previous year: EUR 7.1 million). This corresponds to earnings per share of EUR –0.41 (previous year: EUR 0.35).

1 The comparative figures have been adjusted.
The third quarter of 2025 shows a significant improvement in earnings compared with the two previous quarters and the same period of the previous year. EBITDA rose to EUR 21.3 million (Q2: EUR 19.6 million; Q1: EUR 11.1 million), up 28.7% on the previous year's figure of EUR 16.6 million (Q3 2024). Revenue increased slightly by 1.1% to EUR 162.9 million (previous year: EUR 161.1 million). The previous year's quarter was impacted by negative inventory effects.
Operating EBITDA before project costs for OneERP amounted to EUR 22.7 million (Q3 2024: EUR 17.0 million). Earnings after tax, at EUR 2.8 million, turned positive following losses in the two previous quarters and in the same period of the previous year (Q2 2025: EUR –4.0 million, Q1 2025: EUR –7.2 million, and Q3 2024: EUR –2.5 million).
The Semperit Industrial Applications division recorded an increase in revenue of 7.0% to EUR 67.5 million and a 21.6% increase in EBITDA to EUR 13.4 million compared to the same period last year. At EUR 95.4 million, revenue in the Semperit Engineered Applications division in the third quarter was 2.6% below the previous year's figure, while EBITDA improved by 27.9% to EUR 11.6 million.
Dividend policy
At the 136th Annual General Meeting of Semperit AG Holding held on April 23, 2025, the distribution of a dividend of EUR 0.50 per share for the 2024 financial year was resolved and paid out to the shareholders on April 30, 2025. The total amount was EUR 10.3 million.

