Destaco has been part of Stabilus Group for the last twelve months.
Major integration tasks are largely completed. Ongoing projects are on track: further localization of production, stronger focus on industrial market segments, introduction of new products.
In the last twelve months, the company has generated €187.1m revenues, €36.6m EBIT (19.6% of revenue) and €36.0m FCF (19.2% of revenue).
Sales and cost synergies in H1 FY25 amounted to €4.5m and €0.6m, respectively.
The acquisition expands Stabilus product portfolio, increases diversification and robustness, strengthens the Group's industrial machinery and automation business.

› The market environment continues to be challenging.

The imposed tariffs disrupt global supply chains, reduce visibility and increase uncertainty.
Stabilus Group has taken precautionary measures to mitigate the negative impact from additional tariffs, to protect its market shares and margins.
Lower visibility on customer demand and customer capex decisions.
Based on the current tariff legislation in the U.S. and other countries, we estimate the additional tariff payments in FY2025 in the range of €5m to €10m. Mitigating actions: pricing adjustments, sourcing optimization.

Despite the challenging market environment, Stabilus showed higher revenues in Q2 FY25.
We continue to work on NWC1reductions and CAPEX optimization.
Stabilus Group's approach is being "in region – for the region", "local for local". The impact of the global trade conflict and the risk of additional tariff payments is limited. Based on current tariff legislation and assuming that the trade conflict does not escalate and deteriorate further, we confirm our guidance for FY2025.
We continue to pursue our long-term strategy STAR 2030, focusing on profitable and sustainable growth, customer and employee satisfaction, innovation and sustainability.

We are pleased to invite investors and analysts to a Capital Markets Day (CMD) in Koblenz on June 4, 2025. At the CMD, Stabilus management will provide an update on current developments in operating segments and business units, the integration of Destaco and the progress of the STAR 2030 strategy.