Assets and financial position
Balance sheet
The development of the balance sheet structure as of September 30, 2025, can be summarized as follows:
Balance sheet
| in EUR million | 09/30/2025 | Share | 12/31/2024 | Share | Change |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Non-current assets | 576.7 | 67% | 604.2 | 66% | –4.6% |
| Current assets | 281.2 | 33% | 308.6 | 34% | –8.9% |
| ASSETS | 858.0 | 100% | 912.9 | 100% | –6.0% |
| Equity | 403.4 | 47% | 430.9 | 47% | –6.4% |
| Non-current provisions and liabilities | 289.1 | 34% | 314.4 | 34% | –8.0% |
| Current provisions and liabilities | 165.5 | 19% | 167.6 | 18% | –1.3% |
| EQUITY AND LIABILITIES | 858.0 | 100% | 912.9 | 100% | –6.0% |
Non-current assets remained largely stable at EUR 576.7 million (–4.6%), of which EUR 445.9 million was attributable to property, plant, and equipment (December 31, 2024: EUR 466.6 million). Essentially, additions to fixed assets amounting to EUR 21.7 million (primarily plant under construction and technical equipment) were offset by regular depreciation of EUR 36.9 million. Impairment losses on intangible assets in the Liquid Silicone Rubber (LSR) segment amounted to EUR 3.3 million.
The decline in current assets to EUR 281.2 million (–8.9%) is mainly attributable to the use of cash and cash equivalents to repay a corporate Schuldschein loan with a nominal value of EUR 31 million at the end of July. Overall, cash and cash equivalents decreased by EUR 39.4 million to EUR 86.6 million. Other financial assets also declined by EUR 3.5 million to EUR 1.9 million as a result of the expiry of a short-term investment. Inventories increased by EUR 13.3 million to EUR 99.1 million. In contrast, trade receivables decreased by EUR 2.6 million to EUR 71.0 million. As of September 30, 2025, trade receivables amounting to EUR 28.4 million (December 31, 2024: EUR 16.8 million) had been sold to a factoring bank.
Equity reflects the dividend payment and the negative result. The reduction in financial liabilities to EUR 199.1 million (December 31, 2024: EUR 234.1 million) was primarily due to the repayment of the corporate Schuldschein loan.
Net Financial Debt
| in EUR million | 09/30/2025 | Change | 12/31/2024 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Corporate Schuldschein loan | 7.0 | –81.7% | 38.4 |
| Liabilities to banks | 192.0 | –1.8% | 195.7 |
| Financial liabilities | 199.1 | –14.9% | 234.1 |
| Cash and cash equivalents | 86.6 | –31.2% | 126.0 |
| Short-term time deposits | 0.0 | –100.0% | 4.8 |
| Cash and cash equivalents | 86.6 | –33.7% | 130.7 |
| Net Financial Debt (+) / Net Financial Surplus (–) | 112.5 | 8.8% | 103.3 |
As of September 30, 2025, the Semperit Group had net financial debt of EUR 112.5 million, as financial liabilities (EUR 199.1 million) exceeded cash and cash equivalents (EUR 86.6 million) (December 31, 2024: net financial debt of EUR 103.3 million). The leverage ratio as the quotient of net financial debt divided by EBITDA (for the last twelve months), was 1.5x as of September 30, 2025 (December 31, 2024: 1.2x).
{7}------------------------------------------------
Cash flow
The cash flow statement is prepared jointly for continued and discontinued operations (relating to the comparative period 2024); no distinction is made between the cash flows of the individual business units.
The development of the liquidity situation in the first nine months of 2025 can be summarized as follows:
Cash flow1
| in EUR million | 1-9 2025 | Change | 1-9 2024 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cash flows from operating activities | 42.4 | –26.7% | 57.9 |
| Cash flows from investing activities | –18.5 | –57.2% | –43.3 |
| Cash flows from financing activities | –60.9 | n/a | –16.4 |
| Net increase / decrease in cash and cash equivalents | –39.4 | n/a | –1.5 |
1 The calculation includes continued and discontinued operations.
In the first nine months of 2025, cash flow from earnings amounted to EUR 42.8 million (previous year: EUR 55.7 million), and cash flow from operating activities amounted to EUR 42.4 million (previous year: EUR 57.9 million).
Cash flow from investing activities amounted to EUR –18.5 million (previous year: EUR –43.3 million). Cash-effective investments in intangible assets and property, plant, and equipment were at EUR 25.8 million significantly lower than in the previous year (EUR 54.7 million). Of this, EUR 7.1 million was attributable to strategic and growth investments (primarily the expansion of hose production in Odry, Czech Republic). In the same period of the previous year, the figure was EUR 25.8 million. In terms of individual countries, the largest investments were made in the Czech Republic at EUR 9.0 million (previous year: EUR 23.2 million), in Austria at EUR 7.8 million (previous year: EUR 19.0 million), in Poland at EUR 3.7 million (previous year: EUR 5.6 million), in Germany at EUR 1.8 million (previous year: EUR 1.7 million) and in the USA at EUR 1.1 million (previous year: EUR 3.3 million).
Cash flow from financing activities amounted to EUR –60.9 million (previous year: EUR –16.4 million) and primarily included repayments of financial and lease liabilities amounting to EUR –38.4 million, interest payments of EUR –8.7 million, and dividend payments of EUR at EUR 25.8 million –10.3 million. The comparative period in 2024 was primarily characterized by the dividend payment in the same amount, the assumption of financial liabilities in the amount of EUR 26.0 million, and the repayment of other financial liabilities amounting to EUR 14.0 million.

1 As part of the optimization of the industrial strategy, the mandrel hose product group was transferred from the Semperit Industrial Applications division to the Semperit Engineered Applications division with effect from January 1, 2025. The comparative figures have been adjusted accordingly.
- The business performance of the SIA Division reflects the persistently challenging economic environment. However, the momentum of the sales-related decline has slowed. At EUR 201.2 million, revenue in the first three quarters was roughly on par with the previous year (after –4.7% in the first half of 2025), while EBITDA at EUR 37.7 million was 8.3% below the comparable figure (after –19.2% in the first half of 2025). The EBITDA margin amounted to 18.7% (previous year: 20.2%), with 19.9% achieved in the third quarter. Overall, the order situation shows a recovery compared with the same period of the previous year, driven primarily by the hose business.
- Demand for hydraulic and industrial hoses remained subdued due to the general market situation. OEM business in particular i.e., supplying original equipment manufacturers via our direct customers – continued to perform poorly, which impacted the business situation. While OEMs have differing assessments of when a recovery might occur, there is a positive trend in direct customer business: inventory reduction is largely complete. However, the timing and speed of a sustained recovery in demand remain difficult to predict. In the first three quarters, both order intake and order backlog at the end of September were up on the previous year. However, sales volumes did not quite reach the previous year's level. Measures to reduce fixed costs and an increased share of our customers' purchasing volume ("share of wallet") had a positive effect.
- Demand and order intake for elastomer and sealing profiles remain subdued due to the continuing weakness of the construction industry. Nevertheless, the first economic lead indicators, such as the number of building permits in the German construction industry, are showing the first signs of stabilization after three years of decline. However, a short-term recovery is not expected, as experience shows that there is a long period between the approval and actual implementation of construction projects.

1 As part of the optimization of the industrial strategy, the mandrel hose product group was transferred from the Semperit Industrial Applications division to the Semperit Engineered Applications division with effect from January 1, 2025. The comparative figures have been adjusted accordingly.
- Revenue of the SEA Division reached EUR 282.2 million (–7.0%) in the first three quarters of 2025, which was due to the subdued performance in the first quarter, primarily as a result of project postponements in the conveyor belt and LSR molding businesses. As expected, these areas showed a significant recovery from the second quarter onwards, but this was not enough to fully compensate for the weak start of the year. The division's EBITDA amounted to EUR 26.3 million and the margin to 9.3% (previous year: EUR 36.7 million and 12.1% respectively). Overall, the order situation improved compared with the same period of the previous year.
- The Form business unit, which has also included the mandrel hose product group since the beginning of the year, recorded a slight increase in revenue. Demand developed differently across the board: Mountain Applications, Industrial, and Handrail Europe performed particularly well. The transport business developed stably, however, there were delays in major rail infrastructure projects and budget shifts towards the defense sector. The Chinese market for handrails remains challenging, since demand is hampered by weak infrastructure development, which is attributable to the high level of debt of local authorities and a cautious investment policy. Overall, order intake and order backlog in the Form business unit were above the previous year's level.
- At the beginning of the year, the Belting business unit (conveyor belts) was mainly affected by ongoing delays in customer projects and significantly increased uncertainty regarding US tariff policy. Other factors included temporary shifts in the product mix toward lighter belts and price pressure from Asian competitors. The order situation began to recover in the second quarter, but momentum slowed somewhat in the third quarter. Overall, both order intake for the first three quarters and the order backlog at the end of September were above the comparable figures for the previous year.
- The LSR business unit (Rico) recorded stable revenue compared to the previous year but was able to increase EBITDA. Order intake for parts production developed satisfactorily overall, with demand varying depending on the product group: production call-offs from the healthcare sector increased, consumer goods and food remained stable, and demand in the mobility segment remained at a high level. By contrast, there were declines in areas related to the construction industry. In mold production for external tools, there was a significant recovery after project-related delays in the first quarter. Capacity utilization increased noticeably, creating a solid foundation for future capacity utilization in parts production.
Employees
As of September 30, 2025, the headcount stood at 4,003 employees (FTE, full-time equivalent, including temporary staff), down from September 30, 2024 (continued operations: 4,073). The decline is primarily attributable to the reduction in headcount as part of the cost-cutting program. On average, the headcount for the first nine months of 2025 was 3,992 employees (average 1-9 2024: 4,210).

Impairment losses totaling EUR 3,303 thousand relate to certain non-contractual customer relationships that have ceased to exist within the LSR (Rico) business unit of the Semperit Engineered Applications division. In the previous year, impairment losses were primarily recognized for two salt bath systems of Semperit Profiles Leeser GmbH (Germany) in the Semperit Industrial Applications division, amounting to EUR 1,745 thousand, due to the absence of future economic use.
